NOTEThe F.A.S.T.-key uses weak electromagnetic waves.
In cases such as the following, operation may be improper
or unstable.
• The vehicle is near a facility that emits strong electro-
magnetic waves, such as a TV transmitting tower, a
power station, a radio station or an airport
• The key is carried together with other communication
devices such as cellular phones or radios, or electrical
appliances such as computers
• The F.A.S.T.-key touches or is covered by a metal object
• A keyless entry system is being used nearby
• The battery of the F.A.S.T.-key is run down
• The vehicle is in a location with strong electromagnetic
waves or noise
Use the emergency key in such circumstances.
Refer to “To operate without using the F.A.S.T.-key” on
page 3-27.
The F.A.S.T.-key is constantly performing reception oper-
ations in its communication with the vehicle. This means
that the battery is always running down, regardless of how
often the F.A.S.T.-key is used. The battery life is about 1
to 3 years, depending on the usage conditions.
Since the F.A.S.T.-key is constantly performing reception
operations, the reception of strong electromagnetic waves
can accelerate the running down of the battery. Do not
place near to electrical appliances such as televisions or
computers.
Operating range of the F.A.S.T.-key
N00503200167
When a person enters the operating range of the F.A.S.T.-key
while carrying the F.A.S.T.-key and presses the driver’s door
lock/unlock switch the liftgate switch, verification of the ID
code is performed.
The doors and the liftgate can only be locked and unlocked, the
engine can only be started and the operation mode can only be
changed when the ID codes of the vehicle and F.A.S.T.-key
match.NOTEWhen the battery of the F.A.S.T.-key has run down or
there are strong electromagnetic waves or noise in the
area, the operating range could decrease or operations
could become unstable.

NOTEYour vehicle is equipped with an electronic immobilizer.
To start the engine, the ID code which the F.A.S.T.-key
sends must match the one registered to the immobilizer
computer. (Refer to “Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft
starting system)” on page 3-28)Changing the operation mode
N00568000025

Warning activation
N00503500216
With the F.A.S.T.-key, warnings are given through buzzers and
displayed symbols in order to prevent mistaken operations or
vehicle theft.
When a warning operates, be sure to check the vehicle and the
F.A.S.T.-key. A warning is also shown if there is a problem in
the F.A.S.T.-key.
If the following warning shows, contact an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
CAUTION
!When the engine is not running, put the operation
mode in OFF. Leaving the operation mode in ON or
ACC for a long time when the engine is not running
may cause the battery to be discharged, making it
impossible to start the engine. When the battery is disconnected, the current oper-
ation mode is memorized. After reconnecting the
battery, the memorized mode is selected automati-
cally. Before disconnecting the battery for repair or
replacement, make sure to put the operation mode
in OFF.
Be careful if you are not sure which operation mode
the vehicle is in when the battery is run down.The operation mode cannot be changed from OFF to
ACC or ON if the F.A.S.T.-key is not detected to be
in the vehicle. Refer to “Operating range for start-
ing the engine and changing the operation mode” on
page 3-17.

This setting can be changed.
See an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer for details.
The warning may display even if the F.A.S.T.-key is in the
operating range for starting the engine and changing the
operation mode. The surrounding environment or electro-
magnetic waves may make it impossible to verify the ID
codes of the F.A.S.T.-key and vehicle.

N00514600288
Tips for startingThe operation mode can be in any mode to start the
engine.
The starter motor will be turning for up to approximately
15 seconds if the engine switch is released at once. Press-
ing the engine switch again while the starter motor is still
turning will stop the starter motor. The starter motor will
be turning for up to approximately 30 seconds while the
engine switch is pressed.
If the engine does not start, wait for a while and then
attempt to start the engine again. Trying repeatedly with
the starter motor still turning will damage the starter
mechanism.
If the engine will not start because the battery is weak or
discharged, refer to “Jump-starting the engine” on page 6-
2 for instructions.A longer warm up period will only consume extra fuel.
The engine is warmed up enough for driving when the low
coolant temperature indicator goes out.
Refer to “Low coolant temperature indicator” on page 3-
110.
Starting the engineYour vehicle is equipped with an electronically controlled fuel
injection system. This is a system that automatically controls
fuel injection. There is usually no need to depress the accelera-
tor pedal when starting the engine.
To prevent battery drain, wait a few seconds between attempts
to restart the engine.
1. Make sure all occupants are properly seated with seat
belts fastened.
2. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
WA R N I N G
!Never run the engine in a closed or poorly ventilated
area any longer than is needed to move your vehicle
out of the area. Carbon monoxide gas, which is
odorless and extremely poisonous, could build up
and cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION
!Do not push-start the vehicle.Do not run the engine at high rpms or drive at high
speeds until the engine has had a chance to warm
up.
