WARNINGlDo  not  use  the 
MITSUBISHI Remote
Control  if  children,  persons  in  need  of care,  pets,  etc.  are  in  the  vehicle.  Even  if the  remote  climate  control  is  used,  thecabin may become hot or cold due to somereasons  such  as  automatic  stop  of  the  sys-
tem.  The  cabin  temperature  may  quickly
rise in sunshine, which poses a risk of heat
stroke  and  dehydration.  In  cold  weather, on  the  other  hand,  the  cabin  temperature
may  quickly  drop.  Either  of  which  could lead to death in the worst case.
l The  cooling  fan  in  the  engine  compart-
ment  may  operate  automatically  when
charging or when operating air condition- er.  Do  not  bring  your  hand  close  to  the
cooling fan during charging.CAUTIONl Do  not  use  the  charging  timer  or  the  remote
climate control with a car cover.NOTEl Keep  the  following  points  in  mind  when  us-
ing a wireless LAN device:
• Communication  speed  and  range  vary  de-
pending on the wireless LAN devices and the surrounding conditions (radio environ-
ment,  obstacles,  parking  area  environ- ment, etc.).NOTE• Due  to  the  characteristics  of  radio  waves,
communication speed tends to decrease as the  communication  distance  increases.
Use  your  wireless  LAN  device  at  a  short
distance  from  the  vehicle  for  better  re-
sponse.
• When  a  microwave  oven  or  ISM  (indus-
trial,  scientific  and  medical)  equipment  is being  used,  the  communication  speed  and
range  of  wireless  LAN  devices  may  de- crease.  Use  your  wireless  LAN  device
away  from  these  appliances  and  equip-
ment.
• If  a  wireless  LAN  device  and  Bluetooth
(registered  trademark  of  Bluetooth  SIG, Inc.)  are  used  simultaneously,  the  com-
munication  speed  and  range  of  each  de- vice  may  decrease.  Use  your  wireless
LAN  device  away  from  Bluetooth  devi- ces.
l Wireless  LAN  devices  may  not  communi-
cate  with  the  vehicle,  or  may  not  operate
normally  or  stably  in  the  following  environ- ment or situations. Check that the device cancommunicate with your vehicle before use.
• There is an obstruction such as a concrete
or  metal  wall  between  the  vehicle  and
wireless LAN device.
• The  vehicle  is  surrounded  by  tall  vehicles
in a parking lot.
• There are facilities nearby that emit strong
radio  waves,  such  as  a  TV  tower,  trans-
former  substation,  broadcasting  station  or airport.NOTE• There  is  a  communication  device  such  as
a mobile phone or radio, or an electric de- vice  such  as  a  personal  computer  near  thewireless LAN device.
• The  wireless  LAN  device  is  in  contact
with or covered by a metal object.
• The  battery  of  the  wireless  LAN  device
has run down.
l The 
MITSUBISHI   Remote  Control  cannot
be used under the following conditions:
• The wireless LAN device is turned off.

• The  wireless  LAN  device  is  out  of  the
communication range.
• The  wireless  LAN  device  is  connected  to
other wireless LAN device.
• The wireless LAN device has failed, or its
battery has run out.
l Some  charging  facilities  have  a  timer  func-
tion  that  turns  the  power  on  or  off  at  a  spe- cific time of the day. When charging at a fa-cility  with  a  timer  function,  make  sure  that

stored in the drive battery.
l While  the  remote  climate  control  is  operat-
ing  or  the  charging,  the  cooling  fan  or  air conditioner  compressor  may  start  operating and its sound may be heard. This is normal.
l The  remote  climate  control  operates  in  its
own  mode  based  on  the  mode  selected  on
the  wireless  LAN  device,  regardless  of  the switch  setting  of  the  vehicle’s  air  condition-
er.
l Air  conditioning  performance  may  deterio-
rate or the remaining charge in the drive bat-tery  may  decrease  under  the  following  con-
ditions:
• In extremely hot weather.
• In hot sunshine.
• In extremely cold weather.
l If  the  remote  climate  control  is  started  dur-
ing  charging,  the  time  until  full  charge  may extend or the charging rate may decrease.
l When  the  remaining  quantity  of  the  drive
battery is decreased, the remote climate con-
trol  does  not  operate  or  it  may  stop  on  the way.NOTEl When  the  auxiliary  battery  is  removed,  the
timer  control  of  the  MITSUBISHI Remote
Control  is  reset  and  each  function  of  the MITSUBISHI   Remote  Control  can  not  be
