NOTE
l
The keyless operation key uses an ultra-
weak electromagnetic wave. In the following
cases, the keyless operation system may not
operate properly or may be unstable.
•
When there is equipment nearby that
emits strong radio waves, such as: a pow-
er station, a radio/TV broadcasting station
or an airport.
•
The keyless operation system is carried
together with a communications device
such as a cellular phone or radio set, or
with an electronic device such as a per-
sonal computer.
•
The keyless operation key is touching or
covered by a metal object.
•
A keyless entry system is being used
nearby.
•
When the keyless operation key battery is
worn out.
•
When the keyless operation key is placed
in an area with strong radio waves or
noise.
In such cases, use the emergency key.
Refer to “To operate without using the
keyless operation function” on page
3-21.
NOTE
l
Because the keyless operation key receives
signals in order to communicate with the
transmitters in the vehicle, the battery con-
tinually wears down regardless of keyless
operation key use. The battery life is 1 to 3
years, depending on usage conditions. When
the battery wears out, please consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
If you replace the battery yourself, refer to
“Procedure for replacing the remote control
switch battery” on page 3-24.
l
Because the keyless operation key continual-
ly receives signals, strong radio wave recep-
tion could affect battery wear. Do not leave
the key near a TV, personal computer, or
other electronic device.
