WARNING
l
When using electro-medical devices other
than implantable cardiac pacemakers or
implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators,
contact the electromedical device manu-
facturer ahead of time to determine the
affects of radio waves on the devices. Elec-
tromedical device operations could be ad-
versely effected by radio waves.
You can limit the possible operations of the
keyless operation system in the following
ways. (The keyless operation system can be
used as a keyless entry system.) Please con-
sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
l
You can limit operations to locking and
unlocking the doors and tailgate.
l
You can limit operations to starting the
engine.
l
The keyless operation system can be dis-
abled.
When keyless operation system operations
are modified, the operating transmitters are as
follows.
l
Only locking and unlocking doors or
tailgate: exterior transmitter and interior
transmitters
l
Only starting the engine: interior trans-
mitter
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
3-16.
To start the engine, touch the keyless op-
eration key to the engine switch.
Refer to “If the keyless operation key is
not operating properly” on page 6-23.
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 2
years, depending on usage conditions. When
the battery wears out, replace the battery ac-
cording to the description in this manual or
have it replaced at your MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Refer to “Procedure for replacing the key
battery” on page 3-07.
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.
