• When the keyless operation key is set
down 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
1-15.
l
Because the keyless operation key receives
signals in order to communicate with the trans-
mitters in the vehicle, the battery continually
wears down regardless of keyless operation
key use. The battery life is 1 to 3 years, de-
pending on usage conditions. When the bat-
tery wears out, have it replaced at your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
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 oth-
er electronic device.
