• When there is equipment nearby that emits
strong radio waves, such as: a power sta-
tion, 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 personal
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

• 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 lock/unlock without using the
keyless operation function” on page 3-10.
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 bat-
tery according to the description in this man-
ual or have it replaced an authorised
MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.
Refer to “Procedure for replacing the key
battery” on page 3-5.
Because the keyless operation key continu-
ally receives signals, strong radio wave
reception could affect battery wear. Do not
leave the key near a TV, personal computer,
or other electronic device.
