N00544000076
You can program new remote control transmitters to the system
if you have one valid (already registered) remote control trans-
mitter by doing the following:
1. Have available all (current and new) remote control trans-
mitters you wish to register.
2. With a valid (already registered) remote control transmit-
ter, press the UNLOCK button (2) for 4 to 10 seconds.
Then press and hold the LOCK button (1).
3. Within 10 seconds of pressing the LOCK button, release
the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons in sequence. At this
time, ID codes for all remote control transmitters except
for the transmitter used in steps 2 and 3 are erased and the
answerback function (door is locked and unlocked)
informs you that the registration mode has been activated.
4. Within 60 seconds after step 3, complete the following ID
code registration operation using the next remote control
transmitter you wish to register within 4 seconds.
i. Press both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons for 2 sec-
onds.
ii. Release both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons for 1
second.
iii. Press the UNLOCK button. The answerback function
informs you that the ID code registration of the trans-
mitter is completed.
5. To register the ID codes of additional remote control
transmitters, repeat step 4 within 60 seconds after step 4.6. If no ID code of a remote control transmitter is registered
within 60 seconds after step 4, the registration mode is
canceled and the normal mode returns.
NOTE

locked and no doors are opened within about 30 seconds,
the doors will automatically re-lock.
On a vehicle equipped with a Mitsubishi Multi-Communi-
cation System, the functions can be adjusted on the

NOTE

The F.A.S.T.-key uses weak electromagnetic waves.
In cases such as the following, operation may be improper
or unstable.
 The vehicle is near a facility that emits strong electro-
magnetic waves, such as a TV transmitting tower, a
power station, a radio station or an airport
 The key is carried together with other communication
devices such as cellular phones or radios, or electrical
appliances such as computers
 The F.A.S.T.-key touches or is covered by a metal object
 A keyless entry system is being used nearby
 The battery of the F.A.S.T.-key is run down
 The vehicle is in a location with strong electromagnetic
waves or noise
Use the emergency key in such circumstances.
Refer to “To operate using the emergency key” on page 3-
33.


The F.A.S.T.-key is constantly performing reception oper-
ations in its communication with the vehicle. This means
that the battery is always running down, regardless of how
often the F.A.S.T.-key is used. The battery life is about 1
to 3 years, depending on the usage conditions.


Since the F.A.S.T.-key is constantly performing reception
operations, the reception of strong electromagnetic waves
can accelerate the running down of the battery. Do not
place near electrical appliances such as televisions or
computers.
Operating range of the F.A.S.T.-key
N00503200109
When a person enters the operating range of the F.A.S.T.-key
while carrying the F.A.S.T.-key and operates a switch or handle
of a door or the trunk lid, verification of the ID code is per-
formed.
The F.A.S.T.-key enables the doors to be locked and unlocked,
the trunk lid to be opened and the engine to be started only
when the ID codes of the vehicle and F.A.S.T.-key match.NOTE

When the battery of the F.A.S.T.-key has run down or
there are strong electromagnetic waves or noise in the
area, the operating range could decrease or operations
could become unstable.
