The installation of accessories, optional parts, etc., should
only be carried out within the limits prescribed by law in
the driving area and in accordance with the guidelines and
warnings contained within the documents accompanying
this vehicle.
Only Mitsubishi Motors approved accessories should be

fuel systems” section within this owner’s manual.


Using a cellular phone or radio set inside the vehicle with-
out an external antenna may cause electrical system inter-
ference, which could lead to unsafe vehicle operation.


Tires and wheels which do not meet specifications must
not be used.
Refer to the “Specifications” section for information
regarding wheel and tire sizes.
Important point!Due to the large number of accessory and replacement parts
provided by different manufacturers in the market, it is not
always possible for an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to
check whether the attachment or installation of non-Mitsubishi
Motors genuine parts will affect the driving safety of your Mit-
subishi-vehicle.
CAUTION

Before any electrical or electronic accessories are
installed, consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.

!

If you choose to use a cellular phone while driving,
you must not allow that usage to distract you in the
safe operation of your vehicle. Anything, including
cellular phone usage, that distracts you from the
safe operation of your vehicle increases your risk of
an accident.
Refer to and follow all state and local laws in your
area regarding cellular phone usage while driving.

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-
34.


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
N00503200079
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 rear hatch, verification of the ID code is per-
formed.
The F.A.S.T.-key enables the doors and the rear hatch to be
locked and unlocked 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.

Information screen display list
N00557900040
When there is information to be announced, such as light
reminders, the tone sounds and the screen switches to the dis-
plays shown below. Refer to the appropriate page and take the
necessary measures.
When the cause of the warning display is eliminated, the warn-
ing display goes out automatically.
Refer to “Warning display list (With ignition switch in the
“OFF” position)” on page 3-204.
Refer to “Warning display list (With ignition switch in the
“ON” position)” on page 3-207.
Refer to “Other interrupt displays (With ignition switch in the
“ON” position)” on page 3-212.NOTE

In the following cases, a warning may be displayed on the
information screen and the buzzer may sound for a few
seconds, at times.
This is caused by the system picking up interference such
as strong electromagnetic waves or noise, and is not a
functional problem.
 An extremely strong electromagnetic wave is received
from a source such as an illegal radio set, a spark from a
wire, or a radar station.
 Abnormal voltage or a static electricity discharge is gen-
erated by the operation of installed electronics (includ-
ing after-market parts).
If the warning display has occurred a number of times,
take your vehicle to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair facility of your choice and have the sys-
tem checked.
