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 transmitter
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

For verification purposes, try to lock and unlock the doors
after the registration is completed.


The indicator light (4) comes on each time a button is
pressed.


The keyless entry system does not work if the key is in the
ignition switch.


The remote control transmitter can be used from about 40
feet (12 m) away. However, this distance may change if
your vehicle is near a TV transmitting tower, a power sta-
tion, or a radio station.


If the UNLOCK button (2) is pressed when all doors and
the tailgate are locked and no doors or the tailgate are
opened within about 30 seconds, the doors and the tailgate
will automatically re-lock.
On a vehicle equipped with a Mitsubishi Multi-Communi-
cation System, the functions can be adjusted on the
screen. For details, refer to the separate operation manual.


If the following conditions are observed after pressing the
LOCK (1) or UNLOCK (2) button on the remote control
transmitter, the battery in the remote control transmitter
may need to be replaced.
 The doors and the tailgate cannot be locked or unlocked.
 The panic alarm cannot be operated.
 The indicator light (4) is dim or does not come on.

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 without using the F.A.S.T.-key” on
page 3-35.


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 to electrical appliances such as televisions or
computers.
Operating range of the F.A.S.T.-key
N00503200095
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 tailgate, verification of the ID code is per-
formed.
The doors and the tailgate can only be locked and unlocked and
the engine can only be started 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.

Starting
N00514600145
Tips for starting

Do not operate the starter motor for longer than 15 sec-
onds as this could run the battery down or damage the
starter motor. If the engine does not start, turn the ignition
switch back to the “LOCK” position, wait a few seconds,
and then try again. Trying repeatedly with the engine or
starter motor still turning will damage the starter mecha-
nism.


If the engine will not start because the battery is weak or
discharged, refer to “Jump-starting the engine” on page 6-
2 for instructions.


A longer warm up period will only consume extra fuel.
The engine is warmed up enough for driving when the bar
graph of engine coolant tempareture display starts to
move. Refer to “Interrupt display screen (When the igni-
tion switch is in the “ON” position)” on page 3-174.
CAUTION
!

Carry the key with you when leaving the vehicle.


If your vehicle needs to be towed, turn the ignition
switch to the “ACC” position to unlock the steering
wheel.
