(F.A.S.T.-key)
(if so equipped)
N00503100108
The Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (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 simply by carrying it.
The F.A.S.T.-key can also be used as the remote control trans-
mitter of the keyless entry system.
Refer to “Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-
key)”: “Keyless entry system” on page 3-43.The F.A.S.T.-key must be carried by the driver. The F.A.S.T.-
key is required for vehicle operations such as locking and
unlocking the doors, opening the trunk lid, and starting the
engine. When leaving the vehicle, make sure you are carrying
the F.A.S.T.-key and then lock the vehicle.

Individuals who use implantable pacemakers or
implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators should
keep away from the external and internal transmit-
ters. The electromagnetic waves used in the F.A.S.T.-
key may affect the operation of implantable pace-
makers and implantable cardiovascular-defibrilla-
tors.

The operations possible with the F.A.S.T.-key can be
modified as stated below. (Keyless entry operations are
possible.) For details, contact an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
• Enabling only the locking and unlocking of the doors
and the opening of the trunk lid
• Enabling only the starting of the engine
• Deactivating the F.A.S.T.-key
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-
32.

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.
WA R N I N G
!
Individuals using other electrical medical appara-
tuses besides implantable pacemakers and implant-
able cardiovascular-defibrillators should check with
the manufacturer of the apparatus to confirm the
effect of the electromagnetic waves used by the
F.A.S.T.-key. The electromagnetic waves may affect
the operations of the electro-medical apparatus.
