(F.A.S.T.-key)
(if so equipped)
N00503100111
The Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key)
enables the doors and the liftgate to be locked and unlocked,
the engine to be started and the operation mode to be changed
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 3-33.
CAUTION
!
When the remote control transmitter case is opened,
be careful to keep water, dust, etc. out. Also, do not
touch the internal components.
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 and the liftgate, starting the engine, and
changing the operation mode. 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.

Individuals using other electro-medical apparatus
besides implantable pacemakers and implantable
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 oper-
ations of the electro-medical apparatus.

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 3-29.

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
N00503200125
When a person enters the operating range of the F.A.S.T.-key
while carrying the F.A.S.T.-key and presses the driver’s or
front passenger’s door lock/unlock switch, the liftgate LOCK
switch or the liftgate OPEN switch, verification of the ID code
is performed.
The doors and the liftgate can only be locked and unlocked, the
engine can only be started and the operation mode can only be
changed 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.

ACC power auto-cutout function
N00568100013
After approximately 30 minutes has elapsed with the operation
mode in ACC, the function automatically cuts out the power
for the audio system and other electric devices that can be
operated with that mode.
When the engine switch is pressed while the operation mode is
in ACC, the power is supplied again to those devices.
NOTE
It is possible to modify functions as follows:
• The time until the power cuts out can be changed to
approximately 60 minutes.
• The ACC power auto-cutout function can be deacti-
vated.
For details, we recommend you to consult an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
On vehicles equipped with Mitsubishi Multi-Communica-
tion System, screen operations can be used to make the
adjustment.
Refer to the separate Mitsubishi Multi-Communications
System manual for details.Warning activation
N00503500173
With the F.A.S.T.-key, warnings are given through buzzers and
displays on the information screen in the multi-information
display in order to prevent mistaken operations or vehicle theft.
When a warning operates, be sure to check the vehicle and the
F.A.S.T.-key. A warning is also displayed if there is a problem
in the F.A.S.T.-key.
If the following warning displays, contact an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer.
CAUTION
!
When the engine is not running, put the operation
mode in OFF. Leaving the operation mode in ON or
ACC for a long time when the engine is not running
may cause the battery to be discharged, making it
impossible to start the engine and to lock and unlock
the steering wheel.
When the battery is disconnected, the current oper-
ation mode is memorized. After reconnecting the
battery, the memorized mode is selected automati-
cally. Before disconnecting the battery for repair or
replacement, make sure to put the operation mode
in OFF.
Be careful if you are not sure which operation mode
the vehicle is in when the battery is run down.
The operation mode cannot be changed from OFF to
ACC or ON if the F.A.S.T.-key is not detected to be
in the vehicle. Refer to “Operating range for start-
ing the engine and changing the operation mode” on
page 3-18.

N00559800128
When the operation mode in any mode other than OFF, and a
door is opened and the F.A.S.T.-key is removed from the pas-
senger compartment so that the ID codes of the F.A.S.T.-key
and the vehicle can no longer be verified, the warning display
is displayed and the buzzer sounds 4 times as a warning.NOTE

function if the F.A.S.T.-key is removed through a window
without opening a door.
This setting can be changed.
See an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer for details.

The warning may display even if the F.A.S.T.-key is in the
operating range for starting the engine and changing the
operation mode. The surrounding environment or electro-
magnetic waves may make it impossible to verify the ID
codes of the F.A.S.T.-key and vehicle.
Put the operation mode in OFF and then start the
engine again.
If the warning is not cancelled, there is a fault in
the electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting sys-
tem).
Please contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.
Someone may be carrying a F.A.S.T.-key with a
different ID code, or the F.A.S.T.-key may not be
within the operating range
