N00544000089
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 liftgate are locked and no doors or the liftgate are
opened within about 30 seconds, the doors and the liftgate
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 liftgate cannot be locked or unlocked.
• The panic alarm cannot be operated.
• The indicator light (4) is dim or does not come on.

If you lose your remote control transmitter, please contact
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer for a replacement.

NOTE
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic immobilizer.
To start the engine, the ID code which the F.A.S.T.-key
sends must match the one registered to the immobilizer
computer. (Refer to “Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft
starting system)” on page 3-31)Changing the operation mode
N00568000012
If you press the engine switch without pressing the brake pedal
{continuously variable transmission (CVT)} or the clutch
pedal (manual transaxle) while the vehicle is stationary, you
can change the operation mode in the order of OFF, ACC, ON,
OFF.
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.
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.

NOTE
To avoid the risk of damage to the tire inflation pressure
sensors, have any punctured tire repaired by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer. If the tire repair is not done by
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer, it is not covered
by your warranty.

Do not use an aerosol puncture-repair spray on any tire.
Such a spray could damage the tire inflation pressure sen-
sors.
Have any puncture repaired by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
The tire pressure monitoring system may not work normally in
the following circumstances:

A wireless facility or device using the same frequency is
near the vehicle.

Snow or ice is stuck inside the fenders and/or on the
wheels.

The tire inflation pressure sensor’s battery is dead.

Wheels other than Mitsubishi genuine wheels are being
used.

Wheels that are not fitted with tire inflation pressure sen-
sors are being used.

Wheels whose ID codes are not memorized by the vehicle
are used.

Compact spare tire is fitted on a road wheel.

A window tint that affects the radio wave signals is
installed.
NOTE
Tire inflation pressures vary with the ambient tempera-
ture. If the vehicle is subjected to large variations in ambi-
ent temperature, the tire inflation pressures may be under-
inflated (causing the warning light/display come on) when
the ambient temperature is relatively low. If the warning
light/display comes on, adjust the tire inflation pressure.Whenever the tires and wheels are replaced with
new ones
N00532900153
If new wheels with new tire inflation pressure sensors are
installed, their ID codes must be programmed into the tire pres-
sure monitoring system. Have tire and wheel replacement per-
formed by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to avoid the
risk of damaging the tire inflation pressure sensors. If the
wheel replacement is not done by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer, it is not covered by your warranty.
CAUTION
!
The use of non-genuine wheels will prevent the
proper fit of the tire inflation pressure sensors,
resulting air leakage or damage of the sensors.
