WARNINGlDo not use the
MITSUBISHI Remote
Control if children, persons in need of care, pets, etc. are in the vehicle. Even if the remote climate control is used, thecabin may become hot or cold due to somereasons such as automatic stop of the sys-
tem. The cabin temperature may quickly
rise in sunshine, which poses a risk of heat
stroke and dehydration. In cold weather, on the other hand, the cabin temperature
may quickly drop. Either of which could lead to death in the worst case.
l The cooling fan in the engine compart-
ment may operate automatically when
charging or when operating air condition- er. Do not bring your hand close to the
cooling fan during charging.CAUTIONl Do not use the charging timer or the remote
climate control with a car cover.NOTEl Keep the following points in mind when us-
ing a wireless LAN device:
• Communication speed and range vary de-
pending on the wireless LAN devices and the surrounding conditions (radio environ-
ment, obstacles, parking area environ- ment, etc.).NOTE• Due to the characteristics of radio waves,
communication speed tends to decrease as the communication distance increases.
Use your wireless LAN device at a short
distance from the vehicle for better re-
sponse.
• When a microwave oven or ISM (indus-
trial, scientific and medical) equipment is being used, the communication speed and
range of wireless LAN devices may de- crease. Use your wireless LAN device
away from these appliances and equip-
ment.
• If a wireless LAN device and Bluetooth
(registered trademark of Bluetooth SIG, Inc.) are used simultaneously, the com-
munication speed and range of each de- vice may decrease. Use your wireless
LAN device away from Bluetooth devi- ces.
l Wireless LAN devices may not communi-
cate with the vehicle, or may not operate
normally or stably in the following environ- ment or situations. Check that the device cancommunicate with your vehicle before use.
• There is an obstruction such as a concrete
or metal wall between the vehicle and
wireless LAN device.
• The vehicle is surrounded by tall vehicles
in a parking lot.
• There are facilities nearby that emit strong
radio waves, such as a TV tower, trans-
former substation, broadcasting station or airport.NOTE• There is a communication device such as
a mobile phone or radio, or an electric de- vice such as a personal computer near thewireless LAN device.
• The wireless LAN device is in contact
with or covered by a metal object.
• The battery of the wireless LAN device
has run down.
l The
MITSUBISHI Remote Control cannot
be used under the following conditions:
• The wireless LAN device is turned off.
• The
MITSUBISHI Remote Control appli-
cation software is not installed.
• The
MITSUBISHI Remote Control appli-
cation software is not running.
• The wireless LAN device is not registered
on the vehicle or it is not connected to the
vehicle.
• The wireless LAN device is out of the
communication range.
• The wireless LAN device is connected to
other wireless LAN device.
• The wireless LAN device has failed, or its
battery has run out.
l Some charging facilities have a timer func-
tion that turns the power on or off at a spe- cific time of the day. When charging at a fa-cility with a timer function, make sure that
the charging timer is set within the time peri-
od when the power in the charging facility is on.

NOTElThe auxiliary battery is automatically and
periodically charged using electrical power
stored in the drive battery.
l While the remote climate control is operat-
ing or the charging, the cooling fan or air conditioner compressor may start operating and its sound may be heard. This is normal.
l The remote climate control operates in its
own mode based on the mode selected on
the wireless LAN device, regardless of the switch setting of the vehicle’s air condition-
er.
l Air conditioning performance may deterio-
rate or the remaining charge in the drive bat-tery may decrease under the following con-
ditions:
• In extremely hot weather.
• In hot sunshine.
• In extremely cold weather.
l If the remote climate control is started dur-
ing charging, the time until full charge may extend or the charging rate may decrease.
l When the remaining quantity of the drive
battery is decreased, the remote climate con-
trol does not operate or it may stop on the way.NOTEl When the auxiliary battery is removed, the
timer control of the MITSUBISHI Remote
Control is reset and each function of the MITSUBISHI Remote Control can not be
used. Also the drive battery can not be warmed up.
Communicate the wireless LAN device and
your vehicle again.

Keyless operation system
E00305601738
The keyless operation system allows you tolock and unlock the doors and tailgate andstart the engine simply by carrying the key-less operation key with you.
The keyless operation key can also be used as
the keyless entry system remote control
switch.
Refer to “Keyless entry system” on page 4-03.

The driver should always carry the keyless
operation key. This key is necessary for lock-
ing and unlocking the doors and tailgate,
starting the engine and otherwise operating the vehicle, so before locking and leaving the vehicle, be sure to check that you have the
keyless operation key.WARNINGl People with implantable cardiac pace-
makers or implantable cardiovascular-de-
fibrillators should not go near the exterior
transmitters (A) or the interior transmit- ters (B). The radio waves used by the key-
less operation system could adversely af- fect implantable cardiac pacemakers orimplantable cardiovascular-defibrillators.

WARNINGlWhen using electro-medical devices other
than implantable cardiac pacemakers or implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators,
contact the electromedical device manu- facturer ahead of time to determine theaffects of radio waves on the devices. Elec-
tromedical device operations could be ad-
versely effected by radio waves.
You can limit the possible operations of
the keyless operation system in the fol-
lowing ways. (The keyless operation system can be used as a keyless entry system.) Please consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point. • You can limit operations to locking
and unlocking the doors and tailgate.
• You can limit operations to starting
the engine.
• The keyless operation system can be
disabled.
When keyless operation system opera- tions are modified, the operating trans-mitters are as follows. • Only locking and unlocking doors or
tailgate: exterior transmitter and inte-
rior transmitters
• Only starting the engine: interior
transmitter
NOTEl The keyless operation key uses an ultra-
weak electromagnetic wave. In the following
cases, the keyless operation system may not
operate properly or may be unstable.
• When there is equipment nearby that
emits strong radio waves, such as: a pow-
er station, a radio/TV broadcasting station or an airport.
• The keyless operation system is carried
together with a communications device such as a cellular phone or radio set, or
with an electronic device such as a per- sonal computer.
• The keyless operation key is touching or
covered by a metal object.
• A keyless entry system is being used
nearby.
• When the keyless operation key battery is
worn out.
• When the keyless operation key is placed
in an area with strong radio waves or noise.
In such cases, use the emergency key.
Refer to “To operate without using the
keyless operation function” on page 4-14.NOTEl Because the keyless operation key receives
signals in order to communicate with the transmitters in the vehicle, the battery con-tinually wears down regardless of keylessoperation key use. The battery life is 1 to 3
years, depending on usage conditions. When the battery wears out, replace the battery ac-cording to the description in this manual or
have it replaced at your MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Refer to “Procedure for replacing the remote control switch battery” on page 4-05.
l Because the keyless operation key continual-
ly receives signals, strong radio wave recep-
tion could affect battery wear. Do not leave
the key near a TV, personal computer, or other electronic device.Operating range of the keyless
