The  keyless  operation  system  allows  you  tolock  and  unlock  the  doors  and  tailgate,  start
the  engine  and  change  the  operation  mode simply  by  carrying  the  keyless  operation  key
with you.
The keyless operation key can also be used as the  keyless  entry  system  remote  control
switch.
Refer  to  “Keyless  operation  system:  Keyless entry system” on page 3-22.
 
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.WARNINGl When  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  af- fected 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.)  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 transmitters oper- ate as follows. • Only  locking  and  unlocking  doors  or
tailgate:  exterior  and  interior  transmit- ters.
• Only  starting  the  engine:  interior
transmitter.

NOTElThe  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 3-21.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,  please  consult  aMITSUBISHI  MOTORS   Authorized  Serv-
ice Point.
If  you  replace  the  battery  yourself,  refer  to “Procedure  for  replacing  the  remote  control
switch battery” on page 3-24.
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

ing  out  or  there  are  strong  electromagnetic
waves  or  noise  present,  the  operating  range
may  become  smaller  and  operation  may  be-
