2- Emergency key3- Key number plate
NOTE
 The keyless entry key and F.A.S.T.-key are a precision electr
onic device wi
th a built-in
signal transmitter. Please observe the follow- ing in order to prevent damage. • Do not leave where it may be exposed to heat caused by direct sunlight, such as on top of the dashboard. • Do not take the remote
control transmitter
apart. • Do not excessively bend the key or subject it to strong impacts. • Keep the remote control transmitter dry. • Keep away from magne
tic objects such as
key rings.
• Keep away from devi
ces that produce mag-
netism, such as audio systems, computersand televisions. • Keep away from device
s that emit strong
electromagnetic waves, such as cellularphones, wireless devices and high fre- quency equipment (i
ncluding medical
devices). • Do not clean with ultrasonic cleaners. • Do not leave the key where it may be exposed to high temperature or high humid- ity.
 If you lose your key, to prevent the theft of the vehicle immediatel
y contact an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. If you notify an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer of the key number, they canmake a new key. The key number is stamped on the key number plate. Keep the key num- ber plate in a safe pl
ace separate from the
key itself.  No keys other than those registered in advance can be used to start the engine. Refer to “Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting system)” on page 5-3.Refer to “Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key): “Electronic immobilizer (Anti-thef
t starting system)” on
page 5-20.NOTE
 When the theft-alarm is in the system opera- tional status, the alarm operates if a door orliftgate is opened after using the key, thedoor lock knob or the power door lock switch to unlock the vehicle.  The system does not enter the preparation status if the keyless entry system or the F.A.S.T.-key was not used to lock the vehi-cle.

attempted. A valid st
art attempt can only be
achieved (subject to ce
rtain conditions) using
a key “registered” to the immobilizer system. All of the keys provided with your new vehi- cle have been program
med to the vehicle’s
electronics.
Only keys that have been programmed to the vehicle’s electronics can be used to start thevehicle. If you lose the key, you can order a key from your authorized Mitsubi
shi Motors dealer by
referring to the key number.To prevent vehicle theft, the ID code for the vehicle keys must be changed. Take your vehicle and all remaining keys toyour authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to have your ID code changed.
NOTE
 In the following cases, the vehicle may not be able to recognize
the registered ID code
from the key. This mean
s the engine will not
start even when the key is turned to the “START” position. • When the key contacts a key ring or other metallic or magnet
ic object (Type A)
• When the key grip contacts metal of another key (Type B) • When the key contacts
or is close to other
immobilizer keys (inc
luding keys of other
vehicles) (Type C)
 In cases like the above, move the offending object(s) away from the key and turn the key back to the “ACC” or
“OFF” position. Then
try to start the engine again. If the enginedoes not start, cont
act an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
NOTE
 The key may not operate
properly when it is
near an object or facility that emits strong electromagnetic waves.  Electronic immobilizer is not compatible with commercially available remote startingsystems. Use of commercially available remote starting systems may result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security pro-tection.
 A system failure is suspected when the igni- tion switch is turned to the “START” posi-tion, and the engine does
not start. In such a
case, contact an au
thorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.CAUTION Do not make any altera
tions or additions to
the immobilizer system.
Alterations or addi-
tions could cause failure of the immobilizer.

The Free-hand Advanced Security Transmit-ter (F.A.S.T.-key) enables the doors and theliftgate 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 transmitter of the keyless entry system.Refer to “Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-
key): Keyless entry
system” on page 5-21.

NOTE
 You may purchase a replacement battery at an electric appliance store.  An authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer can replace the battery for you if you prefer.CAUTION When the remote control transmitter case is opened, be careful to
keep water, dust, etc.
out. Also, do not touch the internal compo-nents.
Free-hand Advanced Secu- rity Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key)
(if so equipped)
The F.A.S.T.-key must be carried by the driver. The F.A.S.T.-key is required for vehicle operations su
ch as locking and
unlocking the doors and the liftgate,starting the engine, and changing the operation mode. When
leaving the vehi-
cle, make sure you are carrying theF.A.S.T.-key and then lock the vehicle.
WA R N I N G Individuals who use
implantable pace-
makers or implanta
ble cardiovascular-
defibrillators
should keep away from the
external and internal
transmitters. The
electromagnetic waves used in the F.A.S.T.-key may affect the operation of implantable pacemakers and implantablecardiovascular-defibrillators.

When a person enters the operating range ofthe F.A.S.T.-key while carrying the F.A.S.T.- key and presses the driver’s door lock/unlock switch the liftgate switch, verification of theID 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. - k e y m a t c h .
A- External transmitter B- Internal transmitterWA R N I N G Individuals using ot
her electro-medical
apparatus besides implantable pacemak- ers and implantable
cardiovascular-defi-
brillators should check with themanufacturer of the apparatus to confirm the effect of the electromagnetic waves used by the F.A.S.T.-key. The electromag-netic waves may affect
the operations 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 imprope
r or unstable.
• The vehicle is near a facility that emits strong electroma
gnetic waves, such as a TV
transmitting tower, a pow
er station, a radio
station or an airport • The key is carried together with other com- munication 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 circum- stances.Refer to “To operate
without using the
F.A.S.T.-key” on page 5-19.  The F.A.S.T.-key is constantly performing reception operations
in its communication
with the vehicle. This means that the battery is always running down, regardless of howoften the F.A.S.T.-key is used. The battery life is about 1 to 2 years, depending on the usage conditions.  Since the F.A.S.T.-key is constantly perform- ing reception operati
ons, the reception of
strong electrom
agnetic waves
can accelerate
the running down of the
battery. Do not place
near to electrical appliances such as televi-sions or computers.

NOTE
 Your vehicle is equippe
d with an electronic
immobilizer. To start the engine, the ID codewhich the F.A.S.T.-key sends must match theone registered to the immobilizer computer. (Refer to “Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting system)” on page 5-20)
Changing the operation mode

CAUTION When the engine is not running, put the oper- ation mode in OFF. Leaving the operationmode in ON or ACC for a long time whenthe engine is not r
unning may cause the bat-
tery to be discharged, making it impossible to start the engine.  When the battery is disconnected, the current operation mode is memorized. After recon-necting the battery, the memorized mode is selected auto
matically. Before disconnect-
ing the battery for repair or replacement,make sure to put the
operation mode in OFF.
Be careful if you are not sure which opera- tion 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 “Oper-
ating range for starting the engine andchanging the operation mode” on page 5-11.
