Refer to “Keyless operation system: Keylessentry system” on page 3-21.
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.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.

NOTE•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.
l 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 a MITSUBISHI 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
operation system
E00305701797
If you are carrying the keyless operation key,
enter the operating range of the keyless oper-ation system, and press the driver’s or front

You can only lock and unlock the doors and tailgate, start the engine and change the oper-
ation mode if the ID codes of your keyless operation key and the vehicle match.
NOTEl If the keyless operation key battery is wear-
ing out or there are strong electromagnetic
waves or noise present, the operating range
may become smaller and operation may be-
come unstable.Operating range for locking
