WARNINGlWhen using electro-medical devices other
than implantable cardiac pacemakers or implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators,
contact the electro-medical device manu- facturer ahead of time to determine theaffects of radio waves on the devices. Elec-
tro-medical device operations could be af- fected by radio waves.
You can limit the possible operations of the
keyless operation system. Please consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
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 lock/unlock without using
the keyless operation function” on page 3-11.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 2
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 a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
Refer to “Procedure for replacing the key battery” on page 3-05.
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
