Advanced automobile
manufacturing tech-
niques permit you to operate your new vehi- cle without requiring a long break-in periodof low-speed driving. However, you can add to the future perfor- mance and economy of your vehicle byobserving the following precautions during the first 300 miles (500 km). Drive your vehicle at m
oderate speeds during
the break-in period.  Avoid revving the engine.  Avoid rough driving such as sudden starts, sudden accelerati
on, prolonged high-
speed driving and sudden braking. These actions would have a detrimental effect onthe engine and lead to increased fuel and oil consumption; th
is could ultimately
result in the malfunction of engine com-ponents. Be particularly careful to avoid full acceleration while in low shift posi- tion (low gears). Do not overload the vehicle. Stay within the seating capacity. (Refer to “Cargo load precautions” on page 6-10.) Refrain from towing a trailer or other vehicle (Refer to “T
railer towing” on page
6-11).

The operations possible with the F.A.S.T.- key can be modified as stated below.(Keyless entry operations are possible.) For details, contact an
authorized Mitsubi-
shi Motors dealer.• Enabling only the locking and unlocking of the doors and the liftgate • Enabling only the starting of the engine• Deactivating the F.A.S.T.-key
N00503201177
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 or front passen- ger’s door lock/unlock switch, the liftgateLOCK switch or the liftgate OPEN switch, verification of the ID
code is performed.
The doors and the liftgate can be locked andunlocked and the engine
can be started only
when the ID codes of the vehicle and F.A.S.T.-key match.
The operating range is
within about 2.3 feet
(70 cm) of the handles of the driver’s door, front passenger door and liftgate.
NOTE
 The F.A.S.T.-key uses weak electromagnetic waves.In cases such as the following, operation may be improper or unstable. • The vehicle is near a facility that emits strong electromagnetic
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 theF.A.S.T.-key” on page 5-28.  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 3 years, depending on the usage conditions.  Since the F.A.S.T.-key is constantly perform- ing reception operati
ons, the reception of
strong electromagnetic
waves can accelerate
the running down of the ba
ttery. Do not place
near to electrical appliances such as televi-sions or computers.
