NOTElBecause 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, replace the battery ac-cording to the description in this manual or
have it replaced at your MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Refer to “Procedure for replacing the remote control switch battery” on page 4-06.
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

Safety mechanism
E00313200013
The safety mechanism is activated if the elec-
tric tailgate should trap a person or an object during automatic operation, or if the sensors
(A) on either side of the electric tailgate are hit. The warning buzzer sounds once for safe-ty and the electric tailgate automatically
moves in the direction opposite to the one in which it was operating.CAUTIONl The safety mechanism will sometimes not
operate depending on the condition of the
trapped object or how it is trapped. There- fore, be especially careful not to trap a hand,
part of your body or an object at this time.
l The safety mechanism is cancelled just be-
fore the electric tailgate is fully closed to al-
low it to close completely. Therefore be es-
pecially careful not to trap a hand or finger
at this time.CAUTIONl The safety mechanism is deactivated when
the electric tailgate is closed manually.
Therefore be especially careful not to trap a hand or finger at this time.
l If the safety mechanism is repeatedly operat-
ed, the tailgate could be switched to manual operation. Be careful at this time, as the
electric tailgate could open or close sudden-
ly, depending on its position.
Once the electric tailgate is completely open
or closed, normal automatic operation is
again possible.NOTEl If the environment or usage conditions sub-
ject the sensors to the same kind of force as
that of trapping a person or object, the safety mechanism could be activated.
l Do not damage the sensors when loading or
unloading luggage, or when cleaning therear window. Doing so could prevent the tailgate from closing automatically.
Drop prevention mechanism
After the electric tailgate is opened automati-
cally, if it is detected that the tailgate is drop- ping due to factors such as accumulated
snow, the electric tailgate is closed automati- cally.
A warning buzzer sounds continuously while
the drop prevention mechanism operates.
NOTEl If snow has accumulated on the electric tail-
gate, remove it before operation.
l Do not install accessories other than
MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE parts
on the electric tailgate. Some accessories could be too heavy, causing the drop preven-
tion mechanism to operate.
l The drop prevention mechanism could be
activated if manual operation is attempted immediately after the electric tailgate is
completely opened automatically.
Sudden operation prevention
mechanism
If the engine is started while the electric tail-
gate is operating automatically, it may switch to manual operation due to insufficient bat-
tery voltage, making the electric tailgate stop intermittently while it moves. This is to stop
the electric tailgate from operating suddenly. When the tailgate is completely closed or
opened, automatic operation is again possible
after approximately 10 seconds.
CAUTIONl The safety mechanism is deactivated while
the sudden operation prevention mechanism
is operating. Therefore be especially careful
not to trap a hand or finger at this time.
