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, please consult aMITSUBISHI 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.

ly receives signals, strong radio wave recep-
tion could affect battery wear. Do not leave the key near a TV, personal computer, or
