The driver should always carry the keylessoperation key. This key is necessary for lock-
ing and unlocking the doors and tailgate,
starting the Plug-in Hybrid EV System 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 or
implantable 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 ad-
versely effected 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.) Please 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 Plug-in Hybrid EV System.
• The keyless operation system can be
disabled.
When keyless operation system opera- tions are modified, the operating trans-mitters are as follows. • Only locking and unlocking doors or
tailgate: exterior transmitter and inte-
rior transmitters.
• Only starting the Plug-in Hybrid EV
System: 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.
• 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 4-14.
Keyless operation system
4-07OGGE18E1Locking and unlocking4

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
operation system

You can lock and unlock the doors and tail-
gate and start the Plug-in Hybrid EV Systemonly 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
and unlocking the doors andtailgate

The system returns to the system preparation mode when the bonnet is closed.
l If the auxiliary battery terminals are discon-
nected while the system is in the system preparation mode, the memory will be erased.
l It is possible to register up to four remote
control switches for keyless operation sys-tem.
As long as they are registered, any of the re-
mote control switches, other than the one used to activate the system, can be used to
cancel the system.
If you want to register additional remote control switches, please contact aMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.NOTEl The activation distance for keyless entry sys-
tem is approximately 4 m.
If it is not possible to lock or unlock the ve- hicle by pressing the switch at the correct
distance or the security alarm system cannot be set or cancelled using the switch, the bat-
tery may need to be replaced.
Replace the battery at a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l If the UNLOCK switch on the remote con-
trol switch, or the driver’s or front passen- ger’s door lock/unlock switch is pressed and no door or the tailgate is opened within 30 seconds, the doors and the tailgate will auto-
matically relock. In this case as well, the
system preparation mode will go into effect.
l The time between pressing the UNLOCK
switch on the remote control switch, or thedriver’s or front passenger’s door lock/
unlock switch and automatic locking can be adjusted. Please consult a MITSUBISHI

6-24OGGE18E1Instruments and controls6

This lamp will also illuminate when the oper-
ation mode of the power switch is put in ON,
and goes off after the Plug-in Hybrid EV System has started. If it does not go off after
the Plug-in Hybrid EV System has started, we recommend you to have the vehicle
checked.CAUTIONl Prolonged driving with this lamp on may
cause further damage to the emission control system. It could also affect fuel economyand drivability.
l If the lamp does not illuminate when the op-
eration mode is put in ON, we recommend
you to have the system checked.
l If the lamp illuminates while the Plug-in Hy-
brid EV System is operating, avoid driving
at high speeds and have the system inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point as soon as possible.NOTEl The engine electronic control module ac-
commodating the onboard diagnostic system has various fault data (especially about the
exhaust emission) stored.
This data will be erased if a auxiliary battery
cable is disconnected which will make a rap- id diagnosis difficult. Do not disconnect a
auxiliary battery cable when the check engine
warning lamp is ON.
