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.
