(Keyless entry operations are possible.)
For details, contact a certified Mitsubishi
EV dealer.
• Enabling only the locking and unlocking
of the doors and the liftgate
• Enabling only the starting of the Plug-in
Hybrid EV System
• Deactivating the F.A.S.T.-key
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 power 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
Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key)
NOTE
Use the emergency key to lock and unlock
the driver's door in such circumstances.
Refer to "To operate without using the
F.A.S.T.-key" on page 5-15.
If you want to start the Plug-in Hybrid EV
System or change the operation mode, insert
the F.A.S.T.-key into the key slot in the
instrument panel.
Refer to "If the F.A.S.T.-key is not operating
properly" on page 5-15.
 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 how
often the F.A.S.T.-key is used. The battery
life is approximately 1 to 3 years, depending
on the usage conditions.
 Since the F.A.S.T.-key is constantly perform-
ing reception operations, the reception of
strong electromagnetic waves can accelerate
the running down of the battery. Do not place
near to electrical appliances such as televi-
sions or computers.
Operating range of the
F.A.S.T.-key
When a person enters the operating range of
the 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 liftgate
LOCK switch or the liftgate OPEN switch,
verification of the ID code is performed.
The doors and the liftgate can be locked and
unlocked and the Plug-in Hybrid EV System
can be started only when the ID codes of the
vehicle and F.A.S.T.-key match.
NOTE
 When the battery of the F.A.S.T.-key has run
down or there are strong electromagnetic
waves or noise in the area, the operating
range could decrease or operations could
become unstable.
