Mitsubishi Outlander: Operating range of the keyless operation system
If you are carrying the keyless operation key, enter the operating range of the keyless operation system, and press the driver’s or front passenger’s door lock/unlock switch, the tailgate LOCK switch or the tailgate OPEN switch, the ID code for your key is verified.
You can only lock and unlock the doors and tailgate, start the engine and change the operation mode if the ID codes of your keyless operation key and the vehicle match.
NOTE
• If the keyless operation key battery is wearing out or there are strong electromagnetic waves or noise present, the operating range may become smaller and operation may become unstable.
Operating range for locking and unlocking the doors and tailgate
The operating range is approximately 70 cm from the driver’s and front passenger’s door lock/unlock switches, the tailgate LOCK switch and the tailgate OPEN switch.
NOTE
• Locking and unlocking are only possible when the door or tailgate is operated
while the keyless operation key is being detected.
• Operation may not be possible if you are too close to the front door, door
window, or tailgate.
• Even if the keyless operation key is within 70 cm of the driver’s or front
passenger’s door lock/unlock switch, the tailgate LOCK switch or the tailgate OPEN
switch, if the key is near to the ground or high up, the system may not operate.
• If the keyless operation key is within the operating range, even someone not
carrying the key can lock and unlock the doors and tailgate by pressing the driver’s
or front passenger’s door lock/unlock switch, the tailgate LOCK switch or the tailgate
OPEN switch.
Operating range for starting the engine and changing the operation mode
The operating range is the interior of the vehicle.
NOTE
• Even if it is within the operating range, if the keyless operation key is in a small item holder such as the glove box, on top of the instrument panel, door pocket or in the luggage area, it may be impossible to start the engine and change the operation mode.
• If you are too close to the door or door window, the engine may start even though the keyless operation key is outside the vehicle.
