To prevent vehicle theft, take your vehicle and the remaining F.A.S.T.-keys to a certified Mitsubishi EV dealer to have the ID codes reprogrammed.

Replacement F.A.S.T.-keys
Only the F.A.S.T.-keys that have been programmed into the vehicle’s electronics can be used to start the vehicle.
If you lose the F.A.S.T. key, you can order an F.A.S.T. key from your certified Mitsubishi EV dealer by referring to the key number.

DOORS

WARNING

• Always have the doors locked while driving. Along with the use of seat belts, this provides greater safety in the event of an accident by helping to prevent persons from being thrown from the vehicle. This also helps keep children and others from unintentionally opening the doors and will help keep out intruders.
• When closing a door, make sure that the door is fully closed and the door-ajar warning display goes out on the information screen on the multi-information display. If the door is ajar it could open while driving and cause an accident.
• Before opening any door, always look for and avoid oncoming traffic.
• To help avoid the risk of injury or death through the unintended operation of the vehicle and or its systems, including entrapment in windows or inadvertent door lock activation, do not leave children, people who require the assistance of others, or pets unattended in your vehicle. Additionally, the temperature inside a closed vehicle on a warm day can quickly become high enough to cause a significant risk of injury or death to people and pets.
