FAST Key Entry System

Mitsubishi Motors designs cars with drivers in mind, including their unique FAST Key Entry System. This system, when coupled with the available push-to start technology, lets you begin your car without having to open your ignition or search for your keys. It's just one of many convenience features that make driving the Mitsubishi SUV in North Huntingdon and Pittsburgh so much more enjoyable.

FAST is an acronym for Free-Hand Advanced Security Transmitter. This pretty much explains the way it works. The key fob emits a radio signal which is recognized by the vehicle when it is within a certain distance of the receiver built into your vehicle. This is what unlocks your doors and activates your lights for courtesy, as well when it in conjunction with push-to start, starts the engine.

The onboard computer inside your vehicle will interpret the signal after the key fob is within a certain range of the receiver to determine whether it is authenticated or not. Then, the system determines the level of access or control the transmitter can be granted. This could be as simple as unlocking doors, launching the car's engine or removing the alarm systems.

As a result, you need to have the correct key fob that's configured to work with your vehicle and properly programmed to take advantage of these useful functions. The process of programming a key fob is different from car manufacturer to car manufacturer. The process generally involves putting the car in a mode for programming by pressing one or more of its buttons several times while holding a different button on the fob. When the car's onboard computer has accepted the digital identity code of the fob the car is put out of programming mode.
