FAST Key Entry System

Mitsubishi Motors designs cars with drivers in mind, such as their revolutionary FAST Key Entry System. This system, when paired with the push-to-start technology, allows you to start your car without needing to turn on your ignition or search for your keys. It's just one of many convenience features that make driving in a Mitsubishi SUV in North Huntingdon and Pittsburgh so much more enjoyable.

The acronym FAST stands for Free-Hand Advanced Security Transmitter, which is essentially how it works. The key fob emits radio signals that are spotted by your car when they are within a certain distance from the receiver in your car. This is what opens your doors and activates your courtesy lights, as well being, if it paired with push-to-start that it will start the engine.

The onboard computer in your vehicle will interpret the signal after the key fob has been within a certain range of the receiver to determine whether it's authenticated or not. The system then decides what degree of control or access the transmitter has. This can include unlocking doors, launching the car engine or removing the alarm systems.

As a result, you need to have the correct key fob that's configured to your vehicle and properly programmed to use these convenient functions. The method of programming a key fob differs from car manufacturer to car manufacturer. The general procedure involves putting the car into a special programming mode by pressing one or more buttons repeatedly while holding another button on the fob. Once the onboard computer accepts the fob's digital identity code it is removed from programming mode and is able to use.
