ANTI-CORROSION/PERFORATION

It just makes sense: Our vehicles are different than any on the
road, so why shouldn’t our warranties be a cut above as well?
At Mitsubishi, we’re so confident in the quality, reliability and
durability of the Eclipse that we back it with one of the best
Powertrain Limited Warranties in the business: 10 years or
100,000 miles. It’s just one in a number of extensive warranties
that come with Eclipse – a list that includes a 5-year/60,000­mile fully transferable bumper-to-bumper New Vehicle Limited
Warranty, a 7-year/100,000-mile Anti-Corrosion/Perforation
Limited Warranty, and 5 years/unlimited miles Roadside
Assistance4. All aim at giving drivers the security of knowing their
Eclipse is engineered for the long-term. Bumper-to-bumper, mile­after-mile, we’ve got it covered.

Retailer price, terms and vehicle availability may vary. See your Mitsubishi retailer for details.

Airbags are part of a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). To decrease the risk of injury from
a deploying airbag, always wear your seatbelt, sit upright in the middle of the seat and do not
lean against the door. Always place children 12 and under in the rear seat and use appropriate
child restraints. Never place a rear facing infant restraint in the front seat. See your owner’s
manual and instructions provided with your child restraint for additional information.
