GENERAL INFORMATION

Installation of accessories

EB24A-E

Before fitting any accessories, please con­sult your authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.

(1) The installation of accessories, op-

tional parts, etc., should only be car­ried out within the limits prescribed by
law in your country, and in accord­ance with the guidelines and warn­ings contained within the documents
accompanying this vehicle.
Only MITSUBISHI approved acces­sories should be fitted to your vehicle.

(2) Improper installation of electrical

parts could cause fire, please refer to
the Modification/Alteration to the elec­trical or fuel systems section within
this manual.

(3) When using a communication system

such as a cellular phone or a radio set
inside the vehicle, a separate external
antenna must be fitted. When a
cellular phone or a radio set is used
by using an internal antenna alone, it
may interfere with the vehicle’s elec­trical system and adversely affect
safe operation of the vehicle.

(4) Tyres and wheels which do not meet

specifications must not be used.
Refer to the “Specification” section for
information regarding wheel and tyre
sizes.

1-14

(5) Do not fail to read all relative instruc-

tions before first putting into service
the attachment or installation of
accessories, parts or other modifica­tions to the vehicle!

Important points!

Due to the large number of accessory and
replacement parts of different manufac­turers in the market, it is not possible, not
only for MITSUBISHI, but also for an au­thorized MITSUBISHI dealer, to check
whether the attachment or installation of
such parts affects the driving safety of
your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.

Even when such parts are officially au­thorized, for example by a general opera­tors “permit” (an appraisal for the part) or
through the execution of the part in an offi­cially approved manner of construction, or
when a single operation permit following
the attachment or installation of such
parts, it cannot be deduced from that
alone, that the driving safety of your vehi­cles has not been affected.

Consider also that there basically exists
no liability on the part of the appraiser
or the official. Only in the case of parts
(MITSUBISHI original replacement or ex­change parts as well as MITSUBISHI
accessories) that are recommended and
released by an authorized MITSUBISHI
dealer and that are attached or installed
by an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer can
you assume, that optimal safety has been
provided. The same also pertains to modi­fications of MITSUBISHI vehicles with re­spect to the production specifications. For
your own safety, in such cases as well,
you should only undertake modifications
according to the recommendations of an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Modification / alterations
to the electrical or fuel
systems

MITSUBISHI has always manufactured
safe, high quality vehicles. In order to
maintain this safety and quality, it is impor­tant that any accessory that is to be fitted,
or any modifications that are to be carried
out which involve the electric or fuel sys­tems, should be carried out in accordance
with MITSUBISHI guidelines.

EB11A-D

CAUTION

Please consult an authorized MIT­SUBISHI dealer concerning any
such fitment or modification.
If the wires interfere with the vehicle
body or if improper installation
methods are used (protective fuses
not included, etc.), electronic de­vices may be adversely affected, re­sulting in fire or an other accident.

Roof drip moulding*

When installing the roof rack, use the
brackets (A).
There are brackets (A) under roof drip
moulding (B).

NOTE
(1) Use a genuine MITSUBISHI roof car-

rier, since the brackets to be used are
of special shape. For details, consult
a nearby authorized MITSUBISHI
dealer.

(2) For the roof load, refer to page 10-6,

10-12, 10-19.

EB10A-Fb

Roof carrier precaution

EB10A-S

CAUTION

(1) Make sure that the weight of the

luggage does not exceed the al­lowable roof load.
If the allowable roof load is ex­ceeded, this may cause damage
to the vehicle.
The roof load is the total allow­able load on the roof (the weight
of the roof carrier plus the
weight of luggage placed on the
roof carrier).
For specific figures, please refer
to the “Maximum roof load” on
page 10-6, 10-12, 10-19.

1-15

GENERAL INFORMATION

CAUTION

(2) When luggage is loaded onto

the vehicle, please make sure to
drive slowly and avoid exces­sive manoeuvres such as sud­den braking or quick turning.
In addition, place the luggage on
the carrier so that its weight is
distributed evenly with the heav­iest items on the bottom. Do not
load items that are wider than
the roof carrier.
The additional weight on the
roof could heighten the vehi­cle’s centre of gravity and affect
the vehicle's handling charac­teristics.
As a result, driving errors or
emergency manoeuvres could
lead to loss of control and result
in an accident.

(3) Before driving and after travel-

ling a short distance, always
check the load to make sure it is
securely fastened to the roof
carrier. Check periodically dur­ing your travel that the load re­mains secure. If the load is not
secure, it could fall from the ve­hicle and damage your vehicle,
another vehicle or create road
hazard.

NOTE
(1) To prevent wind noise or reduction in

gas mileage, remove the roof carrier
when not in use.

(2) Before using an automatic car wash,

check with the attendant to determine
if the roof carrier should be removed.

Genuine parts

Don’t play around with substitutes.
MITSUBISHI has gone to great lengths to
bring you a superbly crafted vehicle offer­ing the highest quality and dependability.
Don’t reduce that quality and dependability
by using substitute parts.
Always use MITSUBISHI Genuine Parts
designed and manufactured to maintain
your MITSUBISHI vehicle at top perform­ance. The operation of vehicle compo­nents can be less efficient in case of using
Non-Genuine Parts.
Failure to use Genuine Parts, may in­validate any future warranty claim.
MITSUBISHI will not be liable for any mal­function of your vehicle that may have
been caused by the use of substitute parts
in place of MITSUBISHI Genuine Parts.
At the MITSUBISHI dealer you can also
get appropriate advise and the assem­bling of Genuine Parts will be handled pro­fessionally.
MITSUBISHI Genuine Parts are identified
by this mark, and are available at all au­thorized MITSUBISHI dealers.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Used engine oils safety
instructions

EB12A-A

WARNING

(1) Prolonged and repeated contact

may cause serious skin disor­ders, including dermatitis and
cancer.

(2) Avoid contact with the skin as

far as possible and wash thor­oughly after any contact.

(3) Keep out of reach of children.

Protect the environment

It is illegal to pollute drains, water courses
and soil. Use authorized waste collection
facilities, including civic amenity sites and
garages providing facilities for disposal of
used oil and used oil filters. If in doubt,
contact your local authority for advice on
disposal.

Driving and alcohol

Driving under the influence of alcohol is
one of the most frequent causes of acci­dents.
Your driving ability can even be seriously
impaired with blood alcohol levels below
the legal minimum. If you are drinking,
don’t drive. Ride with a designated non­drinking driver, call a cab, a friend, or use
public transportation.

EB25A-Aa

WARNING

Driving after drinking can lead to an
accident. Your perceptions are less
sharp, your reflexes are slower, and
your judgement is impaired when
you have been drinking.
NEVER DRINK AND THEN DRIVE.

Safe driving techniques

EB26A-Cb

Driving safety and protection against in­jury cannot be fully ensured. However, we
recommend that you pay extra attention to
the following:

(1) Before starting the vehicle, make sure

that you and your passengers have
fastened your seat belts.

(2) Never leave your vehicle unattended

with the key in the ignition and
children inside the vehicle. Children
may play with the driving controls and
this could lead to an accident.

(3) Make sure that infants and small chil-

dren are properly restrained in accor­dance with the laws and regulations,
and for maximum protection in case
of an accident.

1-17

GENERAL INFORMATION

(4) Switch off the engine if you stop for a

short sleep. If the engine is left run­ning while you sleep, unexpected ve­hicle operation or other accidents
may be caused by unconsciously
moving the shift lever (selector lever
on automatic transmission vehicles)
or pressing the accelerator pedal. If
you inadvertently keep the accelera­tor pedal pressed, the engine may
overheat or the engine, exhaust pipe,
etc. may be abnormally overheated,
resulting in an accidental fire. If poorly
ventilated, there is a risk of poisoning
by exhaust gases.

NOTE
(1) The key number is stamped on the

tag as indicated in the illustration.
Make a record of the key number and
store the key and key number tag
in separate places, so that you can
order a key from your authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer in the event the
original keys are lost.

(2) If your vehicle is equipped with an

electronic immobilizer, the engine is
designed so that it will not start if the
ID code registered in the immobilizer
computer and the key’s ID code do
not match. Refer to the section en­titled “Electronic Immobilizer” for
details and key usage.

(3) Keys should never be placed in areas

which contain magnetic or metal ob­jects as this may interfere with the
transponder.

Electronic immobilizer
(Anti-theft starting system)*

EF11CPD

The electronic immobilizer is designed to
reduce significantly the possibility of vehi­cle theft. The purpose of the system is to
immobilize the vehicle if an invalid start is
attempted. A valid start attempt can only
be achieved (subject to certain condi­tions), using a key “registered” to the im­mobilizer system.

LOCKING AND UNLOCKING

NOTE

(1) In the following cases the vehicle may

not be able to receive the registered
ID code from the key. This means the
engine will not start even when the
registered key is turned to the
“START” position:

• When the key contacts a key ring or
other metallic or magnetic object
(Type A)

• When the key grip contacts metal of
another key (Type B)

• When the key contacts another im­mobilizing key, or some other
transponder (Type C)

In cases like these, remove the above
object from the key and turn the key
back to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position.
Then try again to start the engine.
If the engine does not start, consult an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.

(2)

Be careful not to damage the key with a
cutter etc. since there is a transponder
inside the key

.

(3) If you lose your keys, order a key from

your authorized MITSUBISHI dealer
as soon as possible.
To obtain a key, take your vehicle and
any remaining key to your authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer.
If you need an extra spare key, take
your vehicle and ALL the keys to your
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
All the keys have to be re-registered
in the immobilizer computer unit.
The immobilizer allows up to 8 differ­ent ID codes to be registered; you can
possess a maximum of 8 keys.

CAUTION

Do not make any alterations or addi­tions to the immobilizer system, al­terations or additions could cause
failure of the immobilizer.
