Installation of accessoriesEB24A-Ce
Before fitting any accessories, please con-
sult your authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
(1) The installation of accessories, optional
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 acces-
sories should be fitted to your vehicle.
(2) Improper installation of electrical parts
could cause fire, please refer to the
Modification/alterations to the electrical
or fuel systems section within this
owner’s handbook.
(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 “Specifications” section for
information regarding wheel and tyre
sizes on page 10–11.(5) Do not fail to read all relative instructions
before first putting into service and prior
to the attachment or installation of ac-
cessories, 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 MOTOR SALES Europe B.V.,
but also an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer,
to check whether the attachment or installa-
tion of such parts affects the driving safety of
your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.
Even when such parts are officially autho-
rized, for example by a “general operators
permit” (an appraisal for the part) or through
the execution of the part in an officially ap-
proved manner of construction, or when a
single operation permit following the attach-
ment or installation of such parts, it cannot be
deduced from that alone, that the driving
safety of your vehicle has not been affected.Consider also that there basically exists no
liability on the part of the appraiser or the offi-
cial. Only in the case of parts (MITSUBISHI
original replacement or exchange parts as
well as MITSUBISHI accessories) that are
recommended and released by an autho-
rized MITSUBISHI dealer and that are at-
tached or installed by an authorized MIT-
SUBISHI dealer can you assume, that
optimal safety has been provided. The same
also pertains to modifications of MIT-
SUBISHI vehicles with respect to the pro-
duction specifications. For your own safety,
in such cases as well, you should only un-
dertake modifications according to the rec-
ommendations of an authorized MIT-
SUBISHI dealer.
