the electric or fuel systems
EB11A-D
MITSUBISHI has always manufactured
safe, high quality vehicles. In order to main-
tain this safety and quality, it is important
that any accessory that is to be fitted, or
any modifications carried out which involve
the electric or fuel systems, should be car-
ried out in accordance with MITSUBISHI
guidelines.
CAUTION
Please consult an authorized MIT-
SUBISHI dealer concerning any such
fitment or modification.
If the wires interfere with the vehicle
body or improper installation meth-
ods are used (protective fuses not
included, etc.), electronic devices
may be adversely affected, result-
ing in a fire or other accident.

Roof carrier precaution
EB10A-R
CAUTION
(1) Make sure that the weight of the

If the allowable roof load is
exceeded, this may cause dam-
age to the vehicle.
The roof load is the total allow-
able 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
