2008 MITSUBISHI COLT wiring

6 General information
Important points!
Due to large number of accessory and replacement parts of dif-
ferent manufactures available in the market, it is not possible,
not only for MITSUBISHI MOTO RS, but also a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Po int, to check whether the
attachment or installation of such parts affects the overall
safety of your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.
Even when such parts are offici ally authorized, for example by
a “general operators permit” (an appraisal for the part) or
through the execution of the part in an officially approved man-
ner of construction, or when a single operation permit follow-
ing the attachment or installatio n of such parts, it cannot be
deduced from that alone, that the driving safety of your vehi-
cles has not been affected.
Consider also that there basically exists no liability on the part
of the appraiser or the official. Only in case of parts
(MITSUBISHI MOTORS origin al replacement or exchange
parts as well as MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine accessories)
that are recommended and released by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Po int and that are attached or
installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point you can assume that optimal safety has been provided.
The same also pertains to modi fications of MITSUBISHI vehi-
cle with respect to the produc tion specifications. For your own
safety, in such cases, you should only undertake modifications
according to the recommen dations of a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

is important that any accessory that is to be fitted, or any modi-
fications carried out which invo lve the electrical or fuel sys-
tems, should be carried out in accordance with MITSUBISHI
MOTORS guidelines.
CAUTION!
● If the wiring interferes wi th any part of the vehicle
bodywork or improper installation methods are
used, i.e. protective fuses not installed, etc.), elec-
tronic devices may be ad versely affected, possibly
resulting in an electrical fire or other failures that
may cause an accident.

SRS servicingE00407900784NOTE●When you transfer ownership of the vehicle to some other
person, we urge you to alert the new owner that it is
equipped with the SRS and refer that owner to the applica-
ble section in this owner’s manual.
● If you junk or scrap the vehicle, we urge you to first take
the vehicle to a MITSUB ISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point so that the SRS can be rendered safe.
WARNING!
● We recommend any maintenance performed on or
near the components of the SRS to be performed by
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
Improper work on the SRS components or wiring
could result in inadvert ent deployment of the air
bags, or could render the SRS inoperative; either
situation could result in serious injury.
● Do not modify your steering wheel, seat belt retrac-
tor or any other SRS components. For example,
replacement of the steering wheel, or modifications
to the front bumper or body structure can adversely
affect SRS performance and lead to possible injury.
● If your vehicle has receive d any damage, we recom-
mend you to have the SRS in spected to ensure it is in
proper working order.
● On vehicles with the side air bags, do not modify
your front seats, centre pillar and centre console.
It can adversely affect SRS performance and lead to
possible injury.
Also, if you have found any tear or open seam in the
seat fabric at the portion near the side air bag, we
recommend you to have the seat inspected.
●On vehicles with the curt ain air bags, if you have
found any scratch, crack or damage to the portion of
the front and rear pillars and roof side rail, we rec-
ommend you to have the SRS inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Auth orized Service Point.

3. Referring to the fuse load capacity table, check the appro-
priate fuse for the problem.
NOTE● If any system does not function but the fuse corresponding
to that system is normal, th ere may be a fault elsewhere in
the system. We recommend that you have your vehicle
checked. 4. Insert a new fuse of the same capacity by using the fuse
puller and insert the fuse at the same place in the fuse
block.
A- Fuse is OK
B- Blown fuse
CAUTION!
● If the newly inserted fuse blows again after a short
time, we recommend that yo u have the electrical sys-
tem checked to find th e cause and rectify it.
●Never use a fuse with a capacity larger than that
specified or any substitute, such as wire, foil, etc.;
doing so will caus e the circuit wiring to heat up and
could cause a fire.
