2008 MITSUBISHI GRANDIS ECU

6 General informationImportant points!Due to the large number of accessory and replacement parts of
different manufactures available in the market, it is not possi-
ble, not only for MITSUBISHI MOTORS, but also a MIT-
SUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point, 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 man-
ner of construction, or when a single operation permit follow-
ing the attachment or installation 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 the case of parts (MIT-
SUBISHI MOTORS original replacement or exchange parts as
well as MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine accessories) that are
recommended and released by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorised Service Point and that are attached or installed by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point 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 a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Modification/alterations to the electrical or
fuel systems
E00200400238
MITSUBISHI MOTORS 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 modi-
fications carried out which involve the electrical or fuel sys-
tems, should be carried out in accordance with MITSUBISHI
MOTORS guidelines.
CAUTION
!●If the wiring interferes with any part of the vehicle
body work or improper installation methods are
used, i.e. protective fuses not installed, etc., elec-
tronic devices may be adversely affected, possibly
resulting in an electrical fire or other failures that
may cause an accident.
