2008 MITSUBISHI GRANDIS wiring

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.

SRS servicing
E00407900726
NOTE●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 MITSUBISHI 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 inadvertent 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 received any damage, we recom-
mend you to have the SRS inspected to ensure it is in
proper working order.●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.●If you have found any scratch, crack or damage to
the portion of the front and rear pillars and roof side
rail, you should have the SRS inspected by a MIT-
SUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

Connect one end of one jumper cable to the positive (+)
terminal of the discharged battery (A), and the other end
to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery (B).
5. Connect one end of the other jumper cable to the negative
(–) terminal of the booster battery, and the other end to the
engine block of the vehicle with the discharged battery at
the point farthest from the battery.
NOTE●Open the cover before connecting the jumper cable to the
positive (+) terminal of the battery.
(Refer to “Battery” on page 8-16.)
WARNING
!●Be sure to observe the connecting sequence of
→ → → .●Make sure that the connection is made to the
appointed position (shown in the illustration). If the
connection is made directly to the negative side of
the battery, the inflammable gases generated from
the battery might catch fire and explode.●When connecting the jumper cable, do not connect
the positive (+) cable to the negative (–) terminal.
Otherwise sparks might cause explosion of the bat-
tery.
CAUTION
!●Use care not to get the jumper cable caught in the
cooling fan or other rotating part in the engine com-
partment.●Use care not to pinch the wiring harness with the
clamps when connecting the jumper cables.●Use the proper cables suitable for the battery size.
Otherwise heat damage to the cables could result.●Check the jumper cables for damage and corrosion
before use.

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.
Replacement of lamp bulbs
E01003100622
Before replacing a bulb, ensure the lamp is off. Do not touch
the glass part of the new bulb with your bare fingers; the skin
oil left on the glass will evaporate when the bulb gets hot and
the vapor will condense on the reflector and dim the surface.NOTE●If you are unsure of how to carry out the work as required,
we recommend you to consult a specialist.
●Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body when removing
a lamp and lens.
●When it rains, or when the vehicle has been washed, the
inside of the lens sometimes becomes foggy. This is the
same phenomenon as when window glass mists up on a
humid day, and does not indicate a functional problem.
When the lamp is switched on, the heat will remove the
fog. However, if water gathers inside the lamp, we recom-
mend you to have it checked.
CAUTION
!●If the newly inserted fuse blows again after a short
time, we recommend you to have the electrical sys-
tem checked to find the 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 cause the circuit wiring to heat up and
could cause a fire.
CAUTION
!●Bulbs are extremely hot immediately after being
turned off.
When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool sufficiently
before touching it. You could otherwise be burnt.
