WARNING
!●
We recommend any maintenance performed on or near the components of the SRS to be performed bya MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service

S components or wiring
could result in inadverten
t 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 co
mponents. 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 in
spected to ensure it is in
proper working order.
●
On vehicles with the side
airbags, do not modify
your front seats, centre pillar and centre console. It can adversely affect SR
S performance and lead to
possible injury.If you found any tear scratch, crack or damage to the seat fabric near the side airbag, the portion of the front and rear pillars and roof side rail, youshould have the SRS in
spected by a MITSUBISHI

er, use the brackets (A). The
brackets (A) are located under
each roof drip moulding (B).

used have a special shape.
For details, we recommend you to consult a MITSU- BISHI MOTORS Author

CAUTION
!●
Make sure that the weight of the luggage does not exceed the allowable roof load. If the allowable roof load is exceeded, this may cause damage to the vehicle.The roof load is the total allowable load on the roof (the weight of the roof ca
rrier plus the weight of lug-
gage placed on the roof carrier).For specific figures, plea
se refer to “Maximum roof
load” on page 9-7.
●
When luggage is loaded onto the vehicle, please make sure to drive slowly and avoid excessive manoeuvres such as sudden braking or quick turn- ing.In addition, place the lugg
age on the carrier so that
its weight is distributed evenly with the heaviest items on the bottom. Do not load items that arewider than the roof carrier. The additional weight on
the roof could raise the
vehicle’s centre of gravity
and affect vehicle han-
dling characteristics. As a result, driving errors or emergency manoeu- vres could lead to a loss of control and result in anaccident.
●
Before driving and after tr
avelling a short distance,
always check the load to make
sure it is securely fas-
tened to the roof carrier. Check periodically during
your travel that the load
remains secure.
