Installation of accessoriesE00200300875
We  recommend  you  to  consult  your  MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l The  installation  of  accessories,  optional
parts,  should  only  be  carried  out  within  the
limits prescribed by law in your country, and
in  accordance  with  the  guidelines  fitting  in-
structions  and  warnings  contained  within  the
documents  accompanying  the  parts  or  acces-
sories.
l Improper  installation  of  electrical  compo-
nents may cause an electrical fire if incorrect-
ly  fitted.  Please  refer  to  the  Modification/al-
teration  to  the  electrical  or  fuel  systems  sec-
tion within this owner’s manual.
l Using a cellular phone or radio set inside the
vehicle  without  an  external  antenna  may
cause  electrical  system  interference,  which
could lead to unsafe vehicle operation.
l Tyres and wheels which do not meet specifi-
cations must not be used.
Refer  to  the  “Specifications”  section  for  in-
formation regarding wheel and tyre sizes.
l When  fitting  accessories,  ensure  that  maxi-
mum  gross  vehicle  weight  and  maximum
axle weight are not exceeded.
Important points!
Due  to  large  number  of  accessory  and  replacement
parts of different manufactures available in the mar-
ket,  it  is  not  possible,  not  only  for  MITSUBISHI
MOTORS ,  but  also  for  a  MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized  Service  Point,  to  check  whether  the  at-
tachment  or  installation  of  such  parts  affects  the
overall safety of your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.
 Even  when  such  parts  are  officially  authorized,  for
example  by  a  “general  operators  permit”  (an  ap-
praisal for the part) or through the execution of the
part  in  an  officially  approved  manner  of  construc-
tion,  or  when  a  single  operation  permit  following
the  attachment  or  installation  of  such  parts,  it  can-
not be deduced from that alone, that the driving safe-
ty of your vehicle 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 ( MITSUBISHI MOTORS original
replacement  or  exchange  parts  as  well  as
MITSUBISHI  MOTORS   genuine  accessories)  that
are  recommended  and  released  by  a  MITSUBISHI
MOTORS  Authorized Service Point and that are at-
tached  or  installed  by  a  MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized  Service  Point  can  you  assume,  that  op-
timal safety has been provided. The same also per-
tains  to  modifications  of  MITSUBISHI  vehicle
with  respect  to  the  production  specifications.  For
your own safety, in such cases, you should only un-
dertake  modifications  according  to  the  recommen-
dations  of  a  MITSUBISHI  MOTORS   Authorized
Service Point.Modification/alterations to the
electrical or fuel systems E00200400238
MITSUBISHI  MOTORS  CORPORATION   has  al-
ways  manufactured  safe,  high  quality  vehicles.  In
order to maintain this safety and quality, it is impor-
tant  that  any  accessory  that  is  to  be  fitted,  or  any
modifications carried out which involve the electri-
cal or fuel systems, should be carried out in accord-
ance with MITSUBISHI guidelines.CAUTIONl If  the  wiring  interferes  with  any  part  of
the  vehicle  bodywork  or  improper  instal-
lation  methods  are  used,  i.e.  protective
fuses  not  installed,  etc.),  electronic  devi-
ces may be adversely affected, possibly re-
sulting  in  an  electrical  fire  or  other  fail-
ures that may cause an accident.

WARNINGlDo  not  attach  a  microphone  (A)  or  any
other  device  or  object  around  the  part
where  the  curtain  airbags  (B)  activate
such  as  on  the  windscreen,  side  door
glass,  front  and  rear  pillars  and  roof  side
or  assist  grips.  When  the  curtain  airbags
inflate, the microphone or other device or
object  will  be  hurled  with  great  force  or
the  curtain  airbags  may  not  activate  cor-
rectly, resulting in death or serious injury.WARNINGl Do not put a hanger or any heavy or poin-
ted object on the coat hook.
If  the  curtain  airbag  was  activated,  any
such  item  could  be  propelled  away  with
great force and could prevent the curtain
airbag  from  inflating  correctly.  Hang
clothes directly on the coat hook (without
using a hanger).
Make sure there are no heavy or sharp ob-
jects  in  the  pockets  of  clothes  that  you
hang on the coat hook.
l Do  not  allow  a  child  to  lean  against  or
close  to  the  front  door  even  if  the  child  is
seated in a child restraint system.
The  child’s  head  should  also  not  be
leaned  against  or  be  close  to  the  area  of
the  seat  where  the  side  airbag  and  cur-
tain  airbag  are  located.  It  is  dangerous  if
the side airbag and curtain airbag inflate.
Failure  to  follow  all  of  these  instructions
could lead to serious or fatal injury to the
child.
l We  recommend  work  around  and  on  the
side  airbags  and  curtain  airbags  system
to  be  done  by  MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized  Service  Point.  Improper
work  could  result  in  inadvertent  deploy-
ment  of  a  side  airbags  and  curtain  air-
bags,  or  could  render  a  side  airbags  and
curtain  airbags  inoperative;  either  situa-
tion could result in serious injury.SRS warning lamp E00407801201
There  is  a  Supplemental  Restraint  System  (“SRS”)
warning  lamp  on  the  instrument  panel.  The  system
checks itself and the lamp tells you if there is a prob-
lem.  When  the  ignition  switch  is  turned  to  the
“ON”  or  “START”  position,  the  warning  lamp
should  illuminate  for  several  seconds  and  then
should  go  out.  This  means  the  system  is  ready.  If
an SRS airbag or pretensioner seat belt is not oper-
ating  properly,  the  warning  lamp  comes  on  and
stays on.
The SRS warning lamp is shared by the SRS airbag
and the seat belt pretensioner system.WARNINGl If  any  of  the  following  conditions  occur,
the  SRS  and/or  seat  belt  pretensioners
are not working properly, and we recom-
mend  you  to  have  it  inspected  by  a
MITSUBISHI  MOTORS   Authorized
Service Point immediately.

small  storage  compartment  may  weaken  the
phone’s  reception.  This  does  not  indicate  a
fault with the system.
l Use  of  wireless  devices  such  as  transceivers
or  a  cellular  phone  near  the  monitor  may
make the following condition on the display.
This does not indicate a fault with the system. • The screen goes dark temporarily.

l To listen to the audio system while the engine is stopped, turn the ignition key to the “ACC” position.
l If  a  cellular  phone  is  used  inside  the  vehicle,  it  may  create  noise  from  the  audio  equipment.  This  does  not  mean  that  anything  is  wrong  with  your  audio
equipment. In such a case, use the cellular phone at a place as far away as possible from the audio equipment.
l If  foreign  objects  or  water  get  into  the  audio  equipment,  or  if  smoke  or  a  strange  odour  comes  from  it,  immediately  turn  off  the  audio  system.  We  recom-
mend your to have it checked. Never try to repair it by yourself. Avoid continuous usage without inspection by a qualified person.
l The audio system’s control knob can be removed to deter thieves. For details, refer to “Audio system anti-theft feature” on page 5-32.
l The audio amplifier (if so equipped) is located under the front right seat.
Do not subject the amplifier to a strong impact.
It could damage the amplifier or malfunctioning could result.

tor  (12)  shown  on  the  display)  at  all  times  unless
you manually switch it off.

casting regional programs.
Regional  programming  and  regional  networks  are
organized  differently  depending  on  the  country  or
area  (they  may  be  changed  according  to  the  hour,
state, or broadcast area), so if you don’t want to re-
ceive the regional programs automatically, you can
set up REG ON not to receive regional programs.

PI (Program Identification) search function E00721200188

set  station  is  weak,  the  radio  searches  another  fre-
quency  broadcasting  the  same  programming  with
the same PI code in AF list.
If  there  are  no  frequencies  broadcasting  the  same
programming, the radio searches a frequency broad-
casting  the  regional  programming.  The  radio  suc-
ceeds  in  searching  the  regional  programming,  then
the display shows the REG indicator (11).
If  the  radio  does  not  succeed  in  searching  the  re-
gional  programming,  the  radio  returns  to  the  recal-
led preset station.PTY (Program Type) E00721300293
