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.
General information

WARNING•The  SRS  warning  lamp  does  not  illu-
minate when you start the vehicle.
• The  SRS  warning  lamp  does  not  go
out after several seconds.
• The  SRS  warning  lamp  illuminates
while driving.SRS servicing E00407901244WARNINGlWe  recommend  any  maintenance  per-
formed  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  de-
ployment  of  the  airbags,  or  could  render
the  SRS  inoperative;  either  situation
could result in serious injury.
l Do  not  modify  your  steering  wheel,  seat
belt  retractor  or  any  other  SRS  compo-
nents.  For  example,  replacement  of  the
steering  wheel,  or  modifications  to  the
front  bumper  or  body  structure  can  ad-
versely  affect  SRS  performance  and  lead
to possible injury.
l If your vehicle has sustained any damage,
we  recommend  you  to  have  the  SRS  in-
spected  to  ensure  it  is  in  proper  working
order.WARNINGl On  vehicles  equipped  with  side  airbags,
do not modify your front seats, centre pil-
lar 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  airbag,  we  recommend  you  to
have the seat inspected.
l On  vehicles  with  the  curtain  airbags,  if
you have found any scratch, crack or dam-
age to the portion of the front and rear pil-
lars  and  roof  side  rail,  we  recommend
you  to  have  the  SRS  inspected  by  a
MITSUBISHI  MOTORS   Authorized
Service Point.
NOTE
l 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  the  new  owner  to  the  applica-
ble section in this owner’s manual.
l 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.

4.Referring  to  the  fuse  load  capacity  table,
check the fuse pertaining to the problem.
C- Fuse is OK
D- Blown fuse
NOTE l If  any  system  does  not  function  but  the  fuse
corresponding to that system is normal, there
may  be  a  fault  in  the  system  elsewhere.  We
recommend you to have your vehicle checked.
5. Insert a new fuse of the same capacity by us-
ing  the  fuse  puller  into  the  same  place  at  the
fuse block.CAUTIONl If  the  newly  inserted  fuse  blows  again  af-
ter  a  short  time,  we  recommend  you  to
have the electrical system checked to find
the cause and rectify it.
l 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.Replacement of lamp bulbs E01003100710
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 evap-
orate  when  the  bulb  gets  hot  and  the  vapour  will
condense on the reflector and dim the surface.CAUTIONl Bulbs  are  extremely  hot  immediately  af-
ter being turned off.
When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool
sufficiently  before  touching  it.  You  could
otherwise be burnt.
NOTE
l If  you  are  unsure  of  how  to  carry  out  the
work as required, we recommend you to con-
sult a specialist.
l Be  careful  not  to  scratch  the  vehicle  body
when removing a lamp or lens.
l When  it  rains  or  when  the  vehicle  has  been
washed,  the  inside  of  the  lens  sometimes  be-
comes  foggy.  This  is  the  same  phenomenon
as  when  window  glass  mists  up  on  a  humid
day,  and  does  not  indicate  a  functional  prob-
lem.  When  the  lamp  is  switched  on,  the  heat
will remove the fog. However, if water gath-
ers  inside  the  lamp,  we  recommend  you  to
have the lamp checked.
Bulb capacity E01003200085
When  replacing  a  bulb,  use  a  new  bulb  with  the
same wattage and colour.
