If foreign objects or water get into the audio equipment, or
if smoke or a strange odor comes from it, immediately
turn off the audio system and have it checked at an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice. Never try to repair it yourself. Avoid using the
audio system until it is inspected by a qualified person.

If the audio system is damaged by foreign objects, water,
or fire, have the system checked by a qualified Mitsubishi
Motors technician.

If you open or close the electric convertible top while lis-
tening to music, an audible beep will sound and the audio
system’s sound equalization will change to settings that
are optimized for operation with the electric convertible
top in its new, open or closed position (ECLIPSE SPY-
DER only).
