Important point!Due to the large number of accessory and replacement parts
provided by different manufacturers in the market, it is not
always possible for an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to
check whether the attachment or installation of non-Mitsubishi
Motors genuine parts affects the driving safety of your
Mitsubishi-vehicle.
Modification/alterations to the electrical or fuel 
systems
N00301800138
Mitsubishi Motors manufactures high quality vehicles with an
emphasis on safety. It is important to consult an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer before installation of any accessory
which may involve modification of the electrical or fuel sys-
tems.
WARNING
!While driving, do not use a cellular phone in a way
that hinders safe driving. Anything, including cellu-
lar phone usage, that distracts you from the safe
operation of your vehicle increases your risk of an
accident.
Refer to and follow all state and local laws in your
area regarding cellular phone usage while driving.
CAUTION
! Please consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer concerning any such accessory fitment or
modification.
If the wires interfere with the vehicle body or
improper installation methods are used (protective
fuses not included, etc.), electronic devices may be
adversely affected, resulting in a fire, vehicle dam-
age, or other accident.
