GENERAL INFORMATION

Installation of accessoriesEB24A-Ce
Before fitting any accessories, please con-
sult your authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
(1) The installation of accessories, optional
parts, etc., should only be carried out
within the limits prescribed by law in
your country, and in accordance with
the guidelines and warnings contained
within the documents accompanying
this vehicle.
Only MITSUBISHI approved acces-
sories should be fitted to your vehicle.
(2) Improper installation of electrical parts
could cause fire, please refer to the
Modification/alterations to the electrical
or fuel systems section within this
owner’s handbook.
(3) When using a communication system
such as a cellular phone or a radio set
inside the vehicle, a separate external
antenna must be fitted. When a cellular
phone or a radio set is used by using an
internal antenna alone, it may interfere
with the vehicle’s electrical system and
adversely affect safe operation of the
vehicle.
(4) Tyres and wheels which do not meet
specifications must not be used.
Refer to the “Specifications” section for
information regarding wheel and tyre
sizes on page 10–11.(5) Do not fail to read all relative instructions
before first putting into service and prior
to the attachment or installation of ac-
cessories, parts or other modifications
to the vehicle!Important points!Due to the large number of accessory and
replacement parts of different manufacturers
in the market, it is not possible, not only for
MITSUBISHI MOTOR SALES Europe B.V.,
but also an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer,
to check whether the attachment or installa-
tion of such parts affects the driving safety of
your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.
Even when such parts are officially autho-
rized, for example by a “general operators
permit” (an appraisal for the part) or through
the execution of the part in an officially ap-
proved manner of construction, or when a
single operation permit following the attach-
ment or installation of such parts, it cannot be
deduced from that alone, that the driving
safety of your vehicle has not been affected.Consider also that there basically exists no
liability on the part of the appraiser or the offi-
cial. Only in the case of parts (MITSUBISHI
original replacement or exchange parts as
well as MITSUBISHI accessories) that are
recommended and released by an autho-
rized MITSUBISHI dealer and that are at-
tached or installed by an authorized MIT-
SUBISHI dealer can you assume, that
optimal safety has been provided. The same
also pertains to modifications of MIT-
SUBISHI vehicles with respect to the pro-
duction specifications. For your own safety,
in such cases as well, you should only un-
dertake modifications according to the rec-
ommendations of an authorized MIT-
SUBISHI dealer.

(6) The heavier weight and higher rolling
and air resistance will increase fuel con-
sumption.
Additional precautions for vehicles
equipped with an automatic
transmission
The “2” position (INVECS–II 4A/T) or 2nd
gear (INVECS–II Sport Mode 4A/T) is re-
commended on slopes or at low speed. Use
the “L” position (INVECS–II 4A/T) or 1st gear
(INVECS–II Sport Mode 4A/T) in mountain-
ous areas in order to make better use of en-
gine braking and to assist the brake system.
However, be sure that the speed does not
exceed the maximum speed limit for the se-
lected gear.
For maximum speed of the vehicles
equipped with INVECS–II 4A/T, refer to the
description of the “Possible driving speed”
on page 5–24.Vehicles with automatic transmission

as possible from the audio equipment.(4) In the case of misuse (entry of a foreign
object or water, smoke or odor, etc.), im-
mediately stop the operation and have
the audio system checked at an author-
ized MITSUBISHI dealer. Never try to
repair it by yourself. Avoid continuous

(8) a maximum of 12 stations in the UKW
band (6 U1 stations and 6 U2 stations),
6 stations in the MW band and 6 stations in
the LW band. (Stations already assigned to

(6 or 7) to tune the frequency to be en-
tered in the memory.
2. Press one of the memory select but-
tons (8) for about 2 seconds or longer.
The sound will be momentarily inter-
rupted while the frequency is being
entered into the memory.
The number of the button correspon-ding to the entry in the memory and the
frequency are displayed.
3. The preset memory setting is retrieved
by pressing the button and then re-
leasing it within 2 seconds.
Automatic settingWith the method, all manually set stations in
the band currently selected for reception are

strength. The radio automatically selects
12 stations in the UKW band and 6 stations
each in the MW and LW band.
Follow the steps described below.
1. With the radio mode selected, hold
down the U/M/L button (3) until a beep
is emitted. The 6 stations with the best
signal strength will automatically be
assigned to the memory select but-
tons (8), with the lowest-frequency

and AF (alternative frequency) list trans-
mitted in addition to the normal UKW broad-
casting programs, and picks up the UKW
stations that are transmitting the same pro-
gram from the EON (enhanced other net-
work) and automatically tunes to the station
with the strongest signal intensity.
Therefore, you can continue listening to one
program in, for example, a long distance
driving without retuning to other station trans-
mitting the same program when you are
leaving the service area of the currently re-
ceiving station.
The RDS radio also features the limited re-
ception of the program types, the break-in re-
ception of the traffic announcement andemergency broadcast, and the limited/un-
limited reception of the regional programs.

AF (Alternative Frequencies) functionThe AF function finds a station broadcasting
the same program, and selects the station
with the strongest signal of AF lists.
The AF function is tuned on (with the AF indi-
cator (13) shown on the display) at all times
unless you manually switch it off.
To turn the function off, at first, switch off the
power from UKW mode, and while pressing
the No.5 of the memory select buttons (7),
press the PWR switch (1) until it beeps. The
AF indicator (13) on the display will turn off.
To turn the function on, use the same pro-
cedure.
REG (Regional) functionREG function limits to receive the stations
broadcasting regional programs.
Regional programming and regional net-
works 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 receive the re-
gional programs automatically, you can set
up REG ON not to receive regional pro-
grams.
To turn the function on, switch off the power
from UKW mode, and while pressing the V
side of the TUNE/SEEK button (5), press the
PWR switch (1) until it beeps. The ”REG ON”
will be shown on the display.To turn the function off, use the same pro-
cedure.
PI (Program Identification) search
function
When traveling long distance and the re-
called preset station is weak, radio searches
another frequency 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 broadcasting the regional pro-
gramming. The radio succeeds in searching
the regional programming, then the display
shows the REG indicator (10).
If the radio does not succeed in searching
the regional programming, the radio returns
to the recalled preset station.
PTY (Program type)RDS broadcasts are classified according to
program type (PTY) as follows. Use the
TUNE/SEEK button (5 or 6) to select your
desired PTY.1. NEWS
