GENERAL INFORMATION

Modification / alterations to
the electric or fuel systems
EB11A-D
MITSUBISHI has always manufactured
safe, high quality vehicles. In order to main-
tain this safety and quality, it is important that
any accessory that is to be fitted, or any
modifications carried out which involve the
electric or fuel systems, should be carried
out in accordance with MITSUBISHI guide-
lines.
CAUTION
Please consult an authorized MITSU-
BISHI dealer concerning any such fit-
ment 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 or other accident.
B10A001a
Roof drip mouldingEB10A-T
When installing the roof carrier, remove the
roof drip moulding caps.
1. Open the cover (A) and remove the
screws using a Philips screwdriver.
2. Remove the caps by sliding them.
After removal of the roof carrier, replace the
roof drip moulding caps.
Roof carrier precautionEB10A-U
CAUTION
(1) Make sure that the weight of the
luggage does not exceed the
allowable roof load.
If the allowable roof load is ex-
ceeded, this may cause damage
to the vehicle.
The roof load is the total allowable
load on the roof (the weight of the
roof carrier plus the weight of lug-
gage placed on the roof carrier).
For specific figures, please refer
to the ”Maximum roof load” on
page 10–6.

GENERAL INFORMATION
1–10
CAUTION
(2) When luggage is loaded onto the
vehicle, please make sure to drive
slowly and avoid excessive man-
euvers such as sudden braking or
quick turning.
In addition, place the luggage on
the carrier so that its weight is dis-
tributed evenly with the heaviest
items on the bottom. Do not load
items that are wider than the roof
carrier.
The additional weight on the roof
could heighten the vehicle’s centre
of gravity and affect the vehicle
handling characteristics.
As a result, driving errors or emerg-
ency maneuvers could lead to a
loss of control and result in an acci-
dent.
CAUTION
(3) Before driving and after travelling a
short distance, always check the
load to make sure it is securely fas-
tened to the roof carrier.
Check periodically during your
travel that the load remains secure.
If the load is not secure, it could fall
from the vehicle and damage your
vehicle, another vehicle or create
road hazard.
NOTE
(1) To prevent wind noise or reduction in
gas mileage, remove the roof carrier
when not in use.
(2) Before using an automatic car wash,
check with the attendant to determine if
the roof carrier should be removed.
(3) Be sure that adequate clearance is
maintained for raising the sunroof (For
vehicles with sunroof) and tailgate
(hatchback) when installing a roof
carrier.
Genuine partsEB05A-Fi
Don’t play around with substitutes.
MITSUBISHI has gone to great lengths to
bring you a superbly crafted vehicle offering
the highest quality and dependability. Don’t
reduce that quality and dependability by us-
ing substitute parts.

signed and manufactured to maintain your
MITSUBISHI vehicle at top performance.
The operation of vehicle components can be
less efficient in case of using Non-Genuine
Parts.
Failure to use Genuine Parts may invalidate
any future warranty claim. MITSUBISHI will
not be liable for any malfunction of your ve-
hicle that may have been caused by the use
of substitute parts in place of MITSUBISHI
Genuine Parts.
At the MITSUBISHI dealer you can also get
appropriate advice and the assembling of
Genuine Parts will be handled professional-
ly.
MITSUBISHI Genuine Parts are identified by
this mark and are available at all authorized
MITSUBISHI dealers.

(6) Depending on the models of ski carriers
or roof carriers, the sunroof may contact
with the carrier when the sunroof is tilted
up. Be careful when tilting up the sun-
roof if such a ski carrier or a roof carrier
is installed.
(7) Be sure to close the sunroof completely
when washing the vehicle or when lea-
ving the vehicle.

weatherstrip (black rubber) around the
sunroof opening. If stained with wax, the

therproof seal with the sunroof.
(9) After washing the vehicle or after it has
rained, wipe off any water that is on the
sunroof before operating it.
