GENERAL INFORMATION
Installation of accessories
EB24A-E
Before fitting any accessories, please con-
sult your authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
(1) The installation of accessories, op-
tional parts, etc., should only be car-
ried out within the limits prescribed by
law in your country, and in accord-
ance with the guidelines and warn-
ings 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/Alteration to the elec-
trical or fuel systems section within
this manual.
(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 elec-
trical 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 “Specification” section for
information regarding wheel and tyre
sizes.Consider also that there basically exists
no liability on the part of the appraiser
or the official. Only in the case of parts
(MITSUBISHI original replacement or ex-
change parts as well as MITSUBISHI
accessories) that are recommended and
released by an authorized MITSUBISHI
dealer and that are attached or installed
by an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer can
you assume, that optimal safety has been
provided. The same also pertains to modi-
fications of MITSUBISHI vehicles with re-
spect to the production specifications. For
your own safety, in such cases as well,
you should only undertake modifications
according to the recommendations of an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer. (5) Do not fail to read all relative instruc-
tions before first putting into service
the attachment or installation of
accessories, parts or other modifica-
tions to the vehicle!
Important points!
Due to the large number of accessory and
replacement parts of different manufac-
turers in the market, it is not possible, not
only for MITSUBISHI, but also for an au-
thorized MITSUBISHI dealer, to check
whether the attachment or installation of
such parts affects the driving safety of
your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.
Even when such parts are officially au-
thorized, for example by a general opera-
tors “permit” (an appraisal for the part) or
through the execution of the part in an offi-
cially approved manner of construction, or
when a single operation permit following
the attachment or installation of such
parts, it cannot be deduced from that
alone, that the driving safety of your vehi-
cles has not been affected.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Modification / alterations
to the electrical or fuel
systems
EB11A-D
MITSUBISHI has always 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 that are to be carried
out which involve the electric or fuel sys-
tems, should be carried out in accordance
with MITSUBISHI guidelines.
CAUTIONPlease consult an authorized MIT-
SUBISHI dealer concerning any
such fitment or modification.
If the wires interfere with the vehicle
body or if improper installation
methods are used (protective fuses
not included, etc.), electronic de-
vices may be adversely affected, re-
sulting in fire or an other accident.
Roof drip moulding*EB10A-Fb
When installing the roof rack, use the
brackets (A).
There are brackets (A) under roof drip
moulding (B).
NOTE
(1) Use a genuine MITSUBISHI roof car-
rier, since the brackets to be used are
of special shape. For details, consult
a nearby authorized MITSUBISHI
dealer.
(2) For the roof load, refer to page 10-6,
10-12, 10-19.
Roof carrier precaution
EB10A-S
CAUTION(1) Make sure that the weight of the
luggage does not exceed the al-
lowable roof load.
If the allowable roof load is ex-
ceeded, this may cause damage
to the vehicle.
The roof load is the total allow-
able load on the roof (the weight
of the roof carrier plus the
weight of luggage placed on the
roof carrier).
For specific figures, please refer
to the “Maximum roof load” on
page 10-6, 10-12, 10-19.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
Turn-signal indication lamps - greenED52A-Bb
These indication lamps blink on and off when a
turn-signal lamp is operating.
NOTE
If the blinking is too fast, the cause may be a faulty
turn-signal connection or a blown lamp bulb.
Hazard warning indication lamps - green
ED30A-A
When the hazard warning lamp switch is pressed, all
turn-signal lamps will flash on and off continuously.
High-beam indication lamp - blueED51A-Aa
This indication lamp illuminates when the high
beam is used.
Low fuel warning lamp - amberED63ABDa
The indication lamp illuminates on when the fuel
tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as possible.
CAUTIONOn petrol-powered vehicles, do not drive
with an extremely low fuel level, running
out of fuel could cause damage to the cat-
alytic converter.
NOTE
(1) On inclines or curves, due to the movement
of fuel in the tank, the low fuel indication lamp
may indicate incorrectly.
(2) When the engine on diesel-powered vehicles
fails to operate owing to running out of fuel, it
may sometimes not be restarted after refuel-
ing. This is due to air entering the fuel sys-
tem. Therefore, air must be bled from the
system. (Refer to the page 8-25.)
Door-ajar warning lamp - redED56A-Aa
This lamp illuminates when a door is either open
or incompletely closed.
CAUTIONBefore moving your vehicle, check that the

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
Oil pressure warning lamp - redED25A-Ai
This lamp illuminates when the ignition key is
turned “ON”, and goes off after the engine has
started. If it illuminates while the engine is run-
ning, the oil pressure is too low.
If the warning lamp illuminates while the engine is
running, turn the engine off. And contact your near-
est authorized MITSUBISHI dealer for inspection.
CAUTION(1) If this lamp illuminates when the engine
oil level is not low, contact your nearest
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer for in-
spection.
(2) This warning lamp does not indicate
the amount of oil in the crankcase. This
must be determined by checking the oil
level on the dipstick, while the engine
is switched off.
(3) If you continue driving with low engine
oil level or with this warning lamp illu-
minated, engine seizure may occur.
NOTE
The oil pressure warning lamp should not be
treated as an indication of the engine’s oil level.
The oil level must be checked using the dipstick.
Fuel filter indication lamp - amber
(diesel-powered vehicles only)
ED59A-Bc
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position and goes off after the
engine has started. If it lamps up while the engine
is running, it indicates that water has accumul-
ated inside the fuel filter; if this happens, remove
the water from the fuel filter.
When the lamp goes out, you can resume driving.
If it either does not go out or comes on from time to
time, have the vehicle inspected at an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer.
Brake warning lamp - redED23A-Ie
With the ignition switch “ON”, the brake warning
lamp illuminates under the following conditions:
(1)
When the parking brake lever has been engaged.(2) When the brake fluid level in the reservoir
falls to a low level.
(3) If a malfunction develops in the brake servo
system. (Diesel-powered vehicles only)
(4)
If the brake warning lamp and charge warning
lamp come on at the same time while the en-
gine is running, it is possible that the alternator
belt is broken. (Diesel-powered vehicles only)
