radio MITSUBISHI L200 2004 Owner's Manual (in English)

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.

also be varied depending on the tyre size,
optional equipment and suspension con-
ditions.
Ignition switchEI01ABGa
1 - The engine is stopped, and the steer-
ing wheel locked. The key can only be
inserted and removed only when the
switch is in this position.
2 - The engine is stopped, but the radio,
cigarette lighter and other electrical
devices can be operated.
3 - The engine is running and all the vehi-
cle’s electrical devices can be oper-
ated.
4 - The starter motor operates. After the
engine has started, release the key
and it will automatically return to the
“ON” position.
Operating hints
(1) Do not let the clutch slip (vehicles with
a manual transmission only) and do
not increase the engine speed more
than necessary when starting.
(2) Be sure that the driving speed does
not exceed the maximum speed for
trailer operation.
(3) To prevent shocks from the overrun
brake, depress the brake pedal lightly
at first and then more strongly.
(4) To make full use of engine braking,
change to a lower gear before de-
scending a slope.
(5) The body, brakes, clutch, and chassis
will be under additional strain when
towing a trailer.
(6) The heavier weight and higher rolling
and air resistance will increase fuel
consumption.
Additional precautions for vehicles
equipped with an automatic transmission
It is recommended to use the “2” position
on slopes or at low speed. Use the “L” po-
sition in mountainous areas in order to
make better use of engine braking and to
assist the brake system. However, be sure
that the speed does not exceed the maxi-
mum speed limit for the selected gear.
For maximum speed, refer to the descrip-
tion of the “Possible driving speed” on
page 5-19.

The audio system can be used when the ignition key is in the “ON”
or “ACC” position.
NOTE
(1) To listen to the audio system while the engine is stopped, turn
the ignition key to the “ACC” position.
(2) When a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle, noise may
be produced from the audio equipment. This does not mean
that something is wrong with the audio equipment. In such a
case, use the cellular phone at a place as far as possible from
the audio equipment.(3) A CD player or a CD autochanger can be connected to this
audio system.
The CD player or the CD autochanger can be operated by
the switch of the audio body. Refer to “To listen to a CD” on
page 6-14.
(4) In case of misuse (entry of a foreign object or water, smoke or
odor, etc.), immediately turn off the audio system and have it
checked at an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer. Never try to
repair it by yourself. Avoid continuous usage without inspec-
tion by a qualified person.

RDS uses PI (program identification) sig-
nal and AF(alternative frequency) list
transmitted in addition to the normal UKW
broadcasting programs, and pick up the
UKW stations that are transmitting the
same program from the EON (enhanced
other network) and automatically tunes
to the station with the strongest signal
intensity.
Therefore, you can continue listening to
one program in, for example, a long dis-
tance driving without returning to other
station transmitting the same program
when you are leaving the service area of
the currently receiving station.
The RDS radio also features the limited
reception of the program types, the break-
in reception of the traffic announcement
and emergency broadcast, and the lim-
ited/unlimited reception of the regional
programs.PTY (Program type)
