Installation of accessories
N00301700023


The installation of accessories, optional parts, etc., should
only be carried out within the limits prescribed by law in
the driving area and in accordance with the guidelines and
warnings contained within the documents accompanying
this vehicle.
Only Mitsubishi Motors approved accessories should be
fitted to your vehicle.


Improper installation of electrical parts could cause fire.
Refer to the “Modification/alterations to the electrical or
fuel systems” section within this owner’s manual.


Using a cellular phone or radio set inside the vehicle with-
out an external antenna may cause electrical system inter-
ference, which could lead to unsafe vehicle operation.


Tires and wheels which do not meet specifications must
not be used.
Refer to the “Specifications” section for information
regarding wheel and tire sizes.
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 will affect the driving safety of your Mit-
subishi-vehicle.
CAUTION
!

Before any electrical or electronic accessories are
installed, consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.
WA R N I N G
!

If you choose to use a cellular phone while driving,
you must not allow that usage to distract you in the
safe operation of your vehicle. Anything, including
cellular 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.

2-56 Seat and restraint systems
2
WA R N I N G
!

Do not attach a microphone (A) or any other object
around the part where the curtain airbag (B)
deploys, such as on the windshield, side door glass or
front and rear pillars and roof side rail. When the
curtain airbag inflates, the microphone or other
object may be hurled with great force or the curtain
airbag may not inflate correctly, resulting in death
or serious injury.
WA R N I N G
!

Do not put a hanger or any heavy or pointed object
on the coat hook. If the curtain airbag was activated,
any such item could be propelled away with great
force and could prevent the curtain airbag from
inflating correctly. Hang clothes directly on the coat
hook (without using a hanger). Make sure there are
no heavy or sharp objects in the pockets of clothes
that you hang on the coat hook.


Never install a rear-facing child restraint system in
the front passenger seat. Rear-facing child restraint
systems MUST ONLY be used in the rear seat.


Front-facing child restraint systems should also be
used ONLY in the rear seat. If a front-facing child
restraint system must be used in the front passenger
seat, move the seat as far back as possible, and make
sure that the child stays in the child restraint system,
properly restrained and away from the door.


Do not allow a child to lean against or sit close to the
passenger door, even if the child is seated in a child
restraint system. The child’s head should also not
lean against or be close to the section of the seatback
where the side airbag and curtain airbag are
located. It is dangerous if the side airbag and curtain
airbag deploys. Failure to follow all of these instruc-
tions could lead to serious injury or death to the
child.

Ty p e 2Two Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key)
and two emergency keys are provided.
Keep one F.A.S.T.-key and one emergency key in a safe place
together as a set of spare keys.
NOTE

The key is a precision electronic device with a built-in sig-
nal transmitter. Please observe the following in order to
prevent damage.
 Do not leave where it may be exposed to heat caused by
direct sunlight, such as on top of the dashboard.
 Do not take the remote control transmitter apart.
 Do not excessively bend the key or subject it to strong
impacts.
 Keep the remote control transmitter dry.
 Keep away from magnetic objects such as key rings.
 Keep away from devices that produce magnetism, such
as audio systems, computers and televisions.
 Keep away from devices that emit strong electromag-
netic waves, such as cellular phones and wireless
devices.
 Do not clean with ultrasonic cleaners.
 Do not leave the key where it may be exposed to high
temperature or high humidity.


If you lose your key, to prevent the theft of the vehicle
immediately contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.

NOTE

The F.A.S.T.-key uses weak electromagnetic waves.
In cases such as the following, operation may be improper
or unstable.
 The vehicle is near a facility that emits strong electro-
magnetic waves, such as a TV transmitting tower, a
power station, a radio station or an airport
 The key is carried together with other communication
devices such as cellular phones or radios, or electrical
appliances such as computers
 The F.A.S.T.-key touches or is covered by a metal object
 A keyless entry system is being used nearby
 The battery of the F.A.S.T.-key is run down
 The vehicle is in a location with strong electromagnetic
waves or noise
Use the emergency key in such circumstances.
Refer to “To operate using the emergency key” on page 3-
34.


The F.A.S.T.-key is constantly performing reception oper-
ations in its communication with the vehicle. This means
that the battery is always running down, regardless of how
often the F.A.S.T.-key is used. The battery life is about 1
to 3 years, depending on the usage conditions.


Since the F.A.S.T.-key is constantly performing reception
operations, the reception of strong electromagnetic waves
can accelerate the running down of the battery. Do not
place near electrical appliances such as televisions or
computers.
Operating range of the F.A.S.T.-key
N00503200079
When a person enters the operating range of the F.A.S.T.-key
while carrying the F.A.S.T.-key and operates a switch or handle
of a door or the rear hatch, verification of the ID code is per-
formed.
The F.A.S.T.-key enables the doors and the rear hatch to be
locked and unlocked and the engine to be started only when the
ID codes of the vehicle and F.A.S.T.-key match.NOTE

When the battery of the F.A.S.T.-key has run down or
there are strong electromagnetic waves or noise in the
area, the operating range could decrease or operations
could become unstable.
