ECU MITSUBISHI SHOGUN 2003 Owner's Manual (in English)

Installation of accessories
EB24A-Cb
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 con-
tained within the documents accompa-
nying this vehicle.
Only MITSUBISHI approved accesso-
ries should be fitted to your vehicle.
(2) Improper installation of electrical parts
could cause fire, please refer to the
Modifications/Alterations to the electri-
cal 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 exter-
nal antenna must be fitted. When a cel-
lular 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.(5) Do not fail to read all relative instruc-
tions before first putting into service and
prior to 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 manufactur-
ers in the market, it is not possible, not only
for MITSUBISHI, but also an authorized
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 autho-
rized, 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 vehicle has not
been affected.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
exchange 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 pro-
vided. The same also pertains to modifi-
cations of MITSUBISHI vehicles with
respect 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.

CAUTION
(2) When luggage is loaded onto the
vehicle, please make sure to
drive slowly and avoid exces-
sive maneuvers such as sud-
den braking or quick turning.
In addition, place the luggage on
the carrier so that its weight is
distributed evenly with the heavi-
est 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 cen-
tre of gravity and affect the
vehicle handling characteris-
tics.
As a result, driving errors or
emergency maneuvers could
lead to a loss of control and
result in an accident.
(3) Before driving and after travel-
ling a short distance, always
check the load to make sure it is
securely fastened 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 deter-
mine if the roof carrier should be
removed.
(3) Be sure that adequate clearance is
maintained for raising the sunroof when
installing a roof carrier. (For vehicle with
sunroof)
Genuine parts
EB05A-Fj
Don’t play around with substitutes.
MITSUBISHI has gone to great lengths to
bring you a superbly crafted vehicle offer-
ing the highest quality and dependability.
Don’t reduce that quality and dependabil-
ity by using substitute parts.
Always use MITSUBISHI Genuine Parts
designed and manufactured to maintain
your MITSUBISHI vehicle at top perfor-
mance. The operation of vehicle compo-
nents can be less efficient in case of using
Non-Genuine Parts.
Failure to use Genuine Parts may invali-
date any future warranty claim.
MITSUBISHI will not be liable for any mal-
function of your vehicle 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 profession-
ally.
MITSUBISHI Genuine Parts are identi-
fied by this mark, and are available at all
authorized MITSUBISHI dealers.
