When installing a car phone, CB radio, or similar communication equipment in the Mitsubishi Outlander, observe the following precautions carefully. Improper installation or operation may interfere with the vehicle's electronic control modules, wiring, or other electronic systems.

WARNING

  • Do not use a cellular phone in a way that distracts you from driving. Your full attention should remain on safe vehicle operation at all times. The use of cellular phones while driving is also restricted or prohibited in some jurisdictions.
  • If a call must be made while the Mitsubishi Outlander is moving, use the hands-free phone function, if equipped. Even with hands-free operation, remain cautious and keep your attention focused on driving conditions.
  • If a conversation requires you to write notes or perform any other task that takes your attention away from driving, leave the roadway and stop the vehicle in a safe location before doing so.
