Notes on vehicle safety

MITSUBISHI FUSO recommends

using appropriate parts only for each particular vehicle 
model.

In many countries, parts that make extensive changes 
to the vehicle can invalidate the general operating 
permit. Specifically, this concerns parts which:

• change the vehicle type approved in the general 

operating permit

• could endanger road users
• could adversely affect safety exhaust emissions, or 

noise levels

a

Risk of accident and injury

The use of parts, assemblies or conversion parts 
and accessories which have not been approved 
may jeopardize the safety of the vehicle.

Before installing any attachments, special-purpose 
bodies, equipment or carrying out any modifica-
tions to the basic vehicle and/or its assemblies, 
you must read the relevant sections of the Owner’s 
Handbook, as well as the operating and assembly 
instructions issued by the manufacturer of the 
accessories and items of optional equipment.

You could otherwise fail to recognize dangers, 
which could result in injury to yourself or others.

Official acceptance by public testing bodies or 
official approval does not rule out safety hazards.

i

Make absolutely sure that you comply with federal, 
state, and local regulations and codes as attach-
ments, bodies, equipment on or modifications to 
the vehicle will change the vehicle type approved 
and may invalidate the general operating permit.

tions to the basic vehicle and/or its assemblies, 
you must read the relevant sections of the Owner’s

Work incorrectly carried out on electronic compo-
nents and their software could prevent this equip-
ment from working correctly. Since the electronic 
systems are networked, this might also affect 
systems that have not been modified.

Malfunctions in the electronic systems could seri-
ously jeopardize the operating safety of the vehicle.
