Important facts to know in case of an accident
In the event of an accident
 Remain calm.
 Check for injuries. Report all injuries to
the police, and, if necessary, call for an
ambulance.
 Record all the details of the accident. This
will provide you with accurate records of
the accident for discussions with your
insurance company and other persons
who may be acting on your behalf.
Key information to discuss with
your insurance company

 Understand your repair estimate before
approving repairs.
 Choosing the repair shop and the brands
of parts that they use on your vehicle is
your decision.
 Ask for genuine Mitsubishi Motors parts.
Many times, to save money, your insur-
ance company will recommend imitation
parts that do not meet the original specifi-
cations of fit, finish, corrosion resistance
or workmanship.
10-4 Customer assistance/Reporting Safety Defects
Mitsubishi Motors built-in pro-
tection
The strength and integrity built into your
vehicle is the result of a specific design
referred to as "Energy Management". Indi-
vidual body parts are designed to act as one
unit in the event of an accident. Shock waves
are absorbed by protective panels or are chan-
neled around the passenger compartment.
This important feature is possible because
high tensile steel is used in panels and struc-
tural parts, something that cannot be guaran-
teed by the manufacturers of imitation parts.
All Genuine Mitsubishi Motors body panels
and support brackets are designed and con-
structed as important protection features in
the event of an accident. By replacing body
parts with non-Genuine Mitsubishi Motors
parts, your vehicle may no longer meet origi-
nal equipment specifications.
Consumer rights (For vehicles
sold in U.S.A.)
As a consumer requesting repair on your
vehicle, you have consumer rights. Across the
country, State Insurance Commissioners have
begun considering rules on the use of non-
OEM parts. This could mean that repair shops
will have to disclose to the consumer when
they intend to use non-OEM parts. Since reg-
ulations are not consistent on this point,
remember you have a choice. So, if you want
genuine Mitsubishi Motors parts, you may
have to specifically request them. Make cer-
tain your insurance company understands
imitations are not to be used in the repair of
your vehicle. You deserve the best genuine
Mitsubishi Motors parts.
