We hope you will never be involved in an accident, but there is always that potential danger. So, please be sure to buckle up and drive safely. 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 insurance company will recommend imitation parts that do not meet the original specifications of fit, finish, corrosion resistance or workmanship.
Mitsubishi Motors built-in protection
The strength and integrity built into your Mitsubishi vehicle is the result of a specific design referred to as “Energy Manage- ment”. Individual body parts are designed to act as one unit in the event of an accident. Shock waves are absorbed by protec- tive panels or are channeled around the passenger compart-
ment. This important feature is possible because high tensile steel is used in Mitsubishi panels and structural parts, some- thing that cannot be guaranteed by the manufacturers of imita- tion parts. All Genuine Mitsubishi body panels and support brackets are designed and constructed as important protection features in the event of an accident. By replacing body parts with imitations, your vehicle may no longer meet original 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 Commis- sioners 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 regulations 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 certain your insurance company understands imitations are not to be used in the repair of your vehicle. You deserve the best genuine Mitsubishi Motors parts. Genuine Mitsubishi Motors parts
