Mitsubishi Connect Services is a subscription-based service that provides both remote and safety systems to make your driving experience safer and easier. After the initial trial period expires, you can easily extend this subscription at a discounted rate. We're going to look at how this system works and the benefits it provides. Mitsubishi Connect Services: Enhancing Your Driving Experience System Requirements This simple, easy-to-use system has four components: vehicle buttons, a downloadable app, a control unit, and access to a wireless communication network. One of the vehicle buttons connects you almost instantly to 24/7/365 emergency assistance, and the other allows you to access roadside assistance. The control unit is pre-installed in your vehicle and provides 4G LTE modem connectivity and a GPS. The Mitsubishi app is a free download for your iPhone or Android and rapidly paired with your vehicle using its VIN. The final system component is the wireless service to Mitsubishi that can be quickly and easily subscribed to. Once all these requirements are met, the system is active. Remote Services You can seamlessly connect to many of your vehicle's systems using the Mitsubishi Connect app. This allows you to access information about your vehicle and perform various tasks. You can remotely start or stop your engine, lock or unlock the doors, and sound the horn, all with just a button press on the app. Some services greatly assist if you have a teen driver. You can create curfew alerts to warn you if your vehicle is switched on during unauthorized periods. If this happens, you'll receive a message in the app. The geo-fence option allows you to set a circular geographic travel area, and the system warns if your Mitsubishi leaves this area. Finally, you can set a speed alert that informs you if your vehicle exceeds a specific speed. Safeguard Services These features provide notifications of important tasks and emergency assistance. If you need roadside assistance, Mitsubishi Connect personnel can quickly locate you using the GPS. In this situation, trained technicians will be dispatched to your location and can assist with changing a flat, lock-out services, fuel delivery, or other services necessary to get you back on the road again. If a collision occurs, an emergency message is sent to the Mitsubishi Connect Emergency Response Center. The alert provides your location and vehicle condition, and trained personnel will immediately contact you to provide any required assistance. You also receive instant notification if your vehicle alarm is triggered, and Mitsubishi Connect can assist law enforcement in locating your vehicle if it's stolen. If you'd like more information about these features or need any assistance with the system setup, contact us today at Peachtree Mitsubishi in Atlanta, GA.

The warranty on your new vehicle can save you significant money on repair costs during your first several years of car ownership, so it's a good idea to understand your coverage terms and limitations. The Mitsubishi Powertrain Warranty is one of the most generous in the industry and comes with a few perks for new drivers. Benefits of Mitsubishi's 10-Year Powertrain Warranty The powertrain warranty lasts for 10 years or up to 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. This powertrain warranty comes with all new Mitsubishi models. The warranty will cover repairs for defective powertrain parts at a Mitsubishi dealership. The specific parts covered by this powertrain warranty are the transmission, transaxle, and engine. Mitsubishi Powertrain Warranty Exclusions Your Mitsubishi warranty has some limitations. If your car components or powertrain is damaged from a collision, misuse, and wear-and-tear, then repairs won't be covered by your warranty. Improper maintenance or failure to meet maintenance recommendations can also void repairs for your powertrain warranty. All warranty repairs should be performed at a Mitsubishi dealership. Additional New Car Warranty Plans The purchase of a new Mitsubishi also comes with a 60,000-mile or five-year New Vehicle Limited Warranty, which covers the repair or replacement of virtually all other vehicle components. Vehicle components excluded from this warranty are the audio/entertainment system, navigation software, tires, battery, refrigerant, and exterior light bulbs. The body panels of your new Mitsubishi are covered by a seven-year or 100,000-mile Anti-Corrosion/Perforation Limited Warranty. This warranty comes in handy if your Mitsubishi develops corrosion on the body panels from damage caused by internal mechanical defects. This warranty does not cover body panel damage caused by chemicals, car accidents, or weather damage. What About Perks? As part of your New Vehicle Warranty, you will have access to five years of 24/7 Roadside Assistance. This program will cover the cost of services for towing the vehicle, replacing a flat tire, jump-starting the engine, or delivering fluids for the vehicle. You will also get trip reimbursement for up to three days for a maximum of $175 if your trip is derailed because of mechanical issues. Should You Consider an Extended Warranty? Mitsubishi drivers have the option of extending the terms of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty by two years for a total of seven years of coverage. It might be a good idea to extend your bumper-to-bumper coverage if you plan to own your vehicle for a long time. You can speak with your dealership's service department about extended warranty coverage. Between a generous 10-year powertrain warranty to a limited bumper-to-bumper warranty for new vehicles, Mitsubishi offers comprehensive coverage for new drivers.
