3. Open the fuel tank filler tube by slowly
turning the cap anticlockwise.
CAUTION
Since the fuel system may be under
pressure, remove the fuel tank filler
tube cap slowly. This relieves any
pressure or vacuum that might have
built up in the fuel tank. If the cap is
venting vapor or if you hear a hiss-
ing sound, wait until it stops before
removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel
may spray out. injuring you or oth-

on correct handling of the fuel filler gun.
Do not tilt the gun. Insert the gun in the
tank port as far as it goes.
CAUTION
Petrol-powered vehicles have a label
located on the fuel tank filler lid that
states,“UNLEADED FUEL ONLY”.
The vehicle also has fuel tank filler
tube specially designed to accept the
smaller diameter unleaded petrol dis-
pensing nozzles only.
If the tank cap must be replaced, use
only a MITSUBISHI original part
specified for your vehicle.

remove the gun half the way in the tank
port. After the second automatic stop, do
not fill with fuel any more.

ing, do not“top-off”the fuel tank.6. To close, turn the fuel tank filler tube cap
