Filling the fuel tank
E00200200698
Fuel tank capacity65 litresRefuelling1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine.
2. The fuel tank filler is located on the rear left side of your
vehicle.
The fuel tank filler door can be opened from inside the
vehicle with the fuel tank filler door release lever located
below the instrument panel.
WARNING
!●Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You
could be burned or seriously injured when handling
it. When refuelling your vehicle, always turn the
engine off and keep away from flames, sparks, and
smoking materials. Always handle fuel in well-venti-
lated outdoor areas.●Before removing the fuel cap, be sure to get rid of
your body’s static electricity by touching a metal
part of the car or fuel pump. Any static electricity on
your body could create a spark that ignites fuel
vapour.●Perform the whole refuelling process (opening the
fuel tank filler door, removing the fuel cap, etc.) by
yourself. Do not let any other person come near the
fuel tank filler. If you allowed a person to help you
and that person was carrying static electricity, fuel
vapour could be ignited.●Do not move away from the fuel tank filler until
refuelling is finished. If you moved away and did
something else (for example, cleaning your wind-
screen) part-way through the refuelling process, you
could pick up a fresh charge of static electricity.●Be careful not to inhale fuel vapour. Fuel contains
toxic substances.●Keep the doors and windows closed while refuelling
the vehicle. If they were open, fuel vapour could get
into the cabin.

B- Close
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 vapour
or if you hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops
before removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray
out, injuring you or others.

4. To fill with fuel correctly depends mainly on correct han-
dling of the fuel filler gun. Do not tilt the gun. Insert the
gun in the tank port as far as it goes.
5. When the gun stops automatically, remove the gun half
the way in the tank port. After the second automatic stop,
do not fill with fuel any more.
6. To close, turn the fuel tank filler tube cap slowly clock-
wise until you hear clicking sounds, then gently push the
fuel tank filler door closed.
Installation of accessories
E00200300745
We recommend you to consult your MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
●The installation of accessories, optional parts, etc., should
only be carried out within the limits prescribed by law in
your country, and in accordance with the guidelines fitting
instructions and warnings contained within the documents
accompanying the parts or accessories.
●Improper installation of electrical components may cause
an electrical fire if incorrectly fitted. Please refer to the
Modification/alteration to the electrical or fuel systems
section within this owner’s manual.
●Using a cellular phone or radio set inside the vehicle with-
out an external antenna may cause electrical system inter-
ference, which could lead to unsafe vehicle operation.
●Tyres and wheels which do not meet specifications must
not be used.
Refer to the “Specifications” section for information
regarding wheel and tyre sizes.
CAUTION
!●A label which reads “UNLEADED FUEL ONLY” is
attached to the fuel tank filler lid of vehicles which
can only operate using unleaded petrol. Serious
engine and catalytic converter damage will result if
leaded petrol is filled into these vehicles, and conse-
quently, this must never be attempted.
CAUTION
!●To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top-
off” the fuel tank.
CAUTION
!●If you need to replace the fuel tank filler tube cap,
use only the cap specified for your model vehicle.

NOTE●If the engine is cold, the diesel preheat indication lamp is
on for a longer time.
●When the engine has not been started within about 5 sec-
onds after the diesel preheat indication lamp went out,
return the ignition key to the “LOCK” position. Then, turn
the key to the “ON” position to preheat the engine again.
●When the engine is warm, the diesel preheat indication
lamp does not come on even if the ignition key is placed
in the “ON” position.
Start the engine by turning the ignition key right to the
“START” position.
7. Turn the ignition key to the “START” position without
depressing the accelerator pedal, and release it when the
engine starts.NOTE●A ticking noise may be heard after starting the engine.
This is not an abnormal condition. The noise will disap-
pear after a short time of engine running.
If the ticking noise continues after the engine is warmed
up, we recommend you to have your vehicle checked.
Diesel particulate filter (DPF)
*
E00619800069
The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a device that captures
most of the particulate matter (PM) in the exhaust emissions of
the diesel engine. The DPF automatically burns away trapped
PM during vehicle operation. Under certain driving conditions,
however, the DPF is not able to burn away all of the trapped
PM and, as a result, an excessive amount of PM accumulates
inside.NOTE●To minimize the likelihood of excessive accumulation of
PM, try to avoid driving for long periods at low speeds
and repeatedly driving short distances.
WARNING
!●The DPF reaches very high temperatures. Do not
park your vehicle in areas where combustible mate-
rials such as dry grass or leaves can come in contact
with the hot exhaust system since fire could occur.
CAUTION
!●Do not use any type of fuel or engine oil that is not
specified for your vehicle. Also, do not use any mois-
ture-removing agent or other fuel additive. Such
substances could have a detrimental effect on the
DPF.
Refer to “Fuel selection” on page 2 and “Engine oil”
on page 8-7.
