NOTE●Petrol-powered vehicles have the knock control system so
that you can use unleaded petrol 90 RON as an emergent
measure in case unleaded petrol 95 RON or higher is not
available on journey, etc. In such a case, you don’t need to
adjust the engine specially.
In case of using unleaded petrol 90 RON, the engine per-
formance level is reduced.●Repeatedly driving short distance at low speeds can cause
deposits to form in the fuel system and engine, resulting in
poor starting and poor acceleration. If these problems
occur, you are advised to add a detergent additive to the
gasoline when you refuel the vehicle. The additive will
remove the deposits, thereby returning the engine to a nor-
mal condition. Be sure to use a genuine MITSUBISHI
FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER. Using an unsuitable addi-
tive could make the engine malfunction. For details,
please contact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
●Poor quality petrol can cause problems such as hard start-
ing, stalling, engine noise and hesitation. If your experi-
ence these problems, try another brand and/or grade of
petrol.
If the check engine warning lamp flashes, have the system
checked as soon as possible at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.Recom-
