CAUTION
l
Since the fuel system may be under pres-
sure, remove the fuel cap slowly. This re-
lieves any pressure or vacuum that might
have built up in the fuel tank. If you hear
a hissing sound from the cap, wait until it
stops before removing the cap. Other-
wise, fuel may spray out, injuring you or
others.
5. Insert
the gun in the tank port as far as it goes. CAUTION
l
Do not tilt the gun.
6. When
the gun stops automatically, do not fill with fuel any more.
7. Close the fuel cap. To close, turn the fuel cap slowly clockwise
until you hear clicking sounds, then gently
push the fuel tank filler door closed. Installation of accessories
E00200300963
We

recommend you to consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l 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 and
warnings contained within the documents ac-
companying this vehicle.
l Installing electric components incorrectly
could lead to a fire. Please refer to Modifica-
tion/alteration to the electrical or fuel sys-
tems section within this owner’s manual.
l Using a cellular phone or radio set inside the
vehicle without an external antenna may
cause electrical system interference, which
could lead to unsafe vehicle operation.
l Tyres and wheels which do not meet specifi-
cations must not be used.
Refer to the “Specifications” section for in-
formation regarding wheel and tyre sizes.
Important points!
Due to large number of accessory and replacement
parts of different manufactures available in the mar-
ket, it is not possible, not only for MITSUBISHI
MOTORS, but also for a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point, to check whether the at-
tachment or installation of such parts affects the
overall safety of your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.
Even when such parts are officially authorized, for
example
by a “general operators permit” (an ap-
praisal for the part) or through the execution of the
part in an officially approved manner of construc-
tion, or when a single operation permit following
the attachment or installation of such parts, it can-
not be deduced from that alone, that the driving safe-
ty of your vehicle has not been affected.

Consider also that there basically exists no liability
on the part of the appraiser or the official. Maxi-
mum safety can only be ensured with parts recom-
mended, sold and fitted or installed by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point
(MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine replacement
parts and MITSUBISHI MOTORS accessories).
The same also pertains to modifications of
MITSUBISHI vehicles with respect to the produc-
tion specifications. For safety reasons, do not at-
tempt any modifications other than those that fol-
low the recommendations of a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point. General information

E00305600470
The

keyless operation system allows you to lock
and unlock the doors and tailgate, start the engine
and change the operation mode simply by carrying
the keyless operation key with you.
The keyless operation key can also be used as the
keyless entry system remote control switch.
Refer to “Keyless operation system: Keyless entry
system” on page 1-18.

The driver should always carry the keyless opera-
tion key. This key is necessary for locking and un-
locking the doors and tailgate, starting the engine
and otherwise operating the vehicle, so before lock-
ing and leaving the vehicle, be sure to check that
you have the keyless operation key. WARNING
l People
with implantable cardiac pacemak-
ers or implantable cardiovascular-defib-
rillators should not go near the exterior
transmitters (A) or the interior transmit-
ters (B). The radio waves used by the key-
less operation system could adversely af-
fect implantable cardiac pacemakers or
implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators. WARNING
l When using electro-medical devices other
than implantable cardiac pacemakers or
implantable cardiovascular-defibrilla-
tors, contact the electromedical device
manufacturer ahead of time to determine
the affects of radio waves on the devices.
Electromedical device operations could
be affected by radio waves.
You can limit the possible operations of the
keyless
operation system in the following
ways. (The keyless operation system can be
used as a keyless entry system.) Consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point. • You can limit operations to locking andunlocking the doors and tailgate. Locking and unlocking

NOTE l The keyless operation key uses an ultra-weak
electromagnetic wave. In the following ca-
ses, the keyless operation system may not op-
erate properly or may be unstable.
• When there is equipment nearby thatemits strong radio waves, such as: a pow-
er station, a radio/TV broadcasting sta-
tion or an airport.
• The keyless operation system is carried to- gether with a communications device
such as a cellular phone or radio set, or
with an electronic device such as a person-
al computer.
• The keyless operation key is touching or covered by a metal object.
• A keyless entry system is being used near- by.
• When the keyless operation key battery is worn out. • When the keyless operation key is placed
in an area with strong radio waves or noise.
In such cases, use the emergency key.
Refer to “To operate without using the
keyless operation function” on page
1-17.
l Because the keyless operation key receives
signals in order to communicate with the trans-
mitters in the vehicle, the battery continually
wears down regardless of keyless operation
key use. The battery life is 1 to 3 years, de-
pending on usage conditions. When the bat-
tery wears out, have it replaced at a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
l Because the keyless operation key continual-
ly receives signals, strong radio wave recep-
tion could affect battery wear. Do not leave

An
air filter has been incorporated into the air con-
ditioning so that pollen and dust are cleaned from
the air.
Replace the air filter periodically as its ability to
clean the air will be reduced as it collects pollen
and dirt. For the maintenance interval, refer to the
“SERVICE BOOKLET”.
NOTE
l Operation in certain conditions such as driv-
ing on a dusty road and frequent use of the
air conditioning can lead to reduction of serv-
ice life of the filter. When you feel that the
