Fuel selectionE00200102141Recommended fuelCetane number (EN590)
51 or higherCAUTIONlYour vehicle is designed to use only diesel
fuel that meets the EN 590 standard.
Use of any other type of diesel fuel would
adversely affect the engine’s performance
and durability.
NOTE
l Due to the separation of paraffin, the fluidity
of the fuel decreases considerably as the tem-
perature falls.
Because  of  this  fact  there  are  two  kinds  of
fuel: “summer” and “winter”.
This must be considered in winter use.
Select  either  of  the  two  kinds  of  fuel  in  ac-
cordance with ambient temperature. Above -5 °C: “Summer” diesel
Below -5 °C: “Winter” diesel
When  travelling  abroad,  find  out  in  advance
about the fuels served in local service stations.
l Poor-quality diesel fuel can cause deposits to
form in the injector, resulting in black smoke
and rough idling.
If  these  problems  occur,  you  are  advised  to
add  a  cleaning  additive  to  the  diesel  fuel
when you refuel the vehicle.
The additive will break up and remove the de-
posits,  thereby  returning  the  engine  to  a  nor-
mal condition.
Be sure to use a genuine  MITSUBISHI DIE-
SEL  FUEL  SYSTEM  CLEANER.  Using  an
unsuitable  additive  could  make  the  engine
malfunction.  For  details,  please  contact  your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS  Authorized Service
Point.Filling the fuel tank E00200202025WARNINGlWhen handling fuel, comply with the safe-
ty  regulations  displayed  by  garages  and
filling stations.
l 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  the
fuel  pump.  Any  static  electricity  on  your
body  could  create  a  spark  that  ignites
fuel vapour.
l Perform  the  whole  refueling  process
(opening  the  fuel  tank  filler  door,  remov-
ing  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  ig-
nited.
l Do not move away from the fuel tank fill-
er  until  refueling  is  finished.  If  you
moved  away  and  did  something  else  (for
example, cleaning your windscreen) part-
way  through  the  refueling  process,  you
could pick up a fresh charge of static elec-
tricity.
l If the tank cap must be replaced, use only
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS original part.
