3. Open the fuel tank filler tube by slowly turn-
ing the cap anticlockwise. A- Remove
B- Close CAUTION
l
Since the
fuel system may be under pres-
sure, remove the fuel tank filler tube cap
slowly. This relieves any pressure or vac-
uum that might have built up in the fuel
tank. If you hear a hissing sound, wait un-
til it stops before removing the cap. Oth-
erwise, fuel may spray out, injuring you
or others.
4. Insert the gun in the tank port as far as it goes. CAUTION
l
Do not tilt the gun.
5. When the gun stops automatically, do not fill with fuel any more. 6.
To close,
turn the fuel tank filler tube cap
slowly clockwise
until you hear clicking
sounds, then gently push the fuel tank filler
door closed. Installation of accessories
E00200300774
We recommend you
to consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l The installation of accessories, optional
parts, should only be carried out within the
limits prescribed by law in your country, and
in accordance with the guidelines fitting in-
structions and warnings contained within the
documents accompanying the parts or acces-
sories.
l Improper installation of electrical compo-
nents may cause an electrical fire if incorrect-
ly fitted. Please refer to the Modification/al-
teration to the electrical or fuel systems sec-
tion 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.
l When fitting accessories, ensure that maxi-
mum gross vehicle weight and maximum
axle weight are not exceeded.
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.

WARNING
l The side airbags and curtain airbags are
designed to supplement the driver and pas-
senger seat belts in certain side impacts.
Seat belts should always be worn proper-
ly, and the driver and passenger should
sit well back and upright without leaning
against the window or door.
l The side airbag and curtain airbag inflate
with great force. The driver and passen-
ger should not put their arms out of the
window, and should not lean against the
door, in order to reduce the risk of seri-
ous or possible fatal injury from the de-
ploying side airbag and curtain airbag. WARNING
l Do not
allow
any rear seat occupant to
hold onto the seatback of either front
seat, in order to reduce the risk of injury
from a deploying side airbag. Special
care should be taken with children. WARNING
l Do not place
any objects near or in front
of the seatback of either front seat. They
could interfere with proper side airbag in-
flation, and also could cause injury if
thrown free by side airbag deployment.
l Do not place stickers, labels or additional
trim on the seatback of either front seat.
They could interfere with proper side air-
bag inflation.
l Do not install seat covers on seats with
side airbags. Do not re-cover the seats
with side airbags. They could interfere
with proper side airbag inflation.
l Do not attach a microphone (A) or any
other device or object around the part
where the curtain airbags activate such
as on the windscreen, side door glass,
front and rear pillars and roof side or as-
sist grips. When the curtain airbags in-
flate, the microphone or other device or
object will be hurled with great force or
the curtain airbags may not activate cor-
rectly, resulting in death or serious injury. WARNING
l Do not put a hanger or any heavy or poin-
ted object on the coat hook.
If the curtain airbag was activated, any
such item could be propelled away with
great force and could prevent the curtain
airbag from inflating correctly. Hang
clothes directly on the coat hook (without
using a hanger).
Make sure there are no heavy or sharp ob-
jects in the pockets of clothes that you
hang on the coat hook.
l Do not allow a child to lean against or
close to the front door even if the child is
seated in a child restraint system.
The child’s head should also not lean
against or be close to the area where the
side airbag and curtain airbag are loca-
ted. It is dangerous if the side airbag and
curtain airbag inflate.
Failure to follow all of these instructions
could lead to serious or fatal injury to the
child.
l We recommend work around and on the
side airbags and curtain airbags system
to be done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point. Seat and seat belts

The new refrigerant HFC-134a in your
vehicle will
not harm the ozone layer.
It is recommended that the refrigerant be recovered
and recycled for further use.
During a long period of disuse
The air conditioning should be operated for at least
five minutes each week, even in cold weather. This
is to prevent the compressor from seizing and to
maintain the air conditioning in the best operating
condition. Air purifier
(with deodorizing function) E00708400183
An air filter
is incorporated into the air condition-
ing system to remove pollen, dust, tobacco smells
and exhaust smells.
The air filter’s ability to collect pollen and dirt is re-
duced as it becomes dirty, so replace it periodical-
ly. For the maintenance interval, refer to the “SERV-
ICE 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 the air flow rate
suddenly drops or when the windscreen or
windows start to fog up easily, the air filter
requires replacement. We recommend you to
have it checked. LW/MW/FM electronic tuning
