E10 type petrol
E00203200019
The petrol engines
are compatible with E10 type
petrol (containing 10 % ethanol) conforming to Eu-
ropean standards EN 228. CAUTION
l
Do not use more than 10 %
concentration
of ethanol (grain alcohol) by volume.
Use
of more than 10 % concentration
may lead to damage to your vehicle fuel
system, engine, engine sensors and ex-
haust system. Filling the fuel tank
E00200201767 WARNING
l When handling
fuel,
comply with the safe-
ty regulations displayed by garages and
filling stations.
l Before removing the fuel tank filler tube
cap, be sure to get rid of your body’s stat-
ic electricity by touching a metal part of
the car or fuel pump. Any static electrici-
ty 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 tank filler tube cap, etc.) by
yourself. Do not let any other person
come near the fuel tank filler. If you al-
lowed a person to help you and that per-
son was carrying static electricity, fuel va-
pour could be ignited.
l Do not move away from the fuel tank fill-
er door 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 fuel tank filler tube cap must be re-
placed, use only a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS original part.
Fuel tank capacity
3-door models: 69 litres
5-door models: 88 litres Refueling
1.Before filling with fuel, stop the engine.
2. The
fuel tank filler is located on the rear
right side of your vehicle.
Open the fuel tank filler door with the re-
lease lever located below the instrument panel.

WARNING
l For some types of child restraint, the lock-
ing clip (A) should be used to help avoid
personal injury during a collision or sud-
den manoeuvre.
It must be fitted and used in accordance
with the child restraint manufacturer’s in-
structions.
The locking clip must be removed when
the child restraint is removed. Seat belt inspection
E00406300475
l Check the
belts
for cuts, worn or frayed web-
bing and for cracked or deformed metallic
parts. Replace the belt assembly if it is defec-
tive.
l A dirty belt should be cleaned with neutral de-
tergent in warm water. After rinsing in water,
let it dry in the shade. Do not attempt to
bleach or re-dye the belts because this will af-
fect their characteristics. WARNING
l We recommend
you
to have all seat belt
assemblies including retractors and at-
taching hardware inspected after any col-
lision. We recommend that seat belt as-
semblies in use during a collision be re-
placed unless the collision was minor and
the belts show no damage and continue to
operate properly.
l Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of the seat belt assemblies; we recom-
mend you to have this work done by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point. Incorrect repair or replace-
ment could reduce the effectiveness of the
belts and could result in serious injury in
the event of a collision.
l Once the pretensioner has been activated,
it cannot be re-used.
It must be replaced together with the re-
tractor. Supplemental restraint system
(SRS) - airbag E00407201407
The information written
in this Supplemental Re-
straint System (SRS) section contains important
points concerning the driver, front passenger, side
and curtain airbags.
The SRS driver and front passenger airbags are de-
signed to supplement the primary protection of the
driver and front passenger side seat belt systems by
providing those occupants with protection against
head and chest injuries in certain moderate-to-se-
vere frontal collisions.
The SRS driver and front passenger airbags em-
ploy a dual stage airbag system. The SRS driver
and front passenger airbag is controlled by the im-
pact sensors (at the front of the vehicle) and the con-
trol unit (near the centre of the vehicle at floor level).
The SRS side airbag (if so equipped) is designed to
supplement properly worn seat belts and provide
the driver and front passenger with protection
against chest injury in certain moderate-to-severe
side impact collisions.
The SRS curtain airbags (if so equipped) are de-
signed to supplement properly worn seat belts and
provide the driver and passenger with protection
against head injuries in certain moderate-to-severe
side impact collisions.
The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat belts; for
maximum protection in all types of crashes and ac-
cidents, seat belts should ALWAYS be worn by ev-
eryone who drives or rides in this vehicle. Seat and seat belts

not leave
the lamps on for a long time
while the engine is stationary (not running).
A rundown battery could result.
l When it rains, or when the vehicle has been

tional problem.
When the lamp is switched on, the heat will
remove the fog. However, if water gathers in-

CAUTION
l
With the ignition switch in the “ON” posi-
tion and the lever in the “AUTO” posi-
tion, the wipers may automatically oper-
ate in the situations described below.
If your hands get trapped, you could suf-
fer injuries or the wipers could malfunc-
tion. Be sure to turn the ignition switch to
the “OFF” position or move the lever to
the “OFF” position to deactivate the rain
sensor. • When cleaning the outside surface ofthe windscreen, if you touch the rain
sensor.
• When cleaning the outside surface of the windscreen, if you wipe with a
cloth the rain sensor.
• When using an automatic car wash.
• A physical shock is applied to the wind- screen.
• A physical shock is applied to the rain sensor.
NOTE l To
protect the
rubber parts of the wipers, this
operation of the wipers does not take place
when the vehicle is stationary and the ambi-
ent temperature is about 0 °C or lower.
l Do not cover the sensor by affixing a sticker
or label to the windscreen. Also, do not put
any water-repellent coating on the wind-
screen. The rain sensor would not be able to
detect the extent of rain, and the wipers
might stop working normally. l
In the
following
cases, the rain sensor may
be malfunctioning.
Have the vehicle inspected at a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point. • When the wipers operate at a constant in-terval despite changes in the extent of rain.
• When the wipers do not operate even though it is raining.
l The wipers may automatically operate when
things such as insects or foreign objects are
affixed to the windscreen on top of the rain
sensor or when the windscreen is frozen. Ob-
jects affixed to the windscreen will stop the
wipers when the wipers cannot remove them.
To make the wipers operate again, place the
lever in the “LO” or “HI” position.
Also, the wipers may operate automatically
due to strong direct sunlight or electromag-
netic wave. To stop the wipers, place the lev-
er in the “OFF” position.
