1-4 General information
1

Repeatedly driving short distances 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 addi-
tive to the gasoline when you refuel the vehicle. The addi-
tive will remove the deposits, thereby returning the engine
to a normal condition. Be sure to use a genuine Mitsubishi
cleaning additive. Using an unsuitable additive could
make the engine malfunction. For details, please contact
the nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
Filling the fuel tank
N00301100900
WA R N I N G
!
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You
could be burned, seriously injured or killed when
handling it. When refueling your vehicle, always
turn the engine off and keep away from flames,
sparks, and smoking materials. Always handle fuel
in well-ventilated outdoor areas.
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 fuel pump. Any static electricity on
your body could create a spark that ignites fuel
vapor.
Perform the whole refueling process (opening the
fuel tank filler door, removing 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
vapor could be ignited.
Do not move away from the fuel tank filler until
refueling is finished. If you moved away and did
something else (for example, sitting on a seat) part-
way through the refueling process, you could pick
up a fresh charge of static electricity.
Be careful not to inhale fuel vapor. Fuel contains
toxic substances.
Keep the doors and windows closed while refueling
the vehicle. If they were open, fuel vapor could get
into the cabin.

trunk lid.

The system may not operate if the F.A.S.T.-key is too
close to the windshield, door windows or trunk lid.

Even if the F.A.S.T.-key is within about 2.3 feet (70 cm)
of the driver’s or front passenger’s door lock/unlock
switch and center of the trunk lid, the system may not
operate if the key is close to the ground or in a high posi-
tion.

If the F.A.S.T.-key is within the operating range, even a
person not carrying the F.A.S.T.-key can lock and unlock
the doors or open the trunk lid by pressing the driver’s or
front passenger’s door lock/unlock switch or the trunk lid
OPEN switch.

may not be possible to start the engine if the key is in a
storage space such as the glove compartment, on top of
the instrument panel, or in the door pocket or trunk com-
partment.

When the ignition switch is in a position other than “LOCK
(PUSH OFF)”, any of the doors are opened and the F.A.S.T.-
key is removed from the passenger compartment so that the ID
codes of the F.A.S.T.-key and the vehicle can no longer be ver-
ified, the warning display is displayed and the buzzer sounds 4
times as a warning.NOTE
The F.A.S.T.-key take-out monitoring system does not
function if the F.A.S.T.-key is removed through a window
without opening a door. This setting can be changed.
See an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer for details.

The warning may display even if the F.A.S.T.-key is in the
operating range for starting the engine. The surrounding
environment or electromagnetic waves may make it
impossible to verify the ID codes of the F.A.S.T.-key and
vehicle.

NOTE
If the engine hood or the trunk lid is open, the theft-alarm
indicator (A) illuminates and the system cannot enter the
armed stage. The system enters the armed stage about 20
seconds after the engine hood or the trunk lid is closed.

The system will be disarmed if, while the theft-alarm indi-
cator (A) is illuminated, all doors are unlocked by remote
control transmitter or the F.A.S.T.-key.

The system will be disarmed if, while the theft-alarm indi-
cator is illuminated, the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position.

The system will not be armed if a door or the trunk lid or
the engine hood is not completely closed. If this happens,
rearm the system as described above.

The interior alarm sensor, the theft-alarm system can be
activated when people are riding inside the vehicle or
when the windows are open. To prevent accidental activa-
tion of the alarm, do not set the system to the system
armed mode while people are riding in the vehicle.
For vehicles equipped with the interior alarm sensor, the
sensitivity of the interior intrusion detection function can
be adjusted. For further details, please contact an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

For vehicles equipped with the interior alarm sensor, if the
turn signal lights do not flash after the locking and unlock-
ing operation using the remote control transmitter of the
F.A.S.T.-key, the theft-alarm system may be malfunction-
ing.
Have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
If the answerback function (flashing of the turn signal
lights by locking and unlocking the doors) is deactivated,
the turn signal lights do not flash after the locking and
unlocking operation.
For information on the answerback function, refer to
“Keyless entry system” on pages 3-9, 3-44 and “To oper-
ate using the F.A.S.T.-key” on page 3-21.
