General information
1-3
1
Methanol Do not operate your vehicle on gasoline containing methanol
(wood alcohol). Using this type of alcohol could adversely
affect the vehicle’s performance and damage critical parts of
the vehicle’s fuel system.Reformulated gasoline Many areas of the country require the use of cleaner burning
fuel referred to as “Reformulated Gasoline”.
Reformulated gasoline contains oxygenates and is specially
blended to reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality.
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation strongly supports the use of
reformulated gasoline. Properly blended reformulated gasoline
has no adverse effect on vehicle performance or the durability
of engine and fuel system. MMT (methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tri-
carbonyl)MMT is a manganese-containing metallic additive that is
blended into some gasolines to increase the octane number.
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation recommends using gasolines
without MMT.
Use of gasolines blended with MMT may adversely affect per-
formance, and cause the malfunction indicator on your instru-
ment panel to come on. If this happens, contact an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice for
assistance.Sulfur in gasoline Your vehicle may have been designed to satisfy California’s
low-emission regulations based on clean-burning low-sulfur
gasoline. Gasoline sold in parts of the country other than Cali-
fornia is allowed to have a higher sulfur content. Using suchgasoline could adversely affect the vehicle’s catalytic converter
and cause the engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE
ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”) to come on. Illumi-
nation of this indicator while you are using high-sulfur gaso-
line does not necessarily mean the vehicle’s emission-control
system is malfunctioning. Your authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer may suggest you try using a different, lower-sulfur
brand of unleaded gasoline to determine whether the problem
is fuel-related.
NOTEPoor-quality gasoline can cause problems such as poor
starting, stalling during idling, abnormal engine noise, and
poor acceleration. If you experience any of these prob-
lems, try using a different brand of gasoline. If the engine
malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or
“Check engine light”) flashes, have the vehicle inspected
as soon as possible by the nearest authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
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 Mitsubishi Motors
Genuine cleaning additive. Using an unsuitable additive
could make the engine malfunction. For details, please
contact the nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

Average speed displayThis displays the average speed from the last reset to the
present.
There are 2 types of mode settings as follows.
For details on how to change the average speed display setting,
refer to “Changing the function settings (With ignition switch
in the “ON” position)” on page 3-174.
Manual reset mode
When the average speed is being displayed, if you hold
down the multi-information meter switch, these calcula-
tions will be reset to zero.
When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position
from the “ACC” or “LOCK” position, the mode setting
changes automatically from manual to auto.
Switching to auto occurs automatically. If switching to
manual mode is done, however, the data from the last
reset is displayed.
Auto reset mode
When the average speed is being displayed, if you hold
down the multi-information meter switch, these calcula-
tions will be reset to zero.
When the ignition switch has been set to the “ACC” or
“LOCK” position for about 4 hours or more, the average
speed display will automatically reset.
NOTEThe average speed display and the average fuel consump-
tion display can be reset separately in both auto reset
mode and manual reset mode.
“---” is displayed when the average speed cannot be mea-
sured.
The initial (default) setting is “Auto reset mode”.
The display setting can be changed to the preferred units
(mph or km/h).
Refer to “Changing the function settings (With ignition
switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-174.
The average speed display memories for auto reset mode
and manual reset mode are erased if the battery is discon-
nected.Average fuel consumption displayThis displays the average fuel consumption from the last reset
to the present.
There are 2 types of mode settings as follows.
For details on how to change the average fuel consumption dis-
play setting, refer to “Changing the function settings (With
ignition switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-174.
The “ ” mark in the momentary fuel gauge shows the average
fuel consumption.
Manual reset mode
When the average fuel consumption is being displayed, if
you hold down the multi-information meter switch, these
calculations will be reset to zero.

7 Catalytic converter
N00937400418
The catalytic converter requires you to use unleaded fuel only.
Leaded gasoline will destroy the emission-control effective-
ness of the converter.
Normally, the catalytic converter does not require maintenance.
However, it is important to keep the engine properly tuned for
the converter to continue to work properly. To reduce the possibility of catalytic converter damage:
Use UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY of the type of rec-
ommended in “Fuel selection”.
Do not drive with an extremely low fuel level. Running
out of gas could damage the catalytic converter.
Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the
vehicle. If the battery is weak or run down, use jumper
cables to properly start the engine.
Do not idle the engine with any spark plug wires discon-
nected or removed, such as when performing diagnostic
tests.
Do not idle the engine for a long time if it is idling
roughly or otherwise obviously malfunctioning.
To prevent the catalytic converter from being damaged
from unburned gas, do not race the engine when turning
off the ignition switch.
Stop driving the vehicle if you think the performance is
noticeably low, or the engine has a malfunction. If you are
not able to stop driving immediately, slow down and drive
for only a short time. Have an inspection made by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice as soon as possible.
In unusual situations involving major engine problems, a
burning odor may indicate severe and abnormal catalytic
converter overheating. If this occurs, stop in a safe place,
shut the engine off and let the vehicle cool. Once the
engine is cool, immediately take your vehicle to an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice for service.
CAUTION
!Damage to the catalytic converter can result if your
vehicle is not kept in proper operating condition. If
the engine malfunctions or misfires, or if your vehi-
cle performance suffers, have it serviced promptly.
Running your vehicle when it is overheated may
result in damage to the converter and vehicle.
WA R N I N G
!Do not park or run your vehicle in areas where com-
bustible materials such as dry grass or leaves can
come in contact with a hot exhaust, since a fire could
occur.Do not put undercoat paint on the catalytic con-
verter.
