5. To fill with fuel correctly depends mainly on correct han-dling of the fuel filler nozzle. Do not tilt the nozzle. Insert
the nozzle in the fuel tank filler port as far as it goes.
6. When the nozzle stops automatically, do not try to add more fuel.
7. To close, turn the fuel tank filler pipe cap slowly clock- wise until you hear clicking sounds, then gently push the
fuel tank filler door closed.
NOTE If the fuel tank filler cap is not tight while driving, the
engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE
SOON” or “Check engine light”) may come on when the
onboard diagnostic (OBD) system performs a self check.
Always tighten the fuel tank filler cap until you hear at
least 3 clicks.
The indicator will go off after driving several times. If the
indicator does not go off, contact your authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice as soon as possible.
CAUTION
!Your vehicle can only be operated using unleaded
gasoline. Serious engine and catalytic converter
damage will result if leaded gasoline is filled into
these vehicles, and consequently, this must never be
attempted.
CAUTION
!To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top-
off” the fuel tank. Spilled fuel could discolor, stain,
or crack the vehicle’s paintwork. If fuel spills on the
paintwork, wipe it off with a soft cloth.
WARNING
!Make sure the fuel tank filler cap is securely closed.
If the fuel cap were loose, fuel could leak, resulting
in a fire.
CAUTION
! If you need to replace the fuel tank filler cap, use
only the cap specified for your model vehicle.

WARNING
!Persons who are unable to feel temperature change
or skin pain due to age, illness, injury, medication,
alcohol use, fatigue or other physical conditions or
who have sensitive skin may suffer burns when
using the heated seat even at low temperatures. To
reduce the risk of burns, people with such conditions
must use care when using the heated seat.
CAUTION
!Switch off the heated seats when not in use. Operate
the heaters at the “HI” position for quick heating.
After the seat has become warm, set the heater
switch to the “LO” position to keep it warm. Slight
variations in the seat temperature may be felt while
using the heated seats. This is caused by the opera-
tion of the heater’s internal thermostat and does not
indicate a malfunction.
CAUTION
! Do not place heavy objects on the seat or stick pins,
needles, or other pointed objects into the seat.Do not place a blanket, cushion, or other insulating
material on the seat while using the heater; doing so
can cause the heater element to overheat.When cleaning the seat, do not use benzine, kero-
sene, gasoline, alcohol, or other organic solvents;
doing so can cause damage not only to the surface of
the seat, but also to the heater.If water or any other liquid is spilled on the seat,
allow it to dry thoroughly before attempting to use
the heater. Turn the heater off immediately if it
appears to be malfunctioning during use.

the seat belt.

operation mode is put in ON without the driver’s seat belt
being fastened, a warning light will come on and a tone will
sound for approximately 6 seconds to remind you to fasten
your seat belt.

minute from when the ignition switch or the engine switch is
operated, the warning light will come on and blink repeatedly
and the tone will sound intermittently.
The warning light and the tone will stop after approximately 90
seconds.If you then repeatedly stop and start your vehicle with the seat
belt unfastened, the warning light/display and tone will remind
you to fasten your seat belt every time the vehicle starts mov-
ing. You will also be reminded to fasten your seat belt in this
way when you remove your seat belt while driving. The warn-
ing light and the tone go off when the seat belt is fastened.
NOTE
At the same time, “FASTEN SEAT BELT” will be dis-
played on the information screen in the multi-information
display.
WARNING
! In order to reduce the risk of serious injury or death
in an accident, always fasten your own seat belt. Do
not allow anyone to ride in your vehicle unless he or
she is also seated and fastening a seat belt. Children
should additionally be restrained in a secure child
restraint system.

The seat belt pre-tensioner system includes the following com-
ponents:
The airbag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic
parts of the system whenever the ignition switch or the opera-
tion mode is under the following conditions. These include all
of the items listed above and all related wiring.
[Except for vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key]
The ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.
[Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key]
The operation mode is in ON.The seat belt pre-tensioners will operate under the same condi-
tions as the airbag control unit.
When the seat belt pre-tensioners activate, some smoke is
released and a loud noise will be heard. The smoke is not harm-
ful, but care should be taken not to intentionally inhale it, as it
may cause some temporary irritation to people with respiratory
problems.
Even in the event of a severe impact, the pre-tensioners will not
operate if the seat belts are not fastened. The seat belt pre-ten-
sioners may not activate in certain collisions, even though the
vehicle may appear to be severely damaged. Such non-activa-
tion does not mean that something is wrong with the seat belt
pre-tensioner system, but rather that the collision forces were
not severe enough to activate the system.1- SRS warning light

WARNING
!
The seat belt pre-tensioner system is designed to
work only once. After the seat belt pre-tensioners
have been activated, they will not work again. They
must promptly be replaced and the entire seat belt
pre-tensioner system inspected by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
