Fuel selectionE00200102907Recommended fuelCetane number (EN590)
51 or higherCAUTIONlYour vehicle is designed to use only diesel
fuel that meets the EN590 standard.
Use of any other type of diesel fuel would
adversely affect the engine’s performance
and durability.
NOTE
l Due to the separation of paraffin, the fluidity
of the fuel decreases considerably as the tem-
perature falls.
Because  of  this  fact  there  are  two  kinds  of
fuel: “summer” and “winter”.
This must be considered in winter use.
Select  either  of  the  two  kinds  of  fuel  in  ac-
cordance with ambient temperature. Above -5 °C: “Summer” diesel
Below -5 °C: “Winter” diesel
When  travelling  abroad,  find  out  in  advance
about the fuels served in local service stations.
l Poor-quality diesel fuel can cause deposits to
form in the injector, resulting in black smoke
and rough idling.
If  these  problems  occur,  you  are  advised  to
add  a  cleaning  additive  to  the  diesel  fuel
when you refuel the vehicle.
The additive will break up and remove the de-
posits,  thereby  returning  the  engine  to  a  nor-
mal condition.
Be  sure  to  use  a  MITSUBISHI MOTORS
GENUINE  DIESEL  FUEL  SYSTEM
CLEANER.  Using  an  unsuitable  additive
could  make  the  engine  malfunction.  For  de-
tails,  please  contact  a  MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.Filling the fuel tank E00200202025WARNINGlWhen handling fuel, comply with the safe-
ty  regulations  displayed  by  garages  and
filling stations.
l 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  the
fuel  pump.  Any  static  electricity  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  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  vapour  could  be  ig-
nited.
l Do not move away from the fuel tank fill-
er  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 tank cap must be replaced, use only
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS original part.
Fuel tank capacity
75 litres
Refueling 1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine.

2.The  fuel  tank  filler  is  located  on  the  rear  left
side of your vehicle.
Type 1
Open  the  fuel  tank  filler  door  with  the  re-
lease lever located below the instrument panel.3. Open the fuel tank filler tube by slowly turn-
ing the cap anticlockwise.
A- Remove B- Close
Type 2
Slide  the  cover  (1).  Insert  the  key  in  the  cap
(2) and unlock it.
Turn the cap and remove it.
CAUTIONl 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. 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 accessoriesE00200300875
We  recommend  you  to  consult  your  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.
 Even  when  such  parts  are  officially  authorized,  for
example  by  a  “general  operators  permit”  (an  ap-
praisal for the part) or through the execution of the
part  in  an  officially  approved  manner  of  construc-
tion,  or  when  a  single  operation  permit  following
the  attachment  or  installation  of  such  parts,  it  can-
not be deduced from that alone, that the driving safe-
ty of your vehicle has not been affected.
 
Consider also that there basically exists no liability
on  the  part  of  the  appraiser  or  the  official.  Only  in
the case of parts ( MITSUBISHI MOTORS original
replacement  or  exchange  parts  as  well  as
MITSUBISHI  MOTORS   genuine  accessories)  that
are  recommended  and  released  by  a  MITSUBISHI
MOTORS  Authorized Service Point and that are at-
tached  or  installed  by  a  MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized  Service  Point  can  you  assume,  that  op-
timal safety has been provided. The same also per-
tains  to  modifications  of  MITSUBISHI  vehicle
with  respect  to  the  production  specifications.  For
your own safety, in such cases, you should only un-
dertake  modifications  according  to  the  recommen-
dations  of  a  MITSUBISHI  MOTORS   Authorized
Service Point.Modification/alterations to the
electrical or fuel systems E00200400238
MITSUBISHI  MOTORS  CORPORATION   has  al-
ways  manufactured  safe,  high  quality  vehicles.  In
order to maintain this safety and quality, it is impor-
tant  that  any  accessory  that  is  to  be  fitted,  or  any
modifications carried out which involve the electri-
cal or fuel systems, should be carried out in accord-
ance with MITSUBISHI guidelines.CAUTIONl If  the  wiring  interferes  with  any  part  of
the  vehicle  bodywork  or  improper  instal-
lation  methods  are  used,  i.e.  protective
fuses  not  installed,  etc.),  electronic  devi-
ces may be adversely affected, possibly re-
sulting  in  an  electrical  fire  or  other  fail-
ures that may cause an accident.

WARNINGl When  taking  a  key  on  flights,  do  not
press  any  switches  on  the  key  while  on
the  plane.  If  a  switch  is  pressed  on  the
plane,  the  key  emits  electromagnetic
waves,  which  could  adversely  affect  the
plane’s flight operation.
When  carrying  a  key  in  a  bag,  be  careful
that  no  switches  on  the  key  can  be  easily
pressed by mistake.
NOTE
l The  key  number  is  stamped  on  the  tag  as  in-
dicated in the illustration.
Make  a  record  of  the  key  number  and  store
the  key  and  key  number  tag  in  separate  pla-
ces,  so  that  you  can  order  a  key  in  the  event
the original keys are lost.
l The key is a precision electronic device with
a  built-in  signal  transmitter.  Please  observe
the  following  in  order  to  prevent  a  malfunc-
tion. •Do not leave in a place that is exposed to
direct  sunlight,  for  example  on  the  dash-
board.
• Do not disassemble or modify.
• Do  not  excessively  bend  the  key  or  sub-
ject it to strong impacts.
• Do not expose to water.
• Keep away from magnetic key holders.
• Keep  away  from  audio  systems,  personal
computers,  TVs,  and  other  equipment
that generates a magnetic field.
• Do  not  clean  with  ultrasonic  cleaners  or
similar equipment.
• Do not leave the key where it may be ex-
posed to high temperature or high humid-
ity.
l The  engine  is  designed  so  that  it  will  not
start if the ID code registered in the immobil-
izer  computer  and  the  key’s  ID  code  do  not
match. Refer to the “Electronic immobilizer”
section for details and key usage.
