Many areas of the country require the use of cleaner burning fuel referred to as “Reformu-lated Gasoline”. Reformulated gasoline contains oxygenates and is specially blended to reduce vehicleemissions and improve air quality. Mitsubishi Motors Cor
poration strongly sup-
ports the use of reformulated gasoline. Prop-erly blended reformulated gasoline has noadverse effect on vehicle performance or the durability of engine and fuel system. MMT is a manganese-containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasolinesto increase the octane number. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation recommends using gasolines without MMT.Use of gasolines blended with MMT may adversely affect performance, and cause the malfunction indicator on your instrumentpanel to come on. If this happens, contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice for assistance.
Your vehicle may have been designed to sat- isfy California’s low-emission regulationsbased on clean-burning low-sulfur gasoline. Gasoline sold in parts of the country other than California is allowed to have a highersulfur content. Using such gasoline could adversely affect the vehicle’s catalytic con- verter and cause the engine malfunction indi-cator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or“Check engine light”) to come on. Illumina- tion of this indicator while you are using high-sulfur gasoline does not necessarilymean the vehicle’s emis
sion-control system is
malfunctioning. Your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer may suggest you try using adifferent, lower-sulfur brand of unleaded gas- oline to determine whether the problem is fuel-related.
Reformulated gasoline MMT (methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl)
Sulfur in gasoline
NOTE
Poor-quality gasoline can cause problems such as poor starting,
stalling during idling,
abnormal engine noise, and poor accelera- tion. If you experience any of these prob- lems, try using a different brand of gasoline.If the engine malfunction indicator (“SER- VICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”) flashes, have the vehicle inspected assoon 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 fuelsystem and engine, resulting in poor starting and poor acceleration. If these problems occur, you are advised to add a detergentadditive to the gasoline when you refuel the vehicle. The additive will remove the depos- its, thereby returning the engine to a normalcondition. Be sure to use a Mitsubishi Motors Genuine cleaning additive. Using an unsuitable additive could make the enginemalfunction. For details, please contact the nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

CAUTION To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top-off” the fuel tank. Spilled fuel coulddiscolor, stain, or crack the vehicle’s paint- work. If fuel spills on the paintwork, wipe it off with a soft cloth.WA R N I N G Make sure the fuel cap is securely closed. If the fuel cap is 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.
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 performsa self check. Always tighten the fuel tank filler cap until you hear clicking sounds.The indicator will go off after driving several times.

The heated seats can be operated when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. The indicator light (A) will illuminate while the heater is on.
1- To move to forward direction 2- To recline backwardWA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death in the event of an accident or sud- den stop, all seatbacks should be kept inthe upright position while the vehicle is in motion. Seat belt performance during an accidentcan be adversely affected if the seatbacks are reclined. The more a seatback is reclined, the more likely seat belt perfor-mance will be adversely affected. If the seat belt is not properly positioned against the body during an accident, there isincreased risk you will slide under the belt and receive serious injury or death.

WA R N I N G Persons who are unable to feel tempera- ture change or skin pain due to age, ill- ness, injury, medication, alcohol use, fatigue or other physical conditions or who have sensitive skin may suffer burnswhen using the heated seat even at low temperatures. To reduce the risk of burns, people with such conditions must use carewhen using the heated seat.CAUTION Switch off the seat heaters when not in use. Operate the heaters at the “HI” position forquick heating. After the seat has become warm, set the heater switch to the “LO” posi- tion to keep it warm. Slight variations in theseat temperature may be felt while using the heated seats. This is caused by the operation of the heater’s internal thermostat and doesnot indicate a malfunction. 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 ele- ment to overheat. When cleaning the seat, do not use benzine, kerosene, gasoline, alcohol, or other organic solvents; doing so can cause damage notonly to the surface of th
e seat, but also to the
heater.

Warning light
NOTE
If the seat belt locks up and cannot be pulled out, pull it once with force and let it retractall the way. Then, pull the belt out slowly once again.
NOTE
With the exception of the seat belt for the driver, the seat belts in all other seating posi- tions are equipped with an Automatic Lock- ing Retractor (ALR) function. If you pull theseat belt fully out of the retractor, the retrac- tor will switch to its ALR child restraint installation function (see page 4-17).When the ALR function has been activated, the seat belt will only retract. If this happens, let the belt fully retract, then pull the seatbelt back out, repeating steps 1 through 4.
WA R N I N G Be sure the lap belt portion fits snugly and is worn as low as possible across the hips, not around the waist. Failure to follow this instruction will increase the risk of serious injury or death in the
event of an accident.
Be sure the seat belt webbing is not twisted when worn. Twisted webbing mayadversely affect seat belt performance.
