1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine.
2. The fuel tank filler is located on the rear driver side of your vehicle. The fuel tank filler door can be opened from inside the vehicle with the fuel tankfiller door release lever located at the left side of the driver’s seat. 3. Open the fuel tank filler pipe by slowly turning the cap counterclockwise.
Filling the fuel tank
WA R N I N G Gasoline is highly flammable and explo- sive. You could be burned, seriously injured or killed when handling it. When refueling your vehicle, always turn theengine off and keep away from flames, sparks, and smoking materials. Always handle fuel in well-ventilated outdoorareas. 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 bodycould create a spark that ignites fuel vapor. Perform the whole refueling process (opening the fuel tank filler door, remov- ing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself. Do notlet any other person come near the fuel tank filler. If you allowed a person to help you and that person was carrying staticelectricity, 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.
Fuel tank capacity Vehicles without turbocharger:
15.5 gal (59 liters)
Vehicles with turbocharger:

4. While filling with fuel, store the cap in the cap holder located on the inside of the fueltank filler door.
5. To fill with fuel correctly depends mainly on correct handling of the fuel filler noz- zle. Do not tilt the nozzle. Insert the noz- zle in the tank port as far as it will go. 6. When the nozzle stops automatically, do not attempt to add more fuel. 7. To close, turn the fuel tank filler cap slowly clockwise until you hear clickingsounds, then gently push the fuel tank filler door closed.

WA R N I N G Since the fuel system may be under pres- sure, remove the fuel tank filler cap slowly. This relieves any pressure or vac- uum that might have built up in the fuel tank. If the cap is venting vapor or if youhear a hissing sound, wait until it stops before removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, injuring you or others.
CAUTION Your vehicle can only be operated using unleaded gasoline. Serious engine and cata- lytic converter damage will result if leaded gasoline is used.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 theonboard diagnostic (OBD) system performs a self check. Always tighten the fuel tank filler cap untilyou hear clicking sounds. The indicator will go off after driving several times. If the indicator does not go off, con-tact your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon as possible.

When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, this indicator normally comeson and goes out a few seconds later. A warn- ing is also displayed in the multi-information display.The warning light also illuminates after start-ing the engine under the following condi- tions: When the parking brake is still applied. When the brake fluid level is low. When the brake system circuit is not working properly.
Before driving, be sure that the parking brake is fully released and brake warning light isoff.
N00520500790
This indicator is a part of the onboard diag- nostic (OBD) system which monitors the emissions, engine contro
l system or continu-
ously variable transmission (CVT) control system/Twin Clutch SST control system. If a problem is detected in one of these systems,this indicator illuminates or flashes. When theignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi- tion, this indicator normally comes on and goes off after the engine has started. This indicator will come on if the fuel tank filler cap is not properly tightened. If this indicator comes on and stays on after refuel- ing, stop the engine and check that the cap isproperly tightened. (Turn the cap clockwise until you hear clicking sounds.) If this indicator does not go off after severalseconds or lights up while driving, have the system checked as soon as possible at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your choice.
Warning lights Brake warning light
CAUTION If the brake warning light and the anti-lock braking system warning light are illuminated at the same time, the braking force distribu-tion function will not operate, so the vehicle may be destabilized during sudden braking under the following conditions.
• When the brake warning light does not go out even when the parking brake is released.• When the brake warning light stays onwhile driving.• If the above occurs, avoid sudden brakingand high-speed driving. Park the vehicle in a safe place, and contact an authorized Mit- subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility ofyour choice as soon as possible.
The vehicle should be brought to a halt in the following manner when brake performance is deteriorated.• Confirm that the vehicle slows down whenyou press down on the brake pedal harder than usual. In some cases, the brake pedalmay go all the way to the floor.• Should the brakes fail, use engine brakingto reduce your speed and slowly apply the parking brake. Depress the brake pedal to illuminate thestop lights to alert the vehicles behind you.
Do not suddenly apply the parking brake while driving. This may cause the rear wheels to lock and cause an accident.CAUTION
