Mitsubishi Motors Corporation strongly sup- ports the use of reform
ulated gasoline. Prop-
erly blended reformul
ated gasoline has no
adverse effect on vehicle performance or the durability of the engine and the fuel system. MMT is a manganese-containing metallic additive that is blende
d into some gasolines
to increase the octa
ne number. Mitsubishi
Motors Corporation recommends using gaso- lines without MMT. Use of gasolines blended with MMT mayadversely affect performance, and cause the malfunction indicator on your instrument panel to come on. If this happens, contact anauthorized 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 regulations based on clean-burning low-sulfur gasoline.Gasoline sold in parts of the country other than California is allowed to have a higher sulfur content. Using such gasoline couldadversely affect the ve
hicle’s catalytic con-
verter and cause the e
ngine malfunction indi-
cator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”)
to come on. Illumina-
tion of this indicator
while using high-sulfur
gasoline does not necessa
rily mean the vehi-
cle’s emission-control
system is malfunction-
ing. Your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer may suggest using a different, lower- sulfur brand of unleaded gasoline to deter-mine if the problem is fuel-related.
N00301101936
MMT (methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl) Sulfur in gasoline
NOTE
 Poor-quality gasoline
can cause problems
such as hard starting, stalling during idling,abnormal engine noise
, and poor accelera-
tion. If you experience any of these prob- lems, try using a differ
ent brand of gasoline.
If the engine malfunc
tion indicator (“SER-
VICE 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 s
hort distances at low
speeds can cause deposits to form in the fuelsystem and engine, resu
lting in hard starting
and poor acceleration.
If these problems
occur, you are advised to add a detergent additive to the gasoline when you refuel thevehicle. The additive
will remove the depos-
its, thereby returning the engine to a normal condition. Be sure
to use a Mitsubishi
Motors Genuine cleani
ng additive. Using an
unsuitable additive could make an engine malfunction. For details,
please contact the
nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
Filling the fuel tank
WA R N I N G Gasoline is highly flammable and explo- sive. You could be burned, seriouslyinjured or killed when handling it. When refueling your vehicle,
always turn the
engine off and keep
away from flames,
sparks, and smoking materials. Always handle fuel in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Before removing the fuel tank filler cap, be sure to get rid of your body’s static electricity by touching a metal part of thecar or fuel pump. Any
static electricity on
your body could create a spark that ignites fuel vapor.NOTE

4. Fueling correctly depends mainly on cor- rect handling of the fuel filler nozzle. Donot tilt the nozzle. Insert the nozzle in the fuel tank filler port as far as it goes. 5. When the nozzle stops automatically, do not add more fuel. 6. To re-install, turn the fuel tank filler pipe cap slowly clockwise
until you hear click-
ing sounds, then gently push the fuel tank filler door closed.

ble state and/or fe
deral regulations.
DAMAGE OR PERFORMANCE PROB- LEMS RESULTING FROM MODIFICA- TIONS TO OR RACING OF YOUR VEHICLE ARE NOT COVERED UNDERWA R R A N T Y. Examples of modifications to your vehicle that can cause damage or performance prob- lems include the following:  Failure to use Mits

parts  Failure to use required fuel and fluids  Failure to use proper
size tires and wheels
 Modification of the fu
el, intake, exhaust,
emission, suspension,
engine, drive train
or electrical wiring systems  Modification of any onboard com- puter/control module, including repro-gramming, or replac
ing/adding chips to
any onboard computer/control module
Review the Warranty
and Maintenance Man-
ual for further details
regarding warranty cov-
erage.
CAUTION Your vehicle can only be operated using unleaded gasoline. Seri
ous engine and cata-
lytic 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 cr
ack 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 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 th
e fuel tank filler cap,
use only the cap specified for your modelvehicle.NOTE
 If the fuel tank filler cap is not tight while driving, the engine
malfunction indicator
(“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or “Checkengine light”) may come on when the onboard diagnostic (OBD) system performs a self check.Always tighten the fu
el tank filler cap until
you hear at least 3 clicks. The indicator will go of
f after several driving
cycles. If the indicato
r does not go off, con-
tact your authorized
Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair faci
lity of your choice as
soon as possible.

The electronically controlled 4WD systemhelps improve accelera
tion and vehicle stabil-
ity by controlling the fr
ont-rear distribution of
driving torque using th
e electronic control
coupling in the rear differential assembly.
Select the drive mode from the following 3 types to suit the driving conditions.
Parking

When the CVT makes no speed change

NOTE
 [For vehicles equipped with mono-color liq- uid crystal display meter]When the selector le
ver position indicator
blinks while you are driving, there could be a malfunction in the automatic transmission system or CVT fluid
temperature becomes
abnormally high. [For vehicles equipped with color liquid crystal display meter] When the warning display and “SLOW DOWN” or the wa
rning display and
“SERVICE REQUIRED” appear on the information screen in the multi-informationdisplay, there could be
a malfunction in the
CVT. Refer to “Continuously variable trans- mission (CVT): Warning display” on page5-70.
