fuel
Petrol-powered vehicles Unleaded petrol octanenumber (EN228) 1600 models, 1800 mod-
els 95 RON or higher
2000 models 90 RON or higher
Diesel-powered vehicles Cetane number (EN590)51 or higherCAUTIONl For petrol-powered vehicles, the use of lea-
ded fuel can result in serious damage to the engine and catalytic converter. Do not use leaded fuel.
l Diesel-powered vehicles are designed to use
only diesel fuel that meets the EN590 stand-
ard.
Use of any other type of diesel fuel (bio die-
sel, methylester, etc.) would adversely affect the engine’s performance and durability.NOTEl Petrol-powered vehicles have the knock con-
trol system so that you can use unleaded pet-
rol 90 RON as an emergent measure in case unleaded petrol 95 RON or higher is notavailable on journey, etc.
In such a case, you don’t need to adjust the
engine specially. In case of using unleaded petrol 90 RON, the engine performance lev-
el is reduced.
l For diesel fuel, due to the separation of par-
affin, the fluidity of the fuel decreases con- siderably as the temperature 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 sta- tions.NOTEl Repeatedly driving short distances at low
speeds can cause deposits to form in the fuel system and engine, resulting in poor starting
and poor acceleration. If these problems oc-
cur, you are advised to add a detergent addi- tive to the gasoline when you refuel the ve- hicle. The additive will remove the deposits,thereby returning the engine to a normal
condition. Be sure to use a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE FUEL SYSTEM
CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive
could make the engine malfunction. For de- tails, please contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l Poor quality petrol can cause problems such
as difficult starting, stalling, engine noise
and hesitation. If you experience these prob- lems, try another brand and/or grade of pet-
rol.
If the check engine warning lamp flashes,
have the system checked as soon as possible at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.E10 type petrol
E00203200022
The petrol engines are compatible with E10
type petrol (containing 10 % ethanol) con- forming to European standards EN 228.
Fuel selection
2-02OGAE15E5General information2

CAUTIONlDo not use more than 10 % concentration of
ethanol (grain alcohol) by volume.
Use of more than 10 % concentration may
lead to damage to your vehicle fuel system,
engine, engine sensors and exhaust system.Filling the fuel tank
E00200204120WARNINGlWhen handling fuel, comply with the safe-
ty regulations displayed by garages and
filling stations.
l Gasoline is highly flammable and explo-
sive. You could be burned or seriously in-
jured when handling it. When refueling
your vehicle, always turn the engine off and keep away from flames, sparks, andsmoking materials. Always handle fuel in
well-ventilated outdoor areas.
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 ignited.WARNINGl Do not move away from the fuel tank fill-
er until refueling is finished. If you moved away and did something else (for exam-
ple, sitting on a seat) part-way through the refueling process, you could pick up afresh charge of static electricity.
l If the tank cap must be replaced, use only
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine part.

Refueling
1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine.
2. The fuel tank filler is located on the rear
left side of your vehicle.
Open the fuel tank filler door by pulling the release lever located on the side of
the driver’s seat.
3. Remove the fuel cap.
Filling the fuel tank
2-03OGAE15E5General information2 LHD RHD

Open the fuel tank filler tube by slowly
turning the cap anticlockwise.
1- Remove
2- Close
CAUTIONl For diesel-powered 1600 models, the fuel
cap does not turn more than 90 degrees.
Turning forcibly could damage the fuel cap.
l Since the fuel system may be under pressure,
remove the fuel cap slowly. This relieves
any pressure or vacuum that might have built up in the fuel tank. If you hear a hissingsound from the cap, wait until it stops before
removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray
out, injuring you or others.
4. While filling with fuel, hang the fuel cap
cord on the hook located on the inside of
the fuel tank filler door.
5. Insert the gun in the tank port as far as it
goes.
CAUTIONl Do not tilt the gun.6.
When the gun stops automatically, do
not fill with fuel any more.
7. Close the fuel cap. [Except for diesel-powered vehicles
1600 models]
To close, turn the fuel cap slowly clock-
wise until you hear clicking sounds, then
gently push the fuel tank filler door closed.
[For diesel-powered 1600 models]
Fit the fuel cap with the cap handle side-
ways and turn it clockwise.Installation of accessories
E00200300963
We recommend you to consult aMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
l The installation of accessories, optional
parts, etc., should only be carried out
within the limits prescribed by law in your country, and in accordance with the
guidelines and warnings contained with-
in the documents accompanying this ve- hicle.
l Installing electric components incorrect-
ly could lead to a fire. Please refer to Modification/alteration to the electrical
or fuel systems section within this own- er’s manual.
Installation of accessories
2-04OGAE15E5General information2Except for diesel-powered vehicles 1600 models Diesel-powered vehicles 1600 models

lUsing a cellular phone or radio set inside
the vehicle without an external antenna
may cause electrical system interference, which could lead to unsafe vehicle oper-ation.
l Tyres and wheels which do not meet
specifications must not be used.
Refer to the “Specifications” section for information regarding wheel and tyre
sizes.
Important points!
Due to large number of accessory and re-
placement parts of different manufactures available in the market, it is not possible, not
only for MITSUBISHI MOTORS , but also
for a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point, to check whether the attach- ment or installation of such parts affects the
overall safety of your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.

Even when such parts are officially author- ized, for example by a “general operators
permit” (an appraisal for the part) or throughthe execution of the part in an officially ap-
proved manner of construction, or when a single operation permit following the attach-
ment or installation of such parts, it cannot be
deduced from that alone, that the driving safety of your vehicle has not been affected.

Consider also that there basically exists no li-
ability on the part of the appraiser or the offi-
cial. Maximum safety can only be ensured
with parts recommended, sold and fitted or installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point ( MITSUBISHI
MOTORS genuine replacement parts and
MITSUBISHI MOTORS accessories). The
same also pertains to modifications of MITSUBISHI vehicles with respect to the
production specifications. For safety reasons, do not attempt any modifications other than
those that follow the recommendations of a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.Modification/alterations to

system* E00201500021This paragraph summarizes the major itemsof the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system
such as the characteristics, operating proce- dures, etc. For details, refer to “Auto Stop &
Go (AS&G) system” on page 6-19.

The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system re- duces the emission of exhaust gases and in- creases fuel efficiency.
The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system auto- matically stops and restarts the engine with-
out the use of the ignition switch or the en- gine switch when the vehicle is stopped, such
as at traffic lights or in a traffic jam.
Activation
E00201600051
The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system is auto- matically activated when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the opera-
tion mode is put in ON.

System characteristics
E00202300055
The principle of the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system is that it adapts to the vehi- cle’s needs (i.e. energy supply). This means
that in certain circumstances the engine will not stop and in other circumstances the en-
gine will restart by itself.
