Your vehicle is designe 
d to use unleaded gas- 
oline only. It is equipped with a fuel tank filler pipe specifically  
designed to accept only 
a small diameter unlea 
ded gasoline dispens- 
ing nozzle. In the United States, fuel suppliers are required by law to add detergents to their gas- 
oline to minimize fuel-injector clogging and minimize intake-valve  
deposits. Detergent 
gasoline helps keep your engine in tune and your emission-control system working prop- erly. Your vehicle is de 
signed to operate on 
unleaded gasoline having a minimum octane number of 87 [(MON+RON)/2] or 91 RON. Unleaded gasoline having a minimum octane number of 87 [(MON+RON)/2] or 91 RON may be used, though it is recommended yourvehicle be operated on premium grade unleaded gasoline having a minimum octane number of 91 [(MON+RON)/2], or 95 RON. To obtain maximum performance, premium gasoline is recommended.  Gasoline sold at some 
 service stations con- 
tains oxygenates such as ethanol, although 
the oxygenates may not be identified by those names. Oxygenates are required in someareas of the country. Oxygenated fuel can be used in your vehicle. A mixture of up to 10 % ethanol (grain alco- hol) and 90 % unleaded gasoline may be used in your vehicle, provided the octane number is at least as high as 
 that recommended for 
unleaded gasoline. Do not operate your vehicle on gasoline con- taining methanol (wood alcohol). Using thistype of alcohol could adversely affect the vehicle’s performance  
and damage critical 
parts of the vehicl 
e’s fuel system. 
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 ble 
nded to reduce vehicle 
emissions and improve air quality.

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-ever you refuel your  
vehicle, stop the 
engine and keep fl 
ames, sparks, and 
smoking materials away from the vehicle.Always handle fuel in well-ventilated out- door areas.CAUTION Using leaded gasoline
 in your vehicle will 
damage the engine, ca 
talytic converter, and 
the oxygen sensors. Also, using leaded gaso- line is illegal, and  
will void your warranty

, catalytic converter, 
and oxygen sensors.

To reduce the possibili 
ty of catalytic con- 
verter damage:  Use UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY of the type of recommended in the “Fuel selection”. Do not drive with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of gas could damage the catalytic converter. Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle. If the battery is weak or run down, use jumper cables toproperly start the engine. 
 Do not idle the engine with any spark plug wires disconnected or removed, such aswhen performing  
diagnosti
c tests. 
 Do not idle the engine
 for a long time if it 
is idling roughly or otherwise obviouslymalfunctioning.  To prevent the catalytic converter from being damaged from unburned gas, do notrace the engine when turning off the igni- tion switch.  Stop driving the vehicle if you think the performance is noticeably low, or the engine has a malfunction such as with theignition, etc. If you are not able to stop driving immediately,  
slow down and drive 
for only a short time. Have your vehiclechecked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon 
 as possible. 
 In unusual situations involving major engine problems, a burning odor may indicate severe and abnormal catalyticconverter overheating.  
If this occurs, stop 
in a safe place, shut the engine off and let the vehicle cool. Once  
the engine is cool, 
immediately take your  
vehicle to a dealer 
or a repair facility of your choice for ser- vice.

Use the engine hood release lever (located under the instrument panel near the driver’s door) to unlock the engine hood. Pull the lever toward you to release the engine hood latch.
CAUTION Damage to the catalyti
c converter can result 
if your vehicle is not  
kept in proper operating 
condition. If the engine 
 malfunctions or mis- 
fires, or if your vehi 
cle performance suffers, 
have it serviced promptly. Running your vehicle when it is  
overheated may result in 
damage to the converter and vehicle.WA R N I N G Do not park or run your vehicle in areas where combustible materials such as dry grass or leaves can come 
 in contact with a 
hot exhaust, since a fire could occur. Do not put undercoat paint on the cata- lytic converter.
Engine hood To open 
WA R N I N G Never use the release lever to unlatch the engine hood while the  
vehicle is in motion.
Do not drive your vehicle unless the engine hood is locked.
