MMT
is
a manganese-containing
metallic
additive
that
is blended
into
some
gasolines
to increase the octane numbe
r.
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
instrument
panel
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
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
could
adversely
affect
the
vehicle’
s catalytic
con-
verter
and
cause
the
engine
malfunction
indi-
cator
(“SER
VICE
ENGINE
SOON”
or
“CHECK
ENGINE”)
to
come
on.
Illumina-
tion
of
this
indicator
while
you
are
using
high-sulfur
gasoline
does
not
necessarily
mean
the
vehicle’
s emission-control
system
is
malfunctioning.
Your
authorized
Mitsubishi
Motors
dealer
may
suggest
you
try
using
a
different,
lower
-sulfur
brand
of unleaded
gas-
oline
to
determine
whether
the
problem
is
fuel-related.

such
as poor

If you
experience
any
of
