Your
vehicle
is designed
to use
unleaded
gas-
oline
only
. It is
equipped
with
a fuel
filler
tube
especially
designed
to
accept
only
a
small
diameter
unlead
ed gasolin
e dispensin
g
nozzle. In
the
United
States,
fuel
suppliers
are
required
by
law
to add
deter
gents
to their
gas-
oline
to
minimize
fuel-injector
fouling
and
minimize
intake-valve
deposits.
Deter
gent
gasoline
helps
keep
your
engine
in
tune
and
your
emission-control
system
working
prop-
erly
.
Your
vehicle
is
designed
to
operate
on
unleaded
gasoline
having
a minimum
octane
number of 87 [(MON+RON)/2], or 91 RON.MON: Motor Octane NumberRON: Research Octane Number 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
some
areas
of the
country
. Such
fuel
can
be
used
in
your vehicle.A mixture
of
up
to 10
%
ethanol
(grain
alco-
hol)
and
90% unlead
ed gasolin
e 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
this
type
of
alcohol
could
adversely
affect
the
vehicle
’s performance
and
damage
critical
parts
of the
vehicle’
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
blended
to
reduce
vehicle
emissions and improve air quality
.
Mitsubish
i Motor
s Co
rporation
strongly
sup-
ports
the
use
of
reformulated
gasoline.
Prop-
erly
blended
reformulated
gasoline
has
no
adverse
effect
on
vehicle
performance
or
the
durability of the engine and fuel system.

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

or
“CHECK

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.
