Filling the fuel tank 3-4 General information

All-wheel drive vehicles: 15.8 gal (60 L) Front-wheel drive vehi
cles: 16.6 gal (63 L)
1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine. 2. The fuel tank filler is located on the rear driver side of your vehicle. The fuel tank filler door can be openedfrom inside the vehicle with the fuel tank filler door release lever located at the left side of the driver’s seat. 3. Open the fuel tank filler pipe by slowly turning the fuel tank filler cap counter- clockwise.
 Before removing the fuel tank filler cap, be sure to get rid of your body’s staticelectricity by touching a metal part of thecar or fuel pump. Any
static electricity on
your body could create a spark that ignites fuel vapor. 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 near the fuel tank
filler. If you allowed
a person to help you
and that person was ca
rrying static elec-
tricity, fuel vapor could be ignited. Do not move away from
the fuel tank filler
until refueling is fi
nished. If you moved
away and did somethin
g else (for example,
sitting on a seat) part-way through the refueling process, you could pick up a fresh charge of st
atic electricity.
Be careful not to inhale fuel vapor. Fuel contains toxic substances. Keep the doors and wi
ndows closed while
refueling the vehicle. If they were open,fuel vapor could ge
t into the cabin.

1- Remove 2- CloseWA R N I N G Since the fuel system may be under pres- sure, remove the fuel tank filler capslowly. This relieves
any pressure or vac-
uum that might have built up in the fuel tank. If the cap is venting vapor or if youhear a hissing sound, wait until the sound stops before removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, in
juring you or others.
NOTE
While filling with fuel
, hang the fuel cap on
the hook (A) located on the inside surface ofthe fuel tank filler door.

Your vehicle has seat
belts and other safety
features that help protect you and your pas- sengers in an accident.Seat belts are the most important safety device. When worn properly, seat belts can reduce the chance of serious injury or deathin various types of crashes. For added protec- tion during a severe fr
ontal collision, your
vehicle has a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) with airbags for the driver and passen- gers. The seats, head restraints, and doorlocks also are safety equipment, which must be used correctly. Always check the following before you drive: That everyone in your vehicle is properly wearing their seat belt. That infants and small children are prop- erly secured in an appropriate child restraint system in the rear seat. That all doors are fully closed and locked.  That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly adjusted.
Safety equipment cannot prevent injury or death in all motor ve
hicle accidents. How-
ever, you can help reduce the risk of injury or death, by following the instructions in thismanual.

and use appropriate
child restraint systems.CAUTION Make sure that the seat is adjusted by an adult. If it is adjusted by a child, an unex- pected accident might occur. Do not place a cushion
or the like between
your back and the seatback while driving. The effectiveness of the head restraints willbe reduced in the event of an accident. When sliding the seat

an accident or sud-
den stop, all seatbacks should be kept inthe upright position while the vehicle is in motion. Seat belt performance during an accidentcan be adversely affect
ed if the seatbacks
are reclined. The more a seatback is reclined, the more likely seat belt perfor-mance will be adversely affected. If the seat belt is not proper
ly positioned against
the body during an accident, there isincreased risk you will slide under the belt and receive serious
injury or death.

All seats are equipped with a seat belt which uses one combined lap-and-shoulder belt with an emergency locking retractor. This system is designed to provide both com- fort and safety. It perm
its full extension and
automatic retraction of the belts during nor- mal vehicle operation.
A sensing device
inside the belt retractor is designed to lock the retractor in the event of a sudden change inthe vehicle’s motion. 1. Occupants should always
sit back in their
seats with their backs against the upright seatback. To reduce
the risk of serious
injury or death during deployment of the airbag, adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible while maintaining a positionthat still enables you to fully apply the pedals, easily contro
l the steering wheel,
and safely operate the vehicle. The frontpassenger seat should also be moved as far back as possible.
Refer to “Supple-
mental Restraint Syst
em (SRS) - airbag”
on page 4-33. Also refer to “To adjust the seat forward or backward” on page 4-5.
 To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or death duri
ng deployment of the
driver’s airbag, always
properly wear the
seat belt and adjust th
e driver’s seat as far
back as possible while maintaining a posi- tion that still enables
you to fully apply the
pedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely operate the vehicle. To reduce the risk to a front seat passen- ger of serious injury or death from a deploying airbag, make sure the passengeralways wears the seat belt properly, remains seated all the way back and upright in their seat,
and moves the seat as
far back as possible. Refer to “Supplemen- tal Restraint System (SRS) - airbag” on page 4-33 for additional information. Never hold an infant
or child in your arms
or on your lap when ri
ding in this vehicle
even when you are we
aring your seat belt.
Never place any part of the seat belt you are wearing around an infant or child.Failure to follow these simple instructions creates a risk of serious injury or death to your child in the even
t of an accident or
sudden stop.WA R N I N G
 Children 12 years ol
d and under should
always ride in the re
ar seat and be prop-
erly restrained. This reduces their risk ofserious injury or de
ath in an accident,
especially due to a deploying front passen- ger’s airbag. Refer to
“Child restraint sys-
tems” on page 4-26 for additional information. Any child who is t
oo small to properly
wear a seat belt must be properly restrained in an
appropriate child
restraint system. Infants MUST be placed in a rear-facing child safety seat and
positioned in the rear
seat. In the event of an ac
cident, all seat belt
assemblies, including retractors and attachment hardware, should be inspectedby an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to determine whether replacement is necessary.

4. The lap part of the belt must always be worn low and snug across the hips. Pullup on the shoulder portion of the belt to take up any slack
in the lap belt.
WA R N I N GTo reduce the risk of serious injury or death in the event of
an accident or sud-
den stop, all seatbacks should be kept in the upright position wh
ile the vehicle is in
motion. Seat belt performance during an accident can be adversely affect
ed if the seatbacks

NOTE
If the seat belt locks
up and cannot be pulled
out, pull it once with force and let it retract all the way. Then, pull the belt out
slowly once again.
NOTE
With the exception of the seat belt for the driver, the seat belts in all other seating posi-tions are equipped with an Automatic Lock- ing Retractor (ALR) function. If you pull the seat belt fully out of the retractor, the retrac-tor will switch to its ALR child restraint installation function
(see page 4-31).
When the ALR function has been activated,the seat belt will only re
tract. If this happens,
let the belt fully retract, then pull the seat belt back out, repeating steps 1 through 4.
