Recom-
mended
fuel
Petrol-powered vehicles Unleaded petrol octanenumber (EN228) 90 RON or higher (3000
models)
95 RON or higher (3800
models)
If the “PREMIUM FUEL ONLY” label is attached tothe fuel tank filler door, fill
it up with premium fuel.
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 EN 590 stand-
ard.
Use of any other type of diesel fuel would adversely affect the engine’s performance
and durability.CAUTIONl For diesel-powered vehicles, if proper “win-
ter” fuel is not used in winter, the diesel pre-
heat indication lamp may blink and the en- gine speed may not rise above the idling speed because of fuel freezing. In this case,
keep the engine idling for about ten minutes,
then turn off the ignition switch and immedi- ately turn it on again to confirm that the die-
sel preheat indication lamp is off. (Refer to “Diesel preheat indication lamp” on page
5-09.)
NOTEl It is advisable to sufficiently warm up the
engine after starting it when the outside tem-
perature is below zero °C.
l Due to the separation of paraffin, the fluidity
of the fuel decreases considerably 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 The 3800 models have the knock control
system so that you can use unleaded petrol
91 RON as an emergent measure in case un-
leaded petrol 95 RON or higher is not avail-
able on journey, etc. In such a case, you don’t need to adjust the engine specially.
In case of using unleaded petrol 91 RON ,
the engine performance level is reduced.
l In petrol-powered vehicles, repeatedly driv-
ing short distances at low speeds can cause
deposits to form in the fuel system and en-
gine, resulting in poor starting and poor ac-
celeration.
If these problems occur, you are advised to add a detergent additive to the gasoline
when you refuel the vehicle. 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 un-
suitable additive could make the engine mal- function. For details, please contact your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice 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.

NOTElIn diesel-powered vehicles, poor-quality die-
sel fuel can cause deposits form in the injec- tor, resulting in black smoke and rough
idling.
If these problems occur, you are advised to add a cleaning additive to the diesel fuel
when you refuel the vehicle.
The additive will break up and remove the deposits, thereby returning the engine to anormal condition.
Be sure to use a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
GENUINE DIESEL FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive
could make the engine malfunction. For de- tails, please contact your MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.E10 type petrol
E00203200019
The petrol engines are compatible with E10
type petrol (containing 10 % ethanol) con- forming to European standards EN 228.
CAUTIONl Do 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
E00200204087WARNINGlWhen handling fuel, comply with the safe-
ty regulations displayed by garages and filling stations.
l Before removing the fuel tank filler tube
cap, be sure to get rid of your body’s stat-
ic electricity by touching a metal part of the car or fuel pump. Any static electricity
on your body could create a spark that ig-
nites fuel vapour.
l Perform the whole refueling process
(opening the fuel tank filler door, remov-
ing the fuel tank filler tube 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.
l Do not move away from the fuel tank fill-
er door until refueling is finished. If you moved away and did something else (for
example, cleaning your windscreen) part- way through the refueling process, you
could pick up a fresh charge of static elec-
tricity.
l If the fuel tank filler tube cap must be re-
placed, use only a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS genuine part.
Fuel tank capacity
3-door models: 69 litres

Refueling
1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine.
2. The fuel tank filler is located on the rear
right side of your vehicle.
