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 (bio die-
sel, methylester, etc.) would adversely affect the engine’s performance and durability.NOTEl Petrol-powered vehicles have the knock con-
trol system so that you can use unleaded pet-
rol 90 RON as an emergent measure in case unleaded petrol 95 RON or higher is notavailable on journey, etc.
In such a case, you don’t need to adjust the
engine specially. In case of using unleaded petrol 90 RON, the engine performance lev-
el is reduced.
l For diesel fuel, due to the separation of par-
affin, the fluidity of the fuel decreases con- siderably 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 Repeatedly driving short distances at low
speeds can cause deposits to form in the fuel system and engine, resulting in poor starting
and poor acceleration. If these problems oc-
cur, you are advised to add a detergent addi- tive to the gasoline when you refuel the ve- hicle. 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 unsuitable additive
could make the engine malfunction. For de- tails, please contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service 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.E10 type petrol

Open the fuel tank filler tube by slowly
turning the cap anticlockwise.
1- Remove
2- Close
CAUTIONl For diesel-powered 1600 models, the fuel
cap does not turn more than 90 degrees.
Turning forcibly could damage the fuel cap.
l Since the fuel system may be under pressure,
remove the fuel cap slowly. This relieves
any pressure or vacuum that might have built up in the fuel tank. If you hear a hissingsound from the cap, wait until it stops before
removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray
out, injuring you or others.
4. While filling with fuel, hang the fuel cap
cord on the hook located on the inside of
the fuel tank filler door.
5. Insert the gun in the tank port as far as it
goes.
CAUTIONl Do not tilt the gun.6.
When the gun stops automatically, do
not fill with fuel any more.
7. Close the fuel cap. [Except for diesel-powered vehicles
1600 models]
To close, turn the fuel cap slowly clock-
wise until you hear clicking sounds, then
gently push the fuel tank filler door closed.
[For diesel-powered 1600 models]
Fit the fuel cap with the cap handle side-
ways and turn it clockwise.Installation of accessories

The principle of the AS&G system is that it
adapts to the vehicle’s needs (i.e. energy sup- ply). This means that in certain circumstancesthe engine will not stop and in other circum-
stances the engine will restart by itself.
Circumstances when the engine
will restart by itself
E00202400027
l The interior temperature rises and the air
conditioning starts operating in order to lower the temperature.
l Electric power consumption is high.
l The brake pedal is depressed repeatedly.
l Vehicle speed is 3 km/h (2 mph)
or
higher when coasting on a slope.
l Mode selection dial is set to the demister
position.
l When the air conditioning is operated by
pressing the air conditioning switch.
l When the preset temperature of the air
conditioning is changed significantly.
l When the air conditioning is operated in
AUTO mode where the temperature con-trol dial is set to the max. hot or the max.
cool position (for vehicles with automat- ic air conditioning).
Other than the conditions mentioned above, the engine may restart automatically. For de-
tails, refer to “Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) sys- tem” on page 6-19.

NOTElThe engine is designed so that it will not
start if the ID code registered in the immo- bilizer computer and the key’s ID code do
not match. Refer to the “Electronic immobil-
izer” section for details and key usage.
l [For vehicles equipped with the security
alarm system]
Pay attention to the following if the security alarm is set to “Active”.
Refer to “Security alarm system” on page
3-32.

[For vehicles equipped with keyless opera-tion system]
For information on operations for vehicles equipped with the keyless operation system,
refer to “Keyless operation system: Electron- ic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting system)”
on page 3-12.
[Except vehicles equipped with keyless oper-
ation system]
The electronic immobilizer is designed to significantly reduce the possibility of vehicle
theft. The purpose of the system is to immo-
bilize the vehicle if an invalid start is attemp-
ted. A valid start attempt can only be ach- ieved by using a key “registered” to the im-mobilizer system.NOTEl In the following cases, the vehicle may not
be able to receive the registered ID code from the registered key and the engine may
not start.
• When the key contacts a key ring or other
metallic or magnetic object.
• When the key grip contacts metal of an-
other key.
NOTE
• When the key contacts or is close to other
immobilizing keys (including keys of oth-er vehicles).
In cases like these, remove the object or additional key from the vehicle key. Then
try again to start the engine. If the engine
does not start, we recommend you to con-

• When the keyless operation key is placed
in an area with strong radio waves or noise.
In such cases, use the emergency key.
Refer to “To operate without using the keyless operation function” on page
3-21.
l Because the keyless operation key receives
signals in order to communicate with the
transmitters in the vehicle, the battery con- tinually wears down regardless of keylessoperation key use. The battery life is 1 to 3 years, depending on usage conditions. When
the battery wears out, please consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
If you replace the battery yourself, refer to “Procedure for replacing the remote control
switch battery” on page 3-24.
