fuel
Petrol-powered vehicles Unleaded petrol octanenumber (EN228) 1600 models95 RON or higher
2000 models 90 RON or higher
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
E00203200022
The petrol engines are compatible with E10
type petrol (containing 10 % ethanol) con- forming to European standards EN 228.
