Fuel selectionE00200104813Recommended fuel
Cetane  number  (EN
590) 51 or higherCAUTIONlYour  vehicle  is  designed  to  use  only  diesel
fuel that meets the EN590 standard.
Use  of  any  other  type  of  diesel  fuel  would
adversely  affect  the  engine’s  performance and durability.
l If  proper  “winter”  fuel  is  not  used  in  winter,
the diesel preheat indication lamp may blink
and the engine speed may not rise above the idling speed because of fuel freezing. In thiscase,  keep  the  engine  idling  for  approxi-
mately 10 minutes, then turn off the ignition switch or put the operation mode in OFF and
immediately turn it on or put in ON again to confirm  that  the  diesel  preheat  indication
lamp is off. (Refer to “Diesel preheat indica- tion lamp” on page 5-14)NOTEl 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.
l Poor-quality diesel fuel can cause deposits to
form in the injector, 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  a normal 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.Filling the fuel tank
E00200204322WARNINGlWhen handling fuel, comply with the safe-
ty  regulations  displayed  by  garages  and filling stations.
l Fuel  is  highly  flammable  and  explosive.
You  could  be  burned  or  seriously  injured
when  handling  it.  When  refueling  your
vehicle,  always  turn  the  engine  off  and keep away from flames, sparks and smok-
ing  materials.  Always  handle  fuel  in  well-
ventilated outdoor areas.
l Before  removing  the  fuel  cap,  be  sure  to
get  rid  of  your  body’s  static  electricity  by touching  a  metal  part  of  the  vehicle  or
fuel  pump.  Any  static  electricity  on  your
body could create a spark that ignites fuel vapour.
l 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  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 until refueling is finished. If you moved
away  and  did  something  else  (for  exam- ple,  sitting  on  a  seat)  part-way  through
the  refueling  process,  you  could  pick  up  a fresh charge of static electricity.
l Be  careful  not  to  inhale  fuel  vapour.  Fuel
contains toxic substances.
