Your vehicle is designe
d to use unleaded gas-
oline only. It is equipped with a fuel tank filler pipe specifically
designed to accept only
a small diameter unlea
ded gasoline dispens-
ing nozzle. In the United States, fuel suppliers are required by law to add detergents to their gas-
oline to minimize fuel-injector clogging and minimize intake-valve
deposits. Detergent
gasoline helps keep your engine in tune and your emission-control system working prop- erly. Your vehicle is de
signed to operate on
unleaded gasoline having a minimum octane number of 87 [(MON+RON)/2] or 91 RON. Gasoline sold at some
service stations con-
tains oxygenates such as ethanol, although the oxygenates may not be
identified by those
names. Oxygenates
are required in some
areas of the country. Such fuel can be used in your vehicle. A mixture of up to 10 % ethanol (grain alco- hol) and 90 % unleaded
gasoline may be used
in your vehicle, provided the octane number is at least as high as that recommended for unleaded gasoline.
Do not operate your vehicle on gasoline con- taining methanol (wood alcohol). Using this type of alcohol could adversely affect thevehicle’s performance
and damage critical
parts of the vehicl
e’s fuel system.
Many areas of the country require the use of cleaner burning fuel referred to as “Reformu-lated Gasoline”.
contains oxygenates
and is specially ble
nded to reduce vehicle
emissions and improve air quality. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation strongly sup- ports the use of reformulated gasoline. Prop-erly blended reformul
ated gasoline has no
adverse effect on vehicle performance or the durability of the engine and fuel system. MMT is a manganese-
containing metallic
additive that is ble
nded into some gasolines
to increase the octane number. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation recommends using gaso-lines without MMT.

WA R N I N G Gasoline is highly flammable and explo- sive. You could be burned, seriously injured or killed when handling it. When-ever you refuel your
vehicle, stop the
engine and keep fl
ames, sparks, and
smoking materials away from the vehicle.Always handle fuel in well-ventilated out- door areas.CAUTION Using leaded gasoline
in your vehicle will
damage the engine, ca
talytic converter, and
the oxygen sensors. Also, using leaded gaso- line is illegal, and
will void your warranty
