fuel
Petrol-powered vehicles Unleaded  petrol  octanenumber (EN228) 90 RON or higher
If  the  “PREMIUM  FUEL
ONLY”  label  is  attached  to the  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 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

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.
Open  the  fuel  tank  filler  door  with  the
release  lever  located  below  the  instru- ment panel.

3.Open  the  fuel  tank  filler  tube  by  slowly
turning the cap anticlockwise.
A- Remove B- Close
CAUTIONl Since the fuel system may be under pressure,
remove  the  fuel  tank  filler  tube  cap  slowly. This  relieves  any  pressure  or  vacuum  that
might  have  built  up  in  the  fuel  tank.  If  you
hear  a  hissing  sound,  wait  until  it  stops  be- fore  removing  the  cap.  Otherwise,  fuel  may
spray out, injuring you or others.
4. Insert the gun in the tank port as far as it
goes.
CAUTIONl Do not tilt the gun.5.
When  the  gun  stops  automatically,  do
not fill with fuel any more.
6. To  close,  turn  the  fuel  tank  filler  tube
cap  slowly  clockwise  until  you  hear clicking  sounds,  then  gently  push  the
fuel tank filler door closed.Installation of accessories

discharged,  the  electronic  devices  of  the  ve- hicle could malfunction, or other unexpected
problems could result.
In addition, malfunctions caused by connect-
ing  a  device  other  than  a  diagnosis  tool  may not be covered under warranty.l The  installation  of  accessories,  optional
parts,  should  only  be  carried  out  within
the  limits  prescribed  by  law  in  your
country,  and  in  accordance  with  the guidelines  fitting  instructions  and  warn-
ings  contained  within  the  documents  ac-
companying the parts or accessories.
l Improper  installation  of  electrical  com-
ponents  may  cause  an  electrical  fire  if
incorrectly  fitted.  Please  refer  to  the Modification/alteration  to  the  electrical
or  fuel  systems  section  within  this  own-
er’s manual.

quired  information  (frequency,  transmis-
sion  output,  installing  procedure),  con- sult  a  MITSUBISHI  MOTORS  Author-
ized Service Point.
If the frequency, transmission output and installing  condition  are  not  appropriate,
it  can  adversely  affect  the  electronic  de- vices  and  could  lead  to  unsafe  vehicle operation.
l Using a cellular phone or radio set inside
the  vehicle  without  an  external  antenna
may cause electrical system interference, which could lead to unsafe vehicle oper-ation.
l Tyres  and  wheels  which  do  not  meet
specifications must not be used.
