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.

Security alarm system*E00301500657
The security alarm system is designed to pre- vent unlawful entry into the vehicle. It will
alert people nearby if a door, the backdoor, or the bonnet is opened when the vehicle has
not been unlocked using the keyless entry system.
Also, the alarm will be activated if any of the
following occur.
l Attempt an unlawful moving of the vehi-
cle. (the vehicle inclination detection function)
l Detect a motion in the vehicle. (the inte-
rior intrusion detection function)
l Disconnect the battery terminal.
The security alarm system is set to “active” when the vehicle leaves the factory.
When making changes to the settings, please
follow the procedure listed in the section ti- tled “Changing the system settings” on page
3-12.CAUTIONl Do not modify or add parts to the security
alarm system.
Doing so could cause the security alarm to malfunction.NOTEl The alarm system will not be activated if the
doors (including the backdoor) have been
locked using a key or the central door lock switch (instead of the keyless entry system).
l If the turn-signal lamps do not blink after the
locking and unlocking operation using thekeyless entry system, the security alarm sys-
tem may be malfunctioning.
Have the vehicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
l In the following situations, the security
alarm system could be more likely to be ac-
cidentally activated.
• Using a car wash
• Taking the vehicle on a ferry
• Parking in an automated car park
• Leaving someone or a pet in the vehicle
• Leaving a window, door, or the sunroof
open
• Leaving an unstable object such as a stuf-

tection function and the interior intrusion de-
tection function can be adjusted. For details,
please contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.The security alarm has four
modes:
System preparation mode (ap- prox. 20 seconds)
(The buzzer sounds intermittently, and the se-
curity alarm indicator (A) blinks)
The system preparation time extends from the point at which all of the doors (including the backdoor) are locked by the keyless entry
switch to the point at which the system acti- vation mode goes into effect.
During this time, it is possible to temporarily
open a door without using the keyless entry system and without causing the alarm to sound (for example, when you forget some-
thing inside the vehicle or realize that a win- dow is open).

the system armed mode starts. If an unlawful
opening of any of the doors (including the backdoor) or the bonnet is detected during
the system armed mode, the alarm will be ac-
tivated to warn people around the vehicle of an abnormal condition.
Also, if unlawful moving of the vehicle is at-
tempted or a vehicle intrusion is detected, the alarm will be activated.
