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.
