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
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.E10 type petrol
E00203200019
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.

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

The SRS driver’s and front passenger’s air-bags are designed to supplement the primary
protection of the driver and front passenger
side seat belt systems by providing those oc- cupants with protection against head and
chest injuries in certain moderate-to-severe
frontal collisions.
The SRS driver’s and front passenger’s air- bags employ a dual stage airbag system. The
SRS driver’s and front passenger’s airbag is controlled by the impact sensors (at the front
of the vehicle) and the control unit (near the centre of the vehicle at floor level).
The SRS side airbag (if so equipped) is de-
signed to supplement properly worn seat belts and provide the driver and front passen-
ger with protection against chest injury in certain moderate-to-severe side impact colli- sions.
The SRS curtain airbags (if so equipped) are
designed to supplement properly worn seat belts and provide the driver and passenger with protection against head injuries in cer-
tain moderate-to-severe side impact colli- sions.
The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat
belts; for maximum protection in all types of crashes and accidents, seat belts should AL-
WAYS be worn by everyone who drives or rides in this vehicle.How the Supplemental Re-
straint System works
E00407302939
The SRS includes the following components:
1- Airbag module (Driver)
2- Front passenger’s airbag OFF indication
lamp
3- Airbag module (Passenger)
4- Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch
5- Side airbag modules*
6- Curtain airbag modules*
The airbags will operate only when the igni- tion switch is in the “ON” or “START” posi-
tion.
The airbags deployment produces a sudden, loud noise, and releases some smoke and
powder, but these conditions are not injuri- ous, and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
People with respiratory problems may feel some temporary irritation from chemicals
used to produce the deployment; open the
windows after airbag deployment, if safe to
do so.
The airbags deflate very rapidly after deploy- ment, so there is little danger of obscured vi-sion.CAUTIONl Airbags inflate at an extremely rapid speed.
In certain situations, contact with inflating
airbags can result in abrasions, light cuts, bruises, and the like.

If the lever is put in the “AUTO” position,the rain sensor (A) will detect the extent of
rain (or snow, other moisture, dust, etc.) and the wipers will operate automatically.
Keep the lever in the “OFF” position if the windscreen is dirty and the weather is dry.
Wiper operation under these conditions can scratch the windscreen and damage the wip-
ers.CAUTIONl With the ignition switch in the “ON” posi-
tion and the lever in the “AUTO” position,the wipers may automatically operate in the situations described below.
If your hands get trapped, you could suffer injuries or the wipers could malfunction. Be sure to turn the ignition switch to the “OFF”
position or move the lever to the “OFF” po-
sition to deactivate the rain sensor.
• When cleaning the outside surface of the
windscreen, if you touch the rain sensor.
• When cleaning the outside surface of the
windscreen, if you wipe with a cloth the
rain sensor.
• When using an automatic car wash.
• A physical shock is applied to the wind-
screen.
• A physical shock is applied to the rain
sensor.NOTEl To protect the rubber parts of the wipers,
this operation of the wipers does not take
place even if the lever is put in the “AUTO” position when the vehicle is stationary and
the ambient temperature is about 0 °C or lower.
l Do not cover the sensor by affixing a sticker
or label to the windscreen. Also, do not put any water-repellent coating on the wind-screen. The rain sensor would not be able to
detect the extent of rain, and the wipers
might stop working normally.NOTEl In the following cases, the rain sensor may
be malfunctioning.
Have the vehicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
• When the wipers operate at a constant in-
terval despite changes in the extent of
rain.
• When the wipers do not operate even
though it is raining.
l The wipers may automatically operate when
things such as insects or foreign objects are affixed to the windscreen on top of the rainsensor or when the windscreen is frozen.
Objects affixed to the windscreen will stop
the wipers when the wipers cannot remove them. To make the wipers operate again,
place the lever in the “LO” or “HI” position.
Also, the wipers may operate automatically due to strong direct sunlight or electromag-
netic wave. To stop the wipers, place the lever in the “OFF” position.
