Filling the fuel tankE00200204322WARNINGlWhen handling fuel, comply with the safe-
ty regulations displayed by garages and filling stations.
l Fuel is highly flammable and explosive.
You could be burned or seriously injured
when handling it. When refueling your
vehicle, always turn the engine off and keep away from flames, sparks and smok-
ing materials. Always handle fuel in well-
ventilated outdoor areas.
l Before removing the fuel cap, be sure to
get rid of your body’s static electricity by touching a metal part of the vehicle or
fuel pump. Any static electricity on your
body could create a spark that ignites fuel vapour.
l Perform the whole refueling process
(opening the fuel tank filler door, remov-
ing the fuel 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 until refueling is finished. If you moved
away and did something else (for exam- ple, sitting on a seat) part-way through
the refueling process, you could pick up a fresh charge of static electricity.
l Be careful not to inhale fuel vapour. Fuel
contains toxic substances.WARNINGl Keep the doors and windows closed while
refueling the vehicle. If they were open,fuel vapour could get into the cabin.
l If the fuel cap must be replaced, use only
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine part.

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.

Important points!
Due to a large number of accessories and re-
placement parts of different manufactures available in the market, it is not possible, not
only for MITSUBISHI MOTORS , but also
for a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point, to check whether the attach- ment or installation of such parts affects the
overall safety of your vehicle.
Entering or leaving the vehicle
2-05OKTE18E1General information2
Even when such parts are officially Author-ized, for example by a “general operators
permit” (an appraisal for the part) or through the execution of the part in an officially ap- proved manner of construction, or when a
single operation permit following the attach- ment or installation of such parts, it cannot be
deduced from that alone, that the driving safety of your vehicles has not been affected.
Consider also that there basically exists no li- ability on the part of the appraiser or the offi-
cial. Maximum safety can only be ensured
with parts recommended, sold and fitted or installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point ( MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE replacement parts and

same also pertains to modifications of vehi- cles with respect to the production specifica- tions. For safety reasons, do not attempt any
modifications other than those that follow the recommendations of a MITSUBISHI

similar equipment.
• Do not leave the key where it may be ex-
posed to high temperature or high humidi-
ty.

The keyless operation system allows you tolock and unlock the doors, start the engine
and change the operation mode simply by
carrying the keyless operation key with you. The switches on the keyless operation key can also be used as the key switch of keyless
entry system.
Refer to “Starting and stopping the engine” on page 6-18.
Refer to “Keyless entry system*” on page 3-04.
The driver should always carry the keyless operation key. This key is necessary for lock- ing and unlocking the doors, starting the en-
gine and otherwise operating the vehicle, so before locking and leaving the vehicle, be
sure to check that you have the keyless oper- ation key.
WARNINGl People with implantable cardiac pace-
makers or implantable cardiovascular-de- fibrillators should not go near the exterior
transmitters (A) or the interior transmit-
ters (B). The radio waves used by the key-
less operation system could adversely af- fect implantable cardiac pacemakers orimplantable cardiovascular-defibrillators.

WARNINGlWhen using electro-medical devices other
than implantable cardiac pacemakers or implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators,
contact the electro-medical device manu- facturer ahead of time to determine theaffects of radio waves on the devices. Elec-
tro-medical device operations could be af- fected by radio waves.
You can limit the possible operations of the
keyless operation system in the following ways. (The keyless operation system can be
used as a keyless entry system.) Please con-
sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
l You can limit operations to locking and
unlocking the doors.
l You can limit operations to starting the
engine.
l The keyless operation system can be dis-
abled.
When keyless operation system operations are modified, the operating transmitters are as
follows.
l Only locking and unlocking doors: exte-
rior transmitter and interior transmitter
l Only starting the engine: interior trans-
mitterNOTEl The keyless operation key uses an ultra-
weak electromagnetic wave. In the following
cases, the keyless operation system may not
operate properly or may be unstable.
• When there is equipment nearby that
emits strong radio waves, such as: a pow-
er station, a radio/TV broadcasting station or an airport.
• The keyless operation system is carried
together with a communications device such as a cellular phone or radio set, or
with an electronic device such as a per- sonal computer.
• The keyless operation key is touching or
covered by a metal object.
• A keyless entry system is being used
nearby.
• When the keyless operation key battery is
worn out.NOTE• When the keyless operation key is placed
in an area with strong radio waves or noise.
In such cases, use the emergency key.
Refer to “To lock/unlock without using
the keyless operation function” on page 3-11.
l Because the keyless operation key receives
signals in order to communicate with the transmitters in the vehicle, the battery con-tinually wears down regardless of keylessoperation key use. The battery life is 1 to 2
years, depending on usage conditions. When the battery wears out, replace the battery ac-cording to the description in this manual or
have it replaced a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
Refer to “Procedure for replacing the key battery” on page 3-06.
l Because the keyless operation key continual-
ly receives signals, strong radio wave recep- tion could affect battery wear. Do not leave
the key near a TV, personal computer, or
other electronic device.Operating range of the keyless
