Your vehicle is designe
d to use unleaded gas-
oline only. It is equipped with a fuel tankfiller pipe specifically
designed to accept only
a small diameter unlea
ded gasoline dispens-
ing nozzle.In the United States, fuel suppliers arerequired by law to add detergents to their gas-
oline to minimize fuel-injector clogging andminimize intake-valve
deposits. Detergent
gasoline helps keep your engine in tune andyour emission-control system working prop-erly.Your vehicle is de
signed to operate on
unleaded gasoline having a minimum octanenumber of 87 [(MON+RON)/2] or 91 RON.Unleaded gasoline having a minimum octanenumber of 87 [(MON+RON)/2] or 91 RONmay be used, though it is recommended yourvehicle be operated on premium gradeunleaded gasoline having a minimum octanenumber of 91 [(MON+RON)/2], or 95 RON. To obtain maximum performance, premiumgasoline is recommended. Gasoline sold at some
service stations con-
tains oxygenates such as ethanol, although
the oxygenates may not be identified by thosenames. Oxygenates are required in someareas of the country. Oxygenated fuel can beused in your vehicle.A mixture of up to 10 % ethanol (grain alco-hol) and 90 % unleaded gasoline may be usedin your vehicle, provided the octane numberis at least as high as
that recommended for
unleaded gasoline.Do not operate your vehicle on gasoline con-taining methanol (wood alcohol). Using thistype of alcohol could adversely affect thevehicle’s performance
and damage critical
parts of the vehicl
e’s fuel system.
Many areas of the country require the use ofcleaner burning fuel referred to as “Reformu-lated Gasoline”.

Trailer lights and equipment must complywith federal, state,
and local regulations.
Check with your loca
l recreational vehicle
dealer for the requirements in your area, anduse only equipment designed for your vehi-cle.Since lighting and wiring
vary by trailer type
and brand, you should have a qualified tech-nician install a suitable connector between thevehicle and the trailer.
Improper equipment or
installation can cause da
mage to your vehi-
cle’s electrical system
and affect your vehicle
warranty.Many states and Canadi
an provinces require
special outside mirrors when towing a trailer.Even if not required,
you should install spe-
cial mirrors if you ca
nnot clearly see behind
you, or if the trailer
creates a blind spot.
Ask your trailer sales or
rental agency if any
other items are recomm
ended or required for
your towing situation.
Towing a trailer requires a certain amount ofexperience.Before setting out for the open road, you’llwant to get to know your trailer. Acquaint
yourself with the feel of handling and brakingwith the added weight of the trailer. Alwayskeep in mind that the vehicle you are drivingis now a good deal longer and not nearly asresponsive as your vehicl
e is without a trailer.
Before you start, check the trailer hitch,safety chains, tires
and mirror adjustment.
Be sure your vehicle’s ti
res are inflated to the
cold inflation pressure listed in the manual.You’ll find these numbe
rs on the tire and
loading information placard at the sill of thedriver’s door.Refer to “Tire inflati
on pressures” on page
9-19.Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicleahead as you would when driving your vehi-cle without a trailer.
This can help you avoid
situations that require
heavy braking and sud-
den turns.

Operating hints
WA R N I N GIf you have a rear window open and youtow a trailer with
your vehicle, carbon
monoxide gas which
you cannot see or
smell could come into your vehicle. It cancause unconsciousness or death. Refer to“Exhaust system” on page 9-24.To maximize your safe
ty when towing a
trailer:Have your exhaust system inspected forleaks, and make necessary repairs beforestarting on your trip.Keep the rear windows closed.If exhaust does come into your vehiclethrough a window or
another opening,
drive with your front, main heating orcooling system on an
d with the blower on
any speed. This will
bring fresh, outside
air into your vehicle. Do not use recircula-tion because it only recirculates the airinside your vehicle. Refer to “Air selectionswitch” on page 7-9.

Normally, the catalyti
c converter does not
require maintenance. However, it is importantto keep the engine properly tuned for the con-verter to continue to work properly.To reduce the possibili
ty of catalytic con-
verter damage:Use UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY ofthe type of recommended in the “Fuelselection”.Do not drive with an extremely low fuellevel. Running out of gas could damagethe catalytic converter.
Do not try to start the engine by pushingor towing the vehicle. If the battery isweak or run down, use jumper cables toproperly start the engine.Do not idle the engine with any spark plugwires disconnected or removed, such aswhen performing
diagnosti
c tests.
Do not idle the engine
for a long time if it
is idling roughly or otherwise obviouslymalfunctioning.To prevent the catalytic converter frombeing damaged from unburned gas, do notrace the engine when turning off the igni-tion switch.Stop driving the vehicle if you think theperformance is noticeably low, or theengine has a malfunction such as with theignition, etc. If you are not able to stopdriving immediately,
slow down and drive
for only a short time. Have your vehiclechecked at an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice as soon
as possible.
In unusual situations involving majorengine problems, a burning odor mayindicate severe and abnormal catalyticconverter overheating.
If this occurs, stop
in a safe place, shut the engine off and letthe vehicle cool. Once
the engine is cool,
immediately take
your vehicle to an
authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice for service.

CAUTIONDamage to the catalyti
c converter can result
if your vehicle is not
kept in proper operating
condition. If the engine
malfunctions or mis-
fires, or if your vehi
cle performance suffers,
have it serviced promptly. Running yourvehicle when it is
overheated may result in
damage to the converter and vehicle.WA R N I N GDo not park or run your vehicle in areaswhere combustible materials such as drygrass or leaves can come
in contact with a
hot exhaust, since a fire could occur.Do not put undercoat paint on the cata-lytic converter.

4. Use the fuse location diagrams and thematching tables, to check the fuse that isrelated to the problem. If the fuse is notblown, something else must be causingthe problem. Have the system inspectedby your authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a repair facility of your choice.
5. Insert a new fuse
of the same capacity
securely into the appropriate slot.
N00942901391
Before replacing the bulb, be sure the light isoff. Do not touch the glass part of the newbulb with your bare fingers; the oil from yourskin will stay on the glass and dim or destroythe bulb when it gets hot.
B- Fuse is OKC- Blown fuse
CAUTIONNever use a fuse with a capacity greater thanthe one listed or any s
ubstitute, such as wire,
foil etc. This would
cause the circuit wiring
to heat up and could cause a fire.If the replacement fuse blows again after ashort time, have the electrical systemchecked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a repair faci
lity of your choice to
find and correct
the cause.
Replacement of light bulbs
CAUTIONBulbs are extremely hot immediately afterbeing turned off.When replacing the bulb, wait for it to coolsufficiently before
touching it. You could
otherwise be burned.
Handle halogen light bul
b with care. The gas
inside a halogen light
bulb is highly pressur-
ized, so dropping, knocki
ng, or scratching a
halogen light bulb can
cause it to shatter.
Never hold the halogen
light bulb with a bare
hand, dirty glove, etc.The oil from your hand could cause the bulbto break the next time the headlights areused.If the glass surface is dirty, clean it withalcohol and let it dry completely beforeinstalling the bulb.CAUTIONDo not install commercially available LED-type bulbs. Commercia
lly available LED-
type bulbs could adversely affect the opera-tion of the vehicle, such as by preventing thelights and other vehicle equipment fromoperating properly.CAUTION
