All-wheel drive vehicles: 15.8 gal (60 L) Front-wheel drive vehi
cles: 16.6 gal (63 L)
1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine. 2. The fuel tank filler is located on the rear driver side of your vehicle. The fuel tank filler door can be openedfrom inside the vehicle with the fuel tank filler door release lever located at the left side of the driver’s seat.
3. Open the fuel tank filler pipe by slowly turning the fuel tank filler cap counter-clockwise.
Before removing the fuel tank filler cap, be sure to get rid of your body’s staticelectricity by touching a metal part of thecar or fuel pump. Any
static electricity on
your body could create a spark that ignites fuel vapor. 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 near the fuel tank
filler. If you allowed
a person to help you
and that person was ca
rrying static elec-
tricity, fuel vapor could be ignited. Do not move away from
the fuel tank filler
until refueling is fi
nished. If you moved
away and did somethin
g else (for example,
sitting on a seat) part-way through the refueling process, you could pick up a fresh charge of st
atic electricity.
Be careful not to inhale fuel vapor. Fuel contains toxic substances. Keep the doors and wi
ndows closed while
refueling the vehicle. If they were open,fuel vapor could ge
t into the cabin.

any pressure or vac-
uum that might have built up in the fuel tank. If the cap is venting vapor or if youhear a hissing sound, wait until the sound stops before removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, in
juring you or others.

NOTE
While filling with fuel, hang the fuel cap on the hook (A) located on the inside surface ofthe fuel tank filler door.CAUTION Your vehicle can only be operated using unleaded gasoline. Seri
ous engine and cata-
lytic converter damage will result if leaded gasoline is filled into these vehicles, andconsequently, this must
never be attempted.
CAUTIONTo avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top-off” the fuel tank.
Spilled fuel could
discolor, stain, or crack the vehicle’s paint-work. If fuel spills on the paintwork, wipe it off with a soft cloth.WA R N I N G Make sure the fuel tank filler cap is securely closed. If the fuel cap were loose, fuel could leak, re
sulting in a fire.
CAUTIONIf you need to replace th
e fuel tank filler cap,
use only the cap specified for your modelvehicle.
NOTE
If the fuel tank filler
cap is not tight while
driving, the engine malfunction indicator(“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or “Checkengine light”) may come on when the onboard diagnostic (OBD) system performs a self check.Always tighten the fuel
tank filler cap until
you hear at least 3 clicks. The indicator will go of
f after several driving
cycles. If the indicato
r does not go off, con-
tact your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair fac
ility of your choice as
soon as possible.

Your vehicle has been
designed primarily for
use on pavement. But its unique 4 -wheel
drive system allows
you to occasionally travel on unpaved roads, to campgrounds, picnic
sites, and similar
locations.Not only does this ensure better handling on dry, paved roads but al
so permits better trac-
tion when driving on sl
ippery, wet or snow-
covered roads and when moving out of mud. But it is not suitable
for heavy off road use or
towing in rough conditions. It is particularly im
portant to note that 4-
wheel drive may not give sufficient hillclimbing ability and engine braking on steep slopes. You should try to avoid driving on steep slopes.Also, you must exercise caution when driving on sand and mud and when driving through water because sufficie
nt traction may not be
available in certain circumstances. Please avoid driving the vehicle through areas where the tires may get stuck in deep sand ormud.

N00520501814
This indicator is a pa
rt of the onboard diag-
nostic (OBD) system which monitors the emissions, engine control system or auto- matic transaxle control system/continuouslyvariable transmission (CVT) control system. If a problem is detected in one of these sys- tems, this indicator illuminates or flashes.When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the ope
ration mode is put in
ON, this indicator
normally comes on and
goes off after the engine has started.
This indicator will come on if the fuel tank filler cap is not properly tightened. If thisindicator comes on and stays on after refuel- ing, stop the engine and check that the cap is properly tightened. (Turn the cap clockwiseuntil you hear clicking sounds.) If this indicator does not go off after several seconds or lights up while driving, have thesystem checked as soon as possible at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.

CAUTION When the warning light remains on or does not come on, there is the possibility that theparking brake cannot
be operated or
released. Immediately contact the nearest authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer. When
the warning light comes on during driving,immediately stop the vehi
cle in a safe place,
and contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. If you inevitably have to park, parkthe vehicle on level a
nd stable ground, shift
the selector lever in “P” (PARK) position and place chocks
or blocks.
Engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”)
CAUTION Driving for a long time
with the engine mal-
function indicator on may cause more dam- age to the emission control system. This could also affect fuel
economy and drivabil-
ity. If this indicator does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi- tion or the operation mode is put in ON, have the system checked at an authorized Mitsubi-shi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
If the engine malfuncti
on indicator comes on
while the engine is running, avoid driving athigh speeds.During vehicle operation
with the indicator
on, the vehicle may not
accelerate when you
depress the accelerator pedal.When the vehicle is stat
ionary with the indi-
cator on, you must depress the brake pedal more firmly than usual since the engineidling speed is higher than usual and a vehi- cle with an automatic transaxle or CVT has a stronger tendency to creep forward.NOTE
Do not disconnect the ba
ttery cable when the
engine malfunction i
ndicator (“SERVICE
ENGINE SOON” or “Ch
eck engine light”) is
on. The engine electronic
control module stores
critical OBD informati
on (especially exhaust
emission data), which ma
y be lost if the bat-
tery cable is disconne
cted while the engine
malfunction indicator is
on. This will make it
difficult to diagnose th
e cause of future prob-
lems.

4. If you see steam or spray coming from under the hood, turn off the engine.5. If you do not see stea
m or spray coming
from under the hood, leave the engine on until the high coolant temperature warn-ing goes off. After the high coolant tem- perature warning has gone off, you can start driving again. If the high coolanttemperature warning stays on, turn off the engine. 6. When you do not see any more steam or spray, open the hood. Look for obvious leaks, such as a split radiator hose. Becareful as components will be hot. Any leak source must be repaired. 7. If there is no obvious leak source, checkthe coolant level in the engine coolant reserve tank. If there is
none, or if it is too
low, slowly add coolant.
8. If the engine coolant reserve tank needs coolant, you will probably also need toadd coolant to the radiator. Do not loosen or remove the radiator cap until the engine has cooled down. 9. Start the engine, a
nd slowly add coolant,
up to the bottom of the filler neck. Use plain water if you have to (and replace itwith the right coolant as soon as possible).
10. Replace the radiator cap and tighten it
fully. Check the engine coolant tempera-ture display on the mu
lti information dis-
play (Color liquid crystal display type) or the high coolant temperature warninglight (Mono-color liqui
d crystal display
type). You can start driving again when the high coolant temperature warningdoes not come on.
11. Have the system in
spected by your autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repairfacility of your choice.

see if there is steam or spray coming fromunder the hood. Steam or spray coming from an overheated en
gine could seriously
scald you.Do not open the hood until there is no steam or spray.
WA R N I N G Removing the radiat
or cap could scald
you with escaping hot water or steam. When checking the radiator level, coverthe cap with a cloth before trying to remove it. Turn it slowly counterclock- wise, without pressing down, to the firstnotch. The pressure in the system will then be let out. When the pressure is COM- PLETELY LET OUT, press down andkeep turning the cap counterclockwise until it comes off.

1. Park the vehicle on a safe, flat and level place. 2. Set the parking brake firmly.3. Move the selector
lever to the “P”
(PARK) position, and stop the engine. 4. Turn on the hazard warning lights and setup a warning sign, such as a warning tri- angle or flashing signal lamp, at an ade- quate distance from the vehicle, and haveall your passengers leave the vehicle. 5. Take out the tire repair kit. Make sure that the compressor switch isOFF.
6. Shake the tire sealant bottle well. 7. Take the valve cap (D) off the tire valve (E).
8. Unwind the bottle hose (F) from around the sealant bottle. 9. Pull out the compressor’s hose (G) from the bottom of the compressor and securely attach it to the valve (H) of the bottle byturning it clockwise until tight.
Immediately wash clothes contaminated with tire sealant. The tire sealant may not beremoved from the clothes.NOTE
Do not pull out an object, such as a nail or screw, that penetrat
es the punctured tire.
Move the vehicle so th
at the tire valve is
positioned away from the point where thetire touches the ground. If the valve is near the point where the tire touches the ground, the sealant may not enter the tire easily. Check the tire sealant’
s expiration date regu-
larly, and be sure to
purchase a new one from
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer before the expiration date.CAUTION
NOTE
In cold conditions (w
hen the ambient tem-
perature is 32 °F {0 °C} or lower), thicken- ing of the tire sealant can make the tiresealant hard to squeeze out of the bottle. Warm the bottle betw
een your hands inside
the vehicle.

1. Open the liftgate and use the bar to remove the cover (A) over the tire hangermounting bolt.
2. With the wheel nut wrench, loosen the tire hanger mounting bolt by
turning it coun-
terclockwise.
3. Lift up the section of the tire hanger (B) that is marked with the arrow in the illus-tration and remove it from the hook (C). Then lower it and remove the tire.
Because the compact spare tire is designed only for your vehicle, do not use it on anyother vehicle. Do not put the compact spare tire on a differ- ent wheel, and do not put standard tires,snow tires, wheel covers
or trim rings on the
compact spare wheel. Otherwise, you could damage these parts or other parts on yourvehicle. Do not use tire chains with your compact spare tire. Using a chain could cause damage to your vehicle and loss of the chains.
To remove the spare tire
(if so
equipped)
CAUTION
CAUTION While checking the tire hanger, carefully loosen the tire hange
r mounting bolt. Loos-
ening it too much could pull out the hook and cause the compact spare tire to drop.
CAUTION When hooking or unhooking the tire hanger, be sure to hold the tire hanger firmly to pre- vent it from dropping on your foot.

5. Remove the wheel nuts with the wheel nut wrench, then take the wheel off.
6. Clean out any mud, etc. on the hub sur- face (F), hub bolts (G)
or in the installa-
tion holes (H) in the wheel, and then mount the spare tire.
7. Turn the wheel nut clockwise by hand to initially tighten them. Temporarily tighten the wheel nuts byhand until the flange parts of the wheel nuts make light contact with the wheel and the wheel
is not loose.
WA R N I N GStop jacking up the ve
hicle as soon as the
tire is raised off the ground. It is danger-ous to raise the ve
hicle any higher.
Do not get under your vehicle while using the jack. Do not bump the raised
vehicle or leave it
sitting on the jack for a long time. Bothare very dangerous. Do not use a jack except the one that came with your vehicle. The jack should not be used for any pur- pose other than to change a tire. No one should be
in your vehicle when
using the jack. Do not start or run
the engine while your
vehicle is on the jack. Do not turn the raised wheel. The tires that are still on the ground could turn and make your vehicle fall off the jack.CAUTION Handle the wheel carefully when changing the tire, to avoid scratching the wheel sur-face.
WA R N I N G Mount the wheel with the valve stem (I) facing outward. If you cannot see the valve stem (I), you
have installed the
wheel backwards. Operating the vehicle with the spare wheel installed backwards can cause vehicledamage and result
in an ac
cident.
