MMT is a manganese-containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasolines to increase the octane number. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation recommends using gaso-lines without MMT. Use of gasolines blended with MMT may adversely affect performance, and cause themalfunction indicator on your instrumentpanel to come on. If this happens, contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice for assistance. Your vehicle may have been designed to sat- isfy California’s low-emission regulationsbased on clean-burning low-sulfur gasoline. Gasoline sold in parts of the country other than California is allowed to have a highersulfur content. Using such gasoline could adversely affect the vehicle’s catalytic con- verter and cause the engine malfunction indi-cator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”) to come on. Illumina- tion of this indicator while using high-sulfurgasoline does not necessarily mean the vehi- cle’s emission-control system is malfunction- ing. Your authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer may suggest using a different, lower- sulfur brand of unleaded gasoline to deter- mine if the problem is fuel-related.

MMT (methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl) Sulfur in gasoline
NOTE
Poor-quality gasoline can cause problems such as hard starting, stalling during idling, abnormal engine noise, and poor accelera- tion. If you experience any of these prob-lems, try using a different brand of gasoline. If the engine malfunction indicator (“SER- VICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check enginelight”) flashes, have the vehicle inspected as soon as possible by the nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facilityof your choice. Repeatedly driving short distances at low speeds can cause deposits to form in the fuel system and engine, resulting in hard starting and poor acceleration. If these problemsoccur, you are advised to add a detergent additive to the gasoline when you refuel the vehicle. The additive will remove the depos-its, thereby returning the engine to a normal condition. Be sure to use a Mitsubishi Motors Genuine cleaning additive. Using anunsuitable additive could make an engine malfunction. For details, please contact the nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
Filling the fuel tank
WA R N I N G When handling fuel, comply with the safety regulations displayed by garages and filling stations. Gasoline is highly flammable and explo- sive. You could be burned, seriously injured or killed when handling it. Whenrefueling your vehicle, always turn the engine off and keep away from flames, sparks, and smoking materials. Alwayshandle fuel in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Before removing the fuel tank filler cap, be sure to get rid of your body’s static electricity by touching a metal part of thevehicle 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 youand that person was carrying static elec- tricity, fuel vapor could be ignited. Do not move away from the fuel tank filler until refueling is finished. If you movedaway and did something else (for example, sitting on a seat) part-way through the refueling process, you could pick up afresh charge of static electricity.

in both side impact and rollover type acci- dents. The SRS airbags are NOT
a substitute for use
of the seat belts. For maximum protection in all types of accidents, seat belts mustALWAYS be worn by everyone who drives or rides in this vehicle (with infants and small children in an appropriate child restraint sys-tem in the rear seat, and older children buck- led in the rear seat). Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page 4-22.
WA R N I N G IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT PROPERLYEVEN WITH AN AIRBAG.• Seat belts help keep the driver and pas-sengers properly positioned. This reduces the risk of injury in all collisions, and reduces the risk of serious injuries ordeath when the airbags inflate. During sudden braking just before a col- lision, an unrestrained or improperlyrestrained driver or front passenger can move forward into direct contact with, or within close proximity to, the airbag when it begins to inflate. The beginning stage of airbag inflation isthe most forceful and can cause serious injuries or death if the occupant comes in contact with the airbag at this time.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of injury in rear impact collisions, and in lower- speed frontal collisions because the air- bags are not designed to inflate in those situations.• Seat belts reduce the risk of beingthrown from your vehicle in a collision orrollover.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROP- ERLY SEATED.• A driver or front passenger sitting tooclose to the steering wheel or instrument panel during airbag deployment can be seriously injured or killed.• Airbags inflate very quickly and withgreat force. If the driver and front pas-senger are not properly seated and restrained, the airbag may not provide the proper protection, and can causeserious injuries or de
ath when it inflates.
• To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or death due to a deploying driver’s airbag, always properly wear your seat belt and adjust the driver’s seatas far back as possible, maintaining a position that still allows the driver to have good control of the steering wheel, brake, accelerator, and other vehicle con- trols.WA R N I N G
• To reduce the risk to the front passenger of serious injury or death from a deploy- ing passenger’s airbag, make sure the passenger always wears the seat belt properly, remains seated upright and allthe way back in the seat, and positions the seat as far back as possible.• Seat all infants and children in the rearseat, properly restrained in an appropri- ate child restraint system.
Airbags inflate very quickly and with great force. Do not sit on the edge of theseat or sit with your lower legs too close to the instrument panel, or lean your head or chest close to the steering wheel or theinstrument panel. Do not put your feet or legs on or against the instrument panel.WA R N I N G

Infants and small children should never ride unrestrained, or lean against the instrument panel. They should never ride held in your arms or on your lap. They can be seriously injured or killed in anaccident, especially when the airbags inflate. Seat all infants and children in the rear seat, properly restrained in an appro-priate child restraint system. Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page 4-22.WA R N I N G
NEVER put REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS or INFANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS in the front pas- senger seat. This places the infant too close to the passenger’s airbag. Duringdeployment of that airbag, the infant can be seriously injured or killed. Rear-facing child restraint systems orinfant restraint systems must only be used in the rear seat.WA R N I N G
Airbag
FRONT-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS should be used in the rear seat whenever possible. If they must be used in the front passenger seat, move the seat to the most rearward position and make surethe child stays in th
e child restraint sys-
tem, properly restrained. Failure to follow these instructions could result in seriousinjury or death to the child. Older children should be seated in the rear seat with their seat belt properlyworn, and with an appropriate booster seat if needed.
