General information

Fuel selection

E00200102529
Recom­mended fuel
Petrol-powered vehicles
Unleaded
petrol octane num-
ber (EN228)
1600 models, 1800 models
95 RON or higher
2000 models
90 RON or higher
Diesel-powered vehicles
Cetane number (EN590)
51 or higher
CAUTION
l
For
petrol-powered vehicles, the use of lea­ded fuel can result in serious damage to the engine and catalytic converter. Do not use leaded fuel.
l
Diesel-powered vehicles are designed to use only diesel fuel that meets the EN590 standard. Use of any other type of diesel fuel (bio diesel, methylester, etc.) would adversely affect the engine’s performance and dura­bility.
NOTE
l
Petrol-powered
vehicles have the knock con­trol system so that you can use unleaded pet­rol 90 RON as an emergent measure in case unleaded petrol 95 RON or higher is not avail­able on journey, etc. In such a case, you don’t need to adjust the engine specially. In case of using unleaded petrol 90 RON, the engine performance level is reduced.
l
Due to the separation of paraffin, the fluidity of the fuel decreases considerably as the tem­perature falls. Because of this fact there are two kinds of fuel: “summer” and “winter”. This must be considered in winter use. Select either of the two kinds of fuel in ac­cordance with ambient temperature.
Above -5 °C: “Summer” diesel
Below -5 °C: “Winter” diesel When travelling abroad, find out in advance about the fuels served in local service stations.
l
Repeatedly driving short distances at low speeds can cause deposits to form in the fuel system and engine, resulting in poor starting and poor acceleration. If these problems oc­cur, you are advised to add a detergent addi­tive to the gasoline when you refuel the vehi­cle. The additive will remove the deposits, thereby returning the engine to a normal con­dition. Be sure to use a genuine MITSUBISHI FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive could make the engine malfunction. For details, please con­tact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l
Poor
quality petrol can cause problems such as difficult starting, stalling, engine noise and hesitation. If you experience these prob­lems, try another brand and/or grade of petrol. If the check engine warning lamp flashes, have the system checked as soon as possible at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

Filling the fuel tank

E00200202256
WARNING
l
When
handling fuel, comply with the safe­ty regulations displayed by garages and filling stations.
l
Gasoline 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 smoking 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 car or the 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, remov­ing 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 fill­er until refueling is finished. If you moved away and did something else (for example, sitting on a seat) part-way through the refueling process, you could pick up a fresh charge of static electricity.
l
If the tank cap must be replaced, use only a MITSUBISHI MOTORS original part.

Fuel tank capacity

2WD models: 63 litres 4WD models: 60 litres

Refueling

1.
Before filling with fuel, stop the engine.
2. The fuel tank filler is located on the rear left side of your vehicle. Open the fuel tank filler door by pulling the release lever located on the side of the driv­er’s seat.

3. Remove the fuel cap.
Open the fuel tank filler tube by slowly turn­ing the cap anticlockwise.
1- Remove 2-
Close
4. While filling with fuel, hang the fuel cap cord on the hook located on the inside of the fuel tank filler door.
General information
03
CAUTION
l
Since the fuel system may be under pres­sure, remove the fuel cap slowly. This re­lieves any pressure or vacuum that might have built up in the fuel tank. If you hear a hissing sound from the cap, wait until it stops before removing the cap. Other­wise, fuel may spray out, injuring you or others.
5. Insert
the gun in the tank port as far as it goes.
CAUTION
l
Do not tilt the gun.
6. When
the gun stops automatically, do not fill
with fuel any more.
7. Close the fuel cap. To close, turn the fuel cap slowly clockwise until you hear clicking sounds, then gently push the fuel tank filler door closed.

Installation of accessories

E00200300963
We
recommend you to consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l
The installation of accessories, optional parts, etc., should only be carried out within the limits prescribed by law in your country, and in accordance with the guidelines and warnings contained within the documents ac­companying this vehicle.
l
Installing electric components incorrectly could lead to a fire. Please refer to Modifica­tion/alteration to the electrical or fuel sys­tems section within this owner’s manual.
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 operation.
l
Tyres and wheels which do not meet specifi­cations must not be used. Refer to the “Specifications” section for in­formation regarding wheel and tyre sizes.

Important points!

Due to large number of accessory and replacement 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 at­tachment or installation of such parts affects the overall safety of your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.
Even when such parts are officially authorized, for example
by a “general operators permit” (an ap­praisal for the part) or through the execution of the part in an officially approved manner of construc­tion, or when a single operation permit following the attachment or installation of such parts, it can­not be deduced from that alone, that the driving safe­ty of your vehicle has not been affected.
Consider also that there basically exists no liability on the part of the appraiser or the official. Maxi­mum safety can only be ensured with parts recom­mended, sold and fitted or installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point (MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine replacement parts and MITSUBISHI MOTORS accessories). The same also pertains to modifications of MITSUBISHI vehicles with respect to the produc­tion specifications. For safety reasons, do not at­tempt any modifications other than those that fol­low the recommendations of a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
General information
04

Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system*

E00201500021
This
paragraph summarizes the major items of the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system such as the char­acteristics, operating procedures, etc. For details, re­fer to “Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system” on page 4-17. The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system reduces the emission of exhaust gases and increases fuel effi­ciency. The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system automatical­ly stops and restarts the engine without the use of the ignition switch or the engine switch when the vehicle is stopped, such as at traffic lights or in a traffic jam.

Activation

E00201600022
The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system is automati­cally activated when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is put in
ON.

Keyless operation system*

E00305600470
The
keyless operation system allows you to lock and unlock the doors and tailgate, start the engine and change the operation mode simply by carrying the keyless operation key with you. The keyless operation key can also be used as the keyless entry system remote control switch. Refer to “Keyless operation system: Keyless entry system” on page 1-18.
The driver should always carry the keyless opera­tion key. This key is necessary for locking and un­locking the doors and tailgate, starting the engine and otherwise operating the vehicle, so before lock­ing and leaving the vehicle, be sure to check that you have the keyless operation key.
WARNING
l
People
with implantable cardiac pacemak­ers or implantable cardiovascular-defib­rillators should not go near the exterior transmitters (A) or the interior transmit­ters (B). The radio waves used by the key­less operation system could adversely af­fect implantable cardiac pacemakers or implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators.
WARNING
l
When
using electro-medical devices other than implantable cardiac pacemakers or implantable cardiovascular-defibrilla­tors, contact the electromedical device manufacturer ahead of time to determine the affects of radio waves on the devices. Electromedical device operations could be affected 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.) Consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
• You can limit operations to locking and unlocking the doors and tailgate.
Locking and unlocking

• You can limit operations to starting the en­gine.
• The keyless operation system can be disa­bled.
When keyless operation system operations are modified, the transmitters operate as fol­lows.
• Only locking and unlocking doors or tail­gate: exterior and interior transmitters
• Only starting the engine: interior transmit­ter
NOTE
l
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 pow­er 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 person­al 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.
• 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 operate without using the keyless operation function” on page 1-17.
l
Because the keyless operation key receives signals in order to communicate with the trans­mitters in the vehicle, the battery continually wears down regardless of keyless operation key use. The battery life is 1 to 3 years, de­pending on usage conditions. When the bat­tery wears out, have it replaced at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l
Because the keyless operation key continual­ly receives signals, strong radio wave recep­tion could affect battery wear. Do not leave the key near a TV, personal computer, or oth­er electronic device.
Operating range of the keyless opera­tion system
E00305700367
If you are carrying the keyless operation key, enter the
operating range of the keyless operation sys­tem, and press the driver’s or front passenger’s door lock/unlock switch, the tailgate LOCK switch or the tailgate OPEN switch, the ID code for your key is verified.
You can only lock and unlock the doors and tail­gate,
start the engine and change the operation mode if the ID codes of your keyless operation key and the vehicle match.
NOTE
l
If
the keyless operation key battery is wear­ing out or there are strong electromagnetic waves or noise present, the operating range may become smaller and operation may be­come unstable.
