General information

Fuel selection

E00200101942

Except for Clear Tec FFV

Recommended fuel

Unleaded petrol octane number (EN 228) 95 RON or higher

Clear Tec FFV

Unleaded petrol octane number (EN 228) 95 RON or higher, or Bio ethanol E 85

! WARNING

For Clear Tec FFV models, do not modify the fuel system or any of its components. Flexible fuel vehicles have fuel system components that were designed specifically for use with Bio ethanol. When replacing any of the fuel system components, be sure to replace them with components designed for use with Bio ethanol. Otherwise, engine damage, a vehicle fire, or personal injury could result.

For Clear Tec FFV models, do not use methanol instead of Bio ethanol E 85. Otherwise, engine damage, a vehicle fire, or personal injury could result.

! CAUTION

The use of leaded fuel can result in serious damage to the engine and catalytic converter. Do not use the leaded fuel.

NOTE

Your vehicle has 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.

Repeatedly driving short distance 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 your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

Poor quality petrol can cause problems such as hard 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.

For Clear Tec FFV models, fuel that contains a mixture of unleaded petrol 95 RON or higher, that meets the EN 228 fuel standard, and Bio ethanol E 85 can be used.

For Clear Tec FFV models, the appropriate fuel is indicated on a label on the inside of the fuel tank filler door.

2

For Clear Tec FFV models, the engine performance level will be the same regardless of whether unleaded petrol 95 RON or higher or high-quality Bio ethanol E 85 is used.

For Clear Tec FFV models, when the vehicle is to be left unused for a long period of time, it is recommended that the Bio ethanol E 85 in the fuel tank is replaced with unleaded petrol 95 RON or higher.

General information

Filling the fuel tank

E00200202012

! WARNING

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-venti- lated outdoor areas.

Before removing the fuel cap, be sure to get rid of your body’s static electricity by touching a metal part of either the car or the 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, 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 vapor could be ignited.

Do not move away from the fuel tank filler until refueling is finished. If you moved away and did something else (for example, cleaning your windscreen) partway through the refueling process, you could pick up a fresh charge of static electricity.

Be careful not to inhale fuel vapor. Fuel contains toxic substances.

Keep the doors and windows closed while refueling the vehicle. If they were open, fuel vapor could get into the cabin.

General information

Fuel tank capacity

RHD

47 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.

The fuel tank filler door can be opened from inside the vehicle with the fuel tank filler door release lever located the side of the driver’s seat.

LHD

3.Open the fuel tank filler tube by slowly turning the cap anticlockwise.

A- Remove

B- Close

! CAUTION

Since the fuel system may be under pressure, remove the fuel tank filler tube cap slowly. This relieves any pressure or vacuum that might have built up in the fuel tank. If the cap is venting vapor or if you hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops before removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, injuring you or others.

General information

4.To fill with fuel correctly depends mainly on correct handling of the fuel filler gun. Do not tilt the gun. Insert the gun in the tank port as far as it goes.

! CAUTION

A label which reads “UNLEADED FUEL ONLY” is attached to the fuel tank filler lid of vehicles which can only operate using unleaded petrol. Serious engine and catalytic converter damage will result if leaded petrol is filled into these vehicles, and consequently, this must never be attempted.

5.When the gun stops automatically, do not fill with fuel any more.

! CAUTION

To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “topoff” the fuel tank.

6.To close, turn the fuel tank filler tube cap slowly clockwise until you hear clicking sounds, then gently push the fuel tank filler door closed.

! CAUTION

If you need to replace the fuel tank filler tube cap, use only the cap specified for your model vehicle.

5

General information

NOTE

For Clear Tec FFV models, the fuel in the fuel tank is checked to determine the percentage of ethanol in the fuel in order to control the engine properly.

To ensure the accuracy of the ethanol check, it is recommended that the vehicle is refueled with 10 litres or more of fuel.

For Clear Tec FFV models, acceleration performance may drop on rare occasions during the fuel check after refueling. However, this does not indicate a malfunction and the acceleration performance will return to normal if you continue to drive the vehicle.

Installation of accessories

E00200300413

We recommend you to consult your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

The installation of accessories, optional parts, should only be carried out within the limits prescribed by law in your country, and in accordance with the guidelines fitting instructions and warnings contained within the documents accompanying the parts or accessories.

Improper installation of electrical components may cause an electrical fire if incorrectly fitted. Please refer to the “Modification/alterations to the electrical or fuel systems” section within this owner’s manual.

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.

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 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 vehicles has not been affected.

Consider also that there basically exists no liability on the part of the appraiser or the official. Only in case of parts (MITSUBISHI MOTORS original replacement or exchange parts as well as MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine accessories) that are recommended and released by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point and that are attached or installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point you can assume that optimal safety has been provided. The same also pertains to modifications of MITSUBISHI vehicle with respect to the production specifications. For your own safety, in such cases, you should only undertake modifications according to the recommendations of a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

General information

Modification/alterations to the electrical or fuel systems

E00200400267

MITSUBISHI MOTORS has always manufactured safe, high quality vehicles. In order to maintain this safety and quality, it is important that any accessory that is to be fitted, or any modifications carried out which involve the electrical or fuel systems, should be carried out in accordance with MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines.

! CAUTION

If the wiring interferes with any part of the vehicle bodywork or improper installation methods are used, i.e. protective fuses not installed, etc.), electronic devices may be adversely affected, possibly resulting in an electrical fire or other failures that may cause an accident.
