Fuel selection
Recommended
fuel
Unleaded petrol octane number (EN228)
95 RON or higher
CAUTION
The use of leaded fuel can result in seri-
l
ous damage to the engine and catalytic
converter. Do not use leaded fuel.
NOTE
Your vehicle has the knock control system
l
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 distances at low
l
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.
E00200102590
Poor quality petrol can cause problems such
l
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
WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and explo-
l
sive. 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.
Before removing the fuel cap, be sure to
l
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.
Perform the whole refueling process
l
(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.
Do not move away from the fuel tank fill-
l
er 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 vapour. Fuel
l
contains toxic substances.

General information
WARNING
Keep the doors and windows closed while
l
refueling the vehicle. If they were open,
fuel vapour could get into the cabin.
Fuel tank capacity
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.
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 pres-
l
sure, 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 vapour or if
you hear a hissing sound, wait until it
stops before removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, injuring you or
others.
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
l
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
l
not “top-off” the fuel tank.
03
General information
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
l
tube cap, use only the cap specified for
your model vehicle.
Installation of accessories
We recommend you to consult your MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
The installation of accessories, optional
l
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 compo-
l
nents may cause an electrical fire if incorrectly fitted. Please refer to the Modification/alteration to the electrical or fuel systems section within this owner’s manual.
Using a cellular phone or radio set inside the
l
vehicle without an external antenna may
cause electrical system interference, which
could lead to unsafe vehicle operation.
Tyres and wheels which do not meet specifi-
l
cations must not be used.
Refer to the “Specifications” section for information regarding wheel and tyre sizes.
E00200300413
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. Only in
the 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 can you 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.
04
General information
Modification/alterations to the
electrical or fuel systems
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.
E00200400267
CAUTION
If the wiring interferes with any part of
l
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.

When bringing a key on flights, do not
l
press any switches on the key while on
the plane. If a switch is pressed on the

that no switches on the key can be easily
pressed by mistake.

WARNING
E00300101653
The key is a precision electronic device with
l
a built-in signal transmitter. Please observe
the following in order to prevent a malfunction.
• Do not leave anywhere that is exposed to
direct sunlight, for example on the dashboard.
• Do not dissemble or modify.
• Do not excessively bend the key or subject it to a strong impact.
• Do not expose to water.
• Keep away from magnetic key holders.
• Keep away from audio systems, personal
computers, TVs, and any other equipment that generates a magnetic field.
• Do not wash with ultrasonic cleaners or
similar equipment.
• Do not leave the key where it may be exposed to high temperature or high humidity.
The engine is designed so that it will not
l
start if the ID code registered in the immobilizer computer and the key’s ID code do not
match. Refer to the section entitled “Electronic immobilizer” for details and key usage.
Electronic immobilizer (Anti-
theft starting system)
The electronic immobilizer is designed to significantly reduce the possibility of vehicle theft. The
purpose of the system is to immobilize the vehicle
if an invalid start is attempted. A valid start attempt
can only be achieved (subject to certain conditions)
using a keyless operation system “registered” to
the immobilizer system.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle
have been programmed into the vehicle’s electronics.
The immobilizer indication lamp comes on in the
event of a malfunction in the system electronics.
