The engine coolant temperature gauge indicator is at the “H” (hot) position. Steam comes out of the engine compartment.

The vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, or snow.

WARNING

The engine is overheated. Carefully stop the vehicle in a safe place.

Move the gearshift lever or selector lever rhythmically between 1st and Reverse gears (for vehicles with manual transaxle) or “Sports mode” and “R” (REVERSE) positions (for vehicles with automatic transaxle), while pressing lightly on the accelerator pedal.

● When attempting to rock your vehicle out of a stuck position, be sure that no one is near the vehicle. The rocking

motion may cause the vehicle to suddenly lurch forward or backward, possibly injuring bystanders.

● Avoid revving the engine or spinning the wheels. Prolonged efforts to free a stuck vehicle may result in overheating

and transaxle failure. If the vehicle remains stuck after several rocking attempts, have a towing service pull the vehicle out.

Problem Do this Ref. page

General information

Fuel selection

Your vehicle is designed to use unleaded gasoline only. It is equipped with a fuel filler tube especially designed to accept only a small diameter unleaded gasoline dispensing nozzle.

Gasoline detergent additives

In the United States, fuel suppliers are required by law to add detergents to their gasoline to minimize fuel-injector fouling and minimize intake-valve deposits. Detergent gasoline helps keep your engine in tune and your emission-control system working properly.

WARNING

● Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You

could be burned, seriously injured or killed when handling it. Whenever you refuel your vehicle, stop the engine and keep flames, sparks, and smoking materials away from the vehicle. Always handle fuel in well-ventilated outdoor areas.

CAUTION

● Using leaded gasoline in your vehicle will damage

the engine, catalytic converter, and the oxygen sensors. Also, using leaded gasoline is illegal, and will void your warranty coverage of the engine, catalytic converter, and oxygen sensors.

N00301000648

Octane requirement

2.4 liter engine model

Your vehicle is designed to operate on unleaded gasoline having a minimum octane number of 87 [(MON+RON)/2], or 91 RON.

3.8 liter engine model

Your vehicle is designed to operate on premium grade unleaded gasoline having a minimum octane number of 91 [(MON+RON)/2], or 95 RON. If premium grade unleaded gasoline is not available, unleaded gasoline having an octane number of 87 [(MON+RON)/2], or 91 RON may be temporarily use as an emergency measure, but only under the following precautions.

● Have the fuel tank filled only partially with unleaded regular gasoline, and fill up with unleaded premium gasoline as soon as possible.

● Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration.

MON: Motor Octane Number RON: Research Octane Number

Oxygenated gasoline

Gasoline sold at some service stations contains oxygenates such as ethanol and MTBE, although the oxygenates may not be identified by those names. Oxygenates are required in some areas of the country. Such fuel can be used in your vehicle.

1-2

General information

Ethanol (Gasohol)

A mixture of 10 % ethanol (grain alcohol) and 90 % unleaded gasoline may be used in your vehicle, provided the octane number is at least as high as that recommended for unleaded gasoline.

Methanol

Do not operate your vehicle on gasoline containing methanol (wood alcohol). Using this type of alcohol could adversely affect the vehicle’s performance and damage critical parts of the vehicle's fuel system.

Reformulated gasoline

Many areas of the country require the use of cleaner burning fuel referred to as “Reformulated Gasoline”. Reformulated gasoline contains oxygenates and is specially blended to reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation strongly supports the use of reformulated gasoline. Properly blended reformulated gasoline has no adverse effect on vehicle performance or on the durability of the engine and fuel system.

MMT (methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl)

MMT is a manganese-containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasolines to increase the octane number. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation recommends using gasolines without MMT. Use of gasolines blended with MMT may adversely affect performance, and cause the malfunction indicator on your instrument panel to come on. If this happens, contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice for assistance.

Sulfur in gasoline

Your vehicle may have been designed to satisfy California’s low-emission regulations based on clean-burning low-sulfur gasoline. Gasoline sold in parts of the country other than California is allowed to have a higher sulfur content. Using such gasoline could adversely affect the vehicle's catalytic converter and cause the engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or “CHECK ENGINE”) to come on. Illumination of this indicator while you are using high-sulfur gasoline does not necessarily mean the vehicle’s emission-control system is malfunctioning. Your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer may suggest you try using a different, lower-sulfur brand of unleaded gasoline to determine whether the problem is fuel-related.

OTE

● Poor-quality gasoline can cause problems such as poor starting, stalling during idling, abnormal engine noise, and poor acceleration. If you experience any of these problems, try using a different brand of gasoline. If the engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or “CHECK ENGINE”) flashes, have the vehicle inspected as soon as possible by the nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.

1-3

General information

● 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

detergent additive. Using an unsuitable additive could make the engine malfunction. For details, please contact the nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

WARNING

● Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You

could be burned, seriously injured or killed 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 get rid of

your body’s static electricity by touching a metal part of the car 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, 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, sitting on a seat) 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.

Filling the fuel tank

N00301100740

1-4

General information

Fuel tank capacity

17.7 gal (67 L)

Refueling

1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine.

2. The fuel tank filler is located on the rear driver side of your vehicle. To open the fuel tank filler door, hook a finger behind the door, and pull the door toward you.

3. Open the fuel tank filler pipe by slowly turning the cap counterclockwise.

A- Remove

B- Close

WARNING

● Since the fuel system may be under pressure,

remove the fuel tank filler 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.
