WARNING
CAUTION
Fuel selection
Your vehicle is designed to use unleaded gasoline only. It is equipped with a fuel tank
filler pipe specifically designed to accept only
a small diameter unleaded gasoline dispensing nozzle.
Gasoline is highly flammable and explo-
sive. 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.
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.
Gasoline detergent additives
In the United States, fuel suppliers are
required by law to add detergents to their gas-
N00301001980
oline to minimize fuel-injector clogging and
minimize intake-valve deposits. Detergent
gasoline helps keep your engine in tune and
your emission-control system working properly.
Octane requirement
Your vehicle is designed to operate on
unleaded gasoline having a minimum octane
number of 87 [(MON+RON)/2] or 91 RON.
Oxygenated gasoline
Gasoline sold at some service stations contains oxygenates such as ethanol, 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.
Ethanol (Gasohol)
A mixture of up to 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 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.
3-2 General information
Filling the fuel tank
3
NOTE
WARNING
WARNING
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 light”) to come on. Illumination of this indicator while using high-sulfur
gasoline does not necessarily mean the vehicle’s emission-control system is malfunctioning. Your authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer may suggest using a different, lowersulfur brand of unleaded gasoline to determine if the problem is fuel-related.
Poor-quality gasoline can cause problems
such as hard 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
light”) flashes, have the vehicle inspected as
soon as possible by the nearest authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility
of 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 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 Mitsubishi
Motors Genuine cleaning additive. Using an
unsuitable additive could make an engine
malfunction. For details, please contact the
nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
Filling the fuel tank
N00301102005
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. 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 tank filler 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 tank filler cap, etc.) by yourself; do not let any other person 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) part-way 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.

Refueling
1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine.
2. The fuel tank filler is located on the rear
driver 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 at the left
side of the driver’s seat.
3. Open the fuel tank filler pipe by slowly
turning the fuel tank filler cap counterclockwise.
AJA117951
1- Remove
2- Close
4. While filling with fuel, hang the fuel tank
filler cap cord on the hook located on the
inside surface of the fuel tank filler door.
Since the fuel system may be under pres-
sure, remove the fuel tank filler cap
slowly. This relieves any pressure or vacuum that might have built up in the fuel
tank. If the fuel tank filler cap is venting
vapor or if you hear a hissing sound, wait
until the sound stops before removing the
fuel tank filler cap. Otherwise, fuel may
spray out, injuring you or others.
5. To fill with fuel correctly depends mainly
on correct handling of the fuel filler nozzle. Do not tilt the nozzle. Insert the nozzle in the fuel tank filler port as far as it
goes.
Your vehicle can only be operated using
unleaded gasoline. Serious engine and catalytic converter damage will result if leaded
gasoline is filled into these vehicles, and
consequently, this must never be attempted.
6. When the nozzle stops automatically, do
not add more fuel.

WARNING
NOTE
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death in the event of an accident or sudden stop, all seatbacks should be kept in
the upright position while the vehicle is in
motion.
Seat belt performance during an accident
can be adversely affected if the seatbacks
are reclined. The more a seatback is
reclined, the more likely seat belt performance will be adversely affected. If the
seat belt is not properly positioned against
the body during an accident, there is
increased risk you will slide under the belt
and receive serious injury or death.

Arm rest
Switch off the heated seats when not in use.
Operate the heaters at the “HI” position for
quick heating. After the seat has become
warm, set the heater switch to the “LO” position to keep it warm. Slight variations in the
seat temperature may be felt while using the
heated seats. This is caused by the operation
of the heater’s internal thermostat and does
not indicate a malfunction.
Do not place heavy objects on the seat or
stick pins, needles, or other pointed objects
into the seat.
Do not place a blanket, cushion, or other
insulating material on the seat while using
the heater; doing so can cause the heater element to overheat.
