General information

Fuel selection

E00200101375

			Petrol-powered vehicles
			Unleaded petrol, octane number (EN228)
		Recommended	95 RON or higher
			Diesel-powered vehicles
			Cetane number (EN590)
			51 or higher

! CAUTION

●With petrol-powered vehicles, the use of leaded fuel can result in serious damage to the engine and catalytic converter.

●Diesel-powered vehicles are designed to use only diesel fuel that meets the EN 590 standard.

Use of any other type of diesel fuel can adversely affect the engine.

NOTE

●Since petrol-powered vehicles have a knock control system, you can use unleaded petrol 90 RON in emergencies if unleaded petrol 95 RON or higher is not available.

In such cases, no adjustments of the engine are necessary. However, with unleaded petrol of 90 RON engine performance will be reduced.

●Repeatedly driving short distances at very low speeds can cause deposits in the fuel system and engine, which can lead to poor starting ability or acceleration. If these problems occur, add a detergent additive to the petrol when refuelling. 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 cause engine malfunction. For details, please contact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorised Service Point.

Filling the fuel tank

E00200201321

! WARNING

●When handling fuel, comply with the safety regulations displayed by garages and filling stations.

●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 will ignite fuel vapour.

●Perform the entire refuelling process (opening the fuel tank filler door, removing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself. Do not allow any other person to come near the fuel tank filler. Discharge of static electricity from an assisting person might ignite the fuel vapours, too.

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

●If the tank cap must be replaced, use only a MITSUBISHI MOTORS original part.

General information

Fuel tank capacity

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

Refuelling

1.Before filling your vehicle with fuel, turn off 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 neck by slowly turning the cap anticlockwise.

Except for 2200 models

1- Remove

2- Close

4

For 2200 models

1- Remove

2- Close

General information

! CAUTION

●The fuel cap does not turn more than 90 degrees. Turning it further by force could damage the fuel cap.

●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 and injure you or others.

4.Insert the filler gun into the tank port as far as it will go.

! CAUTION

●Do not tilt the filler gun.

5.After the second automatic stop, do not fill with fuel anymore.

6.Reattach the fuel cap.

[Except for 2200 models]

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

[For 2200 models]

Fit the fuel cap with the cap handle sideways and turn it clockwise.

General information

Installation of accessories

E00200300598

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

●The installation of accessories, optional components, 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.

●Installing electric components incorrectly could lead to a fire. See 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 Authorised 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 authorised, 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. Maximum safety can only be ensured with parts recommended, sold and fitted or installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS authorised 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 authorised Service Point.

Modification/alterations to the electrical or fuel systems

E00200400368

MITSUBISHI MOTORS CORPORATION 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 guidelines.

! CAUTION

●If the wires interfere with the vehicle body or improper installation methods are used (protective fuses not included, etc.), electronic devices may be adversely affected, resulting in a fire or other accident.

General information
