General information
Fuel selection
Your vehicle is designed to use unleaded gasoline only. It is
equipped with a fuel tank filler pipe especially designed to
accept only a small diameter unleaded gasoline dispensing nozzle.
1
!
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.
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.
N00301000811
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 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.
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.
1-2
General information
N
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 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 light”) 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 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 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
cleaning additive. Using an unsuitable additive could
make the engine malfunction. For details, please contact
the nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

General information
Filling the fuel tank
N00301100896
!
WARNING
● Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You
could be burned, seriously injured or killed when
1
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 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) 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.
Fuel tank capacity
All-wheel drive vehicles: 15.8 gal (60 L)
Front-wheel drive vehicles: 16.6 gal (63 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.
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.

General information
3. Open the fuel tank filler pipe by slowly turning the fuel
tank filler cap counterclockwise.
1- Remove
2- Close
4. While filling with fuel, hang the fuel cap cord on the hook
located on the inside of the fuel tank filler door.
!
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 the sound stops
before removing the 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.
!
CAUTION
● Your vehicle can only be operated using unleaded
1
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 try to add
more fuel.
!
CAUTION
● To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top-
off” the fuel tank. Spilled fuel could discolor, stain,
or crack the vehicle’s paintwork. If fuel spills on the
paintwork, wipe it off with a soft cloth.
7. To close, turn the fuel tank filler pipe 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 cap, use
only the cap specified for your model vehicle.
OTE
● If the fuel tank filler cap is not tight while driving, the
engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE
SOON” or “Check engine light”) may come on when the
onboard diagnostic (OBD) system performs a self check.
Always tighten the fuel tank filler cap until you hear at
least 3 clicks.
The indicator will go off after driving several times. If the
indicator does not go off, contact your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as
soon as possible.
!
WARNING
● Make sure the fuel tank filler cap is securely closed.
If the fuel cap were loose, fuel could leak, resulting
in a fire.

Your vehicle has seat belts and other features that help protect
you and your passengers in an accident.
Seat belts are the most important safety device. When worn
properly, seat belts can reduce the chance of serious injury or
death in various types of crashes. For added protection during a
severe frontal collision, your vehicle has a Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) with airbags for the driver and passengers. The seats, head restraints, and door locks also are safety
equipment, which must be used correctly.
Always check the following before you drive:
● That everyone in your vehicle is properly wearing their
seat belt.
● That infants and small children are properly secured in
appropriate child restraint systems in the rear seat.
● That all doors are fully closed and locked.
● That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly
adjusted.
Safety equipment cannot prevent injury or death in all motor
vehicle accidents. You can help reduce the risk of injury or
death, however, by following the instructions in this manual.
