Diesel-powered vehicles
Vehicles to comply with the Eu­ro 4 regulation

CAUTION
l
For petrol-powered vehicles, the use of lea­ded fuel can result in serious damage to the engine and catalytic converter. Do not use leaded fuel.
l
Diesel-powered vehicles to comply with the Euro 4 regulation are designed to use only diesel fuel that meets the EN590 standard. Use of any other type of diesel fuel would adversely affect the engine’s performance and durability.
CAUTION
l
For diesel-powered vehicles, if proper “winter” fuel is not used in winter, the die­sel preheat indication lamp may blink and the engine speed may not rise above the idling speed because of fuel freezing. In this case, keep the engine idling for about ten minutes, then turn off the igni­tion switch and immediately turn it on again to confirm that the diesel preheat in­dication lamp is off. (Refer to “Diesel pre­heat indication lamp” on page 3-08.)
NOTE
l
It is advisable to sufficiently warm up the en­gine
after starting it when the outside temper-
ature is below zero °C.
l
For diesel fuel, due to the separation of paraf­fin, the fluidity decreases considerably as the temperature falls. Because of this fact there are two kinds of fuel: “summer” and “winter”. This must be considered in winter use. Select either of the two kinds of fuel in ac­cordance with ambient temperature. Above -5 °C: “Summer” diesel Below -5 °C: “Winter” diesel When travelling abroad, find out in advance about the fuels served in local service stations.
l
Petrol-powered
vehicles have the knock con­trol system so that you can use unleaded pet­rol 91 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 91 RON, the engine performance level is reduced.
l
In petrol-powered vehicles, repeatedly driv­ing short distance 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 FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive could make the engine malfunction. For details, please contact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l
Poor quality petrol can cause problems such as hard 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.
General information
02
l
In
diesel-powered vehicles, poor-quality die­sel fuel can cause deposits form in the injec­tor, resulting in black smoke and rough idling. If these problems occur, you are advised to add a cleaning additive to the diesel fuel when you refuel the vehicle. The additive will break up and remove the deposits, there­by returning the engine to a normal condition. Be sure to use a genuine MITSUBISHI DIE­SEL FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive could make the engine malfunction. For details, please contact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

Filling the fuel tank

E00200201767
WARNING
l
When
handling fuel, comply with the safe­ty regulations displayed by garages and filling stations.
l
Before removing the fuel tank filler tube 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 vapour.
l
Perform the whole refueling process (opening the fuel tank filler door, remov­ing the fuel tank filler tube 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.
l
Do not move away from the fuel tank fill­er door 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.
l
If the fuel tank filler tube cap must be re­placed, use only a MITSUBISHI MOTORS original part.
Fuel tank capacity
3-door models: 69 litres 5-door models: 88 litres
Refueling
1.
Before filling with fuel, stop the engine.
2. The fuel tank filler is located on the rear right side of your vehicle. Open the fuel tank filler door with the re­lease lever located below the instrument panel.

3. Open the fuel tank filler tube by slowly turn­ing the cap anticlockwise.
A- Remove B- Close
CAUTION
l
Since
the fuel system may be under pres­sure, remove the fuel tank filler tube cap slowly. This relieves any pressure or vac­uum that might have built up in the fuel tank. If you hear a hissing sound, wait un­til it stops before removing the cap. Oth­erwise, fuel may spray out, injuring you or others.
4. Insert
the gun in the tank port as far as it goes.
CAUTION
l
Do not tilt the gun.
5. When
the gun stops automatically, do not fill
with fuel any more.
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.

Installation of accessories

E00200300774
We
recommend you to consult your MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l
The installation of accessories, optional 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.
l
Improper installation of electrical compo­nents may cause an electrical fire if incorrect­ly fitted. Please refer to Modification/altera­tion to the electrical or fuel systems section within this owner’s manual.
l
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.
l
Tyres and wheels which do not meet specifi­cations must not be used. Refer to the “Specifications” section for in­formation regarding wheel and tyre sizes.
l
When fitting accessories, ensure that maxi­mum gross vehicle weight and maximum axle weight are not exceeded.
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.
General information
04
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.
Modification/alterations to the
electrical or fuel systems
E00200400254
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.
CAUTION
l
If
the wiring interferes with any part of 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.

Electronic immobilizer (Anti-
theft starting system)
E00300201423
The
electronic immobilizer is designed to reduce significantly 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 using a key “registered” to the immobilizer system.
NOTE
l
In the following cases, the vehicle may not be able to receive the registered ID code from the registered key and the engine may not start.
• When the key contacts a key ring or other metallic or magnetic object (Type A)
• When the key grip contacts metal of an­other key (Type B)
• When the key contacts or is close to other immobilizing keys (including keys of oth­er vehicles) (Type C)
In cases like these, remove the object or additional key from the vehicle key. Then try again to start the engine. If the engine does not start, we recommend you to con­tact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au­thorized Service Point.
l
Electronic
immobilizer is not compatible with remote starting systems. Use of these sys­tems may result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection.
l
If
you lose your key, order a key from your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point as soon as possible. To obtain a replace­ment or extra spare key, take your vehicle and all remaining keys to your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point. All the keys have to be re-registered in the immobil­izer computer unit. The immobilizer can reg­ister up to 8 different keys for use.
CAUTION
l
Don’t
make any alterations or additions to the immobilizer system; alterations or additions could cause failure of the immo­bilizer.

Security alarm system*

E00301500468
The
security alarm system is designed to prevent un­lawful entry into the vehicle. It will alert people nearby if a door, the backdoor, or the bonnet is opened when the vehicle has not been unlocked us­ing the keyless entry system. Also, the alarm will be activated if any of the fol­lowing occur.
l
Attempt an unlawful moving of the vehicle. (the vehicle inclination detection function)
l
Detect a motion in the vehicle. (the interior intrusion detection function)
l
Disconnect the battery terminal.
The security alarm system is set to “active” when the vehicle leaves the factory. When making changes to the settings, please fol­low the procedure listed in the section titled “Chang­ing the system settings” on page 1-11.
CAUTION
l
Do
not modify or add parts to the securi­ty alarm system. Doing so could cause the security alarm to malfunction.
NOTE
l
The alarm system will not be activated if the doors (including the backdoor) have been locked using a key or the central door lock switch (instead of the keyless entry system).
l
If
the turn-signal lamps do not blink after the locking and unlocking operation using the keyless entry system, the security alarm sys­tem may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l
In the following situations, the security alarm system could be more likely to be acci­dentally activated.
• Using a car washer
• Taking the vehicle on a ferry
• Parking in an automated car park
• Leaving someone or a pet in the vehicle
• Leaving a window, door, or the sunroof open
• Leaving an unstable object such as a stuf­fed toy or accessory in the vehicle
• Suffering a continuous impact or vibra­tion by hail, thunder, etc.
The security alarm has four modes:
System preparation mode (approx. 20 seconds)
(The buzzer sounds intermittently, and the security alarm indicator (A) blinks)
Locking and unlocking
1-10
1
The system preparation time extends from the point at which all of the doors (including the back­door) are locked by the keyless entry switch to the point at which the system activation mode goes in­to effect. During this time, it is possible to temporarily open a door without using the keyless entry system and without causing the alarm to sound (for example, when you forget something inside the vehicle or re­alize that a window is open).
System armed mode
(The buzzer stops, and the security alarm indicator continues to blink slowly) Once the system preparation mode has ended, the system armed mode starts. If an unlawful opening of any of the doors (including the backdoor) or the bonnet is detected during the system armed mode, the alarm will be activated to warn people around the vehicle of an abnormal condition. Also, if unlawful moving of the vehicle is attemp­ted or a vehicle intrusion is detected, the alarm will be activated.
Alarm activation
The turn-signal lamps blink and the siren sounds for approximately 30 seconds. Refer to “Alarm ac­tivation” on page 1-14.
NOTE
l
The alarm will resume if unlawful actions are taken again, even if the alarm has stopped.
System cancellation
It is possible to cancel the system activation during the system preparation mode or the system armed mode. In addition, it is possible to cancel the alarm once it has been activated.
Refer to “Cancelling the system” on page 1-13, “Cancelling the alarm” on page 1-14.
NOTE
l
When lending the vehicle to another person or allowing the vehicle to be driven by some­one who is unfamiliar with the security alarm system, be sure to give the person a proper explanation of the security alarm sys­tem or set the security alarm system to the “in­active” mode. If a person who is unfamiliar with the securi­ty alarm system accidentally unlocked the ve­hicle, causing the alarm to sound, the alarm would be a nuisance to people nearby.
