Petrol-powered vehicles

number (EN228)
1600 models
95 RON or higher
2000 models
90 RON or higher
Diesel-powered vehicles
Cetane number (EN590)
51 or higher
CAUTION
lFor petrol-powered vehicles, the use of lea-
ded fuel can result in serious damage to the
engine and catalytic converter. Do not use
leaded fuel.
lDiesel-powered vehicles are designed to use
only diesel fuel that meets the EN 590 stand-
ard.
Use of any other type of diesel fuel (bio die-
sel, methyl ester, etc.) would adversely af-
fect the engine’s performance and durability.
NOTE
lPetrol-powered vehicles have the knock con-
trol system so that you can use unleaded pet-
rol 90 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 90 RON, the engine performance lev-
el is reduced.
lFor diesel fuel, due to the separation of par-
affin, the fluidity of the fuel decreases con-
siderably 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 ac-
cordance 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 sta-
tions.
NOTE
lRepeatedly 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 oc-
cur, you are advised to add a detergent addi-
tive to the gasoline when you refuel the ve-
hicle. The additive will remove the deposits,
thereby returning the engine to a normal
condition. Be sure to use a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE FUEL SYSTEM
CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive
could make the engine malfunction. For de-
tails, please contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
lPoor quality petrol can cause problems such
as difficult starting, stalling, engine noise
and hesitation. If you experience these prob-
lems, try another brand and/or grade of pet-
rol.
If the check engine warning lamp flashes,
have the system checked as soon as possible
at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.

Graphical expression for con-
sumer information
Identifier for petrol-type fuels
E5: Petrol fuel containing up to 2.7 % (m/m)
oxygen or up to 5.0 % (V/V) ethanol – Eg.
EN 228 compliant unleaded petrol
E10: Petrol fuel containing up to 3.7 %
(m/m) oxygen or up to 10.0 % (V/V) ethanol
– Eg. EN 228 compliant unleaded petrol
The petrol engine are compatible with E5
type petrol (containing 5 % ethanol) and E10
type petrol (containing 10 % ethanol) con-
forming to European standards EN 228.
CAUTION
Do not use more than 10 % concentration of etha-
nol (grain alcohol) by volume.
Use of more than 10 % concentration may lead to
damage to your vehicle fuel system, engine, en-
gine sensors and exhaust system.
Identifier for diesel-type fuels
B7: Diesel fuel containing up to 7.0 % (V/V)
Fatty Acid Methyl Esters – Eg. EN 590 com-
pliant diesel
The diesel engine are compatible with B7
type diesel (containing 7 % fatty acid methyl
esters) conforming to European standards
EN590.
CAUTION
Do not use more than 7 % concentration of fatty
acid methyl esters (bio diesel) by volume.
Use of more than 7 % concentration would ad-
versely affect the engine’s performance and dura-
bility.
Filling the fuel tank
E00200204289
WARNING
lWhen handling fuel, comply with the safe-
ty regulations displayed by garages and
filling stations.
WARNING
lGasoline is highly flammable and explo-
sive. You could be burned or seriously in-
jured 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.
lBefore removing the fuel cap, be sure to
get rid of your body’s static electricity by
touching a metal part of the car or the
fuel pump. Any static electricity on your
body could create a spark that ignites fuel
vapour.
lPerform the whole refueling process
(opening the fuel tank filler door, remov-
ing 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 vapour could be ignited.
lDo not move away from the fuel tank fill-
er until refueling is finished. If you moved
away and did something else (for exam-
ple, sitting on a seat) part-way through
the refueling process, you could pick up a
fresh charge of static electricity.
lIf the tank cap must be replaced, use only
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine part.

Refueling
1. Before filling with fuel, stop 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 tube by slowly
turning the cap anticlockwise.
Except for diesel-powered vehicles 1600 models
Diesel-powered vehicles 1600 models
1- Remove
2- Close
CAUTION
lFor diesel-powered 1600 models, the fuel
cap does not turn more than 90 degrees.
Turning forcibly could damage the fuel cap.
lSince 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, injuring you or others.
4. While filling with fuel, hang the fuel cap
cord on the hook located on the inside of
the fuel tank filler door.
5. Insert the gun in the tank port as far as it
goes.
CAUTION
lDo not tilt the gun.
