OTE
●Petrol-powered vehicles have the knock control system so
that you can use unleaded petrol 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 per-
formance level is reduced.
●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 nor-
mal condition. Be sure to use a genuine MITSUBISHI
FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER. Using an unsuitable addi-
tive could make the engine malfunction. For details,
please contact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
●Poor quality petrol can cause problems such as hard start-
ing, stalling, engine noise and hesitation. If your experi-
ence 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.
Recom-
mended fuel
Petrol-powered vehicles
Unleaded petrol octane number (EN228)
95 RON or higher
Diesel-powered vehicles
Cetane number (EN590)
51 or higher
CAUTION
!
●For petrol-powered vehicles, the use of leaded fuel
can result in serious damage to the engine and cata-
lytic converter. Do not use the leaded fuel.
●Diesel-powered vehicles are designed to use only die-
sel fuel that meets the EN 590 standard.
Use of any other type of diesel fuel would adversely
affect the engine’s performance and durability.

Filling the fuel tank
E00200200698
Fuel tank capacity
65 litres
Refuelling
1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine.
2. The fuel tank filler is located on the rear left 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
below the instrument panel.
WARNING
!
●Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You
could be burned or seriously injured when handling
it. When refuelling your vehicle, always turn the
engine off and keep away from flames, sparks, and
smoking materials. Always handle fuel in well-venti-
lated outdoor areas.
●Before removing the fuel 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.
●Perform the whole refuelling process (opening the
fuel tank filler door, removing 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.
●Do not move away from the fuel tank filler until
refuelling is finished. If you moved away and did
something else (for example, cleaning your wind-
screen) part-way through the refuelling process, you
could pick up a fresh charge of static electricity.
●Be careful not to inhale fuel vapour. Fuel contains
toxic substances.
●Keep the doors and windows closed while refuelling
the vehicle. If they were open, fuel vapour could get
into the cabin.

3. Open the fuel tank filler tube by slowly turning the cap
anticlockwise.
RHD
A- Remove
B- Close
CAUTION
!
●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 the cap is venting vapour
or if you hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops
before removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray
out, injuring you or others.

4. To fill with fuel correctly depends mainly on correct han-
dling of the fuel filler gun. Do not tilt the gun. Insert the
gun in the tank port as far as it goes.
5. When the gun stops automatically, remove the gun half
the way in the tank port. After the second automatic stop,
do not fill with fuel any more.
6. To close, turn the fuel tank filler tube cap slowly clock-
wise until you hear clicking sounds, then gently push the
fuel tank filler door closed.
Installation of accessories
E00200300745
We recommend you to consult your MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
●The installation of accessories, optional parts, etc., 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.
●Improper installation of electrical components may cause
an electrical fire if incorrectly fitted. Please refer to the
Modification/alteration to the electrical or fuel systems
section within this owner’s manual.
●Using a cellular phone or radio set inside the vehicle with-
out an external antenna may cause electrical system inter-
ference, 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.
CAUTION
!
●A label which reads “UNLEADED FUEL ONLY” is
attached to the fuel tank filler lid of vehicles which
can only operate using unleaded petrol. Serious
engine and catalytic converter damage will result if
leaded petrol is filled into these vehicles, and conse-
quently, this must never be attempted.
CAUTION
!
●To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top-
off” the fuel tank.
CAUTION
!
●If you need to replace the fuel tank filler tube cap,
use only the cap specified for your model vehicle.

General information
Important points!
Due to the large number of accessory and replacement parts of
different manufactures available in the market, it is not possi-
ble, not only for MITSUBISHI MOTORS, but also a MIT-
SUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point, to check
whether the attachment or installation of such parts affects the
driving safety of your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.
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 man-
ner of construction, or when a single operation permit follow-
ing the attachment or installation of such parts, it cannot be
deduced from that alone, that the driving safety of your vehi-
cles 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 (MIT-
SUBISHI MOTORS original replacement or exchange parts as
well as MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine accessories) that are
recommended and released by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorised 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 vehicles with
respect to the production specifications. For your own safety, in
such cases as well, you should only undertake modifications
according to the recommendations of a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Modification/alterations to the electrical or
fuel systems
E00200400238
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 modi-
fications carried out which involve the electrical or fuel sys-
tems, should be carried out in accordance with MITSUBISHI
MOTORS guidelines.
CAUTION
!
●If the wiring interferes with any part of the vehicle
body work or improper installation methods are
used, i.e. protective fuses not installed, etc., elec-
tronic devices may be adversely affected, possibly
resulting in an electrical fire or other failures that
may cause an accident.
