N00301001919
Your vehicle is designed to use unleaded gas-
oline only. It is equipped with a fuel tank
filler pipe especially designed to accept only
a small diameter unleaded gasoline dispens-
ing nozzle.
In the United States, fuel suppliers are
required by law to add detergents to their gas-
oline to minimize fuel-injector fouling and
minimize intake-valve deposits. Detergent
gasoline helps keep your engine in tune and
your emission-control system working prop-
erly.
Your vehicle is designed to operate on
unleaded gasoline having a minimum octane
number of 87 [(MON+RON)/2] or 91 RON.
Gasoline sold at some service stations con-
tains oxygenates such as ethanol, 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.
A mixture of up to 10% ethanol (grain alco-
hol) 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.
Do not operate your vehicle on gasoline con-
taining 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.
Many areas of the country require the use of
cleaner burning fuel referred to as “Reformu-
lated Gasoline”.
Reformulated gasoline contains oxygenates
and is specially blended to reduce vehicle
emissions and improve air quality.
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation strongly sup-
ports the use of reformulated gasoline. Prop-
erly blended reformulated gasoline has no
adverse effect on vehicle performance or the
durability of engine and fuel system.
MMT is a manganese-containing metallic
additive that is blended into some gasolines
to increase the octane number. Mitsubishi
Motors Corporation recommends using gaso-
lines without MMT.
Fuel selection
WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and explo-
sive. You could be burned, seriously
injured or killed when handling it. When-
ever you refuel your vehicle, stop the
engine and keep flames, sparks, and
smoking materials away from the vehicle.
Always handle fuel in well-ventilated out-
door areas.
CAUTION
Using leaded gasoline in your vehicle will
damage the engine, catalytic converter, and
the oxygen sensors. Also, using leaded gaso-
line is illegal, and will void your warranty
coverage of the engine, catalytic converter,
and oxygen sensors.

Filling the fuel tank
General information 3-3

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.
Your vehicle may have been designed to sat-
isfy 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 con-
verter and cause the engine malfunction indi-
cator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or
“Check engine light”) to come on. Illumina-
tion 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 gas-
oline to determine whether the problem is
fuel-related.
N00301101978
Sulfur in gasoline
NOTE
Poor-quality gasoline can cause problems
such as poor starting, stalling during idling,
abnormal engine noise, and poor accelera-
tion. If you experience any of these prob-
lems, try using a different brand of gasoline.
If the engine malfunction indicator (“SER-
VICE 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 depos-
its, thereby returning the engine to a normal
condition. Be sure to use a Mitsubishi
Motors Genuine cleaning additive. Using an
unsuitable additive could make the engine
malfunction. For details, please contact the
nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
Filling the fuel tank
WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and explo-
sive. You could be burned, seriously
injured or killed 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.
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, remov-
ing 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 elec-
tricity, 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) part-way 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.

All-wheel drive vehicles: 15.8 gal (60 L)
Front-wheel drive vehicles: 16.6 gal (63 L)
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.
3. Open the fuel tank filler pipe by slowly
turning the fuel tank filler cap counter-
clockwise.
4. While filling with fuel, hang the fuel cap
cord on the hook located on the inside of
the fuel tank filler door.
5. To fill with fuel correctly depends mainly
on correct handling of the fuel filler noz-
zle. Do not tilt the nozzle. Insert the noz-
zle in the fuel tank filler port as far as it
goes.
6. When the nozzle stops automatically, do
not try to add more fuel.
Keep the doors and windows closed while
refueling the vehicle. If they were open,
fuel vapor could get into the cabin.

WARNING
1- Remove
2- Close
WARNING
Since the fuel system may be under pres-
sure, remove the fuel tank filler cap
slowly. This relieves any pressure or vac-
uum 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.
CAUTION
Your vehicle can only be operated using
unleaded gasoline. Serious engine and cata-
lytic converter damage will result if leaded
gasoline is filled into these vehicles, and
consequently, this must never be attempted.
CAUTION
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not
“top-off” the fuel tank. Spilled fuel could
discolor, stain, or crack the vehicle’s paint-
work. If fuel spills on the paintwork, wipe it
off with a soft cloth.
