Unleaded petrol octane num-
ber (EN228)
98 RON or higher
Your engine is designed to provide satisfactory per-
formance by using unleaded petrol octane number
98 RON or higher. In order to maintain engine per-
formance and exhaust system durability, use unlea-
ded petrol octane number 98 RON or higher.
CAUTION
lThe use of leaded fuel can result in seri-
ous damage to the engine and catalytic
converter. Do not use the leaded fuel.
NOTE
lYour vehicles have the knock control system
so that you can use unleaded petrol 95 RON
as an emergent measure in case unleaded pet-
rol 98 RON or higher is not available on jour-
ney, etc. In such a case, you don’t need to ad-
just the engine specially.
In case of using unleaded petrol 95 RON, the
engine performance level is reduced.
lRepeatedly 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 oc-
cur, you are advised to add a detergent addi-
tive to the gasoline when you refuel the vehi-
cle. The additive will remove the deposits,
thereby returning the engine to a normal con-
dition. Be sure to use a genuine
MITSUBISHI FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER.
Using an unsuitable additive could make the
engine malfunction. For details, please con-
tact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.
lPoor quality petrol can cause problems such
as hard starting, stalling, engine noise and hes-
itation. If your 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.
E10 type petrol
E00203200019
The petrol engines are compatible with the E10
type petrol (containing 10 % ethanol) conforming
to European standards EN 228.
CAUTION
lDo not use more than 10 % concentration
of ethanol (grain alcohol) by volume.
Use of more than 10 % concentration
may lead to damage to your vehicle fuel
system, engine, engine sensors and ex-
haust system.
Filling the fuel tank
E00200202100
WARNING
lWhen handling fuel, comply with the safe-
ty regulations displayed by garages and
filling stations.
lBefore removing the fuel cap, be sure to
get rid of your body’s static electricity by
touching a metal part of either the car or
the fuel pump. Any static electricity on
your body could create a spark that ig-
nites 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 ig-
nited.
lDo not move away from the fuel tank fill-
er until refueling is finished. If you
moved away and did something else (for
example, cleaning your windscreen) part-
way through the refueling process, you
could pick up a fresh charge of static elec-
tricity.
lIf the tank cap must be replaced, use only
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS original part.
