CAUTIONlDo 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 exhaust system.Filling the fuel tank
E00200204289WARNINGlWhen handling fuel, comply with the safe-
ty  regulations  displayed  by  garages  and
filling stations.
l Gasoline  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,  andsmoking  materials.  Always  handle  fuel  in
well-ventilated outdoor areas.
l 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  the 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,  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.WARNINGl Do  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  afresh charge of static electricity.
l If the tank cap must be replaced, use only
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine part.
