Your vehicle is designe
d to use unleaded gas-
oline only. It is equipped with a fuel tankfiller pipe specifically
designed to accept only
a small diameter unlea
ded gasoline dispens-
ing nozzle.In the United States, fuel suppliers arerequired by law to add detergents to their gas-
oline to minimize fuel-injector clogging andminimize intake-valve
deposits. Detergent
gasoline helps keep your engine in tune andyour emission-control system working prop-erly.Your vehicle is de
signed to operate on
unleaded gasoline having a minimum octanenumber of 87 [(MON+RON)/2] or 91 RON.Unleaded gasoline having a minimum octanenumber of 87 [(MON+RON)/2] or 91 RONmay be used, though it is recommended yourvehicle be operated on premium gradeunleaded gasoline having a minimum octanenumber of 91 [(MON+RON)/2], or 95 RON. To obtain maximum performance, premiumgasoline is recommended. Gasoline sold at some
service stations con-
tains oxygenates such as ethanol, although
the oxygenates may not be identified by thosenames. Oxygenates are required in someareas of the country. Oxygenated fuel can beused in your vehicle.A mixture of up to 10 % ethanol (grain alco-hol) and 90 % unleaded gasoline may be usedin your vehicle, provided the octane numberis at least as high as
that recommended for
unleaded gasoline.Do not operate your vehicle on gasoline con-taining methanol (wood alcohol). Using thistype of alcohol could adversely affect thevehicle’s performance
and damage critical
parts of the vehicl
e’s fuel system.
Many areas of the country require the use ofcleaner burning fuel referred to as “Reformu-lated Gasoline”.

WA R N I N GGasoline is highly flammable and explo-sive. You could be burned, seriouslyinjured or killed when handling it. When-ever you refuel your
vehicle, stop the
engine and keep fl
ames, 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, ca
talytic converter, and
the oxygen sensors. Also, using leaded gaso-line is illegal, and

Mitsubishi Motors Corporation strongly sup-ports the use of reform
ulated gasoline. Prop-
erly blended reformul
ated gasoline has no
adverse effect on vehicle performance or thedurability of the engine and the fuel system.MMT is a manganese-containing metallicadditive that is blende
d into some gasolines
to increase the octa
ne number. Mitsubishi
Motors Corporation recommends using gaso-lines without MMT.Use of gasolines blended with MMT mayadversely affect performance, and cause themalfunction indicator on your instrumentpanel to come on. If this happens, contact anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your
choice for assistance.
Your vehicle may have
been designed to sat-
isfy California’s low-emission regulationsbased on clean-burning low-sulfur gasoline.Gasoline sold in parts of the country otherthan California is allowed to have a highersulfur content. Using such gasoline couldadversely affect the ve
hicle’s catalytic con-
verter and cause the e
ngine malfunction indi-
cator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or“Check engine light”)
to come on. Illumina-
tion of this indicator
while using high-sulfur
gasoline does not necessa
rily mean the vehi-
cle’s emission-control
system is malfunction-
ing. Your authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer may suggest using a different, lower-sulfur brand of unleaded gasoline to deter-mine if the problem is fuel-related.
N00301101994
MMT (methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl) Sulfur in gasoline
NOTE
Poor-quality gasoline
can cause problems
such as hard starting, stalling during idling,abnormal engine noise
, and poor accelera-
tion. If you experience any of these prob-lems, try using a differ
ent brand of gasoline.
If the engine malfunc
tion indicator (“SER-
VICE ENGINE SOON” light”) flashes, have
the vehicle inspected as
soon as possible by the nearest authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility
of your choice.
Repeatedly driving s
hort distances at low
speeds can cause deposits to form in the fuelsystem and engine, resu
lting in hard starting
and poor acceleration.
If these problems
occur, you are advised to add a detergentadditive to the gasoline when you refuel thevehicle. The additive
will remove the depos-
its, thereby returning the engine to a normalcondition. Be sure
to use a Mitsubishi
Motors Genuine cleani
ng additive. Using an
unsuitable additive could make an enginemalfunction. For details,
please contact the
nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
Filling the fuel tank
WA R N I N GWhen handling fuel, comply with thesafety regulations displayed by garagesand filling stations.Gasoline is highly flammable and explo-sive. You could be burned, seriouslyinjured or killed when handling it. Whenrefueling your vehicle,
always turn the
engine off and keep
away from flames,
sparks, and smoking materials. Alwayshandle fuel in well-ventilated outdoorareas.NOTE

1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine.2. The fuel tank filler is located on the reardriver side of your vehicle.The fuel tank filler door can be openedfrom inside the vehicle with the fuel tankfiller door release lever located at the leftside of the driver’s seat.
3. Open the fuel tank filler pipe by slowlyturning the fuel tank filler cap counter-clockwise.
Before removing the fuel tank filler cap,be sure to get rid of your body’s staticelectricity by touching a metal part of thecar or fuel pump. Any
static electricity on
your body could create a spark thatignites fuel vapor.Perform the whole
refueling process
(opening the fuel tank filler door, remov-ing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself; do notlet any other
person near the fuel tank
filler. If you allowed
a person to help you
and that person was ca
rrying static elec-
tricity, fuel vapor could be ignited.Do not move away from
the fuel tank filler
until refueling is fi
nished. If you moved
away and did somethin
g else (for example,
sitting on a seat) part-way through therefueling process, you could pick up afresh charge of st
atic electricity.
Be careful not to inhale fuel vapor. Fuelcontains toxic substances.Keep the doors and wi
ndows closed while
refueling the vehicle. If they were open,fuel vapor could ge
t into the cabin.

any pressure or vac-
uum that might have built up in the fueltank. If the cap is venting vapor or if youhear a hissing sound, wait until the soundstops before removing the cap. Otherwise,fuel may spray out, in
juring you or others.

4. Fueling correctly depends mainly on cor-rect handling of the fuel filler nozzle. Donot tilt the nozzle. Insert the nozzle in thefuel tank filler port as far as it goes.
5. When the nozzle stops automatically, donot add more fuel.6. To re-install, turn the fuel tank filler pipecap slowly clockwise until you hear click-ing sounds, then gently push the fuel tankfiller door closed.
