Petrol-powered vehicles Unleaded petrol octanenumber (EN228) 1600 models, 1800 mod-
els 95 RON or higher
2000 models 90 RON or higher
Diesel-powered vehicles Cetane number (EN590)51 or higherCAUTIONl For petrol-powered vehicles, the use of lea-
ded fuel can result in serious damage to the engine and catalytic converter. Do not use leaded fuel.
l Diesel-powered vehicles are designed to use
only diesel fuel that meets the EN590 stand-
ard.
Use of any other type of diesel fuel (bio die-
sel, methylester, etc.) would adversely affect the engine’s performance and durability.NOTEl Petrol-powered vehicles have the knock con-
trol system so that you can use unleaded pet-
rol 90 RON as an emergent measure in case unleaded petrol 95 RON or higher is notavailable 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 performance lev-
el is reduced.
l For diesel fuel, due to the separation of par-
affin, the fluidity of the fuel decreases con- siderably as the temperature falls.
Because of this fact there are two kinds of
fuel: “summer” and “winter”.
This must be considered in winter use.
Select either of the two kinds of fuel in ac- cordance with ambient temperature. Above -5 °C: “Summer” diesel
Below -5 °C: “Winter” diesel
When travelling abroad, find out in advance
about the fuels served in local service sta- tions.NOTEl 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 oc-
cur, you are advised to add a detergent addi- tive to the gasoline when you refuel the ve- hicle. The additive will remove the deposits,thereby returning the engine to a normal
condition. Be sure to use a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE FUEL SYSTEM
CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive
could make the engine malfunction. For de- tails, please contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l Poor quality petrol can cause problems such
as difficult starting, stalling, engine noise
and hesitation. If you experience these prob- lems, try another brand and/or grade of pet-
rol.
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
E00203200022
The petrol engines are compatible with E10

Even when such parts are officially author-
ized, for example by a “general operators permit” (an appraisal for the part) or throughthe execution of the part in an officially ap-
proved manner of construction, or when a single operation permit following the attach-
ment or installation of such parts, it cannot be deduced from that alone, that the drivingsafety of your vehicle has not been affected.
Consider also that there basically exists no li-
ability on the part of the appraiser or the offi-
cial. Maximum safety can only be ensured
with parts recommended, sold and fitted or
installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point ( MITSUBISHI
MOTORS genuine replacement parts and

same also pertains to modifications of
MITSUBISHI vehicles with respect to the
production specifications. For safety reasons, do not attempt any modifications other than those that follow the recommendations of a

Seat adjustmentE00400300271
Adjust the driver’s seat so that you are com- fortable and that you can reach the pedals,
steering wheel, switches etc. while retaining a clear field of vision.WARNINGl Do not attempt to adjust the seat while
driving. This can cause loss of vehicle con- trol and result in an accident. After ad-
justments are made, ensure the seating is locked in position by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without
using the adjusting mechanism.
l Do not let children or adults ride in areas
of the vehicle that are not equipped with seats or seat belts. Also, make sure that all
occupants are sitting in their seats and wearing their seat belts, and that children
are sitting in child restraints.
l To minimize the risk of personal injury in
the event of a collision or sudden braking,the seatbacks should always be in the al-
most upright position while the vehicle is in motion. The protection provided by theseat belts may be reduced significantly
when the seatback is reclined. There is greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in serious in- jury, when the seatback is reclined.CAUTIONl Make sure the seat is adjusted by an adult or
with adult supervision for correct and safe operation.
l Do not place a cushion or the like between
your back and the seatback while driving.The effectiveness of the head restraints will
be reduced in the event of an accident.
l When sliding the seat rearward, be careful
not to catch your hand or foot.Front seat

Pregnant women restraintE00405600077WARNINGlSeat belts work for everyone, including
pregnant women. Pregnant women should
use the available seat belts. This will re- duce the likelihood of injury to both thewoman and the unborn child. The lap belt
should be worn across the thighs and as snug against the hips as possible, but not
across the waist. Consult your doctor if you have any additional questions or con-
cerns.Seat belt pretensioner
system and force limiter
system E00405700166
The driver’s seat and front passenger’s seateach have a seat belt equipped with a preten- sioner system.
Pretensioner system
E00405801135
When the ignition switch or the operation
mode is under the following conditions, if there is a frontal impact or a side impact (ve-
hicles equipped with SRS side airbags and SRS curtain airbags) severe enough to injure
the driver and/or front passenger, the preten-
sioner system will retract their respective seat belts instantaneously, thus maximizing the
seat belt’s effectiveness.
[Except for vehicles equipped with keyless operation system]
The ignition switch is in the “ON” or
“START” position.
[Vehicles equipped with keyless operation system]
The operation mode is in ON.
WARNINGl To obtain the best results from your pre-
tensioner seat belt, make sure you have adjusted your seat correctly and wear your seat belt properly.CAUTIONl Installation of audio equipment or repairs in
the vicinity of the pretensioner seat belts or
floor console must be performed in line with MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines. It is
important to do so because the work could affect the pretensioner systems.
l If you need to scrap the vehicle, please con-
sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
It is important to do so because unexpected activation of the pretensioner seat belts
could cause injuries.NOTEl The pretensioner seat belts will be activated
if the vehicle suffers a severe frontal impact or a severe side impact (vehicles equipped
with SRS side airbags and SRS curtain air- bags), even if the seat belts are not worn.
l The pretensioner seat belts are designed to
work only once. After the pretensioner seat belts have been activated, we recommend
you have it replaced by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.SRS warning
