fuel
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
type petrol (containing 10 % ethanol) con- forming to European standards EN 228.

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
E00200204120WARNINGlWhen 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.

Safety and disposalinformation for used engine
oil E00200600155WARNINGlProlonged and repeated contact may
cause serious skin disorders, including
dermatitis and cancer.
l Avoid contact with the skin as far as pos-
sible and wash thoroughly after any con- tact.
l Keep used engine oils out of reach of chil-
dren.
Protect the environment
It is illegal to pollute drains, water courses
and soil. Use authorized waste collection fa-cilities, including civic amenity sites and ga- rages providing facilities for disposal of used
oil and used oil filters. If in doubt, contact your local authority for advice on disposal.
Disposal information for
used batteries E00201300032Your vehicle contains batter-
ies and/or accumulators.
Do not mix with general household waste.
For proper treatment, recov-
ery and recycling of used bat-
teries, please take them to ap- plicable collection points, in accordance with your nation-
al legislation and the Direc- tives 2006/66/EC.
By disposing of these batter- ies correctly, you will help to
save valuable resources and
prevent any potential nega-
tive effects on human health and the environment which could otherwise arise frominappropriate waste handling.Auto Stop & Go (AS&G)
system* E00201500021This paragraph summarizes the major itemsof the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system
such as the characteristics, operating proce- dures, etc. For details, refer to “Auto Stop &
Go (AS&G) system” on page 6-19.

The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system re- duces the emission of exhaust gases and in- creases fuel efficiency.
The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system auto- matically stops and restarts the engine with-
out the use of the ignition switch or the en- gine switch when the vehicle is stopped, such
as at traffic lights or in a traffic jam.
Activation
E00201600051
The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system is auto- matically activated when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the opera-
tion mode is put in ON.

System characteristics
E00202300055
The principle of the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system is that it adapts to the vehi- cle’s needs (i.e. energy supply). This means
that in certain circumstances the engine will not stop and in other circumstances the en-
gine will restart by itself.

NOTElThe engine is designed so that it will not
start if the ID code registered in the immo- bilizer computer and the key’s ID code do
not match. Refer to the “Electronic immobil-
izer” section for details and key usage.
l [For vehicles equipped with the security
alarm system]
Pay attention to the following if the security alarm is set to “Active”.
Refer to “Security alarm system” on page
3-32.
• If the security alarm is in the system
armed mode, the alarm will sound if the doors are opened after being unlocked
with the key, the inside lock knob or the
central door lock switch.
• Even if the security alarm is set to “Ac-
tive”, the system preparation mode is not
entered if the keyless entry system or the keyless operation function was not used to
lock the vehicle.Electronic immobilizer

[For vehicles equipped with keyless opera-tion system]
For information on operations for vehicles equipped with the keyless operation system,
refer to “Keyless operation system: Electron- ic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting system)”
on page 3-13.
[Except vehicles equipped with keyless oper-
ation system]
The electronic immobilizer is designed to significantly reduce the possibility of vehicle
theft. The purpose of the system is to immo-
bilize the vehicle if an invalid start is attemp-
ted. A valid start attempt can only be ach- ieved by using a key “registered” to the im-mobilizer system.NOTEl In the following cases, the vehicle may not
be able to receive the registered ID code from the registered key and the engine may
not start.
• When the key contacts a key ring or other
metallic or magnetic object.
• When the key grip contacts metal of an-
other key.
NOTE
• When the key contacts or is close to other
immobilizing keys (including keys of oth-er vehicles).
In cases like these, remove the object or additional key from the vehicle key. Then
try again to start the engine. If the engine
does not start, we recommend you to con-
