When the ignition switch is in the ”ACC” position, the outside tempera-
ture and clock are displayed in the multi centre display. When the igni-
tion switch is in the ”ON” position, the average fuel consumption is dis-
played besides outside temperature and digital clock.
If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic air conditioning system,
set temperature, blower speed and air flow are displayed. (Refer to
”Automatic air conditioning” on page 6–36.)

For vehicles without MITSUBISHI genuine audio, only average
fuel consumption is displayed.
For vehicles with MITSUBISHI genuine audio, driving range and
average speed can be displayed besides average fuel con-
sumption by pushing the DISP button in the audio unit.
NOTE
(1) The display unit (ex. km or mile) and brightness can be changed
as desired. (Refer to ”Display brightness adjustment/Display unit
selection” on page 4–31.) When the system cannot provide a
definite value for average fuel consumption/driving range/aver-
age speed, it is displayed as ”– – –”.
(2) The figure of the display varies according to the conditions under
which a vehicle is travelling (road conditions, the manner in which
the vehicle is being driven, etc.).
Observe display for reference because the figure of the display

3. Open the fuel tank filler tube by slowly
turning the cap anticlockwise.
NOTE
Put the fuel tank cap on the cap holder (C)
while refueling.
CAUTION
Since the fuel system may be under
pressure, remove the fuel tank filler
tube cap slowly. This relieves any
pressure or vacuum that might have
built up in the fuel tank. If the cap is
venting vapor or if you hear a hissing
sound, wait until it stops before re-
moving the cap. Otherwise, fuel may
spray out, injuring you or others.
4. To fill with fuel correctly depends main-
ly on correct handling of the fuel filler
gun. Do not tilt the gun. Insert the gun
in the tank port as far as it goes.
CAUTION
Petrol–powered vehicles have a label
located on the fuel tank filler lid that
states, ”UNLEADED FUEL ONLY”.
The vehicle also has a fuel tank filler
tube especially designed to accept
the smaller diameter unleaded petrol
dispensing nozzles only.
If the tank cap must be replaced, use
only a MITSUBISHI original part
specified for your vehicle.

STARTING AND DRIVING

5. When the gun stops automatically, re-
move the gun half the way in the tank
port. After the second automatic stop,
do not fill with fuel any more.
CAUTION
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling,
do not ”top–off” the fuel tank.
6. To close, turn the fuel tank filler tube
cap slowly clockwise until you hear
clicking sounds, then gently push the
fuel tank filler door closed.
CAUTION
If you need replace the fuel tank filler
tube cap, use only the cap specified
for your model vehicle.
C18A001a
Catalytic converterEC18A-Jc
For ordinary use, there are no particular pre-
cautions except that of using unleaded pet-
rol.
The exhaust gas scavenging device with
catalytic converter is extremely efficient for
the reduction of noxious gases. The catalytic
converter is installed in the exhaust system.
It is important to keep the engine properly
tuned to ensure proper catalyst operation
and prevent possible catalyst damage.
CAUTION
Damage to the catalytic converter can
result if your vehicle is not kept in
proper operating condition. In the
event of an engine malfunction par-
ticularly involving engine misfire or
other apparent loss of performance
have your vehicle serviced promptly.
Continued operation of your vehicle
with a severe overheated condition
may result in possible damage to the
converter and vehicle.
WARNING
(1) As with any vehicle, do not park
or operate this vehicle in areas
where combustible materials
such as dry grass or leaves can
come into contact with a hot ex-
haust since a fire could occur.
(2) Undercoating paint should not be
applied to the catalytic converter.
