mended
fuelUnleaded petrol octane num-
ber (EN228) 95 RON or higherCAUTIONlThe use of leaded fuel can result in seri-
ous damage to the engine and catalytic
converter. Do not use leaded fuel.
NOTE
l Your vehicle has the knock control system
so that you can use unleaded petrol 90 RON
as an emergent measure in case unleaded pet-
rol 95 RON or higher is not available on jour-
ney, etc. In such a case, you don’t need to ad-
just the engine specially.
In case of using unleaded petrol 90 RON, the
engine performance level is reduced.
l 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 vehi-
cle. The additive will remove the deposits,
thereby returning the engine to a normal con-
dition. Be sure to use a genuine
MITSUBISHI FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER.
Using an unsuitable additive could make the
engine malfunction. For details, please con-
tact 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 petrol.
If the check engine warning lamp flashes,
have the system checked as soon as possible
at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.Filling the fuel tank E00200202331WARNINGlGasoline 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, and
smoking 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 ig-
nited.
l Do not move away from the fuel tank fill-
er until refueling is finished. If you
moved away and did something else (for
example, cleaning your windscreen) part-
way through the refueling process, you
could pick up a fresh charge of static elec-
tricity.
l Be careful not to inhale fuel vapour. Fuel
contains toxic substances.

The key fits all locks.WARNINGl When bringing a key on flights, do not
press any switches on the key while on
the plane. If a switch is pressed on the
plane, the key emits electromagnetic
waves, which could adversely affect the
plane’s flight operation.
When carrying a key in a bag, be careful
that no switches on the key can be easily
pressed by mistake.
NOTE
l The key number is stamped on the tag as in-
dicated in the illustration.
Make a record of the key number and store
the key and key number tag in separate pla-
ces, so that you can order a key in the event
the original keys are lost.
l The key is a precision electronic device with
a built-in signal transmitter. Please observe
the following in order to prevent a malfunc-
tion. •Do not leave anywhere that is exposed to
direct sunlight, for example on the dash-
board.
• Do not dissemble or modify.
• Do not excessively bend the key or sub-
ject it to a strong impact.
• Do not expose to water.
• Keep away from magnetic key holders.
• Keep away from audio systems, personal
computers, TVs, and any other equip-
ment that generates a magnetic field.
• Do not wash with ultrasonic cleaners or
similar equipment.
• Do not leave the key where it may be ex-
posed to high temperature or high humid-
ity.
l The engine is designed so that it will not
start if the ID code registered in the immobil-
izer computer and the key’s ID code do not
match. Refer to the section entitled “Electron-
ic immobilizer” for details and key usage.Electronic immobilizer (Anti-
theft starting system) E00300201872
The electronic immobilizer is designed to signifi-
cantly reduce the possibility of vehicle theft. The
purpose of the system is to immobilize the vehicle
if an invalid start is attempted. A valid start attempt
can only be achieved (subject to certain conditions)
using a keyless operation system “registered” to
the immobilizer system.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle
have been programmed into the vehicle’s electron-
ics.
The immobilizer indication lamp comes on in the
event of a malfunction in the system electronics.
NOTE
l In the following cases, the vehicle may not
be able to receive the registered ID code
from the key. This means the engine will not
start even when the registered key is turned
to the “START” position. •When the key contacts a key ring or other
metallic or magnetic object (Type A)
