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.
