WA R N I N G When attempting to rock your vehicle out of
a stuck position, be sure that no one is
near the vehicle. The rocking motion may c
ause the vehicle to
suddenly lurch forward or backward, possibly injuring bystanders. Avoid revving the engine or spinning the
wheels. Prolonged efforts to free a stuck ve
hicle may result in overheating and transa
xle failure.
If the vehicle remains stuck after several rocking at
tempts, have a towing service pull the vehicle out.

Fuel selection 3-2 General information
3
N00301002004
Your vehicle is designed to use unleaded gas- oline only. It is equipped with a fuel tankfiller pipe specifically designed to accept only a small diameter unleaded gasoline dispens- ing nozzle. In the United States, fuel suppliers are required by law to add detergents to their gas-
oline to minimize fuel-injector clogging and minimize intake-valve deposits. Detergent gasoline helps keep your engine in tune and your emission-control system working prop-erly. Your vehicle is designed to operate on unleaded gasoline having a minimum octanenumber of 87 [(MON+RON)/2] or 91 RON. Gasoline sold at some service stations con- tains oxygenates such as ethanol, although the oxygenates may not be identified by thosenames. Oxygenates are required in some areas of the country. Oxygenated fuel can be used in your vehicle.
A mixture of up to 10 % ethanol (grain alco- hol) and 90 % unleaded gasoline may be usedin your vehicle, provided the octane number is at least as high as that recommended for unleaded gasoline. Do not operate your vehicle on gasoline con- taining methanol (wood alcohol). Using this type of alcohol could adversely affect thevehicle’s performance and damage critical parts of the vehicle’s fuel system. Many areas of the country require the use of cleaner burning fuel referred to as “Reformu- lated Gasoline”.Reformulated gasoline contains oxygenates and is specially blended to reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality.Mitsubishi Motors Cor
poration strongly sup-
ports the use of reformulated gasoline. Prop- erly blended reformulated gasoline has noadverse effect on vehicle performance or the durability of the engine and the fuel system.
Fuel selection
WA R N I N G Gasoline is highly flammable and explo- sive. You could be burned, seriouslyinjured or killed when handling it. When- ever you refuel your vehicle, stop the engine and keep flames, sparks, andsmoking materials away from the vehicle. Always handle fuel in well-ventilated out- door areas.CAUTION Using leaded gasoline in your vehicle will damage the engine, catalytic converter, and the oxygen sensors. Also, using leaded gaso-line is illegal, and will void your warranty coverage of the engine, catalytic converter, and oxygen sensors.
Gasoline detergent additives
Octane requirement
NOTE
 Premium fuel is recommended to improve the performance under severe conditions such as hot w
eather or towing.

Break-in recommendations 3-14 General information

However, you can add to the future perfor- mance and economy of your vehicle by observing the follow
ing precautions during
the first 300 miles (500 km).Drive your vehicle at moderate speeds during the break-in period.  Avoid revving the engine.  Avoid rough driving such as sudden starts, sudden acceleration, prolonged high- speed driving and sudden braking. These actions would have a detrimental effect onthe engine and lead to increased fuel andoil consumption; this could ultimately result in the malfunction of engine com- ponents. Be particularly careful to avoidfull acceleration while in low shift posi- tion (low gears).  Do not overload the vehicle. Stay within the seating capacity. Refer to “Cargo load precautions” on page 6-10. Refrain from towing a trailer or other vehicle. Refer to “Trailer towing” on page 6-11.

WA R N I N G Always adjust the shoulder belt anchor so that the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of your shoulder without touch- ing your neck. The shoulder belt should not be able to fall off your shoulder. Fail-ure to follow this instruction can adversely affect seat belt performance and increase the risk of serious injury or death in theevent of an accident. Adjust the shoulder belt anchor only when the vehicle is not in motion. Make sure the anchor is securely locked in position after adjusting it.

The operations possible with the F.A.S.T.- key can be modified as stated below. (Keyless entry operations are possible.) For details, contact an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer. • Enabling only the locking and unlocking of the doors and the liftgate• Enabling only the starting of the engine • Deactivating the F.A.S.T.-key
N00503201236
When a person enters the operating range ofthe F.A.S.T.-key while carrying the F.A.S.T.- key and presses the driver’s or front passen-ger’s door lock/unlock switch, the liftgate lock switch or the liftgate open switch, verifi- cation of the ID code is performed.The doors and the liftgate can be locked and unlocked and the engine can be started only when the ID codes of the vehicle andF.A.S.T.-key match.
The operating range is within approximately 2.3 feet (70 cm) of the driver’s and front pas- senger’s door lock/unlock switches, the lift- gate lock switch and the liftgate open switch.
NOTE
 The F.A.S.T.-key uses weak electromagnetic waves. In cases such as the following, operation may be improper or unstable. • The vehicle is near a facility that emits strong electromagnetic waves, such as a TVtransmitting tower, a power station, a radio station or an airport • The key is carried together with other com- munication devices such as cellular phones or radios, or electrical appliances such ascomputers • The F.A.S.T.-key touches or is covered by a metal object • A keyless entry system is being used nearby • The battery of the F.A.S.T.-key is run down • The vehicle is in a location with strong electromagnetic waves or noise
Use the emergency key in such circum- stances. Refer to “To operate without using the F.A.S.T.-key” on page 5-26.  The F.A.S.T.-key is constantly performing reception operations in its communication with the vehicle. This means that the batteryis always running down, regardless of how often the F.A.S.T.-key is used. The battery life is approximately 1 to 2 years, dependingon the usage conditions.  Since the F.A.S.T.-key is constantly perform- ing reception operations, the reception of strong electromagnetic waves can accelerate the running down of the battery. Do not placenear to electrical appliances such as televi- sions or computers.
