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 occur, you are advised to add a detergent addi-
tive to the gasoline when you refuel the vehicle. The addi-
tive will remove the deposits, thereby returning the engine
to a normal condition. Be sure to use a genuine Mitsubishi
cleaning additive. Using an unsuitable additive could
make the engine malfunction. For details, please contact
the nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
Filling the fuel tank

!
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You
could be burned, seriously injured or killed 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.
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 fuel pump. Any static electricity on
your body could create a spark that ignites fuel
vapor.
Perform the whole refueling process (opening the
fuel tank filler door, removing 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
vapor could be ignited.
Do not move away from the fuel tank filler until
refueling is finished. If you moved away and did
something else (for example, sitting on a seat) part-
way through the refueling process, you could pick
up a fresh charge of static electricity.
Be careful not to inhale fuel vapor. Fuel contains
toxic substances.
Keep the doors and windows closed while refueling
the vehicle. If they were open, fuel vapor could get
into the cabin.

!
Since the fuel system may be under pressure,
remove the fuel tank filler 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
removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray out,
injuring you or others.

4. To fill with fuel correctly depends mainly on correct han-
dling of the fuel filler nozzle. Do not tilt the nozzle. Insert
the nozzle in the tank port as far as it goes.
5. When the nozzle stops automatically, do not try to add
more fuel.
6. To close, turn the fuel tank filler cap slowly clockwise
until you hear clicking sounds, then gently push the fuel
tank filler door closed.
NOTE
If the fuel tank filler cap is not tight while driving, the
engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE
SOON” or “Check engine light”) may come on when the
onboard diagnostic (OBD) system performs a self check.
Always tighten the fuel tank filler cap until you hear click-
ing sounds.
The indicator will go off after driving several times. If the
indicator does not go off, contact your authorized Mitsub-
ishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as
soon as possible.
CAUTION
!
Your vehicle can only be operated using unleaded
gasoline. Serious engine and catalytic converter
damage will result if leaded gasoline is filled into
these vehicles, and consequently, this must never be
attempted.
CAUTION
!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top-
off” the fuel tank. Spilled fuel could discolor, stain,
or crack the vehicle’s paintwork. If fuel spills on the
paintwork, wipe it off with a soft cloth.
WA R N I N G
!
Make sure the fuel cap is securely closed. If the fuel
cap was loose, fuel could leak, resulting in a fire.
CAUTION
!
If you need to replace the fuel tank filler cap, use
only the cap specified for your model vehicle.

Fuel gauge
N00519600052
This gauge shows the amount of fuel in the fuel tank when the
ignition key is turned to the “ON” position.NOTE
It takes a little time after refueling for the gauge to register
the newly added fuel.

If you refuel when the ignition key is in the “ON” posi-
tion, the gauge may differ from the actual level.
Fuel tank filler door markThe arrow (A) indicates that the fuel tank filler door is located
on the left side of the vehicle (Refer to “Filling the fuel tank”
on page 1-4).Low-fuel warning light
N00532000239
The warning light comes on with the ignition key in the “ON”
position when the fuel level is getting low.
Refuel as soon as possible.NOTE
On inclines or curves, due to the movement of fuel in the
tank, the low-fuel warning light may indicate incorrectly.
CAUTION
!
Do not drive with an extremely low fuel level. Run-
ning out of gas could cause damage to the catalytic
converter.
