Fuel selectionE00200102907Recommended fuelCetane number (EN590)
51 or higherCAUTIONlYour vehicle is designed to use only diesel
fuel that meets the EN590 standard.
Use of any other type of diesel fuel would
adversely affect the engine’s performance
and durability.
NOTE
l Due to the separation of paraffin, the fluidity
of the fuel decreases considerably as the tem-
perature falls.
Because of this fact there are two kinds of
fuel: “summer” and “winter”.
This must be considered in winter use.
Select either of the two kinds of fuel in ac-
cordance with ambient temperature. Above -5 °C: “Summer” diesel
Below -5 °C: “Winter” diesel
When travelling abroad, find out in advance
about the fuels served in local service stations.
l Poor-quality diesel fuel can cause deposits to
form in the injector, resulting in black smoke
and rough idling.
If these problems occur, you are advised to
add a cleaning additive to the diesel fuel
when you refuel the vehicle.
The additive will break up and remove the de-
posits, thereby returning the engine to a nor-
mal condition.
Be sure to use a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
GENUINE DIESEL FUEL SYSTEM
CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive
could make the engine malfunction. For de-
tails, please contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.Filling the fuel tank E00200202025WARNINGlWhen handling fuel, comply with the safe-
ty regulations displayed by garages and
filling stations.
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 If the tank cap must be replaced, use only
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS original part.
Fuel tank capacity
75 litres
Refueling 1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine.

2.The fuel tank filler is located on the rear left
side of your vehicle.
Type 1
Open the fuel tank filler door with the re-
lease lever located below the instrument panel.3. Open the fuel tank filler tube by slowly turn-
ing the cap anticlockwise.
A- Remove B- Close
Type 2
Slide the cover (1). Insert the key in the cap
(2) and unlock it.
Turn the cap and remove it.
CAUTIONl Since the fuel system may be under pres-
sure, remove the fuel tank filler tube cap
slowly. This relieves any pressure or vac-
uum that might have built up in the fuel
tank. If you hear a hissing sound, wait un-
til it stops before removing the cap. Oth-
erwise, fuel may spray out, injuring you
or others.
4. Insert the gun in the tank port as far as it
goes. Do not tilt the gun.
5. When the gun stops automatically, do not fill
with fuel any more.
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.

Installation of accessoriesE00200300875
We recommend you to consult your MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l The installation of accessories, optional
parts, should only be carried out within the
limits prescribed by law in your country, and
in accordance with the guidelines fitting in-
structions and warnings contained within the
documents accompanying the parts or acces-
sories.
l Improper installation of electrical compo-
nents may cause an electrical fire if incorrect-
ly fitted. Please refer to the Modification/al-
teration to the electrical or fuel systems sec-
tion within this owner’s manual.
l Using a cellular phone or radio set inside the
vehicle without an external antenna may
cause electrical system interference, which
could lead to unsafe vehicle operation.
l Tyres and wheels which do not meet specifi-
cations must not be used.
Refer to the “Specifications” section for in-
formation regarding wheel and tyre sizes.
l When fitting accessories, ensure that maxi-
mum gross vehicle weight and maximum
axle weight are not exceeded.
Important points!
Due to large number of accessory and replacement
parts of different manufactures available in the mar-
ket, it is not possible, not only for MITSUBISHI
MOTORS , but also for a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point, to check whether the at-
tachment or installation of such parts affects the
overall safety of your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.
Even when such parts are officially authorized, for
example by a “general operators permit” (an ap-
praisal for the part) or through the execution of the
part in an officially approved manner of construc-
tion, or when a single operation permit following
the attachment or installation of such parts, it can-
not be deduced from that alone, that the driving safe-
ty of your vehicle has not been affected.

Consider also that there basically exists no liability
on the part of the appraiser or the official. Only in
the case of parts ( MITSUBISHI MOTORS original
replacement or exchange parts as well as
MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine accessories) that
are recommended and released by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point and that are at-
tached or installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point can you assume, that op-
timal safety has been provided. The same also per-
tains to modifications of MITSUBISHI vehicle
with respect to the production specifications. For
your own safety, in such cases, you should only un-
dertake modifications according to the recommen-
dations of a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.Modification/alterations to the
electrical or fuel systems E00200400238
MITSUBISHI MOTORS CORPORATION has al-
ways manufactured safe, high quality vehicles. In
order to maintain this safety and quality, it is impor-
tant that any accessory that is to be fitted, or any
modifications carried out which involve the electri-
cal or fuel systems, should be carried out in accord-
ance with MITSUBISHI guidelines.CAUTIONl If the wiring interferes with any part of
the vehicle bodywork or improper instal-
lation methods are used, i.e. protective
fuses not installed, etc.), electronic devi-
ces may be adversely affected, possibly re-
sulting in an electrical fire or other fail-
ures that may cause an accident.
