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 vehicleemissions 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 engine and fuel system. MMT is a manganese-containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasolinesto increase the octane number. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation recommends using gasolines without MMT.Use of gasolines blended with MMT may adversely affect performance, and cause the malfunction indicator on your instrumentpanel to come on. If this happens, contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice for assistance.
Your vehicle may have been designed to sat- isfy California’s low-emission regulationsbased on clean-burning low-sulfur gasoline. Gasoline sold in parts of the country other than California is allowed to have a highersulfur content. Using such gasoline could adversely affect the vehicle’s catalytic con- verter and cause the engine malfunction indi-cator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or“Check engine light”) to come on. Illumina- tion of this indicator while you are using high-sulfur gasoline does not necessarilymean the vehicle’s emis
sion-control system is
malfunctioning. Your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer may suggest you try using adifferent, lower-sulfur brand of unleaded gas- oline to determine whether the problem is fuel-related.
Reformulated gasoline MMT (methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl)
Sulfur in gasoline
NOTE
 Poor-quality gasoline can cause problems such as poor starting,
stalling during idling,
abnormal engine noise, and poor accelera- tion. If you experience any of these prob- lems, try using a different brand of gasoline.If the engine malfunction indicator (“SER- VICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”) flashes, have the vehicle inspected assoon as possible by the nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.  Repeatedly driving short distances at low speeds can cause deposits to form in the fuelsystem and engine, resulting in poor starting and poor acceleration. If these problems occur, you are advised to add a detergentadditive to the gasoline when you refuel the vehicle. The additive will remove the depos- its, thereby returning the engine to a normalcondition. Be sure to use a Mitsubishi Motors Genuine cleaning additive. Using an unsuitable additive could make the enginemalfunction. For details, please contact the nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

N00301100753
14.5 gal (55.0 L) 1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine. 2. The fuel tank filler is located on the reardriver side of your vehicle. The fuel tank filler door can be opened from inside the vehicle with the fuel tankfiller door release lever located at the left side of the driver’s seat. 3. Open the fuel tank filler pipe by slowly turning the cap counterclockwise.
4. While filling with fuel, store the cap in the capholder located on the inside of the fuel tank filler door.
Filling the fuel tank
WA R N I N G Gasoline is highly flammable and explo- sive. You could be burned, seriously injured or killed when handling it. When refueling your vehicle, always turn theengine off and keep away from flames, sparks, and smoking materials. Always handle fuel in well-ventilated outdoorareas. 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 bodycould create a spark that ignites fuel vapor. Perform the whole refueling process (opening the fuel tank filler door, remov- ing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself. Do notlet any other person come near the fuel tank filler. If you allowed a person to help you and that person was carrying staticelectricity, 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.

A- Remove B- Close WA R N I N G Since the fuel system may be under pres- sure, remove the fuel tank filler cap slowly. This relieves any pressure or vac-uum 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 stopsbefore removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, injuring you or others.
