Your vehicle is designe
d to use unleaded gas-
oline only. It is equipped with a fuel tank filler pipe specifically
designed to accept only
a small diameter unlea
ded 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 de
signed to operate on
unleaded gasoline having a minimum octane number 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 those
names. Oxygenates
are required in some
areas of the country. Such fuel can be used in your vehicle. A mixture of up to 10 % ethanol (grain alco- hol) and 90 % unleaded
gasoline may be used
in 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 vehicl
e’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 ble
nded to reduce vehicle
emissions and improve air quality. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation strongly sup- ports the use of reformulated gasoline. Prop-erly blended reformul
ated gasoline has no
adverse effect on vehicle performance or the durability of the engine and fuel system. MMT is a manganese-
containing metallic
additive that is ble
nded into some gasolines
to increase the octane number. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation recommends using gaso-lines without MMT.
Fuel selection
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-ever you refuel your
vehicle, stop the
engine and keep fl
ames, sparks, and
smoking 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, ca
talytic converter, and
the oxygen sensors. Also, using leaded gaso- line is illegal, and
will void your warranty

N00508700330
Advanced automobile manufacturing tech- niques permit you to operate your new vehi- cle without requiring
a long break-in period
of low-speed driving. However, you can add to the future perfor- mance and economy of your vehicle byobserving the followi
ng 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 would have a detrimen
tal effect on the
engine and also cause increased fuel and oil consumption, wh
ich could result in
malfunction of the engine components. Beparticularly careful to
avoid full accelera-
tion while in low shift position (low gears). Do not overload the ve
hicle. Stay within
the seating capacity. (Refer to “Cargo load precautions” on page 6-10.) Do not use this vehi
cle for trailer towing.

Catalytic converter
Vehicle care and maintenance 9-3

N00937400450
The catalytic converter requires you to use unleaded fuel only. Leaded gasoline will destroy the emission-c
ontrol effectiveness of
the converter. Normally, the catalyti
c converter does not
require maintenance. However, it is important to keep the engine properly tuned for the con- verter to continue to work properly.
To reduce the possibili
ty of catalytic con-
verter damage: Use UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY of the type of recommended in the “Fuel selection”. Do not drive with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of gas could damage the catalytic converter. Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle. If the battery is weak or run down, use jumper cables toproperly start the engine.
Do not idle the engine with any spark plug wires disconnected or
removed, such as
when performing diagnostic tests. Do not idle the engine for a long time if it is idling roughly or otherwise obviouslymalfunctioning. To prevent the catalytic converter from being damaged from unburned gas, do notrace the engine when stopping the engine. Stop driving the vehicle if you think the performance is noticeably low, or the engine has a malfunction such as with the ignition, etc. If you are not able to stopdriving immediately, slow down and drive for only a short time.
Have your vehicle
checked at an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon
as possible.
In unusual situations involving major engine problems, a burning odor may indicate severe a
nd abnormal catalytic
converter overheating. If this occurs, stopin a safe place, shut
the engine off and let
the vehicle cool. Once the engine is cool, immediately take your
vehicle to a dealer
or a repair facility of
your choice for ser-
vice.
WA R N I N G Set a garage jack only at the position shown here. If the gar
age jack is set a
wrong position, it could damage yourvehicle and/or your
vehicle might fall
from the jack causing injury or death. Do not use the jack on a tilted or soft sur- face. Otherwise, the jack might slip and causepersonal injury. Always
use the jack on a
flat, hard surface. Before setting the jack, make sure there are no sand or pebblesunder the jack base.
Catalytic converter
CAUTION Damage to the catalytic
converter can result
if your vehicle is not
kept in proper operating
condition. If the engine
malfunctions or mis-
fires, or if your vehi
cle performance suffers,
have it serviced
promptly. Running your
vehicle when it is ove
rheated may result in
damage to the conve
rter and vehicle.
WA R N I N GDo not park or run your vehicle in areas where combustible materials such as dry grass or leaves can come
in contact with a
hot exhaust, since a fire could occur. Do not put undercoat paint on the cata- lytic converter.

Tires
Vehicle care and maintenance 9-15

Too little pressure increases flexing in the tire and can cause tire failure. Too muchpressure can cause a tire to lose its ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and potholes could then ca
use tire damage that
may result in tire failure. Economy The wrong tire pressu
re can cause uneven
wear patterns in the tire tread. These abnormal wear patter
ns will reduce the
tread life, and the tire will have to be replaced sooner. Too little pressure also makes it harder forthe tire to roll, and this uses up more fuel. Ride comfort and vehicle stability The superior riding e
xperience built into
your vehicle partly de
pends on the correct
tire pressure. Too much pressure gives an uncomfortable and jarring ride. Too littlepressure feels as if
your vehicle is slow to
respond. Unequal tire pressure
s can make steering
your vehicle uneven
and unpredictable.
The tire pressure for your vehicle under nor- mal driving conditions is listed on the placard attached to the driver’s door sill.(Refer to “Tire and loading information plac- ard” on page 11-3.)
The recommended inflation pressures under normal driving conditions should be used forthe tires listed below. Tire pressures should be checked, and adjusted if necessary, at least once a month. Pressures should be checked more oftenwhenever weather temperatures change severely, becaus
e tire pressures change with
outdoor temperatures. The pressures listedare always “cold in
flation pressure”.
Cold inflation pressure is measured after the vehicle has been parked for at least threehours or is driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after having been parked for three hours. Cold inflation pressure must not go above themaximum values molded into the tire side- wall. After driving several miles, your tire inflation pressure may increase 2 to 6 psi (14to 41 kPa) from the cold inflation pressure. Do not let air out of the tires to get back to the
specified cold pressure, or your tires will be too low.Check your tires each t
ime you refuel. If one
tire looks lower than the others, check the pressure for all of them.You should also take the following safety pre- cautions: Keep your tires inflated to the recom- mended pressures. (See the tire and load-ing information placard attached to the driver’s door sill.) Stay within the recommended load limits. Make sure that the weight of any load in your vehicle is evenly distributed. Drive at safe speeds. After filling your tires to the correct pres- sure, check them for damage and airleaks. Be sure to reinstall the caps on the valve stems.
