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. Unleaded gasoline having a minimum octane number of 87 [(MON+RON)/2] or 91 RON may be used, though it is recommended yourvehicle be operated on premium grade unleaded gasoline having a minimum octane number of 91 [(MON+RON)/2], or 95 RON. To obtain maximum performance, premium gasoline is recommended. 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 someareas 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 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 thistype of alcohol could adversely affect the vehicle’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.
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

Mitsubishi Motors Corporation strongly sup- ports the use of reform
ulated gasoline. Prop-
erly blended reformul
ated gasoline has no
adverse effect on vehicle performance or the durability of the engine and the fuel system. MMT is a manganese-containing metallic additive that is blende
d into some gasolines
to increase the octa
ne number. Mitsubishi
Motors Corporation recommends using gaso- lines without MMT. Use of gasolines blended with MMT mayadversely affect performance, and cause the malfunction indicator on your instrument panel to come on. If this happens, contact anauthorized 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 regulations based on clean-burning low-sulfur gasoline.Gasoline sold in parts of the country other than California is allowed to have a higher sulfur content. Using such gasoline couldadversely affect the ve
hicle’s catalytic con-
verter and cause the e
ngine malfunction indi-
cator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”)
to come on. Illumina-
tion of this indicator
while using high-sulfur
gasoline does not necessa
rily mean the vehi-
cle’s emission-control
system is malfunction-
ing. Your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer may suggest using a different, lower- sulfur brand of unleaded gasoline to deter-mine if the problem is fuel-related.
N00301101994
MMT (methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl) Sulfur in gasoline
NOTE
 Poor-quality gasoline
can cause problems
such as hard starting, stalling during idling,abnormal engine noise
, and poor accelera-
tion. If you experience any of these prob- lems, try using a differ
ent brand of gasoline.
If the engine malfunc
tion indicator (“SER-
VICE ENGINE SOON”
or “Check engine
light”) flashes, have
the vehicle inspected as
soon as possible by the nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility
of your choice.
 Repeatedly driving s
hort distances at low
speeds can cause deposits to form in the fuelsystem and engine, resu
lting in hard starting
and poor acceleration.
If these problems
occur, you are advised to add a detergent additive to the gasoline when you refuel thevehicle. The additive
will remove the depos-
its, thereby returning the engine to a normal condition. Be sure
to use a Mitsubishi
Motors Genuine cleani
ng additive. Using an
unsuitable additive could make an engine malfunction. For details,
please contact the
nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
Filling the fuel tank
WA R N I N G When handling fuel, comply with the safety regulations displayed by garagesand filling stations. Gasoline is highly flammable and explo- sive. 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.NOTE

1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine. 2. The fuel tank filler is located on the rear driver side of your vehicle. The fuel tank filler door can be openedfrom inside the vehicle with the fuel tank filler door release lever located at the left side of the driver’s seat.
3. Open the fuel tank filler pipe by slowly turning the fuel tank filler cap counter-clockwise.
 Before removing the fuel tank filler cap, be sure to get rid of your body’s staticelectricity by touching a metal part of thecar 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, remov-ing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself; do not let any other
person near the fuel tank
filler. If you allowed
a person to help you
and that person was ca
rrying static elec-
tricity, fuel vapor could be ignited. Do not move away from
the fuel tank filler
until refueling is fi
nished. If you moved
away and did somethin
g else (for example,
sitting on a seat) part-way through the refueling process, you could pick up a fresh charge of st
atic electricity.
Be careful not to inhale fuel vapor. Fuel contains toxic substances. Keep the doors and wi
ndows closed while
refueling the vehicle. If they were open,fuel vapor could ge
t into the cabin.

Spilled fuel could
discolor, stain, or crack the vehicle’s paint-work. If fuel spills on the paintwork, wipe it off with a soft cloth.WA R N I N G Make sure the fuel tank filler cap is securely closed. If the fuel cap were loose, fuel could leak, re
sulting in a fire.
CAUTIONIf you need to replace th
e fuel tank filler cap,
use only the cap specified for your modelvehicle.
NOTE
 If the fuel tank filler
cap is not tight while
driving, the engine malfunction indicator(“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or “Checkengine light”) may come on when the onboard diagnostic (OBD) system performs a self check.Always tighten the fuel
tank filler cap until
you hear at least 3 clicks. The indicator will go of
f after several driving
cycles. If the indicato
r does not go off, con-
tact your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair fac
ility of your choice as

This vehicle is equipped with an event datarecorder (EDR).The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an airbag deployment or hitting aroad obstacle, data that
will assist in under-
standing how a vehicle’
s systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for ashort period of time,
typically 30 seconds or
less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:  How various systems
in your vehicle were
operating;  Whether or not the driver and front pas- senger safety belts we
re buckled/fastened;
 How far (if at all) the driver was depress- ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal;and,  How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under- standing of the circumstances in whichcrashes and injuries occur.
Modification/alterations to the electrical or fuel systems

oderate speeds during
the break-in period.  Avoid revving the engine.  Avoid rough driving such as sudden starts, sudden accelerati
on, prolonged high-
speed driving and sudden braking. These actions would have a detrimental effect onthe engine and lead to increased fuel and oil consumption; th
is could ultimately
result in the malfunction of engine com-ponents. Be particularly careful to avoid full 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 “T
