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.

any pressure or vac-
uum that might have built up in the fuel tank. If the cap is venting vapor or if youhear a hissing sound, wait until the sound stops before removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, in
juring you or others.

N00520501814
This indicator is a part
of the onboard diag-
nostic (OBD) system which monitors the emissions, engine control system or auto- matic transaxle cont
rol system/continuously
variable transmission
(CVT) control system.
If a problem is detected in one of these sys- tems, this indicator illuminates or flashes.When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, this indicator
normally comes on and
goes off after the engine has started.
This indicator will come on if the fuel tank filler cap is not properly tightened. If thisindicator comes on and stays on after refuel- ing, stop the engine and check that the cap is properly tightened. (Turn the cap clockwiseuntil you hear clicking sounds.) If this indicator does not go off after several seconds or lights up whil
e driving, have the
system checked as s
oon as possible at an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.

CAUTION When the warning light remains on or does not come on, there is the possibility that theparking brake cannot be operated orreleased. Immediately contact the nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. When the warning light comes on during driving,immediately stop the vehi
cle in a safe place,
and contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. If you inevitably have to park, parkthe vehicle on level and stable ground, shift the selector lever in
“P” (PARK) position
and place chocks
or blocks.
Engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”)
CAUTION Driving for a long time with the engine mal- function indicator on
may cause more dam-
age to the emission control system. This could also affect fuel economy and drivabil-ity. If this indicator does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi- tion or the operation mode
is put in ON, have
the system checked at
an authorized Mitsubi-
shi Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your
choice.
 If the engine malfunction indicator comes on while the engine is running, avoid driving athigh speeds.During vehicle
operation with the indicator
on, the vehicle may not
accelerate when you
depress the accelerator pedal.When the vehicle is stat
ionary with the indi-
cator on, you must depr
ess the brake pedal
more firmly than usual since the engineidling speed is higher th
an usual and a vehi-
cle with an automatic transaxle or CVT has a stronger tendency to creep forward.NOTE
 Do not disconnect the battery cable when the engine malfunction i
ndicator (“SERVICE
ENGINE SOON” or “Che
ck engine light”) is
on. The engine electronic control module storescritical OBD information (especially exhaust emission data), which may be lost if the bat- tery cable is disconnected while the enginemalfunction indicator is
on. This will make it
difficult to diagnose the cause of future prob- lems.
