General information 3-3

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 thedurability of the engine and the fuel system.MMT is a manganese-containing metallicadditive 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 themalfunction indicator on your instrumentpanel to come on. If this happens, contact anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair 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 otherthan California is allowed to have a highersulfur 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 Motorsdealer 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” light”) flashes, have
the vehicle inspected as
soon as possible by the nearest authorizedMitsubishi 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 detergentadditive to the gasoline when you refuel thevehicle. The additive
will remove the depos-
its, thereby returning the engine to a normalcondition. Be sure
to use a Mitsubishi
Motors Genuine cleani
ng additive. Using an
unsuitable additive could make an enginemalfunction. 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 thesafety regulations displayed by garagesand filling stations.Gasoline is highly flammable and explo-sive. You could be burned, seriouslyinjured or killed when handling it. Whenrefueling your vehicle,
always turn the
engine off and keep
away from flames,
sparks, and smoking materials. Alwayshandle fuel in well-ventilated outdoorareas.NOTE
