Service Point.
E10 type petrol
The petrol engine are compatible with E10
type petrol (containing 10 % ethanol) con- forming to European standards EN 228.
CAUTIONl Do not use more than 10 % concentration of
ethanol (grain alcohol) by volume.
Use of more than 10 % concentration may
lead to damage to your vehicle fuel system,
engine, engine sensors and exhaust system.Filling the fuel tank
E00200203804WARNINGlWhen handling fuel, comply with the safe-
ty regulations displayed by garages and
filling stations.
l Gasoline is highly flammable and explo-
sive. You could be burned or seriously in-
jured when handling it. When refueling
your vehicle, always put the operation mode of the power switch in OFF and
keep away from flames, sparks, and smoking materials. Always handle fuel in
well-ventilated outdoor areas.
l 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 the fuel pump. Any static electricity on your
body could create a spark that ignites fuel vapour.WARNINGl 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 static
electricity, fuel vapour could be ignited.
l Do not perform charging and refueling at
the same time. If you charged with staticelectricity, fuel vapour could be ignited by the discharge spark.
l Do not move away from the fuel tank fill-
er until refueling is finished. If you moved away and did something else (for exam-
ple, sitting on a seat) part-way through the refueling process, you could pick up afresh charge of static electricity.
l Be careful not to inhale fuel vapour. Fuel
contains toxic substances.
l Keep the doors and windows closed while
refueling the vehicle. If they were open,fuel vapour could get into the cabin.
l If the tank cap must be replaced, use only
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine part.CAUTIONl Depending on the operating conditions of
your vehicle, the fuel in the fuel tank may
not be used for a long time and stay in the tank, resulting in deterioration of the fuel
quality. As this may affect the engine and

turning the cap anticlockwise.
1- Remove
2- Close
CAUTIONl Since the fuel system may be under pressure,
remove the fuel tank filler tube cap slowly. This relieves any pressure or vacuum that
might have built up in the fuel tank. If you
hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops be- fore removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may
spray out, injuring you or others.NOTEl While filling with fuel, hang the fuel cap on
the hook (A) located on the inside of the fuel
tank filler door.
4. Insert the gun in the tank port as far as it
goes.

Important points!
Due to large number of accessory and re- placement parts of different manufactures
available in the market, it is not possible, not only for MITSUBISHI MOTORS , but also
for a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point, to check whether the attach- ment or installation of such parts affects theoverall safety of your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.
Even when such parts are officially author-
ized, for example by a “general operators permit” (an appraisal for the part) or throughthe execution of the part in an officially ap-
proved manner of construction, or when a single operation permit following the attach-
ment or installation of such parts, it cannot be deduced from that alone, that the driving
safety of your vehicle has not been affected.

Consider also that there basically exists no li-
ability on the part of the appraiser or the offi- cial. Maximum safety can only be ensured
with parts recommended, sold and fitted or
installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS au-
thorized Service Point ( MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE replacement parts and
