fuel
Petrol-powered vehicles
Unleaded petrol octane
num-
ber (EN228) 90 RON or higher (3000
models)
95 RON or higher (3800
models)
Diesel-powered vehicles
Vehicles to comply with the Euro 4
and Euro 5 regulation Cetane number (EN590)51 or higher
Vehicles to comply with the Euro 3
regulation Cetane number45 or higher CAUTION
l
For petrol-powered vehicles,
the use of lea-
ded fuel can result in serious damage to
the engine and catalytic converter. Do not
use leaded fuel.
l Diesel-powered vehicles to comply with
the Euro 4 and Euro 5 regulation are de-
signed to use only diesel fuel that meets
the EN 590 standard.
Use of any other type of diesel fuel would
adversely affect the engine’s performance
and durability. CAUTION
l
For diesel-powered vehicles,
if proper
“winter” fuel is not used in winter, the die-
sel preheat indication lamp may blink
and the engine speed may not rise above
the idling speed because of fuel freezing.
In this case, keep the engine idling for
about ten minutes, then turn off the igni-
tion switch and immediately turn it on
again to confirm that the diesel preheat in-
dication lamp is off. (Refer to “Diesel pre-
heat indication lamp” on page 3-08)
NOTE l It is advisable to sufficiently warm up the en-
gine
after starting

it when the outside temper-
ature is below zero °C.
l Due to the separation of paraffin, the fluidity
of the fuel decreases considerably as the tem-
perature falls. Because of this fact there are
two kinds of fuel: “summer” and “winter”.
This must be considered in winter use.
Select either of the two kinds of fuel in ac-
cordance with ambient temperature.
Above -5 °C: “Summer” diesel
Below -5 °C: “Winter” diesel
When travelling abroad, find out in advance
about the fuels served in local service stations.
l Petrol-powered vehicles have the knock con-
trol system so that you can use unleaded pet-
rol 91 RON as an emergent measure in case
unleaded petrol 95 RON or higher is not avail-
able on journey, etc. In such a case, you
don’t need to adjust the engine specially.
In case of using unleaded petrol 91 RON, the
engine performance level is reduced. l
In petrol-powered
vehicles,
repeatedly driv-
ing short distances at low speeds can cause
deposits to form in the fuel system and en-
gine, resulting in poor starting and poor accel-
eration.
If these problems occur, you are advised to
add a detergent additive to the gasoline when
you refuel the vehicle. The additive will re-
move the deposits, thereby returning the en-
gine to a normal condition. Be sure to use a
genuine MITSUBISHI FUEL SYSTEM
CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive
could make the engine malfunction.
For details, please contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l Poor quality petrol can cause problems such
as difficult starting, stalling, engine noise
and hesitation. If you experience these prob-
lems, try another brand and/or grade of petrol.
If the check engine warning lamp flashes,
have the system checked as soon as possible
at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
l In diesel-powered vehicles, poor-quality die-
sel fuel can cause deposits form in the injec-
tor, resulting in black smoke and rough idling.
If these problems occur, you are advised to
add a cleaning additive to the diesel fuel
when you refuel the vehicle. The additive
will break up and remove the deposits, there-
by returning the engine to a normal condition.
Be sure to use a genuine MITSUBISHI DIE-
SEL FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER. Using an
unsuitable additive could make the engine
malfunction. For details, please contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point. General information

The security alarm has four modes:
System preparation mode (approx. 20 seconds)
(The buzzer
sounds
intermittently, and the security
alarm indicator (A) blinks) The system preparation time extends from the
point at
which

all of the doors (including the back-
door) are locked by the keyless entry switch to the
point at which the system activation mode goes in-
to effect.
During this time, it is possible to temporarily open
a door without using the keyless entry system and
without causing the alarm to sound (for example,
when you forget something inside the vehicle or re-
alize that a window is open).
System armed mode
(The buzzer stops, and the security alarm indicator
continues to blink slowly)
Once the system preparation mode has ended, the
system armed mode starts. If an unlawful opening
of any of the doors (including the backdoor) or the
bonnet is detected during the system armed mode,
the alarm will be activated to warn people around
the vehicle of an abnormal condition. Also, if unlawful moving of the vehicle is attemp-
ted or
a

vehicle intrusion is detected, the alarm will
be activated.

Timer function E00302400712
The door windows can be opened or closed for 30
seconds after the

ignition switch is turned from the
“ON” position to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position.
If the driver’s door is opened during this period,
the door window can be opened or closed for anoth-
er 30 seconds.
However, once the driver’s door is closed, the win-
dows cannot be operated.
Safety mechanism E00302500218
If a hand or head is trapped in the closing window,
it will lower automatically.
Nonetheless, make sure

that nobody puts their head
or hand out of the window when closing a window.
The lowered window will become operational after
a few seconds. WARNING
l If the
safety
mechanism is activated three
or more times successively, the safety
mechanism will be temporarily cancelled.
If a hand or head got trapped, a serious
injury could result. CAUTION
l
The safety mechanism
is cancelled just be-
fore the window is fully closed. This al-
lows the window to close completely.
Therefore be especially careful that no fin-
gers are trapped in the window.
NOTE l The
safety mechanism

can be activated if the
driving conditions or other circumstances
cause the door windows to be subjected to a
physical shock similar to that caused by a trap-
ped hand or head.
l If the safety mechanism is activated three or
more times in a row, the safety mechanism
will be cancelled and the door window will
not close correctly.
In such a case, the following procedure
should be implemented to rectify this situa-
tion. If the window is open, repeatedly raise
the appropriate window switch until that win-
dow has been fully closed. Following this, re-
lease the switch, raise the switch once again
and hold it in this condition for at least 1 sec-
ond, then release it. You should now be able
to operate all windows in the normal fashion. Locking and unlocking
