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

E10 type petrol
E00203200019
The petrol engines
are compatible with E10 type
petrol (containing 10 % ethanol) conforming to Eu-
ropean standards EN 228. CAUTION
l
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 ex-
haust system. Filling the fuel tank
E00200201767 WARNING
l When handling
fuel,
comply with the safe-
ty regulations displayed by garages and
filling stations.
l Before removing the fuel tank filler tube
cap, be sure to get rid of your body’s stat-
ic electricity by touching a metal part of
the car or fuel pump. Any static electrici-
ty on your body could create a spark that
ignites fuel vapour.
l Perform the whole refueling process
(opening the fuel tank filler door, remov-
ing the fuel tank filler tube cap, etc.) by
yourself. Do not let any other person
come near the fuel tank filler. If you al-
lowed a person to help you and that per-
son was carrying static electricity, fuel va-
pour could be ignited.
l Do not move away from the fuel tank fill-
er door until refueling is finished. If you
moved away and did something else (for
example, cleaning your windscreen) part-
way through the refueling process, you
could pick up a fresh charge of static elec-
tricity.
l If the fuel tank filler tube cap must be re-
placed, use only a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS original part.
Fuel tank capacity
3-door models: 69 litres
5-door models: 88 litres Refueling
1.Before filling with fuel, stop the engine.
2. The

fuel tank filler is located on the rear
right side of your vehicle.
Open the fuel tank filler door with the re-
lease lever located below the instrument panel.

3. Open the fuel tank filler tube by slowly turn-
ing the cap anticlockwise. A- Remove
B- Close CAUTION
l
Since the
fuel system may be under pres-
sure, remove the fuel tank filler tube cap
slowly. This relieves any pressure or vac-
uum that might have built up in the fuel
tank. If you hear a hissing sound, wait un-
til it stops before removing the cap. Oth-
erwise, fuel may spray out, injuring you
or others.
4. Insert the gun in the tank port as far as it goes. CAUTION
l
Do not tilt the gun.
5. When the gun stops automatically, do not fill with fuel any more. 6.
To close,
turn the fuel tank filler tube cap
slowly clockwise

until you hear clicking
sounds, then gently push the fuel tank filler
door closed. Installation of accessories
E00200300774
We recommend you
to consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l The installation of accessories, optional
parts, should only be carried out within the
limits prescribed by law in your country, and
in accordance with the guidelines fitting in-
structions and warnings contained within the
documents accompanying the parts or acces-
sories.
l Improper installation of electrical compo-
nents may cause an electrical fire if incorrect-
ly fitted. Please refer to the Modification/al-
teration to the electrical or fuel systems sec-
tion within this owner’s manual.
l Using a cellular phone or radio set inside the
vehicle without an external antenna may
cause electrical system interference, which
could lead to unsafe vehicle operation.
l Tyres and wheels which do not meet specifi-
cations must not be used.
Refer to the “Specifications” section for in-
formation regarding wheel and tyre sizes.
l When fitting accessories, ensure that maxi-
mum gross vehicle weight and maximum
axle weight are not exceeded.
Important points!
Due to large number of accessory and replacement
parts of different manufactures available in the mar-
ket, it is not possible, not only for MITSUBISHI
MOTORS, but also for a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point, to check whether the at-
tachment or installation of such parts affects the
overall safety of your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.

OBKE12E1

Even when such parts are officially authorized, for
example by a
“general operators permit” (an ap-
praisal for the part) or through the execution of the
part in an officially approved manner of construc-
tion, or when a single operation permit following
the attachment or installation of such parts, it can-
not be deduced from that alone, that the driving safe-
ty of your vehicle has not been affected.

Consider also that there basically exists no liability
on the part of the appraiser or the official. Only in
the case of parts (MITSUBISHI MOTORS original
replacement or exchange parts as well as
MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine accessories) that
are recommended and released by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point and that are at-
tached or installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point, you can assume, that op-
timal safety has been provided. The same also per-
tains to modifications of MITSUBISHI vehicles
with respect to the production specifications. For
your own safety, in such cases, you should only un-
dertake modifications according to the recommen-
dations of a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point. Modification/alterations to the
electrical or fuel systems E00200400254
MITSUBISHI MOTORS has always

safety and quality, it is important that any accesso-
ry that is to be fitted, or any modifications carried
out which involve the electrical or fuel systems,
should be carried out in accordance with
MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines. CAUTION
l
If the
wiring
interferes with any part of
the vehicle bodywork or improper instal-
lation methods are used, i.e. protective
fuses not installed, etc.), electronic devi-
ces may be adversely affected, possibly re-
sulting in an electrical fire or other fail-
ures that may cause an accident. Genuine parts

CAUTION
l
For petrol-powered
vehicles,
do not drive
with an extremely low fuel level; running
out of fuel could cause damage to the cat-
alytic converter.
l For diesel-powered vehicles, do not drive
with an extremely low fuel level; running
out of fuel could cause damage to the fuel
system.
NOTE l When
the vehicle

has been refuelled, the point-
er in the fuel gauge takes a short while to sta-
bilize. l
The fuel gauge will not give an accurate indi-
cation
if
the

vehicle is refuelled with the igni-
tion switch in the “ON” position.
l When the engine on diesel-powered vehicles
fails to operate due to running out of fuel, it
may sometimes be difficult to start after refu-
eling. This is due to air entering the fuel sys-
tem. Therefore, air must be bled from the sys-
tem. (Refer to “Bleeding the fuel system” on
page 6-06.)
