NOTE●
Petrol-powered vehicles have
the knock control system so
that you can use unleaded pe
trol 91 RON as an emergent
measure in case unleaded petrol
95 RON or higher is not
available 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 per- formance level is reduced.
●
In petrol-powered vehicles,
repeatedly driving short dis-
tance at low speeds can cause deposits to form in the fuel system and engine, resulting in poor starting and pooracceleration. If these problems occur, you
are advised to add a deter-
gent additive to the gasoline
when you refuel the vehicle.
The additive will remove the deposits, thereby returning the engine to a normal condition. Be sure to use a genuine MITSUBISHI FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER. Using anunsuitable additive could make the engine malfunction. For details, please contact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
●
Poor quality petrol can cause
problems such as hard start-
ing, stalling, engine noise and hesitation. If your experi- ence these problems, try another brand and/or grade ofpetrol. If the check engine warning lamp flashes, have the system checked as soon as possible at a MITSUBISHI MOTORSAuthorized Service Point.
