Filling the fuel tank

General information 3-3

Use of gasolines blended with MMT may

adversely affect performance, and cause the

malfunction indicator on your instrument

panel to come on. If this happens, contact an

authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a

repair facility of your choice for assistance.

Your vehicle may have been designed to sat-

isfy California’s low-emission regulations

based on clean-burning low-sulfur gasoline.

Gasoline sold in parts of the country other

than California is allowed to have a higher

sulfur content. Using such gasoline could

adversely affect the vehicle’s catalytic con-

verter and cause the engine malfunction indi-

cator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or

“Check engine light”) to come on. Illumina-

tion of this indicator while you are using

high-sulfur gasoline does not necessarily

mean the vehicle’s emission-control system is

malfunctioning. Your authorized Mitsubishi

Motors dealer may suggest you try using a

different, lower-sulfur brand of unleaded gas-

oline to determine whether the problem is

fuel-related.

Sulfur in gasoline

NOTE

 Poor-quality gasoline can cause problems

such as poor starting, stalling during idling,

abnormal engine noise, and poor accelera-

tion. If you experience any of these prob-

lems, try using a different brand of gasoline.

If the engine malfunction indicator (“SER-

VICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine

light”) flashes, have the vehicle inspected as

soon as possible by the nearest authorized

Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility

of your choice.

 Repeatedly driving short distances at low

speeds can cause deposits to form in the fuel

system and engine, resulting in poor starting

and poor acceleration. If these problems

occur, you are advised to add a detergent

additive to the gasoline when you refuel the

vehicle. The additive will remove the depos-

its, thereby returning the engine to a normal

condition. Be sure to use a Mitsubishi

Motors Genuine cleaning additive. Using an

unsuitable additive could make the engine

malfunction. For details, please contact the

nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

Filling the fuel tank

WARNING

 Gasoline is highly flammable and explo-

sive. You could be burned, seriously

injured or killed when handling it. When

refueling your vehicle, always turn the

engine off and keep away from flames,

sparks, and smoking materials. Always

handle fuel in well-ventilated outdoor

areas.

 Before removing the fuel tank filler cap,

be sure to get rid of your body’s static

electricity by touching a metal part of the

car or fuel pump. Any static electricity on

your body could create a spark that

ignites fuel vapor.

 Perform the whole refueling process

(opening the fuel tank filler door, remov-

ing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself; do not

let any other person near the fuel tank

filler. If you allowed a person to help you

and that person was carrying static elec-

tricity, fuel vapor could be ignited.

 Do not move away from the fuel tank filler

until refueling is finished. If you moved

away and did something else (for example,

sitting on a seat) part-way through the

refueling process, you could pick up a

fresh charge of static electricity.

 Be careful not to inhale fuel vapor. Fuel

contains toxic substances.
