Your vehicle is designed to use unleaded gas-

oline only. It is equipped with a fuel filler

tube especially designed to accept only a

small diameter unleaded gasoline dispensing

nozzle.

In the United States, fuel suppliers are

required by law to add detergents to their gas-

oline to minimize fuel-injector fouling and

minimize intake-valve deposits. Detergent

gasoline helps keep your engine in tune and

your emission-control system working prop-

erly.

Your vehicle is designed to operate on pre-

mium grade unleaded gasoline having a mini-

mum octane number of 93 [(MON+RON)/2]

or higher for optimum performance. In case

premium grade unleaded gasoline 93

[(MON+RON)/2] is not available, unleaded

gasoline rating of 91 [(MON+RON)/2] can

be used. However, the performance level is

reduced.

In order to maintain exhaust system durabil-

ity, premium unleaded gasoline having an

octane number of at least 91

[(MON+RON)/2] must be used

If the premium grade unleaded gasoline rat-

ing of 91 [(MON+RON)/2] or higher is not

available on journey, etc., regular unleaded

gasoline having an octane number of 87

[(MON+RON)/2] can be used temporarily as

an emergency measure.

MON: Motor Octane Number

RON: Research Octane Number

Gasoline sold at some service stations con-

tains oxygenates such as ethanol, although

the oxygenates may not be identified by those

names. Oxygenates are required in some

areas of the country. Such fuel can be used in

your vehicle.

A mixture of up to 10 % ethanol (grain alco-

hol) and 90 % unleaded gasoline may be used

in your vehicle, provided the octane number

is at least as high as that recommended for

unleaded gasoline.

Do not operate your vehicle on gasoline con-

taining methanol (wood alcohol). Using this

type of alcohol could adversely affect the

vehicle’s performance and damage critical

parts of the vehicle’s fuel system.

Fuel selection

WARNING

 Gasoline is highly flammable and explo-

sive. You could be burned, seriously

injured or killed when handling it. When-

ever you refuel your vehicle, stop the

engine and keep flames, sparks, and

smoking materials away from the vehicle.

Always handle fuel in well-ventilated out-

door areas.

CAUTION

 Using leaded gasoline in your vehicle will

damage the engine, catalytic converter, and

the oxygen sensors. Also, using leaded gaso-

line is illegal, and will void your warranty

coverage of the engine, catalytic converter,

and oxygen sensors.

Many areas of the country require the use of

cleaner burning fuel referred to as “Reformu-

lated Gasoline”.

Reformulated gasoline contains oxygenates

and is specially blended to reduce vehicle

emissions and improve air quality.

Mitsubishi Motors Corporation strongly sup-

ports the use of reformulated gasoline. Prop-

erly blended reformulated gasoline has no

adverse effect on vehicle performance or the

durability of engine and fuel system.

MMT is a manganese-containing metallic

additive that is blended into some gasolines

to increase the octane number.

Mitsubishi Motors Corporation recommends

using gasolines without MMT.

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.

Reformulated gasoline

MMT (methylcyclopentadienyl

manganese tricarbonyl)

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.
