Modifications To And Racing Of Your Vehicle - Mitsubishi 2016 Outlander Manual

4. Fueling correctly depends mainly on cor-
rect handling of the fuel filler nozzle. Do
not tilt the nozzle. Insert the nozzle in the
fuel tank filler port as far as it goes.
CAUTION
 Your vehicle can only be operated using
unleaded gasoline. Serious engine and cata-
lytic converter damage will result if leaded
gasoline is filled into these vehicles, and
consequently, this must never be attempted.
5. When the nozzle stops automatically, do
not add more fuel.
CAUTION
 To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not
"top-off" the fuel tank. Spilled fuel could
discolor, stain, or crack the vehicle's paint-
work. If fuel spills on the paintwork, wipe it
off with a soft cloth.
6. To re-install, turn the fuel tank filler pipe
cap slowly clockwise until you hear click-
ing sounds, then gently push the fuel tank
filler door closed.
WARNING
 Make sure the fuel tank filler cap is
securely closed. If the fuel cap were loose,
fuel could leak, resulting in a fire.
CAUTION
 If you need to replace the fuel tank filler cap,
use only the cap specified for your model
vehicle.
NOTE
 If the fuel tank filler cap is not tight while
driving, the engine malfunction indicator
("SERVICE ENGINE SOON" or "Check
engine light") may come on when the
onboard diagnostic (OBD) system performs
a self check.
Always tighten the fuel tank filler cap until
you hear at least 3 clicks.
The indicator will go off after several driving
cycles. If the indicator does not go off, con-
tact your authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair facility of your choice as
soon as possible.
