If The Fuel Tank Filler Door Cannot Be Opened - Mitsubishi MOTORS Outlander PHEV 2018 Owner's Manual

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.
6. 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.
 Refueling should be completed within 30
minutes after pressing the fuel tank filler
door switch.
After 30 minutes, the refueling system for
releasing the internal pressure of the fuel
tank will be disabled.
Close the fuel cap and fuel tank filler door
once.
To prevent the fuel from overflowing, press
the fuel tank filler door switch again to reac-
tivate the refueling system.
7. 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 three clicks.
The indicator will go off after several driving
cycles. If the indicator does not go off, con-
tact a certified Mitsubishi EV dealer as soon
as possible.
Filling the fuel tank

 If you drive with the fuel tank filler door left

display.
If the fuel tank filler door can-
not be opened
