Recom- Unleaded petrol octane number
mended (EN228)
fuel 95 RON or higher
CAUTION
l The use of leaded fuel can result in serious
damage to the engine and catalytic convert-
er. Do not use leaded fuel.
NOTE
l The vehicles have the knock control system
so that you can use unleaded petrol 90 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 90 RON, the engine performance lev-
el is reduced.
2-02 General information
NOTE
l
Repeatedly driving short distances at low
E00200105012
speeds can cause deposits to form in the fuel
system and engine, resulting in poor starting
and poor acceleration. If these problems oc-
cur, you are advised to add a detergent addi-
tive to the petrol when you refuel the vehi-
cle. The additive will remove the deposits,
thereby returning the engine to a normal
condition. Be sure to use a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE FUEL SYSTEM
CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive
could make the engine malfunction. For de-
tails, please contact your MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l Poor quality petrol can cause problems such
as difficult starting, stalling, engine noise
and hesitation. If you experience these prob-
lems, try another brand and/or grade of pet-
rol.
If the check engine warning lamp flashes,
have the system checked as soon as possible
at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
