Filling The Fuel Tank - Mitsubishi ECLIPSE CROSS 2017 Owner's Manual

Filling the fuel tank

WARNING
l
When handling fuel, comply with the safe-
ty regulations displayed by garages and
filling stations.
l Gasoline is highly flammable and explo-
sive. You could be burned or seriously in-
jured 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.
l
Before removing the fuel cap, be sure to
get rid of your body's static electricity by
touching a metal part of the vehicle or
fuel pump. Any static electricity on your
body could create a spark that ignites fuel
vapour.
l 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 come near the fuel
tank filler. If you allowed a person to help
you and that person was carrying static
electricity, fuel vapour could be ignited.
l Do not move away from the fuel tank fill-
er until refueling is finished. If you moved
away and did something else (for exam-
ple, sitting on a seat) part-way through
the refueling process, you could pick up a
fresh charge of static electricity.
WARNING
l
If the tank cap must be replaced, use only
E00200204494
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine part.

Filling the fuel tank
1- Remove

CAUTION
Since the fuel system may be under pressure,
remove the fuel tank filler tube cap slowly.
This relieves any pressure or vacuum that
might have built up in the fuel tank. If you
hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops be-
fore removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may
spray out, injuring you or others.
