NOTE
● Petrol-powered vehicles have the knock control system so
E00200101362
that you can use unleaded petrol 91 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 91 RON, the engine per-
formance level is reduced.
● In petrol-powered vehicles, repeatedly driving short dis-
tance 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 deter-
gent additive to the gasoline when you refuel the vehicle.
The additive will remove the deposits, thereby returning
the engine to a normal condition. Be sure to use a genuine
MITSUBISHI FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER. Using an
unsuitable additive could make the engine malfunction.
For details, please contact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
● Poor quality petrol can cause problems such as hard start-
ing, stalling, engine noise and hesitation. If your experi-
ence these problems, try another brand and/or grade of
petrol.
If the check engine warning lamp flashes, have the system
checked as soon as possible at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
