General information
4. To fill with fuel correctly depends mainly on correct han-
dling of the fuel filler nozzle. Do not tilt the nozzle. Insert
the nozzle in the tank port as far as it will go.
CAUTION
!
Your vehicle can only be operated using unleaded
1
gasoline. Serious engine and catalytic converter
damage will result if leaded gasoline is used.
5. When the nozzle stops automatically, do not try to 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 paintwork. If fuel spills on the
paintwork, wipe it off with a soft cloth.
6. To close, turn the fuel tank filler cap slowly clockwise
until you hear clicking sounds, then gently push the fuel
tank filler door closed.
WARNING
!
Make sure the fuel cap is securely closed. If the fuel
cap is 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 click-
ing sounds.
The indicator will go off after driving several times. If the
indicator does not go off, contact your authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice as soon as possible.
