Filling the fuel tank

The petrol engine is compatible with E5 type

petrol (containing 5 % ethanol) and E10 type

petrol (containing 10 % ethanol) conforming

to European standards EN 228.

NOTE

WARNING

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.

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.

Do not perform charging and refueling at

the same time. If you charged with static

electricity, fuel vapour could be ignited by

the discharge spark.

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.

CAUTION

Do not use more than 10 % concentration of

ethanol (grain alcohol) by volume.

Use of more than 10 % concentration may

lead to damage to your vehicle fuel system,

engine, engine sensors and exhaust system.

WARNING

When handling fuel, comply with the safe-

ty regulations displayed by garages and

filling stations.

Be careful not to inhale fuel vapour. Fuel

contains toxic substances.

Keep the doors and windows closed while

refueling the vehicle. If they were open,

fuel vapour could get into the cabin.

Gasoline is highly flammable and explo-

sive. You could be burned or seriously in-

jured when handling it. When refueling

your vehicle, always put the operation

mode of the power switch in OFF and

keep away from flames, sparks, and

smoking materials. Always handle fuel in

well-ventilated outdoor areas.

If the tank cap must be replaced, use only

wise.

WARNING

NOTE

If a problem occurs related to the system

for releasing the internal pressure of the

fuel tank, a warning is displayed on the

information screen in the multi informa-

tion display and the fuel tank filler door

cannot be opened.

While filling with fuel, hang the fuel cap on

the hook (A) located on the inside surface of

the fuel tank filler door.

Filling the fuel tank

If the fuel tank filler door can-

not be opened

To open the fuel tank filler door, the manual

fuel tank filler door release lever inside of the

interior trim cover (A) can be used.

CAUTION

Your vehicle can only be operated using un-

leaded petrol. Serious engine and catalytic

converter damage will result if leaded petrol

is filled into these vehicles, and consequent-

ly, this must never be attempted.

WARNING

Make sure the fuel tank filler cap is se-

curely closed. If the fuel cap were loose,

fuel could leak, resulting in a fire.

NOTE

If you drive with the fuel tank filler door left

open, a warning display appears on the in-

formation screen in the multi information

display.

6. When the gun stops automatically, do

not fill with fuel any more.

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 opener switch.

WARNING

Never use the manual fuel tank filler door

release lever unless the fuel door cannot

be opened by operating the fuel tank filler

door opener switch.

If the fuel filler lid is opened using the

manual fuel tank filler door release lever,

the internal pressure of the fuel tank will

not automatically be released. To avoid

fuel overflowing from the fuel filler, re-

move the fuel tank filler cap slowly to

gradually release the internal pressure of

the fuel tank and refuel with a lower flow

rate.

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.

To prevent the fuel from overflowing, press

the fuel tank filler door opener switch again

to reactivate the refueling system.

7. To close, turn the fuel cap slowly clock-

wise until you hear clicking sounds, then

gently push the fuel tank filler door

closed.
