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.
