Fuel selection

Your vehicle is designed to use unleaded gasoline only. It is equipped with a fuel tank filler pipe specifically designed to accept only a small-diameter unleaded gasoline dispensing nozzle.

WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You could be burned, seriously injured or killed when handling it. Whenever you refuel your vehicle, stop the engine and keep flames, sparks, and smoking materials away from the vehicle. Always handle fuel in well-ventilated outdoor areas.

CAUTION
Using leaded gasoline in your vehicle will damage the engine, catalytic converter, and oxygen sensors. Also, using leaded gasoline is illegal, and will void your warranty coverage of the engine, catalytic converter, and oxygen sensors.

Gasoline detergent additives
In the United States, fuel suppliers are required by law to add detergents to their gasoline to minimize fuel-injector clogging and minimize intake-valve deposits. Detergent gasoline helps keep your engine in tune and your emission-control system working properly.

Octane requirement
Your vehicle is designed to operate on unleaded gasoline having a minimum octane number of 87 [(MON+RON)/2] or 91 RON.

NOTE
Premium fuel is recommended to improve the performance under severe conditions such as hot weather or towing.

Oxygenated gasoline
Gasoline sold at some service stations contains oxygenates such as ethanol, although the oxygenates may not be identified by those names. Oxygenates are required in some areas of the country. Oxygenated fuel can be used in your vehicle.

Ethanol (Gasohol)
A mixture of up to 10 % ethanol (grain alcohol) and 90 % unleaded gasoline may be used in your vehicle, provided the octane number is at least as high as that recommended for unleaded gasoline.

Methanol
Do not operate your vehicle on gasoline containing methanol (wood alcohol). Using this type of alcohol could adversely affect the vehicle’s performance and damage critical parts of the vehicle’s fuel system.

Reformulated gasoline
Many areas of the country require the use of cleaner burning fuel referred to as “Reformulated Gasoline”. Reformulated gasoline contains oxygenates and is specially blended to reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation strongly supports the use of reformulated gasoline. Properly blended reformulated gasoline has no adverse effect on vehicle performance or the durability of the engine and the fuel system.

MMT (methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl)
MMT is a manganese-containing metallic 3 additive that is blended into some gasoline to increase the octane number. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation recommends using gasoline without MMT. The use of gasoline blended with MMT may adversely affect performance and cause the malfunction indicator on your instrument panel to come on. If this happens, contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice for assistance.

Sulfur in gasoline
Your vehicle may have been designed to satisfy California’s low-emission regulations based on clean-burning low-sulfur gasoline. Gasoline sold in parts of the country other than California is allowed to have a higher sulfur content. Using such gasoline could adversely affect the vehicle’s catalytic converter and cause the engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”) to come on. Illumination of this indicator while using high-sulfur gasoline does not necessarily mean the vehicle’s emission control system is malfunctioning. Your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer may suggest using a different, lower-sulfur brand of unleaded gasoline to determine if the problem is fuel-related.

NOTE

• Poor-quality gasoline can cause problems such as hard starting, stalling during idling, abnormal engine noise, and poor acceleration. If you experience any of these problems, try using a different brand of gasoline. If the engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”) flashes, have the vehicle inspected as soon as possible by the nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
• Repeatedly driving short distances at low speeds can cause deposits to form in the fuel system and engine, resulting in hard starting and poor acceleration. If these problems occur, you are advised to add a detergent 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 Mitsubishi Motors Genuine cleaning additive. Using an unsuitable additive could make an engine malfunction. For details, please contact the nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

Filling the fuel tank

WARNING

• When handling fuel, comply with the safety regulations displayed by garages and filling stations.
• Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You could be burned, seriously injured or killed when handling it. When refuelling your vehicle, always turn the engine off and keep away from flames, sparks, and smoking materials. Always handle fuel in well-ventilated outdoor areas.
• Before removing the fuel tank filler 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.
• Perform the whole refuelling process (opening the fuel tank filler door, removing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself; do not let any other person 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 move away from the fuel tank filler until refuelling is finished. If you moved away and did something else (for example, sitting on a seat) part-way through the refuelling process, you could pick up a fresh charge of static electricity.
• Be careful not to inhale fuel vapour. Fuel contains toxic substances.
• Keep the doors and windows closed while refuelling the vehicle. If they were open, fuel vapour could get into the cabin.

Fuel tank capacity

• All-wheel drive vehicles: 15.8 gal (60 L)
• Front-wheel drive vehicles: 16.6 gal (63 L)

Refuelling

1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine.
2. The fuel tank filler is located on the rear driver’s side of your vehicle. The fuel tank filler door can be opened from inside the vehicle with the fuel tank filler door release lever located at the left side of the driver’s seat.
   
3. Open the fuel tank filler pipe by slowly turning the fuel tank filler cap counterclockwise.
   
   1. Remove
   2. Close
      • WARNING
        Since the fuel system may be under pressure, remove the fuel tank filler cap slowly. This relieves any pressure or vacuum that might have built up in the fuel tank. If the cap is venting vapour or if you hear a hissing sound, wait until the sound stops before removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, injuring you or others.
      • NOTE
        While filling with fuel, store the fuel cap in the cap holder (A) or hang it on the hook (B) located on the inside of the fuel tank filler door.
        
4. Fueling correctly depends mainly on the correct handling of the fuel filler nozzle. Do not tilt the nozzle. Insert the nozzle in the fuel tank filler port as far as it goes.
   • CAUTION
     Your vehicle can only be operated using unleaded gasoline. Serious engine and catalytic converter damage will result if leaded gasoline is filled into these vehicles, and consequently, this must never be attempted.
5. When the nozzle stops automatically, do not add more fuel.
   • CAUTION
     To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top off” the fuel tank. Spilt fuel could discolour, stain, or crack the vehicle’s paintwork. If fuel spills on the paintwork, wipe it off with a soft cloth.
6. To re-install, turn the fuel tank filler pipe cap slowly clockwise until you hear clicking sounds, then gently push the fuel tank filler door closed.
   • WARNING
     Make sure the fuel tank filler 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 a 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 at least 3 clicks. The indicator will go off after several driving cycles. If the indicator does not go off, contact your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon as possible.

Telematics Control Unit (TCU) (if so equipped)
