NOTE
●
Petrol-powered vehicles have a knock control system,
which allows you to use unleaded petrol 90 RON as an
emergency measure if unleaded petrol 95 RON or higher
is not available. In such cases, you don’t need to adjust the
engine.
If unleaded petrol 90 RON is used, the engine perform-
ance level will be reduced.
●
Repeatedly driving short distances 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 detergent addi-
tive to the gasoline when you refuel the vehicle. The addi-
tive 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 cause the engine to 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.
