WARNING
l
When handling fuel, comply with the safe-
ty regulations displayed by garages and
filling stations.
WARNING
l 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.
l Before removing the fuel cap, be sure to
get rid of your body’s static electricity by
touching a metal part of the car or fuel
pump. Any static electricity on your body
could create a spark that ignites fuel va-
pour.
l 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.
l 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.
l 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.
l Be careful not to inhale fuel vapour. Fuel
contains toxic substances.
WARNING
l Keep the doors and windows closed while
refueling the vehicle. If they were open,
fuel vapour could get into the cabin.
l If the tank cap must be replaced, use only
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine part.
CAUTION
l The fuel in the fuel tank may not be con-
sumed and it may stagnate for a long time
depending on the use situation of the vehi-
cle, the quality of fuel may change, and it
may have a bad influence on the engine or
the parts of a fuel system.
