Cetane number (EN590)
51 or higher
CAUTION
Your vehicle is designed to use only diesel
fuel that meets the EN 590 standard.
Use of any other type of diesel fuel would
adversely affect the engine’s performance
and durability.
If you continuously use fuel that contains
more than 7 % bio-diesel, the impurities in
the bio-diesel could precipitate.
If this occurs, the properties of the fuel in the
fuel tank will change, which could adversely
affect the engine, fuel filter, and other com-
ponents, leading to engine problems.
If the engine is not operating properly,
switch to fuel that contains 7 % or less bio-
diesel as soon as possible and have the vehi-
cle checked at an authorised MITSUBISHI
MOTORS dealer.
NOTE
Poor-quality diesel fuel can cause deposits
form in the injector, resulting in black smoke
and rough idling.
If these problems occur, you are advised to
add a cleaning additive to the diesel fuel
when you refuel the vehicle. The additive
will break up and remove the deposits,
thereby returning the engine to a normal con-
dition. Be sure to use a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE DIESEL FUEL SYS-
TEM CLEANER. Using an unsuitable addi-
tive could make the engine malfunction. For
detailed, please contact the nearest author-
ised MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.
Filling the fuel tank
WARNING
When handling fuel, comply with the
safety regulations displayed by garages
and filling stations.
Fuel is highly flammable and explosive.
You could be burned or seriously injured
when handling it. When refueling your
vehicle, always turn the engine off and
keep away from flames, sparks, and smok-
ing materials. Always handle fuel in well-
ventilated outdoor areas.
Before removing the fuel 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
vapor.
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 vapor could be ignited.
Do not move away from the fuel tank filler
until refueling is finished. If you moved
away and did something else (for example,
sitting on a seat) part-way through the
refueling process, you could pick up a
fresh charge of static electricity.
Be careful not to inhale fuel vapor. Fuel
contains toxic substances.
Keep the doors and windows closed while
refueling the vehicle. If they were open,
fuel vapor could get into the cabin.
If the fuel cap must be replaced, use only a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine part.
