General information

● In diesel-powered vehicles, 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 condition.
Be sure to use a genuine MITSUBISHI DIESEL FUEL
SYSTEM CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive could
make the engine malfunction. For details, please contact
your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

WARNING
!
●
When handling fuel, comply with the safety regula-
tions displayed by garages and filling stations.
●
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
vapor.
●
Perform the whole refuelling process (opening the
fuel tank filler door, removing 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, cleaning your wind-
screen) partway through the refueling process, you
could pick up a fresh charge of static electricity.
●
If the tank cap must be replaced, use only a MIT-
SUBISHI MOTORS original part.
