NOTE
●
Your vehicle has the knock control system so that you can
use unleaded petrol 90 RON as an emergent measure in
case unleaded petrol 95 RON or higher is not available on
journey, etc. In such a case, you don’t need to adjust the
engine specially.
In case of using unleaded petrol 90 RON, the engine per-
formance level is reduced.
●
Repeatedly driving short distance 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 additive to the
gasoline when you refuel the vehicle. The additive will
remove the deposits, thereby returning the engine to a nor-
mal condition. Be sure to use a genuine MITSUBISHI
FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER. Using an unsuitable addi-
tive could make the engine 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 you 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.
●
For Clear Tec FFV models, fuel that contains a mixture of
unleaded petrol 95 RON or higher, that meets the EN 228
fuel standard, and Bio ethanol E 85 can be used.
●
For Clear Tec FFV models, the appropriate fuel is indi-
cated on a label on the inside of the fuel tank filler door.

WARNING
!
●
For Clear Tec FFV models, do not modify the fuel
system or any of its components. Flexible fuel vehi-
cles have fuel system components that were designed
specifically for use with Bio ethanol. When replacing
any of the fuel system components, be sure to
replace them with components designed for use with
Bio ethanol. Otherwise, engine damage, a vehicle
fire, or personal injury could result.
●
For Clear Tec FFV models, do not use methanol
instead of Bio ethanol E 85. Otherwise, engine dam-
age, a vehicle fire, or personal injury could result.
CAUTION
!
●
The use of leaded fuel can result in serious damage
to the engine and catalytic converter. Do not use the
leaded fuel.
