MMT is a manganese-containing metallic
additive that is blended into some gasolines
to increase the octane number. Mitsubishi
Motors Corporation recommends using gaso-
lines without MMT.
Use of gasolines blended with MMT may
adversely affect performance, and cause the
malfunction indicator on your instrument
panel to come on. If this happens, contact an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice for assistance.
Your vehicle may have been designed to sat-
isfy California’s low-emission regulations
based on clean-burning low-sulfur gasoline.
Gasoline sold in parts of the country other
than California is allowed to have a higher
sulfur content. Using such gasoline could
adversely affect the vehicle’s catalytic con-
verter and cause the engine malfunction indi-
cator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or
“Check engine light”) to come on. Illumina-
tion of this indicator while using high-sulfur
gasoline does not necessarily mean the vehi-
cle’s emission-control system is malfunction-
ing. Your authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer may suggest using a different, lower-
sulfur brand of unleaded gasoline to deter-
mine if the problem is fuel-related.

MMT (methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl)
Sulfur in gasoline
NOTE
Poor-quality gasoline can cause problems
such as hard starting, stalling during idling,
abnormal engine noise, and poor accelera-
tion. If you experience any of these prob-
lems, try using a different brand of gasoline.
If the engine malfunction indicator (“SER-
VICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine
light”) flashes, have the vehicle inspected as
soon as possible by the nearest authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility
of your choice.
Repeatedly driving short distances at low
speeds can cause deposits to form in the fuel
system and engine, resulting in hard 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 depos-
its, thereby returning the engine to a normal
condition. Be sure to use a Mitsubishi
Motors Genuine cleaning additive. Using an
unsuitable additive could make an engine
malfunction. For details, please contact the
nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
Filling the fuel tank
WARNING
When handling fuel, comply with the
safety regulations displayed by garages
and filling stations.
Gasoline is highly flammable and explo-
sive. You could be burned, seriously
injured or killed when handling it. When
refueling your vehicle, always turn the
engine off and keep away from flames,
sparks, and smoking materials. Always
handle fuel in well-ventilated outdoor
areas.
Before removing the fuel tank filler 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 near the fuel tank
filler. If you allowed a person to help you
and that person was carrying static elec-
tricity, 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.
