Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Park the Mirage safely, select P and switch the engine off.
- 02
Look on the floor near the driver's seat for the fuel-door release lever.
- 03
Pull the lever to unlatch the exterior fuel door.
- 04
Exit the vehicle, open the released door and remove the fuel cap for refueling.
- 05
After refueling, tighten the cap securely and press the fuel door closed.
Important limits
- The release lever is inside the cabin; pushing on a still-latched fuel door can damage it.
- Switch the engine off and follow all fuel-station fire-safety rules before opening the cap.
- Mirage G4 is a separate body style and is intentionally outside this guide's trim scope.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the door stays latched, pull the interior release fully and have another person check for movement without prying.
- ✓If the lever feels loose or the door will not release, do not force the exterior panel; arrange Mitsubishi service.
- ✓If a fuel-cap warning remains after refueling, stop safely and retighten the cap.
