    Pull the lever to unlatch the exterior fuel door.

    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.
If it does not work

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.
