Check the tyre inflation pressure of all the tyres while they are cold; if insufficient or excessive, adjust to the specified value.
After the tyre inflation pressure has been adjusted, check the tyres for damage and air leaks. Be sure to put caps on the valves.

Tyre rotation
E01001900958
Tyre wear varies with vehicle conditions, road surface condi-
tions and individual driver’s driving habits. To equalize the
wear and help extend tyre life, it is recommended to rotate the
tyres immediately after discovery of abnormal wear, or when-
ever the wear difference between the front and rear tyres is rec-
ognizable.
When rotating tyres, check for uneven wear and damage.
Abnormal wear is usually caused by incorrect tyre pressure,
improper wheel alignment, out of balance wheel, or severe
braking. We recommend you to have it checked to determine
the cause of irregular tread wear.
CAUTION
!●A compact spare tyre can be fitted temporarily in
place of a tyre that has been removed during the
tyre rotation. However, it must not be included in
the regular tyre rotation sequence.Tyres that have arrows showing rotation direction

Tyre chains
E01002101130
If tyre chains have to be used, ensure that they are fitted only
on the drive wheels (front).
Use only tyre chains which are designed for use with the tyres
mounted on the vehicle: use of the incorrect size or type of
chain could result in damage to the vehicle body.
Before fitting tyre chains, We recommend you to consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
The speed limit for tyre chain is 50 km/h (31 mph) and remove
the tyre chains as soon as possible on snow free roads.

WARNING
!●DO NOT use a jack when fitting the chains, as in the
conditions, the tyres may slip on the icy road causing
the vehicle to slip off the jack.
CAUTION
!●Practice fitting the chains before you need them.
Don’t expect help from other people in the cold.●Choose a clear straight stretch of road where you
can pull off and still be seen while you are fitting the
chains.●Do not fit chains before you need them. This will
wear out your tyres and the road surface.●After driving around 100-300 metres, stop and
retighten the chains.●Care should be taken with extremes of steering lock
to prevent possible contact between the chains and
the vehicle body.●Drive carefully and do not exceed 50 km/h (31 mph).
Remember, fitting chains is not going to stop acci-
dents from happening.●When tyre chains are installed, take care that they
do not damage the disc wheel or body.●Do not install a tyre chain on an emergency wheel
which is compact in size. If one of the front wheels
has punctured, replace it with one of the rear wheels
and install the compact spare wheel in that place
before fitting a tyre chain.
