2-
Tread wear indicator
Check the tyres for cuts, cracks and other damage.
Replace the tyres if there are deep cuts or cracks.
Also check each tyre for pieces of metal or pebbles.
The use of worn tyres can be very dangerous be-
cause of the greater chance of skidding or hydro-
planing. The tread depth of the tyres must exceed
1.6 mm in order for the tyres to meet the minimum
requirement for use.
Tread wear indicators will appear on the surface of
the tyre as the tyre wears, thereby indicating that
the tyre no longer meets the minimum requirement
for use. When these wear indicators appear, the
tyres must be replaced with new ones.
On 4-wheel drive vehicles, when replacement of
any of the tyres is necessary, replace all of them. CAUTION
l
Always
use tyres of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no
wear differences.
Using tyres of different size, type, brands
or degree of wear, will increase the differ-
ential oil temperature, resulting in possi-
ble damage to the driving system. Fur-
ther, the drive train will be subjected to
excessive loading, possibly leading to oil
leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous faults.
Replacing tyres and wheels E01007200243 CAUTION
l
Avoid
using different size tyres from the
one listed and the combined use of differ-
ent types of tyres, as this can affect driv-
ing safety.
Refer to “Tyres and wheels” on page
9-12.
l Even if a wheel has the same rim size and
offset as the specified type of wheel, its
shape may prevent it from being fitted cor-
rectly. We recommend you to consult a
specialist before using wheels that you
have. Tyre rotation
E01001901317
Tyre

wear varies with vehicle conditions, road sur-
face conditions and individual driver’s driving hab-
its. To equalize the wear and help extend tyre life,
it is recommended to rotate the tyres immediately
after discovery of abnormal wear, or whenever the
wear difference between the front and rear tyres is
recognizable.
When rotating tyres, check for uneven wear and
damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused by incor-
rect tyre pressure, improper wheel alignment, out
of balance wheel, or severe braking. We recom-
mend you to have it checked to determine the
cause of irregular tread wear.

*- If the spare tyre wheel differs from the standard
tyre
wheel, do not perform tyre rotation using a
spare wheel. CAUTION
l
A
temporary spare tyre can be fitted tem-
porarily in place of a tyre that has been re-
moved during the tyre rotation. However,
it must not be included in the regular tyre
rotation sequence.
l If the tyres have arrows (A) indicating
the correct direction of rotation, swap the
front and rear tyres on the left-hand side
of the vehicle and the front and rear tyres
on the right-hand side of the vehicle sepa-
rately. Keep each tyre on its original side
of the vehicle. When fitting the tyres,
make sure the arrows point in the direc-
tion in which the wheels will turn when
the vehicle moves forward. Any tyre
whose arrow points in the wrong direc-
tion will not perform to its full potential.
Front CAUTION
l
Avoid
the combined use of different types
of tyres.
Using different types of tyres can affect ve-
hicle performance and safety.
Snow tyres E01002000754
The use of snow tyres is recommended for driving
on

snow and ice. To preserve driving stability,
mount snow tyres of the same size and tread pat-
tern on all 4 wheels.
A snow tyre that is worn down more than 50% is
no longer appropriate to use.
Snow tyres which do not meet specifications must
not be used. CAUTION
l
Observe
permissible maximum speed for
your snow tyres and the legal speed limit.
NOTE l The

laws and regulations concerning snow
tyres (driving speed, required use, type, etc.)
vary. Find out and follow the laws and regu-
lations in the area you intend to drive.
l If flange nuts are used on your vehicle,
change to tapered nuts when steel wheels are
used.
Tyre chains E01002101736
If tyre chains have to be used, ensure that they are
fitted

only on the drive wheels (front) in accord-
ance with the manufacturer’s instructions. On 4WD vehicles in which the driving power is dis-
tributed

preferentially to the front wheels, ensure
that the tyre chains are fitted on the front.
Use only tyre chains which are designed for use
with the tyres mounted on the vehicle: use of the in-
correct size or type of chain could result in damage
to the vehicle body.
Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point before putting on tyre chains. The
max. chain height is as follows. Tyre size Wheel size Max. chain
height [mm]
215/65R16 16 x 6 1/2 J
16 x 6 1/2 JJ 9 mm
215/60R17 17 x 6 1/2 j When driving with tyre chains on the tyres, do not
drive

faster than 50 km/h (30 mph). When you
reach roads that are not covered in snow, immedi-
ately remove the tyre chains. CAUTION
l
Practice
fitting the chains before you
need them.
Don’t expect help from other people in
the cold.
l Choose a clear straight stretch of road
where you can pull over and still be seen
while you are fitting the chains.
l Do not fit chains before you need them.
This will wear out your tyres and the
road surface.
l After driving around 100-300 metres,
stop and retighten the chains. Maintenance

CAUTION
l
Drive carefully and do not exceed
50 km/h (30 mph).
Remember that preventing accidents is
not the purpose of tyre chains.
l When tyre chains are installed, take care
that they do not damage the disc wheel or
body.
l Do not install a tyre chain on an emergen-
cy wheel which is compact in size. If one
of the front wheels has punctured, re-
place it with one of the rear wheels and in-
stall the temporary spare wheel in that
place before fitting a tyre chain.
l An aluminium wheel can be damaged by
a tyre chain while driving. When fitting a
tyre chain on an aluminium wheel, take
care that any part of the chain and fitting
cannot be brought into contact with the
wheel.
l Remove the wheel covers before instal-
ling a tyre chain, otherwise they may be
damaged by the tyre chain. (See page
8-14.)
l When installing or removing the tyre
chains, take care that hands and other
parts of your body are not injured by the
sharp edges of the vehicle body.
NOTE l The

laws and regulations concerning the use
of tyre chains vary. Always follow local laws
and regulations.
In most countries, it is prohibited by law to
use tyre chains on roads without snow. Parking brake break-in
E01008300225
Break-in

the parking brake linings whenever the
brake performance of the parking brake is insuffi-
cient or whenever the parking brake linings and/or
discs are replaced, in order to assure the best brake
performance.
This procedure is described in the vehicle service
manual and can be carried out by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point. Wiper blade rubber replacement

blade further to remove it. NOTE
l Do

not let the wiper arm drop onto the wind-
