E00800502503
If
the engine cannot be started because the battery
is weak or dead, the battery from another vehicle
can be used with jumper cables to start the engine. WARNING
l To
start the engine using jumper cables
connected to another vehicle, perform the
correct procedures according to the in-
struction below. Incorrect procedures
could result in a fire or explosion or dam-
age to the vehicles. CAUTION
l
Do
not attempt to start the engine by pull-
ing or pushing the vehicle.
It could damage your vehicle.
l Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the battery.
l Keep the battery out of the reach of chil-
dren.
1. Get
the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles
aren’t touching each other. CAUTION
l
Check
the other vehicle. It must have a 12-
volt battery.
If the other system isn’t 12-volt, shorting
can damage both vehicles. 2. Turn
off all lamps, heater and other electrical
loads.
3. Set the parking brake firmly on each vehicle. Put an A/T, CVT in “P” (PARK) or a M/T in
“N” (Neutral).
4. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” posi- tion or put the operation mode in OFF. WARNING
l Perform
step 4 on both vehicles before-
hand.

5. Make
sure battery electrolyte is at the proper level.
Refer to “Battery” on page 8-08. WARNING
l If
electrolyte fluid is not visible, or ap-
pears to be frozen, Do Not Attempt Jump
Starting!
A battery might rupture or explode if the
temperature is below the freezing point
or if it is not filled to the proper level.
6. Connect
one end of one jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal of the discharged bat-
tery (A), and the other end to the positive (+)
terminal of the booster battery (B).

CAUTION
l
If you sense any abnormality while driv-
ing, stop the vehicle and contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point or another specialist. Other-
wise the tyre pressure may drop before
the emergency repair procedure is com-
pleted, rendering the vehicle unsafe.
NOTE l Driving

faster than 80 km/h (50 mph) can
make the vehicle vibrate.
18. After driving for 10 minutes or 5 km (3 miles), check the tyre pressure using the
air pressure gauge on the compressor.
(Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures” on page
8-12.)
If the tyre pressure is not sufficient, inflate
the tyre to the specified pressure again and
drive the vehicle carefully without exceeding
a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). CAUTION
l
If
the tyre pressure is lower than the min-
imum permitted pressure (1.3 bar
{130 kPa}), the tyre cannot successfully
be repaired with the tyre sealant. Do not
drive the vehicle any further. Contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point or another specialist.
19. After
driving for 10 minutes or 5 km (3 miles), check the tyre pressure using the
air pressure gauge on the compressor. (Refer to “Tyre
inflation pressures” on page 8-12.)
If the tyre pressure has apparently not drop-
ped, the emergency repair procedure is com-
plete. You must still not exceed a speed of
80 km/h (50 mph). Observe local speed limits.
NOTE l If the tyre pressure has dropped below the
specified level when you check it at the end
of the repair procedure, do not drive the vehi-
cle any further. Contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or anoth-
er specialist.
l In cold conditions (when the ambient temper-
ature is 0 °C or lower), the time and driving
distance necessary until completion of the re-
pair can be longer than in warmer conditions,
meaning that the tyre pressure can drop be-
low the specified level even when you have
inflated the tyre a second time and subsequent-
ly driven the vehicle. If this happens, inflate
the tyre to the specified pressure once more,
drive for about 10 minutes or 5 km (3 miles),
then check the tyre pressure again. If the tyre
pressure has again dropped below the speci-
fied level, stop driving the vehicle and con-
tact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point or another specialist.
20. Affix the speed restriction sticker (R) to the steering wheel at the position shown in the il-
lustration. Then immediately drive with great
care to a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author- ized Service Point or another specialist and
have tyre repair/replacement performed.
CAUTION
l
Do
not affix the sticker anywhere except
the specified position on the pad of the
steering wheel. Affixing the sticker in an
incorrect position could prevent the SRS
airbag from working normally.
l Be sure to check the tyre pressure for con-
firmation that the emergency repair pro-
cedure is complete.
NOTE l Please

give the empty sealant bottle to your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point when you purchase new sealant or dis-
pose of the sealant bottle according to nation-
al regulations for the disposal of chemical
waste. For emergencies

Spare wheel information*
E00803600497
Check
the air pressure of the spare tyre frequently
and make sure it is ready for emergency use at any
time.

Maintaining the spare wheel at the highest speci-
fied air pressure will ensure that it can always be
used under any conditions (city/high-speed driving,
varying load weight, etc.).
The spare wheel is stored beneath the luggage floor
board of the luggage compartment. CAUTION
l
The
pressure should be periodically
checked and maintained at the specified
pressure while the tyre is stowed.
Driving with an insufficient tyre pressure
can lead to an accident. If you have no
choice but to drive with an insufficient
tyre pressure, keep your speed down and
inflate the tyre to the correct pressure as
soon as possible. (Refer to “Tyre inflation
pressures” on page 8-12.)
l When the tread wear indicators appear,
the tyre must be replaced.
Refer to “Wheel condition” on page 8-13.
Temporary spare wheel (spare wheel with a speed
limit label)*
The T155/90D16
or T125/90D16 size spare wheel
is stored beneath the luggage floor board of the lug-
gage compartment. It is designed to save space in
the luggage compartment and its light weight
makes it easy to handle in the event of a flat tyre. CAUTION
l
The
temporary spare wheel is for tempo-
rary use only and should be removed as
soon as the original wheel can be re-
paired or replaced.
l The vehicle must not be driven at speeds
in excess of 80 km/h (50 mph) while using
the temporary spare wheel.
l The T155/90D16 or T125/90D16 size
spare wheel is not as good as a standard
wheel in controllability and stability.
When the temporary spare wheel is used,
avoid quick starts, sudden braking and
sharp steering.
Tyre size of the 215/65R16 size tyre is dif-
ferent from that of the standard tyre.
When the temporary spare tyre is used,
avoid quick starts, sudden braking and
sharp steering.
l The temporary spare wheel is specifically
designed for your vehicle and it should
not be used on any other vehicle.
When you purchase a 215/65R16 size
spare wheel, be sure to purchase the type
designed specially for your vehicle from
your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point. CAUTION
l
Do not use tyre chains with your tempora-
ry spare wheel. Because of the smaller
tyre size, a tyre chain will not fit proper-
ly. This could cause damage to the wheel
and result in loss of the chain.
If a front tyre becomes flat when using
tyre chains, first replace a rear wheel
with the temporary spare wheel and then
use the removed rear wheel to replace the
flat front wheel so that you can continue
to use the chains. CAUTION
l
Upon
installation of the T155/90D16 or
T125/90D16 size spare wheel, the ground
clearance is reduced as the tyre is smaller
in diameter than the standard tyre.
When passing over the projections on the
road, take care not to damage the vehi-
cle’s undercarriage. For emergencies

8. Lower the vehicle slowly by rotating the
wheel nut wrench anticlockwise until the
tyre touches the ground. 9. Tighten
the nuts in the order shown in the il-
lustration until each nut has been tightened
to the torque listed here.

Tightening torque 88 to 108 Nm
(Achieved by applying force of 350 to 420 N
at end of wheel nut wrench supplied with ve-
hicle) CAUTION
l
Never
use your foot or a pipe extension
for extra force in the wheel nut wrench.
If you do so, you will tighten the nut too
much.
10. If the vehicle has a wheel cover, install it. Refer to “Wheel covers” on page
6-18.
11. Lower and remove the jack, then store the jack, flat tyre, and chocks. Have your dam-
aged tyre repaired as soon as possible.
12. Check your tyre inflation pressure at the next gasstation.
The correct tyre pressures are shown on the
driver’s door label. See the illustration. CAUTION
l
The
temporary spare wheel is to be used
only temporarily when the standard
wheel is damaged. Repair the damaged
tyre as soon as possible and use it to re-
place the temporary spare tyre. CAUTION
l
After
changing the tyre and driving the ve-
hicle about 1,000 km (620 miles), retight-
en the wheel nuts to make sure that they
have not come loose.
l If the steering wheel vibrates when driv-
ing after changing the tyre, we recom-
mend you to have the tyres checked for
balance.
l Do not mix one type of tyre with another
or use a different size from the one listed.
This would cause early wear and poor han-
dling.
To store the flat tyre or spare wheel E00803400176
1. Lift up the luggage floor board.
2. To

store the flat tyre or spare wheel, fit the
installation clamp (A) by turning it clockwise. NOTE
l On

vehicles with a T155/90D16 or
T125/90D16 size spare wheel, the clamp can-
not be used for a normal size tyre. For emergencies

WARNING
l When the engine is not running, the
brake booster and power steering system
do not operate. This means higher brake
depression force and higher steering ef-
fort are required. Therefore, vehicle oper-
ation is more difficult than usual. CAUTION
l
Do
not leave the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” position or the operation mode
in OFF. The steering wheel will lock, caus-
ing loss of control.
3. Place
the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position (M/T) or the selector lever in the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position (CVT).

tions.) CAUTION
l
The
person in the vehicle being towed
must pay attention to the brake lamps of
the towing vehicle and make sure the
rope never becomes slack.
l Avoid sudden braking, sudden accelera-
tion and sharp turning; such operation
could cause damage to the towing hooks
or the tow rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured as
a result. CAUTION
l
When
towing or being towed down a long
slope, the brakes may overheat reducing
the effectiveness. In this situation, have
your vehicle transported by a tow truck.
l When the vehicle equipped with CVT is
to be towed by another vehicle with the
all wheels on the ground, make sure that
the towing speed and distance given be-
low are never exceeded, causing damage
to the transmission.
