Handling of compact discs
E00723000425
l Use
only the type of compact discs that have
the mark shown in the illustration below.
(Playback of CD-R or CD-RW discs may
cause problems.) l
The use of special shaped, damaged compact
discs (like cracked discs) or low-quality com-
pact discs (like warped discs or burrs on the
discs) such as those shown will damage the
CD player. l
In
the following circumstances, moisture can
form on discs and inside the audio system,
preventing normal operation. • When there is high humidity (for exam-ple, when it is raining). • When
the temperature suddenly rises,
such as right after the heater is turned on
in cold weather.

In this case, wait until the moisture has
had time to dry out.
l When the CD player is subjected to violent vi-
brations, such as during off-road driving, the
tracking may not work.
l When storing compact discs, always store
them in their separate cases. Never place com-
pact discs in direct sunlight, or in any place
where the temperature or humidity is high.
l Never touch the flat surface of the disc with-
out a label. This will damage the disc surface
and could affect the sound quality. When han-
dling a compact disc, always hold it by the
outer edge and the centre hole.
l To clean a disc, use a soft, clean, dry cloth.
Wipe directly from the centre hole towards
the outer edge. Do not wipe in a circle. Nev-
er use any chemicals such as benzine, paint
thinner, a disc spray cleaner, or an anti-static
agent on the disc.
l Do not use a ball point pen, felt pen, pencil,
etc. to write on the label surface of the disc.
l Do not put additional labels or stickers on
compact discs.
Also, do not use any compact disc on which
a label or sticker has started to peel off or
any compact disc that has stickiness or other
contamination left by a peeled-off label or
sticker. If you use such a compact disc, the
CD player may stop working properly and
you may not be able to eject the compact disc. For pleasant driving

14. Place the compressor (M) with its air pres-
sure gauge (N) on top.
Pull out the compressor’s power cord (O), in-
sert the plug on the cord into the accessory
socket or cigarette lighter socket (P), and
then turn the ignition switch to “ACC” posi-
tion or put the operation mode in ACC.
Turn ON the compressor switch (Q) and in-
flate the tyre to the specified pressure. CAUTION
l
The
supplied compressor is designed only
for inflation of passenger vehicle tyres.
l The compressor is designed to run on a ve-
hicle’s 12 V power supply. Do not connect
it to any other power source.
l The compressor is not waterproof. If you
use it in rain, make sure water does not
get on it. CAUTION
l
Any
sand or dust sucked into the compres-
sor could make the compressor break
down. Do not place the compressor direct-
ly on any sandy or dusty surface when us-
ing it.
l Do not disassemble or modify the com-
pressor. Also, do not subject the air pres-
sure gauge to shock. It could malfunction.
15. Check
and adjust the tyre pressure with refer- ence to the air pressure gauge on the compres-
sor. If you overinflate the tyre, release air by
loosening the hose’s end fitting. (Refer to
“Tyre inflation pressures” on page 8-12.)
If there is a gap between the tyre and wheel
because the tyre has moved inward from the
wheel rim, press the periphery of the tyre to-
wards the wheel to close the gap before run-
ning the compressor. (With no gaps, the tyre
pressure will rise.) CAUTION
l
Be
careful not to get your fingers trapped
between the tyre and wheel as the tyre in-
flates.
l The surface of the compressor will get
hot while the compressor is running. Do
not keep the compressor running continu-
ously for more than 10 minutes. After us-
ing the compressor, wait for the compres-
sor to cool before using it again. CAUTION
l
If
the compressor becomes sluggish or
hot while operating, it is overheating. Im-
mediately place the switch in the OFF po-
sition and let the compressor cool down
for at least 30 minutes.
NOTE l If

the tyre pressure does not rise to the speci-
fied level within 10 minutes, the tyre may be
so severely damaged that the tyre sealant can-
not be used to effect an emergency repair.
Please contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point or another specialist
in this event.
16. Turn OFF the compressor switch, then pull the power cord plug out of the socket.
NOTE l Simply putting sealant and air into the tyre us-
ing the tyre repair kit does not seal the punc-
ture hole. Air will leak through the puncture
hole until the emergency repair procedure is
completed (through step 19 of these instruc-
tions).
17. When you have inflated the tyre to the speci- fied pressure, stow the compressor, bottle,
and other items in the vehicle and promptly
start driving the vehicle. Drive with great
care. Do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph). Observe local speed limits. 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

3. Rotate the jack by hand until the flange por-
tion (B) fits in the groove (C) at the top of
the jack. 4. Insert
the jack bar (D) into the wheel nut
wrench (E).
Then put the end of the jack bar into the
shaft’s jack end, as shown in the illustration. Slowly rotate the wheel nut wrench until the
tyre is raised slightly off the ground surface. WARNING
l Stop
jacking up the vehicle as soon as the
tyre is raised off the ground. It is danger-
ous to raise the vehicle any higher.
l Do not get under your vehicle while using
the jack.
l Do not bump the raised vehicle or leave it
sitting on the jack for a long time. Both
are very dangerous.
l Do not use a jack except the one that
came with your vehicle.
l The jack should not be used for any pur-
pose other than to change a tyre.
l No one should be in your vehicle when us-
ing the jack.
l Do not start or run the engine while your
vehicle is on the jack.
l Do not turn the raised wheel. The tyres
still on the ground could turn and make
your vehicle fall off the jack. 5. Remove
the wheel nuts with the wheel nut
wrench, then take the wheel off. CAUTION
l
Handle
the wheel carefully when chang-
ing the tyre, to avoid scratching the wheel
surface.
6. Clean
out any mud, etc. on the hub surface (F), hub bolts (G) or in the installation holes
(H) in the wheel, and then mount the spare
tyre. For emergencies
