6How to change a tire
N00836900750
Before changing a tire, first stop your vehicle in a safe, flat
location.
1. Park the vehicle on level and stable ground.
2. Set the parking brake firmly, and move the selector lever
to the “P” (PARK) position.
3. Turn on the hazard flashers and turn the ignition key to the
“LOCK” position.
4. Set up a warning triangle, flashing signal light, etc., at an
adequate distance from the vehicle, and have all your pas-
sengers leave the vehicle.5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when it is raised on the
jack, place chocks or blocks (A) at the tire that is diago-
nally opposite from the tire (B) you are changing.
WA R N I N G
!
Be sure to apply chocks or blocks to the correct tire
when jacking up the vehicle. If the vehicle moves
while jacked up, the jack could slip out of position,
leading to an accident.

NOTE
The chocks shown in the illustration do not come with
your vehicle. It is recommended that you purchase chocks
or blocks and keep them in the vehicle for use if needed.

If chocks or blocks are not available, use stones or any
other objects that are large enough to hold the wheel in
position.
6. Get the jack, bar and wheel nut wrench ready.
Refer to “Tools and jack” on page 6-7.Spare tire information
N00849600269
Check the air pressure of the spare tire frequently and make
sure it is ready for emergency use at any time.
Maintaining the spare tire at the air pressure listed on the tire
and loading information placard will ensure that it can always
be used under any conditions (city/high-speed driving, varying
load weight, etc.).
The spare tire is stored beneath the luggage floor board of the
luggage compartment.
WA R N I N G
!
Tires, including spare tire, degrade over time with
age even when they are not being used.
It is recommended that tires over 6 years generally
be replaced even if damage is not obvious.
CAUTION
!
While the spare tire is stowed, the inflation pressure
should be checked at least once a month to assure
that it remains at the recommended inflation pres-
sure. See the tire and loading information placard
attached to the driver’s door sill. Refer to “Tire and
loading information placard” on page 9-3.
Driving with an improperly inflated tire can cause
an accident. If you have no choice but to drive with
an under-inflated tire, keep your speed down and
avoid sudden steering or braking, if possible. Inflate
the tire to the correct pressure as soon as possible.
Refer to “Tire inflation pressures” on page 7-24.
If your vehicle is equipped with the 17-inch-steel
spare tire or compact spare tire, it should only be
used temporarily. When the spare tire is used, the
tire pressure monitoring system will not work prop-
erly. See an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer as
soon as possible to replace or repair the original tire.
You can use the same wheel nuts on the spare tire
wheel.

Compact spare tire
(if so equipped)
The compact spare tire is designed to save space in the luggage
compartment. Its lighter weight makes it easier to use if a flat
tire occurs.
To remove the spare tire
N00849700143
1. Lift up the luggage floor board.
2. To remove the spare tire, remove the installation clamp
(A) by turning it counterclockwise.
CAUTION
!
You can use the same wheel nuts on the compact
spare tire wheel.
Do not go over 50 mph (80 km/h) when driving with
the compact spare tire.
Avoid fast starting and braking when driving with
the compact spare tire.
Do not drive through automatic car washes and over
obstacles that could possibly damage the underside
of your vehicle. Because the compact spare tire is
smaller than the original tire, there is less clearance
between the ground and your vehicle.
Because the compact spare tire is designed only for
your vehicle, do not use it on any other vehicle.
Do not put the compact spare tire on a different
wheel, and do not put standard tires, snow tires,
wheel covers or trim rings on the compact spare
wheel. Otherwise, you could damage these parts or
other parts on your vehicle.

2. Place the jack under one of the jacking points (A) shown
in the illustration. Use the jacking point closest to the tire
you wish to change.3. Rotate the jack by hand until the flange portion (B) fits in
the groove (C) at the top of the jack.
WA R N I N G
!
Set the jack only at the positions shown here. If the
jack is set at a wrong position, it could dent your
vehicle or the jack might fall over and cause per-
sonal injury.
Do not use the jack on a tilted or soft surface.
Otherwise, the jack might slip and cause personal
injury. Always use the jack on a flat, hard surface.
Before setting the jack, make sure there are no sand
or pebbles under the jack base.

4. Insert the bar (D) into the wheel nut wrench (E). Then put
the end of the bar into the shaft’s jack end, as shown in the
illustration.
Slowly rotate the wheel nut wrench until the tire is raised
slightly off the ground surface.
5. Remove the wheel nuts with the wheel nut wrench, then
take the wheel off.
WA R N I N G
!
Stop jacking up the vehicle as soon as the tire is
raised off the ground. It is dangerous to raise the
vehicle any higher.
Do not get under your vehicle while using the jack.
Do not bump the raised vehicle or leave it sitting on
the jack for a long time. Both are very dangerous.
Do not use a jack except the one that came with your
vehicle.
The jack should not be used for any purpose other
than to change a tire.

No one should be in your vehicle when using the
jack.
Do not start or run the engine while your vehicle is
on the jack.
Do not turn the raised wheel. The tires that are still
on the ground could turn and make your vehicle fall
off the jack.
CAUTION
!
Handle the wheel carefully when changing the tire,
to avoid scratching the wheel surface.
