CAUTION
l
If the tyres have arrows (A) indicating
the correct direction of rotation, swap the
front and rear wheels on the left hand
side of the vehicle and the front and rear
wheels on the right hand side of the vehi-
cle separately. Keep each tyre on its origi-
nal side of the vehicle. When fitting the
tyres, make sure the arrows point in the
direction in which the wheels will turn
when the vehicle moves forward. Any
tyre whose arrow points in the wrong di-
rection will not perform to its full poten-
tial.
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
E01002000725
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.
Snow tyres worn more than 50% are no longer suit-
able for use as snow tyres.
Snow tyres which do not meet specifications must
not be used. CAUTION
l
Observe
permissable 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 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 in-
correct 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 Serv-
ice Point. Tyre size Wheel size Max chain
height[mm]
215/60R16 16x6.5 JJ 9
215/55R17 17x7.0 J The speed limit for tyre chain is 50 km/h (30
mph)
and remove the tyre chains as soon as possible on
snow free roads. WARNING
l DO
NOT use a jack when fitting the
chains, as in thsee conditions, the tyres
may slip on the icy road causing the vehi-
cle to slip off the jack. 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.
l Care should be taken with extremes of
steering lock to prevent possible contact
between the chains and the vehicle body. Maintenance
