3 Cautions on the handling of 4-wheel drive
vehicles
N00530800161
Tires and wheelsSince the driving torque can be applied to the four wheels, the
driving performance of the vehicle when operating in 4-wheel
drive is greatly affected by the condition of the tires.
Pay close attention to the tires.

Install only the specified tires on all wheels. Refer to
“Tires and wheels” on page 9-10.


Be sure all four tires and wheels are the same size and
type.
When it is necessary to replace any of the tires or wheels,
replace all four.


All tires should be rotated before the wear difference
between the front and rear tires is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expected if there is a dif-
ference in wear between tires. Refer to “Tire rotation” on page
7-30.


Check the tire inflation pressure regularly.
CAUTION
!

Always use tires of the same size, type, and brand
that have no wear differences. Using tires of differ-
ent size, type, brands or degree of wear, will increase
the differential oil temperature and result in possi-
ble damage to the driving system. Further, the drive
train will be subject to excessive loading, possibly
leading to oil leakage, component seizure, or other
serious failures.

The vehicle is being driven with the
parking brake still applied.
Release the parking brake. Refer to
“Brake warning display” on page 3-

There is a fault in the engine oil circu-
lation system.
Park your vehicle in a safe place as
soon as possible and contact an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice to have
the system checked.
Refer to “Oil pressure warning” on
page 3-213.

There is a fault in the charging system.
Park your vehicle in a safe place as
soon as possible and contact an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice for assis-
tance.
Refer to “Charging system warning
light” on page 3-210.

There is a fault in the SRS airbag or the
pre-tensioner system.
Contact an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice to have the system

Check your tires each time you refuel. If one tire looks lower
than the others, check the pressure for all of them.
You should also take the following safety precautions:

Keep your tires inflated to the recommended pressures.
(See the tire and loading information placard attached to
the driver’s door sill.)


Stay within the recommended load limits.


Make sure that the weight of any load in your vehicle is
evenly distributed.


Drive at safe speeds.


After filling your tires to the correct pressure, check them
for damage and air leaks. Be sure to reinstall the caps on
the valve stems.
Replacing tires and wheels

CAUTION
!

Avoid using different size tires from the one listed
and the combined use of different types of tires, as
this can affect driving safety.
Refer to “Tires and wheels” on page 9-10.


On all-wheel drive vehicles, always use tires of the
same size, same type, and same brand, and which
have no wear differences. Using tires that differ in
size, type, brand or the degree of wear, will increase
the differential oil temperature, resulting in possible
damage to the driving system. Further, the drive
train will be subjected to excessive loading, possibly
leading to oil leakage, component seizure, or other
serious problems.


Only Mitsubishi Motors Authorized wheels should
be used, because your vehicle is equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system.
Use of another type of wheel risks air leaks and sen-
sor damage, as it will not be possible to install the
tire pressure sensor properly.
