2011 MITSUBISHI COLT height

CAUTIONlThe compact spare tyre should not be
used on any other wheels, nor should
standard tyres, snow tyres, wheel covers
or trim rings be used with the compact
spare wheel. If such use is attempted, dam-
age to these items or other vehicle compo-
nents may occur.
l Upon installation of the compact spare
tyre, the overall vehicle height is lowered
slightly as the tyre is smaller in diameter
than the standard tyre. When passing
over the projections on the road, take
care not to drive the vehicle with the
same feeling as used in driving with the
standard tyre on.
l Do not install more than one compact
spare wheel at the same time.
l When the tread wear indicators appear,
the tyre must be replaced.
Refer to “Wheel condition” on page 8-13.To remove

CAUTIONlIf 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
CAUTIONl Avoid the combined use of different types
of tyres.
This can affect vehicle performance and
safety.Snow tyres E01002000549
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.CAUTIONl 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 E01002101491
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. The max. chain height is as follows.

brakes, so 14-inch tyres and wheels cannot be
used on them.
*2 : Use only 175/65R14 snow tyres (M + S) with
the 1500 models of the vehicles without turbo-
charger.
*3 : Snow tyres (M + S) onlyCAUTIONl For vehicle with 195/50R15 or 205/45R16
tyres, chains should not be used. The clear-
ance between the chains and the body is
small, and the body might be damaged.
However, if chains must be used on vehi-
cles with 195/50R15 or 205/45R16 tyres,
because of the adverse road conditions
such as snow or ice, proceed as follows:
Change all the original tyres (including
wheels) to 175/65R14 tyres (14x5.5 J
wheels) or 185/55R15 M + S tyres (15x6.0
J wheels) and then use the chains on front
wheels.
