NOTE
l In
cold conditions (when the ambient temper-
ature is 0 °C or lower), thickening of the tyre
sealant can make the tyre sealant hard to
squeeze out of the bottle. Warm the bottle in-
side the vehicle.
7. Do not remove the seal (C). Screw the filler hose (D) onto the bottle (E). As you screw
the filler hose onto the bottle, the seal will
break, allowing the sealant to be used. CAUTION
l
If
you shake the bottle after screwing on
the hose, sealant may spray out of the hose.
8. Take
the valve cap (F) off the tyre valve (G), then press the valve remover (H) onto the
valve as illustrated. Allow all of the air in the
tyre to escape. 9. Remove the valve insert (I) by turning it anti-
clockwise
using the valve remover (H). Put
the removed valve insert in a clean place so
it does not get dirty. CAUTION
l
If
there is any air left in the tyre when
you remove the valve insert, the valve in-
sert may fly out and injure you. Make
sure the tyre contains no air before remov-
ing the valve insert.
10. Remove
the plug (J) from the free end of the
hose (K).
Press the hose onto the valve (G). For emergencies

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.
The tyre size of the 215/65R16 size tempo-
rary spare tyre is different from that of
the standard tyre. When the temporary
spare tyre is used, avoid quick starts, sud-
den 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. CAUTION
l
Do
not install more than one temporary
spare wheel at the same time.
To remove the spare wheel E00803300117
1. Lift up the luggage floor board.
2. To

remove the spare wheel, remove the instal-
lation clamp (A) by turning it anticlockwise. NOTE
l Put

the spare wheel under the vehicle body
near the jack. For emergencies

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. WARNING
l Be
sure to position the tyres the correct
way when putting them on the vehicle.
The valves should be on the outer side of
the vehicle. If the valve (I) cannot be seen,
the tyre has been mounted the wrong way
around.
If tyres are mounted the wrong way
around it could have a negative effect on
the vehicle and cause an accident. 7. Turn
the wheel nuts clockwise by hand to in-
itially tighten them.

[Vehicle with the tapered nuts]
Initially tighten the wheel nuts until the ta-
pered part (A) of the nuts lightly touches the
wheel hole seats (B) enough to keep the tyre
from wobbling. [Vehicle with the flange nuts]
•
Aluminium wheelInitially tighten the wheel nuts until
the wheel nut flange area (C) touches For emergencies

OGWE12E1

the wheel enough to keep the tyre
from wobbling.
• Steel wheel
Initially tighten the wheel nuts until
the tapered area (A) of the nuts lightly
touches the wheel hole seat area (B)
enough to keep the tyre from wobbling. CAUTION
l
Never
apply oil to either the wheel bolts
or the nuts, or they will tighten too much.
NOTE l Flange

nuts can be temporarily used on the
steel wheel, but return to the original wheel
and tyre as soon as possible.
l If all 4 aluminium wheels are changed to
steel wheels, e.g. when fitting winter tyres,
use tapered nuts.
8. Lower the vehicle slowly by rotating the wheel nut wrench anticlockwise until the
tyre touches the ground. 9. Tighten
the nuts in the order shown in the il-
lustration until each nut has been tightened
to the torque listed here.

Tightening torque 88 to 108 Nm (Achieved
by applying force of 350 to 420 N
at end of wheel nut wrench supplied with ve-
hicle) CAUTION
l
Never
use your foot or a pipe extension
for extra force in the wheel nut wrench.
If you do so, you will tighten the nut too
much.
10. If the vehicle has a wheel cover, install it. Refer to “Wheel covers” on page
6-17.
11. Lower and remove the jack, then store the jack, flat tyre, and chocks. Have your dam-
aged tyre repaired as soon as possible.
12. Check your tyre inflation pressure at the next gasstation. For emergencies

The correct tyre pressures are shown on the
driver’s door label. See the illustration.
CAUTION
l
The temporary spare wheel is to be used
only temporarily when the standard
wheel is damaged. Repair the damaged
tyre as soon as possible and use it to re-
place the temporary spare tyre.
l After changing the tyre and driving the ve-
hicle about 1,000 km (620 miles), retight-
en the wheel nuts to make sure that they
have not come loose.
l If the steering wheel vibrates when driv-
ing after changing the tyre, we recom-
mend you to have the tyres checked for
balance.
l Do not mix one type of tyre with another
or use a different size from the one listed.
This would cause early wear and poor han-
dling. To store the flat tyre or spare wheel
E00803400176
1.

Lift up the luggage floor board.
2. To store the flat tyre or spare wheel, fit the installation clamp (A) by turning it clockwise. NOTE
l On

vehicles with a T155/90D16 or
T125/90D16 size spare wheel, the clamp can-
not be used for a normal size tyre.
3. Have your damaged tyre repaired as soon as possible.
To store the tools and jack E00803800154
Reverse the removing procedure when storing the
jack, jack bar and wheel nut wrench.
