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.
