2. To remove the spare tire, remove the installation clamp(A) by turning it counterclockwise.NOTE
The clamp cannot be used for a normal size tire. Store a
normal size tire under the luggage floor board.
To change a tire
N00849800421
1. On vehicles with wheel covers, first remove the covers
(refer to “Wheel covers” on page 6-19). Then, loosen the
wheel nuts with the wheel nut wrench. Do not remove the
wheel nuts yet.

2. Place the jack under one of the jacking points (A) shownin the illustration. Use the jacking point closest to the tire
you wish to change.
NOTE
Put the spare wheel under the vehicle body near the jack.
This makes it safer if the jack slips out of position.
WARNING
!
Set the jack only at the positions shown here. If the
jack is set at a wrong position, it could dent your
vehicle or the jack might fall over and cause per-
sonal injury.
Do not use the jack on a tilted or soft surface.
Otherwise, the jack might slip and cause personal
injury. Always use the jack on a flat, hard surface.
Before setting the jack, make sure there are no sand
or pebbles under the jack base.

3. Rotate the jack by hand until the flange portion (B) fits inthe groove (C) at the top of the jack. 4. Insert the bar (D) into the wheel nut wrench (E). Then put
the end of the bar into the shaft’s jack end, as shown in the
illustration.
Slowly rotate the wheel nut wrench until the tire is raised
slightly off the ground surface.
WARNING
!
Stop jacking up the vehicle as soon as the tire is
raised off the ground. It is dangerous to raise the
vehicle any higher.
Do not get under your vehicle while using the jack.
Do not bump the raised vehicle or leave it sitting on
the jack for a long time. Both are very dangerous.
Do not use a jack except the one that came with your
vehicle.
The jack should not be used for any purpose other
than to change a tire.

[Vehicle with the flange nuts]• Aluminium wheel
Temporarily tighten the wheel nuts until their flange
section comes in contact with the wheel and it is no
longer loose. • Steel wheel
Install the wheel nuts with their tapered ends facing
inward, then tighten by hand until the wheel is no longer
loose.
NOTE
Flange nuts can be temporarily used on the compact spare
or steel wheel, but return them to the original wheel and
tire as soon as possible.

If all 4 wheels are changed to steel wheels, use tapered
nuts.
CAUTION
!
Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts or the nuts
or they will tighten too much.

N00938100089
The continuously variable transmission (CVT) should be main-
tained and serviced by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility of your choice to obtain the best perfor-
mance and longest life. It is important that the transmission
fluid is kept at the correct level.Fluid typeUse only “Mitsubishi Motors Genuine CVTF-J4” transmission
fluid to ensure optimum transmission performance.Special additivesDo not use any fluid additives to the transmission.

The windshield and rear window washer fluid reservoir is in
the engine compartment.
Check the washer fluid level at regular intervals and add
washer fluid to reservoir if necessary.
Open the reservoir cap and check the fluid level with the dip-
stick.
When freezing weather is anticipated, flush out the water in the
reservoir by operating the pump. Fill the reservoir with wind-
shield antifreeze (not radiator antifreeze), and operate the sys-
tem for a few seconds to flush out the residual water.

Tire inflation pressures
N00939300899
Proper tire inflation pressure is essential for the safe and satis-
factory operation of your vehicle. The wrong tire pressure will
cause problems in three major areas:
Safety
Too little pressure increases flexing in the tire and can
cause tire failure. Too much pressure can cause a tire to
lose its ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and
potholes could then cause tire damage that may result in
tire failure.

Economy
The wrong tire pressure can cause uneven wear patterns in
the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce
the tread life, and the tire will have to be replaced sooner.
Too little pressure also makes it harder for the tire to roll,
and this uses up more fuel.

Ride comfort and vehicle stability
The superior riding experience built into your vehicle
partly depends on the correct tire pressure. Too much
pressure gives an uncomfortable and jarring ride. Too lit-
tle pressure feels as if your vehicle is slow to respond.
Unequal tire pressures can make steering your vehicle
uneven and unpredictable.
The tire pressure for your vehicle under normal driving condi-
tions is listed on the placard attached to the driver’s door sill.
(Refer to “Tire and loading information placard” on page 9-4.) The recommended inflation pressures under normal driving
conditions should be used for the tires listed below.
Tire pressures should be checked, and adjusted if necessary, at
least once a month.
Pressures should be checked more often whenever weather
temperatures change severely, because tire pressures change
with outdoor temperatures. The pressures listed are always
“cold inflation pressure”.
Cold inflation pressure is measured after the vehicle has been
parked for at least three hours or is driven less than 1 mile (1.6
km) after having been parked for three hours.
Cold inflation pressure must not go above the maximum values
molded into the tire sidewall. After driving several miles, your
tire inflation pressure may increase 2 to 6 psi (14 to 41 kPa)
from the cold inflation pressure. Do not let air out of the tires to
get back to the specified cold pressure, or your tires will be too
low.
