NOTElThe chocks shown in the illustration do not
come with your vehicle. It is recommended
that you keep one in the vehicle for use if needed.
l If chocks or blocks are not available, use
stones or any other objects that are large enough to hold the wheel in position.
6. Get the jack bar and wheel nut wrench
ready.
Refer to “Tool and jack” on page 8-06.
Spare wheel information*
E00803600585
Check the air pressure of the spare tyre fre- quently and make sure it is ready for emer-
gency use at any time.
Maintaining the spare wheel at the highest specified air pressure will ensure that it can
always be used under any conditions (city/ high-speed driving, varying load weight,etc.).
The spare wheel is stored beneath the lug-
gage floor board of the luggage compartment.
CAUTIONl The pressure should be periodically checked
and maintained at the specified pressure while the tyre is stowed.
Driving with an insufficient tyre pressure
can lead to an accident. If you have no choice but to drive with an insufficient tyre
pressure, keep your speed down and inflate the tyre to the correct pressure as soon as
possible. (Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures”
on page 10-13.)
l When the tread wear indicators appear, the
tyre must be replaced.
Refer to “Wheel condition” on page 10-13.
Temporary spare wheel (spare
wheel with a speed limit label)*
The T155/90D16 or T125/90D16 size spare
wheel is stored beneath the luggage floor
board of the luggage compartment. It is de- signed to save space in the luggage compart-ment and its light weight makes it easy to
handle in the event of a flat tyre.
CAUTIONl The temporary spare wheel is for temporary
use only and should be removed as soon as
the original wheel can be repaired or re-
placed.
l The vehicle must not be driven at speeds in
excess of 80 km/h (50 mph) while using thetemporary spare wheel.CAUTIONl The
T155/90D16 or T125/90D16 size spare
wheel is not as good as a standard wheel in controllability and stability. When the tem-
porary 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, sudden brak- ing 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 Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
l Do not use tyre chains with your temporary
spare wheel. Because of the smaller tyresize, a tyre chain will not fit properly. 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 re-
moved rear wheel to replace the flat front
wheel so that you can continue to use the chains.

CAUTIONlUpon 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 vehicle’s
undercarriage.
l Do not install more than one temporary
spare wheel at the same time.To remove the spare wheel
E00803301130
1. Lift up the luggage floor board.
2. To remove the spare wheel, remove the
installation clamp (A) by turning it anti-
clockwise.NOTEl Put the spare wheel under the vehicle body
near the jack. This makes it safer if the jack slips out of position.To change a tyre
E00803200653
1. If a wheel cover is installed, first remove
the cover. (Refer to “Wheel covers”.)
Then loosen the wheel nuts a quarter
turn with the wheel nut wrench. Do not remove the wheel nuts yet.
2. Place the jack under one of the jacking
points (A) shown in the illustration. Use
the jacking point closest to the tyre you wish to change.

WARNINGlSet 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 personal injury.
l Do not use the jack on a tilted or soft sur-
face.
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 in the groove (C) at the
top of the jack.
4. Insert the jack bar (D) into the wheel nut
wrench (E).
Then put the end of the jack bar into the
shaft’s jack end, as shown in the illustra- tion.
Slowly rotate the wheel nut wrench until
the tyre is raised slightly off the ground
surface.WARNINGl 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.

NOTElAfter replacing the battery, the electronic
control system data for the automatic trans- mission, etc., will be erased. As a result,
shift shocks may occur.
Shift shocks will become smoother after sev-
eral changes in speed.
Checking battery electrolyte
level (Type 1 only)
The electrolyte level must be between the specified limit on the outside of the battery.
Replenish with distilled water as necessary.
The inside of the battery is divided into sev- eral compartments; remove the cap from each
compartment and fill to the upper mark. Do not top up beyond the upper mark because
spillage during driving could cause damage.
Check the electrolyte level at least once every
4 weeks, depending on the operating condi- tions.
If the battery is not used, it will discharge by
itself with time.
Check it once every 4 weeks and charge with
low current as necessary.NOTEl To replenish with the distilled water, remove
the upper cover and duct.
Refer to “Removing and installing the upper
cover and duct” on page 10-09.Removing and installing the
upper cover and duct
E01010700112
WARNINGl Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK”
position or put the operation mode in OFF.
Make sure that your clothes cannot be
caught by the fan or drive belt. Personal
injury could result.To remove
1. Remove the clips (A), and then remove
the upper cover (B).
2. Remove the clips (C), and then remove
the air duct (D).
