2014 MITSUBISHI ASX wheel

NOTE•The tyre sealant’s expiry date has passed.
(The expiry date is shown on the bottle la- bel.)
• More than one tyre is punctured.
• The puncture hole has a length or width of
4 mm or more.
• The tyre is punctured in the side wall (A),
not in the tread (B).
NOTE• The vehicle has been driven with the tyre
almost completely flat.
• The tyre has completely slipped over the
wheel rim and has come off the wheel.
• The wheel is damaged.
l Use the tyre sealant only at ambient temper-
atures of -30 °C to + 60 °C.
l Effect an emergency repair without pulling
out the object (nail, screw, etc.) that is stuck
in the tyre.
l Do not use the tyre sealant if the tyre has
been damaged by being driven when insuffi- ciently inflated (e.g. bumps, cuts, cracks etc.
on the tyre).
l Wipe tyre sealant off the paintwork immedi-
ately with a damp cloth.
l Immediately wash clothes contaminated
with tyre sealant.
Before repairing a tyre, first stop your vehicle
in a safe, flat location. 1. Park the vehicle on level and stable
ground.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. On vehicles with M/T, stop the engine
and move the gearshift lever to the “R”
(Reverse) position.
On vehicles with A/T or CVT, move the
selector lever to the “P” (PARK) posi- tion and stop the engine.
4. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and
set up a warning triangle, flashing signal
lamp, etc., at an adequate distance from
the vehicle, and have all your passengers
leave the vehicle.
5. Take out the tyre sealant bottle and the
compressor.
6. Shake the tyre sealant bottle well.NOTEl In cold conditions (when the ambient tem-
perature is 0 °C or lower), thickening of the
tyre sealant can make the tyre sealant hard to squeeze out of the bottle. Warm the bottleinside the vehicle.
7. Take the cap (C) off the type sealant bot-
tle (D). Do not remove the seal (E). Screw the filler hose (D) onto the bottle
(E). As you screw the filler hose onto the

(Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures” on
page 10-13.)CAUTIONl The supplied compressor is designed only
for inflation of passenger vehicle tyres.
l The compressor is designed to run on a vehi-
cle’s 12 V power supply. Do not connect itto any other power source.
l The compressor is not waterproof. If you use
it in rain, make sure water does not get on it.
l Any sand or dust sucked into the compressor
could make the compressor break down. Do not place the compressor directly on anysandy or dusty surface when using it.CAUTIONl Do not disassemble or modify the compres-
sor. Also, do not subject the air pressure
gauge to shock. It could malfunction.
15. Check and adjust the tyre pressure with
reference to the air pressure gauge on the
compressor. If you overinflate the tyre, release air by loosening the hose’s end
fitting.
If there is a gap between the tyre and
wheel because the tyre has moved in-
ward from the wheel rim, press the pe- riphery of the tyre towards the wheel to
close the gap before running the com- pressor. (With no gaps, the tyre pressure
will rise.)
CAUTIONl Be careful not to get your fingers trapped be-
tween the tyre and wheel as the tyre inflates.
l The surface of the compressor will get hot
while the compressor is running. Do not
keep the compressor running continuously for more than 10 minutes. After using the
compressor, wait for the compressor to cool before using it again.CAUTIONl If the compressor becomes sluggish or hot
while operating, it is overheating. Immedi-
ately place the switch in the OFF position and let the compressor cool down for at least30 minutes.NOTEl If the tyre pressure does not rise to the speci-
fied level within 10 minutes, the tyre may be
so severely damaged that the tyre sealant
cannot be used to effect an emergency re- pair. Please contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or an-
other specialist in this event.
16. Turn OFF the compressor switch, then
pull the power cord plug out of the sock- et.
NOTEl Simply putting sealant and air into the tyre
using the tyre repair kit does not seal the
puncture hole. Air will leak through the puncture hole until the emergency repair procedure is completed (through step 19 of
these instructions).
17. Affix the speed restriction sticker (R) to
the steering wheel at the position shown
in the illustration. Then immediately

drive with great care to a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or
another specialist and have tyre repair/ replacement performed.CAUTIONl Do not affix the sticker anywhere except the
specified position on the pad of the steeringwheel. Affixing the sticker in an incorrect
position could prevent the SRS airbag from working normally.
l Be sure to check the tyre pressure for confir-
mation that the emergency repair procedureis complete.
18. When you have inflated the tyre to the
specified pressure, stow the compressor,
bottle, and other items in the vehicle and
promptly start driving the vehicle so that the tyre sealant can spread evenly in the
tyre. Drive with great care. Do not ex-
ceed a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). Ob-
serve local speed limits.CAUTIONl If you sense any abnormality while driving,
stop the vehicle and contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or an-
other specialist. Otherwise the tyre pressure
may drop before the emergency repair pro- cedure is completed, rendering the vehicle
unsafe.NOTEl Driving faster than 80 km/h (50 mph)
can
make the vehicle vibrate.
19. After driving for 10 minutes or 5 km
(3 miles), check the tyre pressure using
the air pressure gauge on the compres- sor.
If the tyre pressure is not sufficient, in-
flate the tyre to the specified pressure again and drive the vehicle carefully
without exceeding a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
CAUTIONl If the tyre pressure is lower than the mini-
mum permitted pressure (1.3 bar {130 kPa}), the tyre cannot successfully be
repaired with the tyre sealant. Do not drive the vehicle any further. Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point or another specialist.
20. After driving for 10 minutes or 5 km
(3 miles), check the tyre pressure using
the air pressure gauge on the compres- sor. If the tyre pressure has apparentlynot dropped, the emergency repair pro-
cedure is complete. You must still not exceed a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) .
Observe local speed limits.
NOTEl If the tyre pressure has dropped below the
specified level when you check it at the end
of the repair procedure, do not drive the ve- hicle any further. Contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or an-
other specialist.

NOTElIn cold conditions (when the ambient tem-
perature is 0 °C or lower), the time and driv-
ing distance necessary until completion of
the repair can be longer than in warmer con- ditions, meaning that the tyre pressure candrop below the specified level even when
you have inflated the tyre a second time and
subsequently driven the vehicle. If this hap- pens, inflate the tyre to the specified pres-
sure once more, drive for about 10 minutes or 5 km (3 miles), then check the tyre pres-sure again. If the tyre pressure has again
dropped below the specified level, stop driv- ing the vehicle and contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or an-
other specialist.
l Please give the empty sealant bottle to your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point when you purchase new sealant or
dispose of the sealant bottle according to na- tional regulations for the disposal of chemi-
cal waste.
l A tyre in which puncture sealant has been
used should ideally be replaced with a new one. If you wish to have such a tyre properly repaired for reuse, please contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point or another specialist. Note that a
proper repair is impossible following an emergency repair if the puncture hole cannot
be located.
l Wipe away any sealant that gets on the
wheel. Provided the valve is replaced with anew one, the wheel can be reused.NOTEl The manufacturer is unable to guarantee that
all tyre punctures can be repaired with the tyre repair kit, in particular cuts or perfora-
tions with a diameter of more than 4 mm or
away from the tyre’s tread. The manufactur-
er is not liable for damage sustained through improper use of the tyre repair kit.
l The manufacturer is not liable for damage
sustained through re-use of any tyre in which tyre sealant has been used.How to change a tyre
E00801202943
Before changing a tyre, first stop your vehi-cle in a safe, flat location. 1. Park the vehicle on level and stable
ground, free of loose pebbles, etc.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. On vehicles with M/T, stop the engine
and move the gearshift lever to the “R”
(Reverse) position.
On vehicles with A/T or CVT, move the
selector lever to the “P” (PARK) posi- tion and stop the engine.
4. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and
set up a warning triangle, flashing signal
lamp, etc., at an adequate distance from the vehicle, and have all your passengers
leave the vehicle.
NOTEl The warning triangle and flashing signal
lamp do not come with your vehicle. It is recommended that you keep one in the vehi- cle for use if needed.
5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling
when it is raised on the jack, place
chocks or blocks (A) in front of and be- hind the tyre that is diagonally opposite
from the tyre (B) you are changing.
WARNINGl Be sure to apply chocks or blocks to the
correct tyre when jacking up the vehicle.If the vehicle moves while jacked up, the
jack could slip out of position, leading to
an accident.

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

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.

WARNINGlDo 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.
CAUTIONl Handle the wheel carefully when changing
the tyre, to avoid scratching the wheel sur- face.
6. Clean out any mud, etc. on the hub sur-
face (F), hub bolts (G) or in the installa- tion holes (H) in the wheel, and then
mount the spare tyre.
WARNINGl 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 wayaround.
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 initially tighten them.

[Vehicle with the tapered nuts]
Initially tighten the wheel nuts until the tapered part (A) of the nuts lightly
touches the wheel hole seats (B) enough
to keep the tyre from wobbling.
