CAUTIONlThe temporary spare wheel is to be used on-
ly temporarily when the standard wheel isdamaged. Repair the damaged tyre as soon
as possible and use it to replace the tempora- ry spare tyre.
l After changing the tyre and driving the vehi-
cle about 1,000 km (620 miles), retighten the
wheel nuts to make sure that they have not come loose.
l If the steering wheel vibrates when driving
after changing the tyre, we recommend 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 handling.To store the flat tyre or spare
wheel
E00803401274
1. Lift up the luggage floor board.
2. Store the flat tyre or the spare wheel un-
der the luggage floor board. To store the
flat tyre or spare wheel, fit the installa- tion clamp (A) by turning it clockwise.NOTEl On vehicles with a
T155/90D16 size spare
wheel, the clamp cannot be used for a nor-
mal size tyre.
3. Have your damaged tyre repaired as
soon as possible.

Wheel covers*
E00801300692
To remove
Wrap the tip of the jack bar with a cloth, in- sert it deeply into the notch provided in the
wheel cover, and pry the cover away from the wheel. Using the same procedure at the other
wheel cover notches, work the wheel cover away from the wheel to remove it complete-
ly.
CAUTIONl Removing the cover with your hands may
cause injury to the fingers.NOTEl The wheel cover is made of plastic. Pry it
loose carefully.
How to change a tyre
8-19OGAE15E5For emergencies8

CAUTIONlAvoid the combined use of different types of
tyres.
Using different types of tyres can affect ve-
hicle performance and safety.Snow tyres
E01002001852
The use of snow tyres is recommended for
driving on snow and ice. To preserve driving stability, mount snow tyres of the same size and tread pattern on all 4 wheels.
A snow tyre that is worn down more than
50% is no longer appropriate to use.
Snow tyres which do not meet specifications must not be used.
CAUTIONl Observe permissible maximum speed for
your snow tyres and the legal speed limit.
l As your vehicle is equipped with a tyre pres-
sure monitoring system, only MITSUBISHI
MOTORS genuine wheels should be used.
Use of another type of wheel risks air leaks and sensor damage, as it will not be possible
to install the tyre inflation pressure sensors
properly.
Refer to “Tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)*” on page 6-59.NOTEl The laws and regulations concerning snow
tyres (driving speed, required use, type, etc.)
vary. Find out and follow the laws and regu- lations in the area you intend to drive.
l If flange nuts are used on your vehicle,
change to tapered nuts when steel wheels are used.Tyre chains
E01002103121
If tyre chains have to be used, ensure that
they are fitted only on the drive wheels
(front) in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
On 4WD vehicles in which the driving power
is distributed preferentially to the front wheels, ensure that the tyre chains are fitted on the front.
Use only tyre chains which are designed for use with the tyres mounted on the vehicle: use of the incorrect size or type of chain
could result in damage to the vehicle body.
Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point before putting on tyre chains. The max. chain height is as follows.
Tyre sizeWheel sizeMax. chain
height [mm]215/70R16
215/65R1616 x 6 1/2 J
9 mm
215/60R1717 x 6 1/2 J225/55R18 *18 x 7 J*
: Except for vehicles for Russia, Kazakh-
stan and UkraineCAUTIONl For vehicles for Russia, Kazakhstan and Uk-
raine that are equipped with the 18 inch tyre, chains cannot be used. There is an insuffi-
cient gap between the chains and the body, so the vehicle could be damaged.
When driving with tyre chains on the tyres,
do not drive faster than 50 km/h (30 mph) .
When you reach roads that are not covered in snow, immediately remove the tyre chains.
CAUTIONl Practice fitting the chains before you need
them. Don’t expect help from other people
in the cold.
l Choose a clear straight stretch of road where
you can pull over and still be seen while you are fitting the chains.
