WA R N I N G The compact spare wheel (if so equipped) does not have a tire inflation pressure sen-sor.When the spare tire is used, the tire pres- sure monitoring system will not work properly.See an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon as possible to replace or repair the original tire.NOTE
The tire pressure monitoring system is not a substitute for regularly
checking tire infla-
tion pressures. Be sure to check the tire inflation pressuresas described in “Tires” on page 9-12. The tire inflation pressure sensor (A) is installed in the illustrated location. • On vehicles with Type
1 sensor which has
the metallic air valve (B), replace grommet and washer (C) with a new one when the tire is replaced. • On vehicles with Type

Before changing a tire, 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 equipped with manual trans- axle, stop the engine and move the gear-shift lever to the “R” (Reverse) position. On vehicles equippe
d with continuously
variable transmissi
on (CVT), move the
selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position, and stop the engine. 4. Turn on the hazard flashers and set up awarning triangle, flas
hing signal light,
etc., at an adequate distance from the vehicle, and have a
ll your passengers exit
the vehicle. 5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling whenit is raised on the jack, place chocks or blocks (A) at the tire
that is diagonally
opposite from the tire (B) you are chang-ing.
NOTE
If the tire pressure has dropped below the specified level when you check it at the end of the repair procedure, do not drive the vehicle any further.
Contact an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility
of your choice. In cold conditions (when the ambient tem- perature is 32 °F {0 °C} or lower), the time and driving distance
required until comple-
tion of the repair can become longer than in warmer conditions, and th
e tire pressure may
drop below the specified level even after youhave inflated the tire
the second time and
subsequently driven the
vehicle. If this hap-
pens, inflate the tire to the specified pressureonce more, drive for about 10 minutes or 3 miles (5 km), then check the tire pressure again. If the tire pressure has again droppedbelow the specified level, stop driving the vehicle and cont
act an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice.
