5. Remove the wheel nuts with the wheel nut wrench, then take the wheel off. 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 tire.
7. Turn the wheel nut clockwise by hand to initially tighten them. [Type 1: On vehicles
with steel wheels]
Temporarily tighten the wheel nuts by hand until the tapered parts of the wheel nuts make light contac
t with the seats of
the wheel holes and the wheel is not loose. [Type 2: On vehicles with aluminiumwheels] Temporarily tighten the wheel nuts by hand until the flange parts of the wheelnuts make light cont
act with the wheel
and the wheel is not loose.
CAUTION Handle the wheel carefully when changing the tire, to avoid scratching the wheel sur- face.WA R N I N G Mount the spare wheel with the valve stem (I) facing outward. If
you cannot see the
valve stem (I), you
have installed the
wheel backwards.Operating the vehicle with the spare wheel installed backwards can cause vehicle damage and result
in an ac
cident.
NOTE
Flange nuts can be te
mporarily used on the
compact spare wheel as shown in the illustra- tion, but return to the original wheel and tire as soon as possible.CAUTION Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts or the nuts or they will tighten too much.

It is important to famil
iarize yourself with the
following terms: Cold tire pressure: • The measured pressu
re after the vehicle
has been parked for at least three hours, or• The measured pressure when the vehicle is driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after having been parked for three hours.
Maximum pressure: the maximum per- missible cold tire inflation pressure for this tire.
Recommended inflation pressure: the inflation pressure for optimum tire perfor-mance. Intended outboard sidewall: • The sidewall that
contains a whitewall,
bears white lettering or bears manufac- turer, brand, and/or model name molding that is higher or deeper than the samemolding on the other sidewall of the tire, or • The outward facing sidewall of an asym- metrical tire that has a particular side that must always face outward whenmounted on a vehicle.
Passenger car tire: a tire intended for use on passenger cars,
multipurpose passen-
ger vehicles, and trucks
that have a gross
vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 10,000 pounds or less. Light truck (LT) tire
: a tire designated by
its manufacturer as primarily intended for use on lightweight tr
ucks or multipurpose
passenger vehicles. Tread: portion of a tire that comes into contact with the road. Tread rib: a tread se
ction running circum-
ferentially around a tire. Tread separation: pulling away of the tread from the tire carcass. Carcass: the tire structure, except tread and sidewall rubber which, when inflated,bears the load.
Sidewall: portion of
a tire between the
tread and bead. Section width: the lin
ear distance between
the exteriors of th
e sidewalls of an
inflated tire, excluding elevations due tolabeling, decoration,
or protective bands.
Bead: the part of the tire that is made of steel wires, wrapped or reinforced by plycords and that is shaped to fit the rim. Ply: a layer of r
ubber-coated parallel
cords. Cord: the strands forming the plies in the tire. Rim: a metal support for a tire or a tire and tube assembly upon which the tire beads are seated. Rim diameter: nominal diameter of the bead seat. Groove: the space between two adjacent tread ribs.
Tires
WA R N I N G Driving with tires that are worn, damaged or improperly infl
ated is dangerous.
These type tire conditions will adversely affect vehicle performance. These type tire conditions can also cause atread separation or blowout which may result in an accident causing serious injury or death. Tires, including spar
e tire, degrade over
time with age even when they are notbeing used. It is recommended that tires over 6 years generally be replaced
even if damage is
not obvious.

The hood lock release mechanism and hood safety catch should be
checked, cleaned, and
oiled when needed for easy movement and to prevent rust and wear. Use Multipurpose Grease NLGI Grade 2 sp
aringly for all sliding
parts of the hood latc
h and release lever.
Work the grease into the hood lock mecha- nism until all the mo
vable surfaces are cov-
ered. Also, put a light coat of the same grease onthe safety catch wherever moving parts touch.

The ventilation slots in front of the wind-shield should be brus
hed clear after a heavy
snowfall so that the operation of the heating and ventilation systems
will not be impaired.
To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping on the doors, engine hood, etc., they should be treated with silicone grease. It is a good idea to carry a shovel or a short- handled spade in the vehicle during the win-ter so that you can clear away snow if you get stranded. A small hand-brush for sweeping snow off the vehicle a
nd a plastic scraper for
the windshield, side an
d rear window are also
useful.

The fusible links will melt to prevent a fire ifa large current attempts
to flow through cer-
tain electrical systems.In case of a melted fusible link, see your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice for inspection
and replacement. For the fusible links, pl
ease refer to “Fuse
load capacities” on page 9-26.

To prevent damage to the electrical systemfrom short-circuiting
or overloading, each
individual circuit is e
quipped with a fuse. The
fuse blocks are located in the passenger com- partment and in the engine compartment. The fuse blocks in the passenger compart- ment are located behind the fuse lid in frontof the driver’s seat at the position shown in the illustration. Pull the fuse lid to remove it.

1. To maintain the value of your new vehi- cle, maintain the upholstery carefully andkeep the interior clean. Use a vacuum cleaner
and brush to clean
the seats. If stained,
vinyl and synthetic
leather should be clea
ned with an appro-
priate cleaner. Cloth fabrics can be cleaned with either
upholstery cleaner or a
3% solution of gentle soap in lukewarm water. 2. Clean the carpeting with a vacuumcleaner and remove a
ny stains with carpet
cleaner. Oil and grea
se can be removed by
lightly dabbing with a clean white clothand spot remover.
N00945600187
1. To clean, lightly wipe the leather with a soft cloth soaked in a 5% solution of gen- tle soap and water.2. To rinse, dip the cloth in fresh water, wring it out well, a
nd wipe off all the
soap.3. To preserve and protect, use a leather pro- tecting agent on the genuine leather sur- face.
N00945700058
To protect your vehicle’s finish, wash it oftenand thoroughly. If desired, you may wax your vehicle using a nonabra
sive automobile wax.
N00945800033
Industrial pollution, road tar, bird droppings, tree sap, insect remain
s, sea water and other
foreign matters
can damage the finish on your
vehicle. Generally, the longer
any foreign material
stays on the finish, the worse the damage.Wash your vehicle as soon as possible when- ever the finish gets soiled.
NOTE
Do not use cleaners, conditioners, and pro- tectants containing silicones or wax.Such products, when applied to the instru-ment panels or other pa
rts, may cause reflec-
tions on the windshield and obscure vision. Also, if such products
get on the switches of
the electrical accessories, it may lead to fail- ure of these accessories.
Upholstery
NOTE
If fuzzing is difficult to remove from the seat upholstery, draw a suit
able defuzzing brush
over the surface in one direction.
Genuine leather
(if so equipped)
NOTE
If genuine leather is we
t with water, wipe it
with a dry, soft cloth. If left damp, mildew may grow. The genuine leather su
rface can be damaged
if brushed with a nylon or synthetic fiberbrush. Organic solvents such as benzine, kerosene, alcohol, gasoline, or acid
or alkaline solvents
can discolor the genuine
leather surface and
should not be used. Genuine leather can
mildew if not kept
clean. Clean up any oi
l stains immediately.
The genuine leather su
rface may harden and
shrink if it is exposed to the direct sunlightfor long hours. When your vehicle is parked,place it in the shade as much as possible. When the temperature of the vehicle interior rises in summer, vinyl
products left on the
genuine leather seat
may deteriorate and
stick to the seat.
