and the wheel is not loose.Type 1Type 2
CAUTIONl Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts or
the nuts, or they will tighten too much.NOTEl On vehicles with aluminium wheels, if all 4
aluminium wheels are changed to steel wheels. e. g. when fitting winter tyres, use
tapered nuts.8. Lower the vehicle slowly by rotating the
wheel nut wrench anticlockwise until the
tyre touches the ground.
9. Tighten the nuts in the order shown in
the illustration until each nut has been tightened to the torque listed here.
Tightening torque 88 to 108 N•m
CAUTIONl Never use your foot or a pipe extension for
extra force in the wheel nut wrench. If you
do so, you will tighten the nut too much.
10. On vehicles with wheel covers, install
the covers (refer to “Wheel covers” on
page 9-17).
11. Lower and remove the jack, then store
the jack, flat tyre, and chocks. Have your
damaged tyre repaired as soon as possi- ble.
12. Check your tyre inflation pressure at the
next gasstation. The correct tyre pres-
sures are shown on the driver’s door la- bel. See the illustration.
13. After filling your tyres to the correct
pressure, reset the tyre pressure monitor-
ing system (TPMS).
How to change a tyre
9-16OGGE16E1For emergencies9

Refer to “Tyre pressure monitoring sys-tem (TPMS): Reset of low tyre pressure
warning threshold” on page 7-75.CAUTIONl 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 tools and jack

Wheel covers*
E00801300735
To remove
Wrap the tip of the jack bar with a cloth, in- sert it 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.To install
1. Make sure the tabs (A) of the back of the
wheel cover are not broken and correctly fitted on the rings (B). If in doubt, do not install the wheel cover and consult your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
2. Align the air valve (C) of the tyre with
the notch (D) in the wheel cover.

WARNINGlWhen trying to rock your vehicle out of a
stuck position, make sure that there are
no people nearby. The rocking motion can make your vehicle suddenly lurch for-
ward or backward, and injure any by- standers.
On a flooded road
l Do not drive on a flooded road. If you
drive on a flooded road, not only does the Plugin Hybrid EV System stop but
there may be a failure like electric leak- age or short circuit.
If you inevitably had to run on a flooded
road and the vehicle was exposed to wa- ter, be sure to have your vehicle inspec-
ted by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
l If there is water on the brakes after driv-
ing through puddles or washing the vehi- cle, resulting in temporarily ineffective
brakes. In such cases, lightly depress the brake pedal to see if the brakes operate
properly. If they do not, lightly depress the pedal several times while driving in
order to dry the brake pads.
l When driving in rain or on a road with
many puddles a layer of water may form
between the tyres and the road surface.
This reduces a tyre’s frictional resistance
on the road, resulting in loss of steering stability and braking capability.
To cope with this, observe the following
items: A- Drive your vehicle at slow speed.B- Do not drive on worn tyres.
C- Always maintain the specified tyre
inflation pressures.
On a snow-covered or frozen road
l When driving on a snow-covered or fro-
zen road, it is recommended that you use snow tyres or snow traction device (tyre chains).
Refer to the “Snow tyres” and “Snow
traction device (tyre chains)” sections.
l Avoid high-speed operation, sudden ac-
celeration, abrupt brake application and
sharp cornering.
l Depressing the brake pedal during travel
on snowy or icy roads may cause tyre
slippage and skidding. When traction be-
tween the tyres and the road is reduced the wheels may skid and the vehicle can-
not readily be brought to a stop by con- ventional braking techniques. Brakingwill differ, depending upon whether you
have anti-lock brake system (ABS). As your vehicle is equipped with ABS,brake by pressing the brake pedal hard,
and keeping it pressed.
l Allow extra distance between your vehi-
cle and the vehicle in front of you, and avoid sudden braking.
l Accumulation of ice on the braking sys-
tem can cause the wheels to lock. Pullaway from a standstill slowly after con-
firming safety around the vehicle.CAUTIONl Do not press the accelerator pedal rapidly. If
the wheels break free of the ice, the vehicle
could suddenly start moving and possibly cause an accident.
On a bumpy or rutted road
Drive as slow as possible when driving on
bumpy or rutted roads.

1- Location of the tread wear indicator
2- Tread wear indicator
Check the tyres for cuts, cracks and other damage. Replace the tyres if there are deep
cuts or cracks. Also check each tyre for pieces of metal or pebbles.
The use of worn tyres can be very dangerous
because of the greater chance of skidding or
hydroplaning. The tread depth of the tyres
must exceed 1.6 mm in order for the tyres to meet the minimum requirement for use.
Tread wear indicators will appear on the sur-
face of the tyre as the tyre wears, thereby in-
dicating that the tyre no longer meets the
minimum requirement for use. When these wear indicators appear, the tyres must be re-
placed with new ones.
When replacement of any of the tyres is nec-
essary, replace all of them.CAUTIONl Always use tyres of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no wear differences. Using tyres of differentsize, type, brands or degree of wear, will in-
crease the differential oil temperature, result-
ing in possible damage to the driving sys-
tem. Further, the drive train will be subjec- ted to excessive loading, possibly leading tooil leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous faults.Replacing tyres and wheels
E01007201569
CAUTIONl Avoid using different size tyres from the one
listed and the combined use of different
types of tyres, as this can affect driving safe- ty.
Refer to “Tyres and wheels” on page
12-08.
l Even if a wheel has the same rim size and
offset as the specified type of wheel, its
shape may prevent it from being fitted cor- rectly. We recommend you to consult a spe-
cialist before using wheels that you have.CAUTIONl 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 pressure sensor properly.
Refer to “Tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS)” on page 7-72.Tyre rotation
E01001902516
Tyre wear varies with vehicle conditions,
road surface conditions and individual driv- er’s driving habits. To equalize the wear andhelp extend tyre life, it is recommended to ro-
tate the tyres immediately after discovery of
abnormal wear, or whenever the wear differ- ence between the front and rear tyres is rec-
ognizable.
Tyres
11-11OGGE16E1Maintenance11

When rotating tyres, check for uneven wear
and damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused by incorrect tyre pressure, improper wheel alignment, out of balance wheel, or se-
vere braking. We recommend you to have it checked to determine the cause of irregular
tread wear.CAUTIONl If the tyres have arrows (A) indicating the
correct direction of rotation, swap the front
and rear tyres on the left-hand side of the ve- hicle and the front and rear tyres on the right-hand side of the vehicle separately.
Keep each tyre on its original side of the ve- hicle. When fitting the tyres, make sure the
arrows point in the direction in which the wheels will turn when the vehicle moves
forward. Any tyre whose arrow points in the wrong direction will not perform to its fullpotential.Front
CAUTIONl Avoid the combined use of different types of
tyres.
Using different types of tyres can affect ve-
hicle performance and safety.Snow tyres
E01002001979
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 pressure sensor properly.
Refer to “Tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS)” on page 7-72.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.
