wheel drive vehicles E00606801844
Tyres and wheels
Since the driving torque can be applied to the
4 wheels, the driving performance of the ve- hicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is
greatly affected by the condition of the tyres.

Pay close attention to the tyres.
l Install only the specified tyres on all
wheels. Refer to “Tyres and wheels” on page 12-08.
l Be sure all 4 tyres and wheels are the
same size and type.
When it is necessary to replace any of
the tyres or wheels, replace all 4 tyres.
l All tyres should be rotated before the
wear difference between the front and
rear tyres is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expec- ted if there is a difference in wear between tyres. Refer to “Tyre rotation” on page 11-11.
l Check the tyre inflation pressure regular-
ly.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.
Towing
CAUTIONl Do not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with the
front or rear wheels on the ground (Type Aor Type B) as illustrated. This could result in
damage to the drivetrain, or unstable towing. If you tow 4-wheel drive vehicles, use Type
C or Type D equipment.
Jacking up a 4-wheel drive ve-
hicle
WARNINGl Do not turn on the Plug-in Hybrid EV
System or turn a jacked-up wheel whenthe vehicle is jacked up. The tyre in con-
tact with the ground may turn and the ve- hicle may come off the jack, possibly lead-
ing to an accident. Besides, do not touch
the high-voltage area.Battery save switch
E00636800051
The remaining quantity of the drive battery
can be kept if you drive in the EV driving mode at a residential area or use electric
power at the destination.
Moreover, the electric power consumption of
the drive battery can also be held down by
pressing the battery save switch while high- speed driving.

nuts make light contact with the wheel
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).

WARNINGlIf it is necessary to do work in the engine
compartment with the plug-in hybrid EV
system starting, be especially careful that
your clothing, hair, etc., does not become caught by the cooling fans, drive belts, orother moving parts.
l The cooling fans can turn on automatical-
ly even if the plug-in hybrid EV system is
stopping. Put the operation mode of the
power switch in OFF to be safe while you work in the engine compartment.
l Make sure that the engine and Plug-in
Hybrid EV system has cooled down be- fore removing the radiator cap and EV
cooling system reserve tank cap, because hot steam or boiling water will otherwise
gush from the filler port and may scald you.
l Do not smoke, cause sparks or allow open
flames around fuel or auxiliary battery.
The fumes are flammable.
l Be extremely cautious when working
around the auxiliary battery. It contains
poisonous and corrosive sulphuric acid.
l Do not get under your vehicle with just
the body jack supporting it. Always use automotive jack stands.
l Improper handling of components and
materials used in the vehicle can endangeryour personal safety. We recommend you to consult a specialist for necessary infor-
mation.WARNINGl The components inside the engine room
might be very hot to the touch.
To avoid being burnt, make sure all com- ponents have sufficiently cooled before beginning an inspection. These compo-
nents are affixed with the label indicating precautions for handling. Follow the in-structions on the label.

Catalytic converter
E01000202495
The exhaust gas scavenging devices used with the catalytic converter are extremely ef- ficient for the reduction of noxious gases.
The catalytic converter is installed in the ex- haust system.
It is important to keep the engine properly
tuned to ensure proper catalyst operation and prevent possible catalyst damage.WARNINGl As with any vehicle, do not park or oper-
ate this vehicle in areas where combusti- ble materials such as dry grass or leaves
can come in contact with a hot exhaust
since a fire could occur.
l Paint should not be applied to the catalyt-
ic converter.NOTEl Use fuel of the type recommended in
“Fuel
selection” on page 2-13.

CAUTIONlBe careful that hands or fingers are not trap-
ped when closing the bonnet.
l Before driving, make sure that the bonnet is
securely locked. An incompletely locked bonnet can suddenly open while driving.
This can be extremely dangerous.NOTEl If this does not close the bonnet, release it
from a slightly higher position.
l Do not press down firmly on the bonnet as
doing so could damage it.
l For vehicles equipped with the security
alarm system, if you drive with the bonnet left open, a warning display is displayed on the information screen in the multi informa-tion display.Engine oil
E01000404462
To check and refill engine oil
The engine oil used has a significant effect on the engine’s performance, service life and
startability. Be sure to use oil of the recom- mended quality and appropriate viscosity.
All engines consume a certain amount of oil during normal operation. Therefore, it is im-portant to check the oil level at regular inter-
vals or before starting a long trip. 1. Park the vehicle on a horizontal surface.
2. Switch off the engine.
3. Wait a few minutes.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a
clean cloth.
5. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes.
6. Remove the dipstick and read the oil lev-
el, which should always be within the
range indicated.
7. If the oil level is below the specified
limit, remove the cap located on the cyl-inder head cover and add enough oil to
raise the level to within the specified
range. Do not overfill to avoid engine
damage. Be sure to use the specified en- gine oil and do not mix various types of
oil.
8. After adding oil, close the cap securely.
9. Confirm the oil level by repeating step 4
to 6.NOTEl The engine oil will deteriorate rapidly if the
vehicle is subjected to severe conditions, re-
quiring earlier oil replacement.
Please refer to the maintenance schedule.
l For information on how to dispose of used
engine oil, refer to page 2-17.

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.
