Tyre ID set change
E00637600056
In case that 2 sets of tyre inflation pressure
sensor ID are registered in the receiver, the
valid tyre ID set can be changed by following
procedure. 1. Transit the display by the button (A) un-
til the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) SET indicator is displayed.
2. Hold down the button (A) for 10 seconds or more.
(Although the reset execution starts at
holding down the button for 3 seconds,
keep holding down the button continu-
ously.)
3. The valid tyre ID set is changed, and the
number of the tyre pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) SET indicator is changed.
NOTEl Each time this procedure is done, the tyre ID
set is changed. (1 - 2 - 1 - 2 …)
l The tyre ID set is NOT changed, in case that
only 1 set of ID is registered.
l When changing the tyre ID set, the reset
function of low tyre pressure warning
threshold is automatically started. (The warning lamp start flashing slowly.) If the
tyre is warm at this time. the reset function
should be executed again when the tyre is cold.Reversing sensor system*
E00615500055
This system operates when you are backingthe vehicle. It uses corner and back sensors to detect an obstacle and sounds a buzzer to in-form you of the approximate distance to the
obstacle.
CAUTIONl The reversing sensor system assists you in
determining the approximate distance be-
tween the vehicle and an obstacle located behind the vehicle. It has limitations in terms
of detectable areas and objects, and may not
properly detect some objects. Therefore, do
not place excessive confidence in the revers- ing sensor system and operate the vehicle ascarefully as you would do with a vehicle not equipped with this system.
l Make sure to check the surroundings with
your own eyes to ensure safety. Do not oper-
ate the vehicle by relying on the reversing sensor system alone.Corner and back sensor loca-
tions
E00618500014
There are two corner sensors (A) at the cor- ners of the rear bumper, and two back sensors
(B) in the spare wheel garnish.

WARNINGlBe sure to apply chocks or blocks to the
correct tyre when jacking up the vehicle.If the vehicle moves while jacked up, the
jack could slip out of position, leading to
an accident.NOTEl The chocks shown in the illustration do not
come with your vehicle. It is recommended
that you keep one in the vehicle for use if needed.
l If chocks are not available, use stones or any
other objects that are large enough to hold the wheel in position.
6. Get the spare wheel, jack, jack handle
and wheel nut wrench ready. Refer to “Tool, jack and jack handle” on page8-07.
Spare wheel information
E00803600266
Check the air pressure of the spare tyre fre-
quently and make sure it is ready for emer-
gency use at any time.
Maintaining the spare wheel at the highest specified air pressure will ensure that it can
always be used under any conditions (city/ high-speed driving, varying load weight,etc.).
The spare wheel is stored on the outside of
the backdoor. (Refer to “To remove the spare wheel” on page 8-10).
1- Spare wheel
CAUTIONl The tyre pressure should be periodically
checked and maintained at the specified pressure while the tyre is stowed.
Driving with an insufficient tyre pressure can lead to an accident. If you have no
choice but to drive with an insufficient tyre pressure, keep your speed down and inflatethe tyre to the correct pressure as soon as
possible. (Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures”
on page 10-13.)To remove the spare wheel
E00803500177
CAUTIONl Grasp the spare wheel firmly when remov-
ing or attaching it.
l When removing the spare wheel, put on
gloves. Removing the spare wheel with your
bare hands may cause injury to the fingers.
1. Open the backdoor.

Tightening torque
105 to 125 Nm
(Achieved by applying a force of 390
to 460 N at the end of the wheel nut wrench supplied with the vehicle.)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.
12. Lower the jack all the way and remove
it.
CAUTIONl If the release valve is loosened too much (2
or more turns) in the anticlockwise direction, the jack’s oil will leak and the jack cannotbe used.CAUTIONl Close the release valve slowly when lower-
ing the vehicle, or the valve may be dam-
aged.NOTEl Occasionally when the vehicle is jacked up,
the grooved portion of the designated pointwill not come off. When this happens, rock
the vehicle to lower the ram.
l If the jack is difficult to remove by hand, in-
sert the jack handle (L) into the bracket (M).Then using the handle, remove the jack.
13. Press the piston down all the way, and
turn the release valve clockwise as far as possible.
14. Check your tyre inflation pressure at the
next gasstation. The correct pressures
are shown on the driver’s door label. See the illustration.
15. On vehicles with tyre pressure monitor-
ing system (TPMS), after filling your tyres to the correct pressure, reset the tyre pressure monitoring system(TPMS).
Refer to “Tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem (TPMS): Reset of low tyre pressure
warning threshold” on page 6-56.
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.

Avoid racing the engine or spinning thewheels. Prolonged efforts to free a stuck ve-
hicle may result in overheating, transmission and drivetrain failure. Allow the engine toidle for a few minutes to let the transmissioncool between rocking attempts.
If the vehicle remains stuck after several rocking attempts, seek other assistance.WARNINGl When attempting to rock your vehicle out
of a stuck position, be sure that the area around the vehicle is clear of people and
physical objects. The rocking motion may cause the vehicle to suddenly launch for-ward or backward, causing injury or
damage to nearby people or objects.
On a flooded road
l Avoid flooded roads. Water could enter
the brake discs, 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 tyre chains.
Refer to the “Snow tyres” and “Tyre
chains” sections.
CAUTION• Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration,
and sharp turning; such operations could cause skidding and spinouts. Also, doing so could cause damage to the drivetrain.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 brakes (ABS). As your
vehicle is equipped with ABS, brake by pressing the brake pedal hard, and keep-
ing 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 different size, type, brands or
degree of wear, will increase the differential
oil temperature, resulting in possible damage to the driving system. Further, the drive train
will be subjected to excessive loading, possi- bly leading to oil leakage, component seiz-ure, or other serious faults.Replacing tyres and wheels
E01007201530
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
11-11.
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 If 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 6-53.
Wheel balance
On vehicles equipped with 17x7 1/2J size
aluminium wheels (round rim type), if you
need to balance a wheel, put the balance weight (A) on the specified position which is
spoke side from the notch (B) on the inner surface of the wheel.
There is a possibility that the balance weight
is interfered the related brake part if it is put
any place other than the specified position.

Point.Tyre rotation
E01001901203
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.
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.Spare tyre used*Spare tyre not usedTyres that have arrows showing rotation directionFrontFrontFront*- If the spare tyre wheel differs from the standard tyre wheel, do not perform tyre rota-
tion using a spare wheel.CAUTIONl If the tyres have arrows (A) indicating the
correct direction of rotation, swap the front and rear wheels on the left hand side of the
vehicle and the front and rear wheels 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 full potential.Front

Using different types of tyres can affect ve-
hicle performance and safety.Snow tyres
E01002001894
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.
Snow tyres worn more than 50% are no lon-
ger suitable for use as snow tyres.
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 If 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 6-53.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
E01002101794
On 4WD vehicles in which the driving power
is distributed preferentially to the rear wheels, ensure that the tyre chains are fitted
on the rear in accordance with the manufac- turer’s instructions.
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.
Before fitting tyre chains, we recommend you to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point. The max. chain
height is as follows.
Tyre sizeWheel size

Max. chainheight[mm]265/60R18 110H18 x 7 1/2 J22
The speed limit for tyre chain is 50 km/h(30 mph) and remove the tyre chains as soon as possible on snow free roads.
CAUTIONl As your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock
brake system (ABS), in order to ensure that the anti-lock brake system (ABS) will oper- ate correctly in situations where tyre chains
have been fitted, drive in “4H”, “4HLc” or “4LLc”.
l 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.
l Do not fit chains before you need them. This
will wear out your tyres and the road sur-
face.
l After driving around 100-300 metres, stop
and retighten the chains.
l Drive carefully and do not exceed 50 km/h
(30 mph). Remember, fitting chains is notgoing to stop accidents from happening.
