6. Get the jack, bar and wheel nut wrench ready.(Refer to “Jack and t
ools” on page 8-5.)

The compact spare tire is stowed below the luggage compartment fl
oor. It is designed to
save space in the luggage compartment. Itslighter weight makes it easier to use if a flat tire occurs.
WA R N I N G Be sure to apply choc
ks or blocks to the
correct tire when jacking up the vehicle. Ifthe vehicle moves while jacked up, the jack could slip out of
position, leading to
an accident.NOTE
The chocks shown in the illustration do not come with your vehicl
e. It is recommended
that you purchase chocks or blocks and keep them in the vehicle for use if needed. If chocks or blocks
are not available, use
stones or any other obj
ects that are large
enough to hold the wheel in position.
Spare tire information Compact spare tire
WA R N I N G Tires, including spar
e tire, degrade over
time with age even when they are not being used. It is recommended that tiresover 6 years generally
be replaced even if
damage is not obvious.CAUTION While the compact spare tire is stowed, the inflation pressure shoul
d be checked at least
once a month to assure that it remains at the recommended inflation pressure. See the tire and loading informati
on placard attached to
the driver’s door sill. Refer to “Tire and load-ing information placard” on page 11-3.
Driving with an imprope
rly inflated tire can
cause an accident. If
you have no choice but
to drive with an under-inflated tire, keepyour speed down and avoid sudden steering or braking, if possible. Inflate the tire to the correct pressure as s
oon as possible. Refer to
“Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-18. The compact spare tire should be used only temporarily. While the compact spare tire is being used, the tire pr
essure monitoring sys-
tem will not function pr
operly. Have the tire
replaced or repaired at an authorized Mit- subishi Motors dealer or
a repair facility of
your choice as soon as possible. Do not go over 50 mph (80 km/h) when driv- ing with the compact spare tire. Avoid sudden starting and braking when driving with the compact spare tire. Do not drive through automatic car washes and over obstacles that
could possibly dam-
age the underside of your vehicle. Because the compact spare tire is smaller than the original tire, there is less clearance betweenthe ground and your vehicle. Because the compact spare tire is designed only for your vehicle, do not use it on any other vehicle. Do not put the compact spare tire on a differ- ent wheel, and do not put standard tires, snow tires, wheel covers
or trim rings on the
compact spare wheel. Otherwise, you could damage these parts or other parts on your vehicle.CAUTION

3. Rotate the jack by hand until the flange portion (B) fits in the groove (C) at the top of the jack. 4. Insert the bar (D) into the wheel nut wrench (E). Then put the end of the bar into the shaft’s jack end, as shown in the illustration.Slowly rotate the wheel nut wrench until the tire is raised slightly off the ground surface.
WA R N I N G Set the jack only at
the positions shown
here. If the jack is se
t at a wrong position,
it could dent your vehicle or the jack might fall over and ca
use personal injury.
Do not use the jack on a tilted or soft sur- face. Otherwise, the jack might slip and causepersonal injury. Always
use the jack on a
flat, hard surface. Before setting the jack, make sure there are no sand or pebblesunder the jack base.NOTE
Put the spare wheel under the vehicle body near the jack. This makes it safer if the jack slips out of position.
WA R N I N G Stop jacking up the ve
hicle as soon as the
tire is raised off the ground. It is danger-ous to raise the ve
hicle any higher.
Do not get under your vehicle while using the jack. Do not bump the raised
vehicle or leave it
sitting on the jack for a long time. Both are very dangerous. Do not use a jack except the one that came with your vehicle. The jack should not
be used for any pur-
pose other than to change a tire. No one should be
in your vehicle when
using the jack. Do not start or run
the engine while your
vehicle is on the jack. Do not turn the raised wheel. The tires that are still on the ground could turn and make your vehicle fall off the jack.

This mark appears on the top of the oil con- tainer and tells you two important thingsabout the oil. Use engine oil with the proper thickness for the outdoor temperatures where you will bedriving.

The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but this
does not indicate any
abnormality. If the fluid level falls sealed tight in a short length of time, it indi
cates leaks from the
brake system. If this occurs, have the vehicle checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility
of your choice.
Use the recommended brake fluid conform- ing to DOT 3 or DOT 4. The reservoir cap must be tightly sealed to keep dirt and water out.

The condition of the battery is very importantfor quick starting and to keep the vehicle’selectrical system work
ing properly. Check the
battery regularly. If battery performance is suspect, have the battery and charging system tested by anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
The electrolyte level
must be between the
limits shown on the outside of the battery. Fillit with distilled water as needed. The inside of the battery is divided into several compart- ments. Take the cap off of each compartmentand fill to the mark. Do not fill above the top line because a spill during driving could cause damage. The battery is weaker in cold temperatures. This has to do with it
s chemical and physical
properties and is why a very cold battery, especially one with a low charge, will have a hard time starting your vehicle.It is recommended th
at you have your battery
and charging system checked by an autho- rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair
Fluid type
CAUTION Do not let any petrol
eum-based fluid touch,
mix with, or get into
the brake fluid. This
will damage the seals. Be careful when handli
ng brake fluid. It can
damage painted surfaces. Use only the listed brak
e fluid. Different
brands of brake fluid
have different addi-
tives, and these can cause a chemical reac- tion. Do not mix brands of brake fluid. Keep the reservoir ta
nk cap closed to keep
the brake fluid from evaporating.

NOTE
After replacing the battery, the electronic control system data for the automatic trans-axle, etc., will be erased.As a result, shifting may be rough. Shifting will become
smoother after several
changes in speed.

there are other parts which do not usually need regular maintenance.But, if any of these parts stops working prop- erly, your vehicle performance could suffer. Have these items ch
ecked if you notice a
problem with them. If you have any questions, see your autho- rized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer for assistance.

Good brakes are essential for safe driving. Check the brake pads for wear. For goodbraking performance, re
place the brake pads
with the same type pads as the originals.
N00941700076
Brake hoses and tubing should be checkedfor: Severe surface cracking, scuffing or worn spots. If the fabric casing of the hose isshowing through any cracks or worn spots in the rubber hose cover, the hose should be replaced. The brakes can fail if thehose wears through. Improper installation
may cause twisting,
or wheel, tire or chassis interference.

The best way to keep carbon monoxide gas from entering inside your
vehicle is to have
the engine exhaust syst
em properly serviced.
Have a competent mechanic inspect the com- plete exhaust
system and nearby body areas
for broken, damaged, de
teriorated, or mispo-
sitioned parts if you not
ice any of the follow-
ing: A change in the sound of the exhaust sys- tem The smell of exhaust fumes inside the vehicle
The underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged
Also check the exhaust system each time the vehicle is raised for l
ubrication, oil changes,
or required service. Any open seams or loose connections could le
t dangerous exhaust
fumes seep into the luggage and passenger compartments. Check for holes or exhaust gas leaks caused by corrosion or damage. Check the joints and connections for looseness or exhaust gas leaks. Check the rubber hangers and brackets for damage.

The timing belt should
be replaced with a
new one at the mileage listed in the “WAR- RANTY AND MAINTENANCE MAN-UAL”.
