NOTE
If the sensor or its surrounding area becomes extremely high temperature when parking the vehicle under a bl
azing sun, the “LDW

WA R N I N G The compact spare whee
l does not have a
tire inflation pressure sensor.When the spare tire is used, the tire pres- sure monitoring system will not work properly.See an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon as possible to replace or repair the original tire.
NOTE
The tire pressure monitoring system is not a substitute for regularly
checking tire infla-
tion pressures.Be sure to check the tire inflation pressures as described in “Tires” on page 9-15. The tire inflation pressure sensor (B) is installed in the illustrated location. • On vehicles with Type 1 sensor which has the metallic air valve (C), replace grommet and washer (D) with the new ones when thetire is replaced. • On vehicles with Type 2 sensor which has the rubber air valve (E
), replace rubber air

Tread wear indicators are built into the origi- nal equipment tires on your vehicle to helpyou know when your tires should be replaced. Many states have la
ws requiring that you
replace your tires at this point.These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves and will appear when the tire tread is worn down to 1/16 inch (1.6mm). When the bands appear next to one another in two or more places
, replace your tires.

To even out the wear on your tires and make them last longer, Mitsubishi Motors Corpora- tion recommends that you rotate your tires atthe mileage listed in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”. However, the timing for tire rotation mayvary according to your vehicle condition, road surface conditions, and your own per- sonal driving habits. Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate your
tires as soon as pos-
sible. When rotating tires, check for uneven wear, damage, and wheel al
ignment. Abnormal
wear is usually caused by a wrong tire pres- sure, wheels that are not aligned properly,wheels that are out-of-balance, or severe braking. Check with an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a repair fac
ility of your choice to
find out the reason for uneven tread wear. The first tire rotation is the most important one. It will allow all your tires to wear evenly.

Tire rotation
CAUTION A compact spare tire can be installed tempo- rarily in place of a tire
that has been removed
during the tire rotation. However, it must notbe included in the re
gular tire rotation
sequence. If the tires have arrows (A) indicating the correct direction of rotation, swap the front and rear tires on the left-hand side of thevehicle and the front and rear tires on theright-hand side of th
e vehicle separately.
Keep each tire on its original side of the vehicle. When installing the tires, make surethe arrows point in the direction in which the wheels will turn when the vehicle moves for- ward. Any tire whose arrow points in thewrong direction will not
perform to its full
potential.
