CAUTIONlNever 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. Lower and remove the jack, then store
the jack, flat tyre, and chocks. Have your
damaged tyre repaired as soon as possi- ble.
11. 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.
12. After filling your tyres to the correct
pressure, reset the tyre pressure monitor-
ing system (TPMS).
Refer to “Tyre pressure monitoring sys- tem (TPMS): Reset of low tyre pressure
warning threshold” on page 7-93.
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

ing the jack, jack bar and wheel nut wrench.

Towing
E00801504953
If your vehicle needs to be tow-
ed
If you need to tow your vehicle, we recom- mend that you contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or a
commercial tow truck service.
Transport the vehicle on a flatbed truck or
tow the vehicle with all wheels off the
ground.
In the following cases, contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point and transport the vehicle with all wheels on a carriage.
l The ready indicator illuminates but the
vehicle does not move, or an abnormal
noise is produced.
l A warning lamp in the meter illuminates.
l Inspection of the vehicle’s underside re-
veals that oil or some other fluid is leak- ing.
l Your vehicle body is severely damaged
or deformed in the event of an accident.

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
E01007201761
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 7-89.NOTEl 16 inch steel wheels cannot be used on your
vehicle because they interfer with brake
parts. Additionally, 16 inch aluminium wheels may not be used on your vehicle de-
pending on there type, even in case of MITSUBISHI MOTORS Genuine wheels.
Consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point before using wheels that you have.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
11-11OGGE17E1Maintenance11
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 7-89.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.
