5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling
when it is raised on the jack, place
chocks or blocks (A) in front of and be- hind the tyre that is diagonally opposite
from the tyre (B) you are changing.
WARNINGl Be 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 or blocks are not available, use
stones or any other objects that are large enough to hold the wheel in position.

Spare wheel information*
E00803601843
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 beneath the lug-
gage floor board of the luggage compartment.
CAUTIONl The 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 inflate the tyre to the correct pressure as soon as
possible. (Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures”
on page 10-13.)
l When the tread wear indicators appear, the
tyre must be replaced.
Refer to “Wheel condition” on page 10-14.

Temporary spare wheel (spare
wheel with a speed limit label)*
The T155/90D16 size spare wheel is stored
beneath the luggage floor board of the lug-
gage compartment. It is designed to save
space in the luggage compartment and its light weight makes it easy to handle in the event of a flat tyre.
CAUTIONl The temporary spare wheel is for temporary
use only and should be removed as soon as
the original wheel can be repaired or re- placed. (For vehicles that are equipped with a tyre pressure monitoring system, while the
temporary spare wheel is being used, the
tyre pressure monitoring system will not
function properly.)
l The vehicle must not be driven at speeds in
excess of 80 km/h (50 mph) while using the temporary spare wheel.
l The
T155/90D16 size spare wheel is not as
good as a standard wheel in controllability and stability. When the temporary spare
wheel is used, avoid quick starts, sudden braking and sharp steering.
The tyre size of the 215/65R16 size tempo-
rary spare tyre is different from that of the standard tyre. When the temporary spare
tyre is used, avoid quick starts, sudden brak- ing and sharp steering.CAUTIONl The temporary spare wheel is specifically
designed for your vehicle and it should not
be used on any other vehicle.
When you purchase a 215/65R16 size spare
wheel, be sure to purchase the type designed
specially for your vehicle from your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
l Do not use tyre chains with your temporary
spare wheel. Because of the smaller tyresize, a tyre chain will not fit properly. This
could cause damage to the wheel and result in loss of the chain.
If a front tyre becomes flat when using tyre
chains, first replace a rear wheel with the temporary spare wheel and then use the re-
moved rear wheel to replace the flat front
wheel so that you can continue to use the chains.CAUTIONl Upon installation of the
T155/90D16 size
spare wheel, the ground clearance is reduced as the tyre is smaller in diameter than thestandard tyre.
When passing over the projections on the road, take care not to damage the vehicle’s
undercarriage.
l Do not install more than one temporary
spare wheel at the same time.To remove the spare wheel
E00803301185
1. Lift up the luggage floor board.
2. To remove the spare wheel, remove the
spare tyre pad (A), and then remove the
installation clamp (B) by turning it anti-
clockwise.

E00803202295
1. If a wheel cover is installed, first remove
the cover. (Refer to “Wheel covers”.)
Then loosen the wheel nuts a quarter
turn with the wheel nut wrench. Do not remove the wheel nuts yet.
2. Place the jack under one of the jacking
points (A) shown in the illustration. Use
the jacking point closest to the tyre you wish to change.WARNINGl Set the jack only at the positions shown
here. If the jack is set at a wrong position, it could dent your vehicle or the jack
might fall over and cause personal injury.
l Do not use the jack on a tilted or soft sur-
face.
Otherwise, the jack might slip and cause
personal injury. Always use the jack on a flat, hard surface.
Before setting the jack, make sure there
are no sand or pebbles under the jack base.3. Rotate the jack by hand until the flange
portion (B) fits in the groove (C) at the
top of the jack.
4. Check that the flange portion at the jack-
ing point fits in the groove at the top of the jack.
Insert the jack bar (D) into the wheel nut
wrench (E).
Then put the end of the jack bar into the
shaft’s jack end, as shown in the illustra- tion.

Slowly rotate the wheel nut wrench untilthe tyre is raised slightly off the ground
surface.WARNINGl Stop jacking up the vehicle as soon as the
tyre is raised off the ground. It is danger-
ous to raise the vehicle any higher.
l Do not get under your vehicle while using
the jack.
l Do not bump the raised vehicle or leave it
sitting on the jack for a long time. Both are very dangerous.
l Do not use a jack except the one that
came with your vehicle.
l The jack should not be used for any pur-
pose other than to change a tyre.
l No one should be in your vehicle when us-
ing the jack.
l Do not start or run the engine while your
vehicle is on the jack.WARNINGl Do not turn the raised wheel. The tyres
still on the ground could turn and make
your vehicle fall off the jack.
5. Remove the wheel nuts with the wheel
nut wrench, then take the wheel off.
CAUTIONl Handle the wheel carefully when changing
the tyre, to avoid scratching the wheel sur- face.
6. Clean out any mud, etc. on the hub sur-
face (F), hub bolts (G) or in the installa- tion holes (H) in the wheel, and then
mount the spare tyre.
WARNINGl Be sure to position the tyres the correct
way when putting them on the vehicle.
The valves should be on the outer side of
the vehicle. If the valve (I) cannot be seen, the tyre has been mounted the wrong wayaround.
If tyres are mounted the wrong way
around it could have a negative effect on the vehicle and cause an accident.
7. Turn the wheel nuts clockwise by hand
to initially tighten them.

[Vehicle with the tapered nuts]
Initially tighten the wheel nuts until the tapered part (A) of the nuts lightly

(Achieved by applying force of 350 to
420 N at end of wheel nut wrench sup- plied with 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.
10. If the vehicle has a wheel cover, install
it.
Refer to “Wheel covers” on page 8-20.
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.
CAUTIONl The temporary spare wheel is to be used on-
ly temporarily when the standard wheel isdamaged. Repair the damaged tyre as soon
as possible and use it to replace the tempora- ry spare tyre.
l 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 flat tyre or spare

E00901600117
The window glass can normally be cleaned
using only a sponge and water.
Glass cleaner can be used to remove oil, grease, dead insects, etc. After washing the
glass, wipe dry with a clean, dry, soft cloth. Never use a cloth that is used for cleaning a
painted surface to clean a window. Wax from
the painted surface could get on the glass and lower glass transparency and visibility.
NOTEl To clean the inside of the rear window, al-
ways use a soft cloth and wipe the window
glass along the demister heater element so as not to cause damage.Wiper blades
E00901700062

Tyre rotation
E01001901317
Tyre wear varies with vehicle conditions,
road surface conditions and individual driv-
er’s driving habits. To equalize the wear and help 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.
*- If the spare tyre wheel differs from thestandard tyre wheel, do not perform tyre rota-
tion using a spare wheel.
CAUTIONl A temporary spare tyre can be fitted tempo-
rarily in place of a tyre that has been re-
moved during the tyre rotation. However, it must not be included in the regular tyre rota-
tion sequence.
l 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 full potential.Front

CAUTIONlDo not install a tyre chain on an emergency
wheel which is compact in size. If one of thefront wheels has punctured, replace it withone of the rear wheels and install the tempo-
rary spare wheel in that place before fitting a
tyre chain.
l An aluminium wheel can be damaged by a
tyre chain while driving. When fitting a tyre
chain on an aluminium wheel, take care that any part of the chain and fitting cannot be
brought into contact with the wheel.
l Remove the wheel covers before installing a
tyre chain, otherwise they may be damaged
by the tyre chain. (See page 8-20.)
l When installing or removing the tyre chains,
take care that hands and other parts of your
body are not injured by the sharp edges of the vehicle body.NOTEl The laws and regulations concerning the use
of tyre chains vary. Always follow local laws and regulations.
In most countries, it is prohibited by law to
use tyre chains on roads without snow.Wiper blade rubber
