How to change a tyreE00801204051
Before changing a tyre, first stop your vehi- cle in a safe, flat location. 1. Park the vehicle on level and stable
ground, free of loose pebbles, etc.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. On vehicles with manual transmission,
turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK”
position or put the operation mode in
OFF, and move the gearshift lever to the
“R” (Reverse) position.
On vehicles with automatic transmis- sion, move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position, and turn the ignitionswitch to the “LOCK” position or put
the operation mode in OFF.
4. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and
set up a warning triangle, flashing signal
lamp, etc., at an adequate distance from
the vehicle, and have all your passengers
leave the vehicle.
5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling
when jacking up the vehicle, placechocks or blocks (A) at 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 are not available, use stones or any
other objects that are large enough to hold the wheel in position.
6. Get the jack, jack handle and wheel nut
wrench ready.
Refer to “Tools, jack and jack handle” on page 8-11.
Spare wheel information
E00803601801
The spare wheel is stored under the floor of
the cargo bed.
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.).
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 10-12.)To remove the spare wheel
E00803501594
1. Set the jack handle. (Club cab)
(Refer to “To use the jack handle (Clubcab)” on page 8-16.)

2.Insert the jack handle (A) in the hole (B)
below the rear gate.
3. Securely insert the pin (C) on the jack
handle into the holder (D) of the spare
wheel carrier.
4. Insert the wheel nut wrench (E) through
the end of the jack handle hole (F), and
then turn it anticlockwise to lower the
spare wheel completely to the ground
and to slack the chain.CAUTIONl When removing the spare wheel, please ob-
serve the followings.
If you do not follow them, it could result in
break the spare wheel carrier.
• Do not use a power tool. Use the wheel
nut wrench stowed on the vehicle.
• Do not apply a force of 400 N or more at
the end of the wheel nut wrench.
5. Remove the hanger disc (G) from the
spare wheel.
NOTEl Put the spare wheel under the vehicle body
near the flat tyre. This makes it safer if the jack slips out of position.

Tightening torqueSteel wheel: 137 to 157 N•m
Aluminium wheel: 118 to 137 N•m
(Achieved by applying a force at the end of the wheel nut wrench supplied
with the vehicle.
Steel wheel: 510 to 580 N
Aluminium wheel: 440 to 500 N)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.
11. 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 cannot
be used.
l 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 (M) into the bracket (N).
Then using the handle, remove the jack.
12. Press the piston down all the way, and
turn the release valve clockwise as far as possible.
13. Check your tyre inflation pressure. The
correct pressures are shown on the door
label. See the illustration.CAUTIONl The tyre pressure should be periodically
checked and maintained at the specified pressure while the tyre is stowed.
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 spare wheel
E00803701512
1. Install the hanger disc (A) in the wheel
disc hole.
2. Turn the wheel nut wrench (B) clock-
wise to wind up the chain.
NOTEl Confirm that the hanger disc is securely fit-
ted in the wheel disc hole when the wheel isjust lifted off the ground.
3. After winding up the spare wheel suffi-
ciently, make sure it is not loose (the tightening torque should be approxi-
mately 40 N•m (achieved by applying a force of 200 N at the end of the wheel nut wrench.)) then withdraw the jack
handle, taking care not to turn it in the
reverse direction.
CAUTIONl The spare wheel should always be securely
in position.
If a flat tyre is changed, put the flat tyre in
the spare wheel mounting position with the wheel outer surface upward, and use the wheel nut wrench to secure it firmly.
l When installing the spare wheel, please ob-
serve the followings. If you do not follow
them, it could result in break the spare wheel
carrier.
• Do not use the power tool.
Use the wheel nut wrench stowed on the vehicle.
• Do not apply a force of 400 N or more at
the end of the wheel nut wrench.
4. Have your damaged tyre repaired as
soon as possible.

ed
If towing is necessary, we recommend you to have it done by your MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or a
commercial tow truck service.
In the following cases, transport the vehicle
using a tow truck.
l The engine runs but the vehicle does not
move or abnormal noise is produced.
l Inspection of the vehicle’s underside re-

Towing
8-23OKTE18E1For emergencies8
If a wheel gets stuck in a ditch, do not try to
tow the vehicle. Please contact your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point or a commercial tow truck service for assistance.
Only when you cannot receive a towing serv- ice from a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point or commercial tow truck service, tow your vehicle carefully in accord-
ance with the instructions given in “Emer- gency towing” in this part.The regulations concerning towing may dif-
fer from country to country. It is recommen- ded that you obey the regulations of the area
where you are driving your vehicle.Towing the vehicle by a tow
truckCAUTIONl This vehicle must not be towed by a tow
truck using sling lift type equipment (Type A) as illustrated. Using a sling lift will dam-age the bumper and front end.
l On 4WD vehicles, be sure to set the drive
mode-selector to “2H” position and transportthe vehicle with the driving wheels on a car-
riage (Type D or E) as illustrated. Never try
to tow with the drive mode-selector in “4H” or “4L” positions (Easy Select 4WD), “4H”, “4HLc” or “4LLc” positions (Super Select4WD II) and with the front or rear wheels on
the ground (Type B or C) as illustrated. This could result in driving system damage or the
vehicle may jump at the carriage. If you can- not set the drive mode-selector to “2H” posi- tion or the transmission is malfunctioning ordamaged, transport the vehicle with the allwheels on a carriage (Type D or E) as illus-
trated.
l As your vehicle is equipped with the Active
Stability & Traction Control system (ASTC), if the vehicle is towed with the ig-
nition switch in the “ON” position or the op- eration mode in ON and only the front
wheels or only the rear wheels raised off the
ground, the active Traction Control System may operate, resulting in an accident.
