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.
On 4-wheel drive vehicles, when replacement
of any of the tyres is necessary, 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
E01007200038
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
11-15.
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.Tyre rotation
E01001902688
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
10-13OKTE18E1Maintenance10

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
E01002002022
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.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.Snow traction device (Tyre
chains)
E01002103219
If snow traction device (tyre chains) have to
be used, ensure that they are fitted only on
the drive wheels (rear) in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

On 4WD vehicles in which the driving poweris distributed preferentially to the rear
wheels, ensure that the snow traction device (Tyre chains) are fitted on the rear.
Use only snow traction device (Tyre chains)
which are designed for use with the tyres mounted on the vehicle: use of the incorrect size or type of snow traction device (Tyre
chains) could result in damage to the vehicle
body.
Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point before putting on a snow
traction device (tyre chains). The max. snow
traction device (tyre chains) height is as fol- lows.Tyre sizeWheel sizeMax. chain

When driving with snow traction device (tyre
chains) on the tyres, do not drive faster than 50 km/h (30 mph). When you reach
roads that are not covered in snow, immedi-
ately remove the snow traction device (tyre
chains).
CAUTIONl Choose a clear straight stretch of road where
you can pull off and still be seen while you
are fitting the snow traction device (Tyre chains).
l Do not fit snow traction device (Tyre chains)
before you need them. This will wear out
your tyres and the road surface.
l After driving around 100-300 metres, stop
and retighten the snow traction device (Tyre chains).
l Drive cautiously and do not exceed 50 km/h
(30 mph). Remember that preventing acci-
dents is not the purpose of snow traction de- vice (tyre chains).
l When snow traction device (Tyre chains) are
installed, take care that they do not damage the disc wheel or body.
l An aluminium wheel can be damaged by a
snow traction device (Tyre chains) while
driving. When fitting a snow traction device (Tyre chains) on an aluminium wheel, take
care that any part of the snow traction device
(Tyre chains) and fitting cannot be brought into contact with the wheel.
l When installing or removing a snow traction
device (Tyre chains), take care that hands
and other parts of your body are not injured by the sharp edges of the vehicle body.
l Install the snow traction device (Tyre
chains) only on the rear tyres and tightenthem as tightly as possible with the ends se-
curely fastened.NOTEl The laws and regulations concerning the use
of snow traction device (tyre chains) vary. Always follow local laws and regulations.
In most countries, it is prohibited by the law to use of snow traction device (tyre chains)
on roads without snow.Wiper blade rubber

blade.5. Push the wiper blade until the hook (B)
engages securely with the stopper (A).General maintenance
E01002701628
Fuel, engine coolant, oil and ex-
haust gas leakage
Look under the body of your vehicle to check
for fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust gas
leaks.
WARNINGl If you see a suspicious fuel leak or if you
smell fuel, do not operate the vehicle; call
your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point for assistance.Exterior and interior lamp op-
eration
Operate the combination lamp switch to
check that all lamps are functioning properly.
If the lamps do not illuminate, the probable cause is a blown fuse or defective lamp bulb.
Check the fuses first. If there is no blown
fuses, check the lamp bulbs.
For information regarding the inspection and
replacement of the fuses and the bulbs, refer
to “Fuses” on page 10-17 and “Replacement
of lamp bulbs” on page 10-22.
If the fuses and bulbs are all OK, we recom-
mend you to have your vehicle checked and repaired.
Meter, gauge and indicator/ warning lamps operation
Start the engine to check the operation of all
instruments, gauges, and indication and warning lamps.
If there is anything wrong, we recommend
you to have your vehicle inspected.
Hinges and latches lubrication
Check all latches and hinges, and, if necessa- ry, have them lubricated.
