When driving on a road covered withsnow or ice, use s
now tires. Tire chains
cannot be used on your vehicle. Theremay be state or local regulations aboutusing snow tires. Al
ways check the regu-
lations in your local area before usingthem. Refer to “Snow tires” on page 9-21and “Tire chains” on page 9-22.Drive slowly. Do not make sudden startsor stops, sharp turns, or slam on thebrakes.Allow extra distance
between your vehi-
cle and the vehicle in front of you, andavoid sudden braking.If a skid occurs when the acceleratorpedal is depressed, take your foot off thepedal. Steer gently in the direction of theskid.Your vehicle is equipped with an anti-lockbraking system (ABS). Hold the brakepedal down firmly and keep it depressed.Do not pump the brake pedal which willresult in reduced braking performance.After parking on snowy or icy roads, itmay be difficult to move your vehicle dueto the brake being frozen. Depress theaccelerator pedal little by little to movethe vehicle when safe to do so.
Drive as slow as pos
sible when driving on
bumpy, rutted roads or over potholes.

In the event of a collision causing frontal air-bag deployment, the fuel pump shut-off sys-tem will activate to st
op fuel supply to the
engine.
On snowy or icy roads
CAUTIONDo not depress the acce
lerator pedal rapidly.
The vehicle could start moving when itbreaks free from the
ice, possibly resulting in
an accident.
On a bumpy or rutted road
CAUTIONDriving on bumpy, rutted roads or over pot-holes can damage th
e tires and wheels.
Wheels with low-profiles tires or under-inflated tires are especially at risk for dam-age.

EXAMPLE: DOT MA L9 ABCD 1504
The treadwear grade is a comparativerating based on the wear rate of thetire when tested under controlledconditions on a specified governmenttest course. For example, a tiregraded 150 would wear one and one-half (1
1/2) times as well on the gov-
ernment course as a tire graded 100.The relative performance of tiresdepends upon the
actual conditions
of their use, however, and may departsignificantly from the norm due tovariations in driv
ing habits, service
practices and differences in roadcharacteristics and climate.The traction grades, from highest tolowest, are AA, A, B and C. Thosegrades represent the tire’s ability tostop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled co
nditions on speci-
fied government test surfaces ofasphalt and concrete. A tire markedC may have poor traction perfor-mance.The temperature grades are A (thehighest), B and C, representing thetire’s resistance to the generation ofheat and its ability to dissipate heatwhen tested under controlled condi-tions on a specified indoor laboratorytest wheel. Sustained high tempera-ture can cause the material of the tireto degenerate and reduce tire life, andexcessive temperature can lead tosudden tire failure. The grade C cor-responds to a level of performancewhich all passenger car tires mustmeet under the Federal Motor Vehi-cle Safety Standard No. 109. GradesB and A represent higher levels ofperformance on the laboratory testwheel than the minimum required bylaw.

Proper tire inflation pre
ssure is essential for
the safe and satisfac
tory operation of your
vehicle. The wrong tire pressure will causeproblems in three major areas:SafetyToo little pressure increases flexing in thetire and can cause tire failure. Too muchpressure can cause a tire to lose its abilityto cushion shock. Objects on the road andpotholes could then ca
use tire damage that
may result in tire failure.EconomyThe wrong tire pressu
re can cause uneven
wear patterns in the tire tread. Theseabnormal wear patter
ns will reduce the
tread life, and the tire will have to bereplaced sooner.Too little pressure also makes it harder forthe tire to roll, and this uses up more fuel.Ride comfort and vehicle stabilityThe superior riding e
xperience built into
your vehicle partly de
pends on the correct
tire pressure. Too much pressure gives anuncomfortable and jarring ride. Too littlepressure feels as if
your vehicle is slow to
respond.Unequal tire pressure
s can make steering
your vehicle uneven
and unpredictable.
The tire pressure for your vehicle under nor-mal driving conditions is listed on the placardattached to the driver’s door sill.(Refer to “Tire and loading information plac-ard” on page 11-3.)The recommended inflation pressures undernormal driving conditions should be used forthe tires listed below.Tire pressures should be checked, andadjusted if necessary, at least once a month.Pressures should be checked more oftenwhenever weather temperatures changeseverely, becaus
e tire pressures change with
outdoor temperatures. The pressures listedare always “cold in
flation pressure”.
Cold inflation pressure is measured after thevehicle has been parked for at least threehours or is driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km)after having been parked for three hours.Cold inflation pressure must not go above themaximum values molded into the tire side-wall. After driving several miles, your tireinflation pressure may increase 2 to 6 psi (14
to 41 kPa) from the cold inflation pressure.Do not let air out of the tires to get back to thespecified cold pressure, or your tires will betoo low.Check your tires each t
ime you refuel. If one
tire looks lower than the others, check thepressure for all of them.You should also take the following safety pre-cautions:Keep your tires inflated to the recom-mended pressures. (See the tire and load-ing information placard attached to thedriver’s door sill.)Stay within the recommended load limits.Make sure that the weight of any load inyour vehicle is evenly distributed.Drive at safe speeds.After filling your tires to the correct pres-sure, check them for damage and airleaks. Be sure to reinstall the caps on thevalve stems.

The following maintenance steps are recom-mended:Check tire pressures regularly.Have regular maintenance done on thewheel balance and front and rear suspen-sion alignment.Rotate your tires regul
arly as described in
the “Tire rotation” section on page 9-20.
N00939800184
Tread wear indicators are built into the origi-nal equipment tires on
your vehicle to help
you 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 bottomof the tread grooves and will appear when thetire tread is worn down to 1/16 inch (1.6mm).When the bands appear next to one another intwo or more places
, replace your tires.

To even out the wear on your tires and makethem last longer, Mitsubishi Motors Corpora-tion recommends that y
ou rotate your tires at
the mileage listed in the “WARRANTY ANDMAINTENANCE 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 noticeunusual wear, rotate your tires as soon as pos-sible.When rotating tires,
check for uneven wear,
damage, and wheel alignment. Abnormalwear is usually caused by a wrong tire pres-
On all-wheel drive vehi
cles, always use tires
of the same size, same
type, and same brand,
and which have no wear differences. Usingtires that differ in si
ze, type, brand or the
degree of wear, will in
crease the differential
oil temperature, resul
ting in possible damage
to the driving system. Further, the drive trainwill be subjected to ex
cessive loading, possi-
bly leading to oil leakage, component sei-zure, or other serious problems.Only Mitsubishi Motors Authorized wheelsshould be used, beca
use your vehicle is
equipped with a tire pr
essure monitoring sys-
tem.Use of another type of
wheel risks air leaks
and sensor damage, as
it will not be possible
to install the tire pressure sensor properly.NOTE
On vehicles with Elec
tric parking brake, 16
inches steel wheel cannot be used on yourvehicle because it interfe
res with brake parts.
Additionally, 16 inches aluminum wheelmay not be used on your vehicle dependingon its type, even if a Mitsubishi Motors Gen-uine wheels.Consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer before using
wheels that you have.

In some areas of the country, snow tires arerequired for winter driving. If snow tires arerequired in your area, you must choose snowtires of the same size
and type as the original
tires provided with your
vehicle. Snow tires
should also be
installed on all four wheels.
Otherwise your safety
and vehicle handling
can be reduced.Even where laws may permit it, snow tiresshould not be operated
at sustained speeds
over 75 mph (120 km/h).
CAUTIONA compact spare tire can be installed tempo-rarily in place of a tir
e that has been removed
during the tire rotation. However, it must notbe included in the regular tire rotationsequence.

Keep each tire on its original side of thevehicle. 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 the
wrong direction will not
perform to its full
potential.CAUTIONAvoid the combined use of different types oftires. Using different t
