8. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tiretouches the ground, by rotating the wheelnut wrench counterclockwise.9. Tighten the nuts in the order shown in theillustration until each
nut has been tight-
ened to the torque listed here.65 to 80 ft-lb (88 to 108 N•m)
10. Lower the jack all the way and remove it.11. Check the tire inflation pressure. The rec-
ommended tire pressure for your vehicleis listed on the tire
and loading informa-
tion placard attached to the driver’s doorsill as shown in the illustration. Refer to“Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-19.
NOTE
If all 4 aluminum wheels are changed to steelwheels, use tapered nuts.
CAUTIONNever use your foot or a pipe extension toapply added force to the wheel nut wrenchwhen tightening the wheel nuts. If you do so,you can over-tighten the wheel nuts anddamage the wheel, wheel nuts and hub bolts.
CAUTIONDriving with an imprope
rly inflated tire can
cause an accident. If
you have no choice but
to drive with an under-inflated tire, keepyour speed down and avoid sudden steeringor braking, if possible. Inflate the tire to thecorrect pressure as s
oon as possible. Refer to
“Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-19.After changing the tire
and driving the vehi-
cle about 620 miles (1,000 km), retighten thewheel nuts to make sure
that they have not
come loose.If the steering wheel vibrates when drivingafter changing the tire, have the tire checkedfor balance at an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice.Do not mix one type of tire with another oruse a different size from the one listed. Thiswould cause ea
rly wear and poor handling.

Normally, the catalyti
c converter does not
require maintenance. However, it is importantto keep the engine properly tuned for the con-verter to continue to work properly.To reduce the possibili
ty of catalytic con-
verter damage:Use UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY ofthe type of recommended in the “Fuelselection”.Do not drive with an extremely low fuellevel. Running out of gas could damagethe catalytic converter.
Do not try to start the engine by pushingor towing the vehicle. If the battery isweak or run down, use jumper cables toproperly start the engine.Do not idle the engine with any spark plugwires disconnected or removed, such aswhen performing
diagnosti
c tests.
Do not idle the engine
for a long time if it
is idling roughly or otherwise obviouslymalfunctioning.To prevent the catalytic converter frombeing damaged from unburned gas, do notrace the engine when turning off the igni-tion switch.Stop driving the vehicle if you think theperformance is noticeably low, or theengine has a malfunction such as with theignition, etc. If you are not able to stopdriving immediately,
slow down and drive
for only a short time. Have your vehiclechecked at an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice as soon
as possible.
In unusual situations involving majorengine problems, a burning odor mayindicate severe and abnormal catalyticconverter overheating.
If this occurs, stop
in a safe place, shut the engine off and letthe vehicle cool. Once
the engine is cool,
immediately take
your vehicle to an
authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice for service.

CAUTIONDamage to the catalyti
c converter can result
if your vehicle is not
kept in proper operating
condition. If the engine
malfunctions or mis-
fires, or if your vehi
cle performance suffers,
have it serviced promptly. Running yourvehicle when it is
overheated may result in
damage to the converter and vehicle.WA R N I N GDo not park or run your vehicle in areaswhere combustible materials such as drygrass or leaves can come
in contact with a
hot exhaust, since a fire could occur.Do not put undercoat paint on the cata-lytic converter.

The hood lock release mechanism and hoodsafety catch should be checked, cleaned, andoiled when needed for easy movement and toprevent rust and wear. Use MultipurposeGrease NLGI Grade 2 sparingly for all slidingparts of the hood latch and release lever.Work the grease into the hood lock mecha-nism until all the movable surfaces are cov-ered.Also, put a light coat
of the same grease on
the safety catch wherever moving parts touch.

The ventilation slots in
front of the wind-
shield should be brushed clear after a heavysnowfall so that the operation of the heatingand ventilation systems will not be impaired.
To prevent freezing of the weatherstrippingon the doors, engine hood, etc., they shouldbe treated with
silicone grease.
It is a good idea to carry a shovel or a short-handled spade in the vehicle during the win-ter so that you can clear away snow if you getstranded. A small hand-brush for sweepingsnow off the vehicle a
nd a plastic scraper for
the windshield, side a
nd rear window are also
useful.
