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.
CAUTIONNever 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.
CAUTIONDriving 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.

To store the spare tire
CAUTIONStoring the tire with the wheel surface facingdown may damage the wheel or tire hanger.If you find any damage
on a spare tire, do not
use the tire and contact an authorized Mit-subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility ofyour choice.
CAUTIONMake sure you hook the tire hanger in theproper position. If the tire hanger is nothooked properly, the hook
could damage the
vehicle body or the tire
could fall off the
vehicle while driving,
causing an accident.
CAUTIONConfirm that the tire hanger is firmly securedafter storing the spare
tire. If the tire hanger
is not secured, it c
ould drop out while driv-
ing, causing
an accident.
When hooking or unhooking the tire hanger,be sure to hold the tire hanger firmly to pre-vent it from dropping on your foot.

Wrap the tip of the bar with a cloth, insert itinto the notch provided in the wheel cover,and pry the cover away from the wheel.Using the same procedur
e at the other wheel
cover notches, work the wheel cover awayfrom the wheel to remove it completely.
1. Align the tire air valve (C) and the wheelcover notch (D).
2. Push the bottom (F) of the wheel coverinto the wheel.3. Gently push in both sides (G) of the wheelcover and hold them in place with bothknees.4. Gently tap the top (H) of the wheel coveraround its outer circumference to push itin.
Wheel cover (if so equipped) To remove
NOTE
The wheel cover is made
of plastic. Be care-
ful when prying it off.
CAUTIONTrying to remove the
wheel cover with only
your bare hands can se
riously injure your
fingers.
To install
CAUTIONBefore installing the wheel cover to thewheel, make sure that the tabs (A) on theback of the wheel cove
r correctly engage the
ring (B) to prevent the wheel cover fromcoming off. Do not install a wheel cover thathas broken tabs.
NOTE

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 best way to keep carbon monoxide gasfrom entering inside your
vehicle is to have
the engine exhaust syst
em properly serviced.
Have a competent mechanic inspect the com-plete exhaust system
and nearby body areas
for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or mispo-sitioned parts if you no
tice any of the follow-
ing:A change in the sound of the exhaust sys-temThe smell of exhaust fumes inside thevehicle
WA R N I N GIf you see a fuel leak
or if you smell fuel,
do not run the engine. Any spark (includ-ing from the ignition
), flame or smoking
material could cause an explosion or fire.Call an authorized

cility of your choice
for assistance.
