arly as described in
the “Tire rotation” section on page 9-20.

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.

sure, wheels that are not aligned properly,wheels that are out-of-balance, or severebraking.Check with an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a repair fac
ility of your choice to
find out the reason for uneven tread wear.The first tire rotation is the most importantone. It will allow all your tires to wear evenly.

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).
CAUTIONA 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.
Tires that do not have arrows showing rotation directionTires that have arrows s
howing rotation direction
FrontFront
If the tires have arrows (A) indicating thecorrect direction of rotation, swap the frontand rear tires on the left-hand side of thevehicle and the front and rear tires on theright-hand side of th
e vehicle separately.
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.CAUTIONAvoid the combined use of different types oftires. Using different t
ypes of tires can affect
vehicle performance and safety.CAUTIONFront

dry with a cham-
ois or soft cloth. Af
ter washing the vehicle,
carefully clean the join
ts and flanges of the
doors, hood, etc., wher
e dirt is likely to
remain.
NOTE
If fuzzing is difficult to remove from the seatupholstery, draw a suitable defuzzing brushover the surface in
one direction.
Genuine leather
(if so equipped)
NOTE
If genuine leather is we
t with water, wipe it
with a dry, soft cloth. If left damp, mildewmay grow.The genuine leather su
rface can be damaged
if brushed with a nylon or synthetic fiberbrush.Organic solvents such as benzine, kerosene,alcohol, gasoline, or acid
or alkaline solvents
can discolor the genuine

Salt and other chemicals used on winter roadsin some geographical areas can have a detri-mental effect on the vehicle underbody. Youshould flush the underbody with a high pres-sure hose every time you wash the outside ofyour vehicle.Take special care to remove mud or otherdebris which could trap and hold salt andmoisture.After washing your vehicle, wipe off allwaterdrops from the rubber parts around thedoors to prevent the doors from freezing.

Wax your vehicle once or twice a year, orwhen water does not bead up on the paint.Use a soft cloth to put a small amount of waxon the painted surfaces.
After the wax has
dried, polish with
a dry soft cloth.
Do not wax your vehicle in direct sunlight.You should wax when the painted surfacesare cool.
Never spray or splash water on the electricalparts in the engine compartment. This maydamage them. Be careful also when washingthe underbody to ensure that water does notenter the engine compartment.Avoid automatic car washers that use rotat-ing brushes. These br
ushes may scratch the
paint surface a
nd make it dull.
Scratches are more not
iceable on darker col-
ored vehicles.Some hot water wash
ing equipment uses
high pressure and heat
to clean your vehicle.
Because hot water can da
mage plastics parts
and seep inside your ve
hicle, make sure you
do the following when using such equip-ment:• Keep the washing nozzle at least 28 inches(70 cm) away from the vehicle body.• When washing around the door glass, holdthe nozzle at a distance of more than 28inches (70 cm) and at a right angle to theglass surface.
Make sure to do the following when using anautomatic car wash, with help from eitherthis manual or the car wash operator, toavoid damaging your vehicle:• Fold the outside
rearview mirrors.
• Tape or remove the rear wiper arm assem-bly.• If your vehicle is equi
pped with a roof rails,
check with the car wash operator beforeusing the car wash.CAUTION
• If your vehicle is e
quipped with the rain
sensor, place th
e wiper switch lever in the
“OFF” position to deac
tivate the rain sen-
sor.
During cold weather
NOTE
When the door is frozen, opening it by forcemay tear off or crack the rubber gasketinstalled around the door. Pour warm waterto melt the ice. Be
sure to thoroughly wipe
off the water after opening the door. To pre-vent freezing of the
weatherstripping on the
doors, hood, etc., treat
with silicone lubri-
cant.CAUTION
Waxing
CAUTIONWaxes containing high abrasive compoundsshould not be used. Th
ese waxes remove rust
and stain effectively fr
om the paintwork, but
are harmful to the finish of the paint, becausethey also remove
paint/clearcoat.
They are also harmful to other glossy sur-faces such as the grille, trim, moldings, etc.Do not use gasoline, benzine, kerosene orpaint thinners to remove
road tar or other dirt
from the vehicle surface.Do not put wax on the areas having blackmatte coating because
it can cause uneven
discoloration, patches, bl
urs, etc. If these get
wax on them, wipe the wax off right awaywith a soft clot
h and warm water.
