The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specifiedgovernment test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (11/2) times as well on th
e government course
as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon th
e actual conditions of
their use, however, and may depart signifi- cantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service
practices and differ-
ences in road characteristics and climate.
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those grades representthe tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under contro
lled conditions on
specified government te
st surfaces of asphalt
and concrete. A tire
marked C may have poor
traction performance. The temperature grades
are A (the highest), B
and C, representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and
its ability to dissipate
heat when tested under controlled conditionson a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce
tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corre- sponds to a level of performance which allpassenger car tires must meet under the Fed- eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels ofperformance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.

Proper tire inflation pressure is essential forthe safe and satisfactory operation of your
vehicle. The wrong tire pressure will cause problems in three major areas:  Safety Too little pressure increases flexing in the tire and can cause tire failure. Too much pressure can cause a tire to lose its abilityto cushion shock. Objects on the road and potholes could then ca
use tire damage that
may result in tire failure. Economy The wrong tire pressu
re can cause uneven
wear patterns in the tire tread. These abnormal wear patter
ns will reduce the
tread life, and the tire will have to bereplaced sooner. Too little pressure also makes it harder for the tire to roll, and this uses up more fuel. Ride comfort and vehicle stability The superior riding experience built into your vehicle partly de
pends on the correct
tire pressure. Too much pressure gives an uncomfortable and jarring ride. Too little pressure 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 placard attached to the driver’s door sill. (Refer to “Tire and loading information plac-ard” on page 11-3.)

The recommended inflation pressures under normal driving conditions should be used forthe tires listed below. Tire pressures should be checked, and adjusted if necessary, at least once a month. Pressures should be checked more often whenever weather temperatures changeseverely, becaus
e tire pressures change with
outdoor temperatures. The pressures listed are always “cold inflation pressure”.Cold inflation pressure is measured after the vehicle has been parked
for at least three
hours or is driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km)after having been parked for three hours. Cold inflation pressure must not go above the maximum values molded into the tire side-wall. After driving seve
ral miles, your tire
inflation 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 the
specified cold pressure, or your tires will be too low.Check your tires each time you refuel. If one tire looks lower than the others, check the pressure 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 the driver’s door sill.)  Stay within the recommended load limits.  Make sure that the weight of any load in your 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 the valve stems.

The following maintenance steps are recom- mended:  Check tire pressures regularly.  Have regular maintenance done on the wheel balance and front and rear suspen-sion alignment.  Rotate your tires regularly as described in the “Tire rotation” section on page 9-17.

Replacing tires and wheels
CAUTION Avoid using different size tires from the one listed and the combined use of different types of tires, as this can affect driving safety.Refer to “Tires and wheels” on page 11-5.
 If your vehicle is equippe
d with a tire pres-
sure monitoring system, only MitsubishiMotors Genuine wheels should be used.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.

1. To maintain the value of your new vehi- cle, maintain the upholstery carefully and keep the interior clean.
Use a vacuum cleaner
and brush to clean
the seats. If stained,
vinyl and synthetic
leather should be cleaned with an appro- priate cleaner. Cloth fabrics can be cleaned with either upholstery cleaner or a3% solution of gentle soap in lukewarm water. 2. Clean the carpeting with a vacuumcleaner and remove any stains with carpet cleaner. Oil and grea
se can be removed by
lightly dabbing with
a clean white cloth
and spot remover.

1. To clean, lightly wipe the leather with a soft cloth soaked in a 5% solution of gen- tle soap and water. 2. To rinse, dip the cloth in fresh water,wring it out well, a
nd wipe off all the
soap. 3. To preserve and protect, use a leather pro-tecting agent on the genuine leather sur- face.

To protect your vehicle’s finish, wash it often and thoroughly. If desired, you may wax your vehicle using a nonabra
sive automobile wax.
Plastic, vinyl leat
her, fabric and
flocked parts
NOTE
 Do not use cleaners, conditioners, and pro- tectants containing silicones or wax.Such products, when applied to the instru- ment panels or other pa
rts, may cause reflec-
tions on the windshield and obscure vision.Also, if such products
get on the switches of
the electrical accessories, it may lead to fail- ure of these accessories.
Upholstery
NOTE
 If fuzzing is difficult to remove from the seat upholstery, draw a suit
able defuzzing brush
over 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
leather surface and
should not be used.  Genuine leather can
mildew if not kept
clean. Clean up any oil
stains immediately.
 The genuine leather su
rface may harden and
shrink if it is exposed to the direct sunlightfor long hours. When your vehicle is parked, place it in the shade as much as possible.  When the temperature of the vehicle interior rises in summer, vinyl
products left on the
genuine leather seat
may deteriorate and
stick to the seat.
