7. Install the wheel nuts with their tapered ends facing inward, then tighten by handuntil the wheel is no longer loose. 8. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tire touches the ground, by rotating the wheel nut wrench counterclockwise.
9. Tighten the nuts in the order shown in the illustration 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 door sill as shown in the illustration. Refer to“Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-16.
CAUTION Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts or the nuts or they will tighten too much.
Steel wheel Aluminum wheel
CAUTION Never use your foot or a pipe extension to apply added force to the wheel nut wrench when tightening the wh
eel nuts. If you do so,
you can over-tighten the wheel nuts and damage 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, keep your speed down and av
oid sudden steering
or braking, if possible. Inflate the tire to thecorrect pressure as soon as possible. Refer to “Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-16. After changing the tire
and driving the vehi-
cle about 620 miles (1,000 km), retighten the wheel nuts to make sure that they have notcome loose.

Store the flat tire in the cargo area. Reverse the removing procedure when stor-ing the spare tire, jack, bar and wheel nut wrench. Refer to “To remove compact spare tire” onpage 8-7 and “Jack and tools” on page 8-5.
N00849401251
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 procedure at the other wheelcover notches, work the wheel cover away from the wheel to remove it completely.
 If the steering wheel vibrates when driving after changing the tire, have the tire checkedfor balance at an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. Do not mix one type of tire with another or use a different size from the one listed. This would cause ea
rly wear and poor handling.
To store the flat tire or spare tire, jack, bar and wheel nut wrench
CAUTION
Wheel covers (if so equipped) To r e m o v e
NOTE
 The wheel cover is made
of plastic. Be care-
ful when prying it off.
CAUTION Trying to remove the
wheel cover with only
your bare hands can seriously injure yourfingers.
To install
CAUTION Before installing the wheel cover to the wheel, make sure that the tabs (A) on the back of the wheel cove
r correctly engage the
ring (B) to prevent the wheel cover fromcoming off. Do not install a wheel cover that has broken tabs.

Set the gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) position.Secure the steering wheel in a straight-ahead position with a rope or tie-down strap. Release the parking brake. Place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position (manual transa
xle) or the selector
lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position (CVT).

If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow, sand, or mud, it can often be moved by a rockingmotion. Rock your vehicle back and forth to free it.
Towing the vehicle by a tow truck
CAUTION This vehicle must not be towed by a tow truck using sling lift
type equipment (Type
A) as illustrated. Using a sling lift will dam- age the bumper and front end.Towing with rear wheels off the ground. Do not tow CVT vehicles with this style. Towing with front wheels off the ground.
 Do not tow continuously variable transmis- sion (CVT) vehicles with the driving wheelson the ground (Type B) as illustrated. If thevehicle is towed like
this, the continuously
variable transmission (CVT) fluid may not reach all parts of the transmission, thus dam-aging it. If you tow CVT vehicles, use Type C, D or E equipment. If the manual transaxl
e is malfunctioning or
damaged, transport the
vehicle with the driv-
ing wheels on a carriage (Type C, D or E) as illustrated. If the vehicle is towed with the ignition switch in the “ON” pos
ition or the operation
mode in ON and only the front wheels oronly the rear wheels raised off the ground (Type B or C), the Active Stability Control (ASC) may operate, result
ing in an accident.
When towing the vehicle with the rear wheels raised, turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” position or put
the operation mode in
ACC. When towing the vehicle with the front wheels raised, keep the ignition switch or the operation mode as follows.[Except for vehicles equipped with the F. A . S . T. - k e y ] The ignition switch is
in “OFF” or “ACC”
position. [Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key] The operation mode is in OFF or ACC.CAUTION
Towing with rear wheels off the ground (Type B - M/T vehicles only) Towing with front wheels off the ground (Type C) Operation under adverse driving conditions If your vehicle becomes stuck in sand, mud or snow

Ride comfort and vehicle stability The superior riding experience built into your vehicle partly depends on the correct tire pres-sure. Too much pressure gives an uncomfortable and jarring ride. Too little pressure feels as if yourvehicle is slow to respond. Unequal tire pressures can make steering your vehicle uneven andunpredictable.
The tire pressure for your vehicle under normal driving conditions is listed on the placard attached to the driver’s door sill.(Refer to “Tire and loading informa- tion placard” on page 11-3.)
The recommended inflation pres- sures under normal driving condi- tions should be used for the 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 change severely, because tire pres-sures change with outdoor tempera- tures. 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 havingbeen parked for three hours. Cold inflation pres
sure must not go
above the maximum values moldedinto the tire sidewall. After driving several miles, your tire inflation pres- sure may increase 2 to 6 psi (14 to 41kPa) 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 thanthe others, check the pressure for all of them. You should also take the followingsafety precautions:Keep your tires inflated to the rec-ommended pressures. (See the tireand loading information placard attached to the driver’s door sill.)Stay within the recommended load limits.

there are other parts which do not usually need regular maintenance.But, if any of these
parts stops working prop-
erly, your vehicle performance could suffer. Have these items checked if you notice aproblem with them. If you have any questions, see your autho- rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer for assistance.

Good brakes are essential for safe driving. Check the brake pads for wear. For goodbraking performance, replace the brake pads with the same type pa
ds as the originals.
N00941700076
Brake hoses and tubing should be checked for:  Severe surface cracki
ng, scuffing or worn
spots. If the fabric casing of the hose isshowing through any cracks or worn spots in the rubber hose cover, the hose should be replaced. The brakes can fail if thehose wears through.  Improper installation
may cause twisting,
or wheel, tire or
chassis interference.

The best way to keep carbon monoxide gas from 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- tem  The smell of exhaust fumes inside the vehicle
 The underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged
Also check the exhaust system each time the vehicle is raised for l
ubrication, oil changes,
or required service. A
ny open seams or loose
connections could le
t dangerous exhaust
fumes seep into the luggage and passenger compartments.  Check for holes or exhaust gas leaks caused by corrosion or damage.  Check the joints and connections for looseness or exhaust gas leaks. Check the rubber hangers and brackets for damage.

The hood lock release mechanism and hood safety catch should be
checked, cleaned, and
oiled when needed for easy movement and to prevent rust and wear. Use Multipurpose Grease NLGI Grade 2 sp
aringly for all sliding
parts of the hood latc
h and release lever.
Work the grease into the hood lock mecha-
