3. On vehicles with M/T, stop the engine

and move the gearshift lever to the “R”
(Reverse) position.
On vehicles with A/T or CVT, move the
selector lever to the “P” (PARK) posi-
tion and stop the engine.

4. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and

set up a warning triangle, flashing signal
lamp, etc., at an adequate distance from
the vehicle, and have all your passengers
leave the vehicle.

NOTE

The warning triangle and flashing signal
lamp do not come with your vehicle. It is
recommended that you keep one in the vehi-
cle for use if needed.

5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling

when it is raised on the jack, place
chocks or blocks (A) in front of and be-
hind the tyre that is diagonally opposite
from the tyre (B) you are changing.

WARNING

Be sure to apply chocks or blocks to the
correct tyre when jacking up the vehicle.
If the vehicle moves while jacked up, the
jack could slip out of position, leading to
an accident.

NOTE

The chocks shown in the illustration do not
come with your vehicle. It is recommended
that you keep one in the vehicle for use if
needed.

If chocks or blocks are not available, use
stones or any other objects that are large
enough to hold the wheel in position.

6. Get the jack bar and wheel nut wrench

ready.
Refer to “Tool and jack” on page 8-06.

Spare wheel information*

E00803601843

Check the air pressure of the spare tyre fre-
quently and make sure it is ready for emer-
gency use at any time.

Maintaining the spare wheel at the highest
specified air pressure will ensure that it can
always be used under any conditions (city/
high-speed driving, varying load weight,
etc.).
The spare wheel is stored beneath the lug-
gage floor board of the luggage compartment.

CAUTION

The pressure should be periodically checked
and maintained at the specified pressure
while the tyre is stowed.
Driving with an insufficient tyre pressure
can lead to an accident. If you have no
choice but to drive with an insufficient tyre
pressure, keep your speed down and inflate
the tyre to the correct pressure as soon as
possible. (Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures”
on page 10-13.)

When the tread wear indicators appear, the
tyre must be replaced.
Refer to “Wheel condition” on page 10-14.

Temporary spare wheel (spare

wheel with a speed limit label)*

The T155/90D16 size spare wheel is stored
beneath the luggage floor board of the lug-
gage compartment. It is designed to save
space in the luggage compartment and its
light weight makes it easy to handle in the
event of a flat tyre.

CAUTION

The temporary spare wheel is for temporary
use only and should be removed as soon as
the original wheel can be repaired or re-
placed. (For vehicles that are equipped with
a tyre pressure monitoring system, while the
temporary spare wheel is being used, the
tyre pressure monitoring system will not
function properly.)

The vehicle must not be driven at speeds in
excess of 80 km/h (50 mph) while using the
temporary spare wheel.

The T155/90D16 size spare wheel is not as
good as a standard wheel in controllability
and stability. When the temporary spare
wheel is used, avoid quick starts, sudden
braking and sharp steering.
The tyre size of the 215/65R16 size tempo-
rary spare tyre is different from that of the
standard tyre. When the temporary spare
tyre is used, avoid quick starts, sudden brak-
ing and sharp steering.

CAUTION

The temporary spare wheel is specifically
designed for your vehicle and it should not
be used on any other vehicle.
When you purchase a 215/65R16 size spare
wheel, be sure to purchase the type designed
specially for your vehicle from your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.

Do not use tyre chains with your temporary
spare wheel. Because of the smaller tyre
size, a tyre chain will not fit properly. This
could cause damage to the wheel and result
in loss of the chain.
If a front tyre becomes flat when using tyre
chains, first replace a rear wheel with the
temporary spare wheel and then use the re-
moved rear wheel to replace the flat front
wheel so that you can continue to use the
chains.

CAUTION

Upon installation of the T155/90D16 size
spare wheel, the ground clearance is reduced
as the tyre is smaller in diameter than the
standard tyre.
When passing over the projections on the
road, take care not to damage the vehicle’s
undercarriage.

Do not install more than one temporary
spare wheel at the same time.

To remove the spare wheel

E00803301185

1. Lift up the luggage floor board.
2. To remove the spare wheel, remove the

spare tyre pad (A), and then remove the
installation clamp (B) by turning it anti-
clockwise.

NOTE

Put the spare wheel under the vehicle body
near the jack. This makes it safer if the jack
slips out of position.

To change a tyre

E00803202295

1. If a wheel cover is installed, first remove

the cover. (Refer to “Wheel covers”.)
Then loosen the wheel nuts a quarter
turn with the wheel nut wrench. Do not
remove the wheel nuts yet.

2. Place the jack under one of the jacking

points (A) shown in the illustration. Use
the jacking point closest to the tyre you
wish to change.

WARNING

Set the jack only at the positions shown
here. If the jack is set at a wrong position,
it could dent your vehicle or the jack
might fall over and cause personal injury.

Do not use the jack on a tilted or soft sur-
face.
Otherwise, the jack might slip and cause
personal injury. Always use the jack on a
flat, hard surface.
Before setting the jack, make sure there
are no sand or pebbles under the jack
base.

3. Rotate the jack by hand until the flange

portion (B) fits in the groove (C) at the
top of the jack.

4. Check that the flange portion at the jack-

ing point fits in the groove at the top of
the jack.

OGAE18E1

For emergencies

Slowly rotate the wheel nut wrench until
the tyre is raised slightly off the ground
surface.

WARNING

Stop jacking up the vehicle as soon as the
tyre is raised off the ground. It is danger-
ous to raise the vehicle any higher.

Do not get under your vehicle while using
the jack.

Do not bump the raised vehicle or leave it
sitting on the jack for a long time. Both
are very dangerous.

Do not use a jack except the one that
came with your vehicle.

The jack should not be used for any pur-
pose other than to change a tyre.

No one should be in your vehicle when us-
ing the jack.

Do not start or run the engine while your
vehicle is on the jack.

WARNING

Do not turn the raised wheel. The tyres
still on the ground could turn and make
your vehicle fall off the jack.

5. Remove the wheel nuts with the wheel

nut wrench, then take the wheel off.

CAUTION

Handle the wheel carefully when changing
the tyre, to avoid scratching the wheel sur-
face.

6. Clean out any mud, etc. on the hub sur-

face (F), hub bolts (G) or in the installa-
tion holes (H) in the wheel, and then
mount the spare tyre.

WARNING

Be sure to position the tyres the correct
way when putting them on the vehicle.
The valves should be on the outer side of
the vehicle. If the valve (I) cannot be seen,
the tyre has been mounted the wrong way
around.
If tyres are mounted the wrong way
around it could have a negative effect on
the vehicle and cause an accident.

7. Turn the wheel nuts clockwise by hand

to initially tighten them.

[Vehicle with the tapered nuts]
Initially tighten the wheel nuts until the
tapered part (A) of the nuts lightly

touches the wheel hole seats (B) enough
to keep the tyre from wobbling.

[Vehicle with the flange nuts]

• Aluminium wheel

Initially tighten the wheel nuts until
the wheel nut flange area (C) touch-
es the wheel enough to keep the tyre
from wobbling.

• Steel wheel

Initially tighten the wheel nuts until
the tapered area (A) of the nuts
lightly touches the wheel hole seat
area (B) enough to keep the tyre
from wobbling.

CAUTION

Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts or
the nuts, or they will tighten too much.

NOTE

Flange nuts can be temporarily used on the
steel wheel, but return to the original wheel
and tyre as soon as possible.

If all 4 aluminium wheels are changed to
steel wheels, e.g. when fitting winter tyres,
use tapered nuts.

8. Lower the vehicle slowly by rotating the

wheel nut wrench anticlockwise until the
tyre touches the ground.

9. Tighten the nuts in the order shown in

the illustration until each nut has been
tightened to the torque listed here.

(Achieved by applying force of 350 to
420 N at end of wheel nut wrench sup-
plied with vehicle)

CAUTION

Never use your foot or a pipe extension for
extra force in the wheel nut wrench. If you
do so, you will tighten the nut too much.

10. If the vehicle has a wheel cover, install

it.
Refer to “Wheel covers” on page 8-20.

11. Lower and remove the jack, then store

the jack, flat tyre, and chocks. Have your
damaged tyre repaired as soon as possi-
ble.

12. Check your tyre inflation pressure at the

next gasstation. The correct tyre pres-
sures are shown on the driver’s door la-
bel. See the illustration.

CAUTION

The temporary spare wheel is to be used on-
ly temporarily when the standard wheel is
damaged. Repair the damaged tyre as soon
as possible and use it to replace the tempora-
ry spare tyre.

After changing the tyre and driving the vehi-
cle about 1,000 km (620 miles), retighten the
wheel nuts to make sure that they have not
come loose.

If the steering wheel vibrates when driving
after changing the tyre, we recommend you
to have the tyres checked for balance.

Do not mix one type of tyre with another or
use a different size from the one listed. This
would cause early wear and poor handling.

To store the flat tyre or spare

wheel

functioning or damaged, transport the vehi-
cle with the driving wheels on a carriage
(Type C, D or E) as illustrated.

The 4WD vehicles cannot be towed with on-
ly the front or rear tyres on the ground even
if they are in “2WD” drive mode.

CAUTION

[For 2WD vehicles equipped with the Active
Stability Control (ASC)]
If the vehicle is towed with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position or the operation
mode in ON and only the front wheels or on-
ly the rear wheels raised off the ground
(Type B or C), the ASC may operate, result-
ing in an accident.

Go (AS&G) system, press the “AS&G OFF”
switch to deactivate the AS&G system be-
fore stopping the vehicle.
Refer to “To deactivate” on page 6-22.

WARNING

When the engine is not running, the brake
booster and power steering system do not
operate. This means higher brake depres-
sion force and higher steering effort are
required. Therefore, vehicle operation is
more difficult than usual.

CAUTION

Do not leave the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” position or the operation mode in
OFF. The steering wheel will lock, causing
loss of control.

3. Place the gearshift lever in the “N”

(Neutral) position (M/T), or the selector
lever in the “N” (Neutral) position (A/T
or CVT).

4. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if re-

quired by law. (Follow the local driving
laws and regulations.)

5. During towing make sure that close con-

tact is maintained between the drivers of
both vehicles, and that the vehicles trav-
el at low speed.

CAUTION

The person in the vehicle being towed must
pay attention to the brake lamps of the tow-
ing vehicle and make sure the rope never be-
comes slack.

Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration
and sharp turning; such operation could
cause damage to the towing hooks or the tow
rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured as a
result.

When towing or being towed down a long
slope, the brakes may overheat reducing the
effectiveness. In this situation, have your ve-
hicle transported by a tow truck.

Towing

Operation under adverse
driving conditions

E00801702531

On a flooded road

Avoid flooded roads. Water could enter
the brake discs, resulting in temporarily
ineffective brakes. In such cases, lightly
depress the brake pedal to see if the
brakes operate properly. If they do not,
lightly depress the pedal several times
while driving in order to dry the brake
pads.

When driving in rain or on a road with
many puddles a layer of water may form
between the tyres and the road surface.
This reduces a tyre’s frictional resistance
on the road, resulting in loss of steering
stability and braking capability.

To cope with this, observe the following
items:

(a)

Drive your vehicle at slow
speed.

(b) Do not drive on worn tyres.
(c)

Always maintain the specified
tyre inflation pressures.

On a snow-covered or frozen

road

The use of snow tyres or tyre chains is
recommended for driving on snow and
ice.
Refer to the “Snow tyres” and “Tyre
chains” sections.

Avoid high-speed driving, sudden accel-
eration, sudden braking, and sharp turns.

Depressing the brake pedal during travel
on snowy or icy roads may cause tyre
slippage and skidding. Tyres may slip if
the ability of the tyres to grip the road
surface lessens. This may make it more
difficult to stop the vehicle with normal
braking operations. For vehicles with an
anti-lock brake system (ABS), firmly de-
press and hold down the brake pedal.

Keep a larger distance than normal be-
tween your vehicle and the vehicle in
front of you, and avoid sudden braking.

Accumulation of ice on the braking sys-
tem can cause the wheels to lock. Pull
away from a standstill slowly after con-
firming safety around the vehicle.

CAUTION

Do not press the accelerator pedal rapidly. If
the wheels break free of the ice, the vehicle
could suddenly start moving and possibly
cause an accident.

On a bumpy or rutted road

Drive as slow as possible when driving
on bumpy or rutted roads.

CAUTION

The impact on tyres and/or wheels when
driving on a bumpy or rutted road can dam-
age the tyre and/or wheel.

staining or cracking of the surface.
If you use cleaners or polishing agents, make
sure their ingredients do not include the sub-
stances mentioned above.

Plastic, vinyl leather, fabric

and flocked parts

E00900300319

1. Gently wipe off with a sponge, gauze or

other soft cloth soaked with a 3% aque-
ous solution of neutral detergent.

2. Dip cloth in fresh water and wring it out

well. Using this cloth, wipe off the deter-
gent thoroughly.

NOTE

Do not use cleaners, conditioners, and pro-
tectants containing silicons or wax.
Such products, when applied to the instru-
ment panels or other parts, may cause reflec-
tions on the windscreen 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

E00900500076

1. To maintain the value of your new vehi-

cle, handle 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
a 3% aqueous solution of neutral deter-
gent in lukewarm water.

2. Clean the carpeting with a vacuum

cleaner and remove any stains with car-
pet cleaner. Oil and grease can be re-
moved by lightly dabbing with a clean
colourfast cloth and stain remover.

2. Dip cloth in fresh water and wring it out

well. Using this cloth, wipe off the deter-
gent thoroughly.

3. Apply leather protecting agent to the

genuine leather surface.

NOTE

If genuine leather is wet with water or is
washed in water, wipe off water as quickly
as possible with a dry, soft cloth. If left
damp, mildew may grow.

The genuine leather surface may be dam-
aged if a nylon brush or synthetic fibre is
rubbed hard against it.

Organic solvents such as benzine, kerosene,
alcohol and petrol, acid or alkaline solvents
may discolour the genuine leather surface.
Be sure to use neutral detergents.

Remove dirty patches or oil substances
quickly as they can stain genuine leather.

The genuine leather surface may harden and
shrink if it is exposed to direct sun for 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.

Cleaning the exterior of
your vehicle

E00900700108

If the following is left on your vehicle, it may
cause corrosion, discolouration and stains,
wash the vehicle as soon as possible.

Seawater, road deicing products.

Soot and dust, iron powder from facto-
ries, chemical substance (acids, alkalis,
coal-tar, etc.).

Droppings from birds, carcasses of in-
sects, tree sap, etc.

Washing

E00900903938

Chemicals contained in the dirt and dust
picked up from the road surface can damage
the paint coat and body of your vehicle if left
in prolonged contact.
Frequent washing and waxing is the best way
to protect your vehicle from this damage.
This will also be effective in protecting it
from environmental elements such as rain,
snow, salt air, etc.
Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight.
Park the vehicle in the shade and spray it
with water to remove dust. Next, using an
ample amount of clean water and a car wash-
ing brush or sponge, wash the vehicle from
top to bottom.

Use a mild car washing soap if necessary.
Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft
cloth. After washing the vehicle, carefully
clean the joints and flanges of the doors, bon-
net and other sections where dirt is likely to
remain.

CAUTION

When washing the under side of your vehi-
cle or wheel, be careful not to injure your
hands.

If your vehicle has rain sensor wipers, place
the wiper switch lever in the “OFF” position
to deactivate the rain sensor before washing
the vehicle. Otherwise, the wipers will oper-
ate in the presence of water spray on the
windscreen and may get damaged as a result.

Refrain from excessively using a car wash as
its brushes may scratch the paint surface,
causing it to lose its gloss. Scratches will be
especially visible on darker coloured vehi-
cles.

Never spray or splash water on the electrical
components in the engine compartment. Do-
ing so could have an adverse effect on the
engine startability.
