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 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 several 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 air
leaks. 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 9-20.

Replacing tires and wheels
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 11-7.
On all-wheel drive vehicles, always use tires
of the same size, same type, and same brand,
and which have no wear differences. Using
tires that differ in size, type, brand or the
degree of wear, will increase the differential
oil temperature, resulting in possible damage
to the driving system. Further, the drive train
will be subjected to excessive loading, possi-
bly leading to oil leakage, component sei-
zure, or other serious problems.
Only Mitsubishi Motors Authorized wheels
should be used, because your vehicle is
equipped with a tire pressure 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.
