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

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