Mitsubishi ASX 2016

CAUTION
l
Avoid the combined use of different types of
tyres.
Using different types of tyres can affect ve-
hicle performance and safety.
Snow tyres
E01002001852
The use of snow tyres is recommended for
driving on snow and ice. To preserve driving
stability, mount snow tyres of the same size
and tread pattern on all 4 wheels.
A snow tyre that is worn down more than
50% is no longer appropriate to use.
Snow tyres which do not meet specifications
must not be used.
CAUTION
l
Observe permissible maximum speed for
your snow tyres and the legal speed limit.
l
As your vehicle is equipped with a tyre pres-
sure monitoring system, only MITSUBISHI
MOTORS 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 tyre inflation pressure sensors
properly.
Refer to “Tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS)*” on page 6-59.
NOTE
l
The laws and regulations concerning snow
tyres (driving speed, required use, type, etc.)
vary. Find out and follow the laws and regu-
lations in the area you intend to drive.
l
If flange nuts are used on your vehicle,
change to tapered nuts when steel wheels are
used.
Tyre chains
E01002103121
If tyre chains have to be used, ensure that
they are fitted only on the drive wheels
(front) in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
On 4WD vehicles in which the driving power
is distributed preferentially to the front
wheels, ensure that the tyre chains are fitted
on the front.
Use only tyre chains which are designed for
use with the tyres mounted on the vehicle:
use of the incorrect size or type of chain
could result in damage to the vehicle body.
Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point before putting on tyre
chains. The max. chain height is as follows.

: Except for vehicles for Russia, Kazakh-
stan and Ukraine
CAUTION
l
For vehicles for Russia, Kazakhstan and Uk-
raine that are equipped with the 18 inch tyre,
chains cannot be used. There is an insuffi-
cient gap between the chains and the body,
so the vehicle could be damaged.
When driving with tyre chains on the tyres,
do not drive faster than 50 km/h (30 mph).
When you reach roads that are not covered in
snow, immediately remove the tyre chains.
CAUTION
l
Practice fitting the chains before you need
them. Don’t expect help from other people
in the cold.
l
Choose a clear straight stretch of road where
you can pull over and still be seen while you
are fitting the chains.
