*- If the spare tyre wheel differs from the standard
tyre wheel, do not perform tyre rotation using a
spare wheel.
CAUTION
l
A
temporary spare tyre can be fitted tem-
porarily in place of a tyre that has been re-
moved during the tyre rotation. However,
it must not be included in the regular tyre
rotation sequence.
l
If the tyres have arrows (A) indicating
the correct direction of rotation, swap the
front and rear tyres on the left-hand side
of the vehicle and the front and rear tyres
on the right-hand side of the vehicle sepa-
rately. Keep each tyre on its original side
of the vehicle. When fitting the tyres,
make sure the arrows point in the direc-
tion in which the wheels will turn when
the vehicle moves forward. Any tyre
whose arrow points in the wrong direc-
tion will not perform to its full potential.
Front
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
E01002000754
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 pat-
tern 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.
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
E01002101736
If tyre chains have to be used, ensure that they are
fitted
only on the drive wheels (front) in accord-
ance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
On 4WD vehicles in which the driving power is dis-
tributed
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 in-
correct size or type of chain could result in damage
to the vehicle body.
Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point before putting on tyre chains. The
max. chain height is as follows.
Tyre size Wheel size
Max. chain
height [mm]
215/65R16
16 x 6 1/2 J
16 x 6 1/2 JJ
9 mm
215/60R17 17 x 6 1/2 j
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, immedi-
ately 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.
l
Do not fit chains before you need them.
This will wear out your tyres and the
road surface.
l
After driving around 100-300 metres,
stop and retighten the chains.
