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.).
CAUTION
l
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 10-11.)
Temporary spare wheel*
CAUTION
l
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. (The temporary spare wheel is being
used, the tyre pressure monitoring system
will not function properly.)
l
The vehicle must not be driven at speeds in
excess of 80 km/h (50 mph) while using the
temporary spare wheel.
CAUTION
l
The temporary spare wheel is not as good as
a standard wheel in controllability and sta-
bility.
When the temporary spare wheel is used,
avoid quick starts, sudden braking and sharp
steering.
l
The temporary spare wheel is specifically
designed for your vehicle and it should not
be used on any other vehicle.
l
When you purchase the temporary spare
wheel, be sure to purchase the type designed
specially for your vehicle from your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
CAUTION
l
Do not use snow traction device (tyre
chains) with your temporary spare wheel.
Because of the smaller tyre size, a snow
traction device (tyre chains) will not fit
properly. This could cause damage to the
wheel and result in loss of the snow traction
device (tyre chains).
If a front tyre becomes flat when using snow
traction device (tyre chains), first replace a
rear wheel with the temporary spare wheel
and then use the removed rear wheel to re-
place the flat front wheel so that you can
continue to use the snow traction device
(tyre chains).
l
Upon installation of the temporary spare
wheel, the ground clearance is reduced as
the tyre is smaller in diameter than the stand-
ard 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.
