WARNING
l
Be sure to apply chocks or blocks to the
correct tyre when jacking up the vehicle.
If the vehicle moves while jacked up, the
jack could slip out of position, leading to
an accident.
NOTE
l
The chocks shown in the illustration do not
come with your vehicle. It is recommended
that you keep one in the vehicle for use if nee-
ded.
l
If chocks are not available, use stones or any
other objects that are large enough to hold
the wheel in position.
6. Get the jack bar and wheel nut wrench ready.
Refer to “Tools and jack” on page 6-08.
Spare wheel information
E00803600442
Check the air pressure of the spare tyre frequently
and make sure it is ready for emergency use at any
time.
Maintaining the spare wheel at the highest speci-
fied air pressure will ensure that it can always be
used under any conditions (city/high-speed driving,
varying load weight, etc.).
The spare wheel is stored under the floor of the lug-
gage area.
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 8-12.)
l
When the tread wear indicators appear,
the tyre must be replaced.
Refer to “Wheel condition” on page 8-13.
Temporary spare wheel (spare wheel with a speed
limit label)*
The T155/90D16 size spare wheel is stored under
the floor of the luggage area. It is designed to save
space in the luggage area and its light weight
makes it easy to handle in the event of a flat tyre.
CAUTION
l
The temporary spare wheel is for tempo-
rary use only and should be removed as
soon as the original wheel can be re-
paired or replaced.
CAUTION
l
The vehicle must not be driven at speeds
in excess of 80 km/h (50 mph) while using
the temporary spare wheel.
l
The T155/90D16 size spare wheel is not
as good as a standard wheel in controlla-
bility and stability. When the temporary
spare wheel is used, avoid quick starts,
sudden braking and sharp steering.
Tyre size of the 215/70R16 size tyre is dif-
ferent from that of the standard tyre.
When the temporary spare tyre 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.
When you purchase a 215/70R16 size
spare wheel, be sure to purchase the type
designed specially for your vehicle from
your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.
l
Do not use tyre chains with your tempora-
ry spare wheel. Because of the smaller
tyre size, a tyre chain will not fit proper-
ly. 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 removed rear wheel to replace the
flat front wheel so that you can continue
to use the chains.
