Clutch Pedal Free Play - Mitsubishi Colt Owner's Manual

The speed limit for tyre chain is 50 km/h (30 mph)
and remove the tyre chains as soon as possible on
snow free roads.
WARNING
l DO NOT use a jack when fitting the
chains, as in thsee conditions, the tyres
may slip on the icy road causing the vehi-
cle to slip off the jack.
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.
l Care should be taken with extremes of
steering lock to prevent possible contact
between the chains and the vehicle body.
l
Drive carefully and do not exceed
50 km/h (30 mph). Remember, fitting
chains is not going to stop accidents from
happening.
l When tyre chains are installed, take care
that they do not damage the disc wheel or
body.
CAUTION
l
Do not install a tyre chain on an emergen-
cy wheel which is compact in size. If one
of the front wheels has punctured, re-
place it with one of the rear wheels and in-
stall the compact spare wheel in that
place before fitting a tyre chain.
l An aluminium wheel can be damaged by
a tyre chain while driving. When fitting a
tyre chain on an aluminium wheel, take
care that any part of the chain and fitting
cannot be brought into contact with the
wheel.
l Remove the wheel covers before instal-
ling a tyre chain, otherwise they may be
damaged by the tyre chain. (Refer to
"Wheel covers" on page 6-17.)
l When installing or removing the tyre
chains, take care that hands and other
parts of your body are not injured by the
sharp edges of the vehicle body.
l Install the chains only on the rear tyres
and tighten them as tightly as possible
with the ends securely fastened.
NOTE
l The laws and regulations concerning the use
of tyre chains vary. Find out and follow the
laws and regulations of the area you're driv-
ing in.
In most countries, it is prohibited by law to
use tyre chains on roads without snow.
