Wiper Blades - Mitsubishi i-MiEV 2011 Owner's Manual

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
E08403400019
If tyre chains have to be used, ensure that they are
fitted only on the drive wheels (rear) in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
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]
175/55R15 77V 15 x 5 J 14 mm
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.
l
Drive carefully and do not exceed
50 km/h (30 mph). Remember that pre-
venting accidents is not the purpose of
tyre chains.
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 no part of the chain and fitting
can be brought into contact with the wheel.
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.
NOTE
l
The laws and regulations concerning the use
of tyre chains vary. Always follow local laws
and regulations.
In most countries, it is prohibited by law to
use tyre chains on roads without snow.
