CAUTION
 Never use your foot or a pipe extension to
apply added force to the wheel nut wrench
when tightening the wheel nuts. If you do so,
you can over-tighten the wheel nuts and
damage the wheel, wheel nuts and hub bolts.
10. Lower the jack all the way and remove it.
11. Check the tire inflation pressure. The rec-
ommended tire pressure for your vehicle
is listed on the tire and loading informa-
tion placard attached to the driver's door
sill as shown in the illustration. Refer to
"Tire inflation pressures" on page 9-15.
CAUTION
 Driving with an improperly inflated tire can
cause an accident. If you have no choice but
to drive with an under-inflated tire, keep
your speed down and avoid sudden steering
or braking, if possible. Inflate the tire to the
correct pressure as soon as possible. Refer to
"Tire inflation pressures" on page 9-15.
 After changing the tire and driving the vehi-
cle about 620 miles (1,000 km), retighten the
wheel nuts to make sure that they have not
come loose.
 If the steering wheel vibrates when driving
after changing the tire, have the tire checked
for balance at an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice.
 Do not mix one type of tire with another or
use a different size from the one listed. This
would cause early wear and poor handling.
