How to change a tire

18. After driving for 10 minutes or 3 miles (5
km) again, check the tire pressure using
the air pressure gauge on the compressor.
If the tire pressure has not dropped, the
emergency repair procedure is complete.
Before driving, make sure that the com-
pressor is stowed. You must still not
exceed a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
Observe local speed limits.
NOTE
 If the tire pressure has dropped below the
specified level when you check it at the end
8
of the repair procedure, do not drive the
vehicle any further. Contact a certified Mit-
subishi EV dealer.
 In cold conditions (when the ambient tem-
perature is 32 °F {0 °C} or lower), the time
and driving distance required until comple-
tion of the repair can become longer than in
warmer conditions, and the tire pressure may
drop below the specified level even after you
have inflated the tire the second time and
subsequently driven the vehicle. If this hap-
pens, inflate the tire to the specified pressure
once more, drive for approximately 10 min-
utes or 3 miles (5 km), then check the tire
pressure again. If the tire pressure has again
dropped below the specified level, stop driv-
ing the vehicle and contact a certified Mit-
subishi EV dealer.

ground.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.

position and stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV
system.

up a warning sign, such as a warning tri-
angle or flashing signal lamp, at an ade-
quate distance from the vehicle, and have

WARNING
 Be sure to apply chocks or blocks to the
correct tire when jacking up the vehicle. If
the vehicle moves while jacked up, the
jack could slip out of position, leading to
an accident.
NOTE
 The chocks shown in the illustration do not
come with your vehicle. It is recommended
that you purchase chocks or blocks and keep
them in the vehicle for use if needed.
 If chocks or blocks are not available, use
stones or any other objects that are large
enough to hold the wheel in position.
