CAUTION
Your vehicle uses the flange nuts.
Change to tapered nuts when using snow
tires with steel wheels.
Only Mitsubishi Motors genuine wheels
should be used, because your vehicle is
equipped with a tire pressure monitoring sys-
tem (TPMS).
Use of another type of wheel risks air leaks
and sensor damage, as it will not be possible
to install the tire pressure sensor properly.
Tire chains
CAUTION
Tire chains cannot be used on your vehicle.
The clearance between the chains and the
body is not sufficient to allow proper clear-
ance, and the vehicle body might be dam-
aged.

If the free play is not within these limits, take
your vehicle to a certified Mitsubishi EV
dealer for adjustment.
Wiper blades
Check the wiper blades occasionally. Clean
them regularly to remove deposits of salt and
road film. Use a sponge or cloth and a mild
detergent or non-abrasive cleaner to clean the
blades and glass areas.
Replace the blades if they continue to streak

or smear.
NOTE
Do not run the wipers on dry glass for a long
time. This wears out the rubber and can
scratch the glass.
During cold weather
If the blades are frozen to the windshield or
rear window, do not operate the wipers until
the ice has melted and the blades are freed,
otherwise the wiper motor may be damaged.
