Replacing tires and wheels

CAUTION
!
Avoid using different size tires from the one listed
and the combined use of different types of tires, as
this can affect driving safety.
Refer to "Tires and wheels" on page 9-7.
Even if a wheel has the same rim size and offset as
the specified type of wheel, its shape may prevent it
from being fitted correctly. Consult an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice before using wheels that you have.
Only Mitsubishi Motors genuine wheels should be
used, because your vehicle is equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system.
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.

The following maintenance steps are recommended:
Check tire pressures regularly.
Have regular maintenance done on the wheel balance and
front and rear suspension alignment.
Rotate your tires regularly as described in the "Tire rota-
