How To Change A Tyre - Mitsubishi ASX 2019 Owner's Manual

NOTE
l A tyre in which puncture sealant has been
used should ideally be replaced with a new
one. If you wish to have such a tyre properly
repaired for reuse, please
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point or another specialist. Note that a
proper repair is impossible following an
emergency repair if the puncture hole cannot
be located.
l Wipe away any sealant that gets on the
wheel. Provided the valve is replaced with a
new one, the wheel can be reused.
l The manufacturer is unable to guarantee that
all tyre punctures can be repaired with the
tyre repair kit, in particular cuts or perfora-
tions with a diameter of more than 4 mm or
away from the tyre's tread. The manufactur-
er is not liable for damage sustained through
improper use of the tyre repair kit.
l The manufacturer is not liable for damage
sustained through re-use of any tyre in
which tyre sealant has been used.

How to change a tyre

Before changing a tyre, first stop your vehi-
cle in a safe, flat location.
1. Park the vehicle on level and stable
ground, free of loose pebbles, etc.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. On vehicles with M/T, stop the engine
and move the gearshift lever to the "R"
(Reverse) position.
On vehicles with CVT, move the selec-
tor lever to the "P" (PARK) position and
contact a
stop the engine.
4. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and
set up a warning triangle, flashing signal
lamp, etc., at an adequate distance from
the vehicle, and have all your passengers
leave the vehicle.
NOTE
l The warning triangle and flashing signal
lamp do not come with your vehicle. It is
recommended that you keep one in the vehi-
cle for use if needed.
5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when
it is raised on the jack, place chocks or
blocks (A) in front of and behind the
tyre that is diagonally opposite from the

correct tyre when jacking up the vehicle.
If the vehicle moves while jacked up, the
jack could slip out of position, leading to

come with your vehicle. It is recommended
that you keep one in the vehicle for use if
needed.
If chocks or blocks are not available, use
