How to change a tyre
Spare wheel information*
Check the air pressure of the spare tyre fre-
quently and make sure it is ready for emer-
gency use at any time.
Maintaining the spare wheel at the highest
specified air pressure will ensure that it can
always be used under any conditions (city/
high-speed driving, varying load weight,
etc.).
The spare wheel is stored beneath the lug-
gage floor board of the luggage compartment.

CAUTION
l The pressure should be periodically checked
and maintained at the specified pressure
while the tyre is stowed.
Driving with an insufficient tyre pressure
can lead to an accident. If you have no
choice but to drive with an insufficient tyre
pressure, keep your speed down and inflate
the tyre to the correct pressure as soon as
possible. (Refer to "Tyre inflation pressures"
on page 10-11.)
l When the tread wear indicators appear, the
tyre must be replaced.
Refer to "Wheel condition" on page 10-12.

Temporary spare wheel (spare
wheel with a speed limit label)*
The T155/90D16 size spare wheel is stored
beneath the luggage floor board of the lug-
gage compartment. It is designed to save
space in the luggage compartment and its
light weight makes it easy to handle in the
event of a flat tyre.
CAUTION
l The temporary spare wheel is for temporary
use only and should be removed as soon as
the original wheel can be repaired or re-
placed. (For vehicles that are equipped with
a tyre pressure monitoring system, while the
temporary spare wheel is being used, the
tyre pressure monitoring system will not
function properly.)
l The vehicle must not be driven at speeds in
excess of 80 km/h (50 mph) while using the
temporary spare wheel.
l The T155/90D16 size spare wheel is not as
good as a standard wheel in controllability
and stability. When the temporary spare
wheel is used, avoid quick starts, sudden
braking and sharp steering.
The tyre size of the 215/65R16 size tempo-
rary spare tyre is different from that of the
standard tyre. When the temporary spare
tyre is used, avoid quick starts, sudden brak-
ing and sharp steering.

CAUTION
l The temporary spare wheel is specifically
designed for your vehicle and it should not
be used on any other vehicle.
When you purchase a 215/65R16 size spare
wheel, be sure to purchase the type designed
specially for your vehicle from your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
l
Do not use tyre chains with your temporary
spare wheel. Because of the smaller tyre
size, a tyre chain will not fit properly. This
could cause damage to the wheel and result
in loss of the chain.
If a front tyre becomes flat when using tyre
chains, first replace a rear wheel with the
temporary spare wheel and then use the re-
moved rear wheel to replace the flat front
wheel so that you can continue to use the
chains.
