Spare Wheel - Mitsubishi MOTORS Colt 2007 Owner's Manual

8. Slowly turn the jack handle until the tyre is raised slightly
off the ground surface.
WARNING
!
● Stop jacking up the vehicle as soon as the tyre is
raised off the ground. It is dangerous to raise the
vehicle any higher.
● Do not get under your vehicle while using the jack.
● Do not bump the raised vehicle or leave it sitting on
the jack for a long time. Both are very dangerous.
● Do not use a jack except the one that came with your
vehicle.
● The jack should not be used for any purpose other
than to change a tyre.
● No one should be in your vehicle when using the
jack.
● Do not start or run the engine while your vehicle is
on the jack.
● Do not turn the raised wheel. The tyres still on the
ground could turn and make your vehicle fall off the
jack.

Spare wheel

Check the air pressure of the spare tyre frequently and make
sure it is ready for emergency use at any time.
Maintaining the spare wheel at the highest specified air pres-
sure 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 luggage floor board of
the luggage compartment.
Compact spare wheel
The compact spare tyre is designed to save space in the lug-
gage compartment and its lighter weight makes it easier to use
if a flat tyre occurs.
CAUTION
!
● The pressure should be periodically checked and
maintained at the specified pressure while the tyre is
stowed.
Driving with insufficient tyre pressure can lead to an
accident. If you have no choice but to drive with
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 8-19.)
● The compact spare wheel is for temporary use only
and should be removed as soon as the original wheel
can be repaired or replaced.
