CAUTION
 Driving with an improperly inflated tire can
cause an accident. If you have no choice but
to drive with an under-inflated tire, keep
your speed down and avoid sudden steering
or braking, if possible. Inflate the tire to the
correct pressure as soon as possible. Refer to
"Tire inflation pressures" on page 9-20.
 After changing the tire and driving the vehi-
cle about 620 miles (1,000 km), retighten the
wheel nuts to make sure that they have not
come loose.
 If the steering wheel vibrates when driving
after changing the tire, have the tire checked
for balance at an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice.
 Do not mix one type of tire with another or
use a different size from the one listed. This
would cause early wear and poor handling.
To store the spare tire
(if so
equipped)
1. Place the tire on the center of the tire
hanger, with the wheel surface facing
upwards.
CAUTION
 Storing the tire with the wheel surface facing
down may damage the wheel or tire hanger.
If you find any damage on a spare tire, do not
use the tire and contact an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice.
2. Lift up the tire hanger (A) and hook it on
the hook (B).
CAUTION
 Make sure you hook the tire hanger in the
N00832300046
proper position. If the tire hanger is not
hooked properly, the hook could damage the
vehicle body or the tire could fall off the
vehicle while driving, causing an accident.
How to change a tire
3. With the wheel nut wrench, firmly tighten
the tire hanger mounting bolt by turning it
clockwise.
CAUTION
 Confirm that the tire hanger is firmly secured
after storing the spare tire. If the tire hanger
is not secured, it could drop out while driv-
ing, causing an accident.
 When hooking or unhooking the tire hanger,
be sure to hold the tire hanger firmly to pre-
vent it from dropping on your foot.
4. Install the cover over the tire hanger
mounting bolt.
