CAUTION
 A compact spare tire (if so equipped) can be
installed temporarily in place of a tire that
has been removed during the tire rotation.
However, it must not be included in the regu-
lar tire rotation sequence.
CAUTION
 If the tires have arrows (A) indicating the
correct direction of rotation, swap the front
and rear tires on the left-hand side of the
vehicle and the front and rear tires on the
right-hand side of the vehicle separately.
Keep each tire on its original side of the
vehicle. When installing the tires, make sure
the arrows point in the direction in which the
wheels will turn when the vehicle moves for-
ward. Any tire whose arrow points in the
wrong direction will not perform to its full
potential.

CAUTION
 Avoid the combined use of different types of
tires. Using different types of tires can affect
vehicle performance and safety.
I n f o r ma t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :

Snow tires

In some areas of the country, snow tires are
required for winter driving. If snow tires are
required in your area, you must choose snow
tires of the same size and type as the original
tires provided with your vehicle. Snow tires
should also be installed on all four wheels.
Otherwise your safety and vehicle handling
can be reduced.
Even where laws may permit it, snow tires
should not be operated at sustained speeds
over 75 mph (120 km/h).
CAUTION
 If your vehicle is equipped with a tire pres-
sure monitoring system, only Mitsubishi
Motors Authorized wheels should be used.
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.

Tire chains

CAUTION
 Tire chains cannot be used on your vehicle.
The clearance between the chains and the
body is not sufficient to allow proper clear-
ance, and the vehicle body might be dam-
aged.
