How to change a tyre

CAUTION

NOTE

If the tyre pressure is lower than the mini-

mum permitted pressure (1.3 bar {130

kPa}), the tyre cannot successfully be re-

paired with the tyre sealant. Do not drive the

vehicle any further. Contact a MITSUBISHI

MOTORS Authorized Service Point or an-

other specialist.

In cold conditions (when the ambient tem-

perature is 0 °C or lower), the time and driv-

ing distance necessary until completion of

the repair can be longer than in warmer con-

ditions, meaning that the tyre pressure can

drop below the specified level even when

you have inflated the tyre a second time and

subsequently driven the vehicle. If this hap-

pens, inflate the tyre to the specified pres-

sure once more, drive for about 10 minutes

or 5 km, then check the tyre pressure again.

If the tyre pressure has again dropped below

the specified level, stop driving the vehicle

and contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-

thorized Service Point or another specialist.

Please give the empty sealant bottle to your

MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-

ice Point when you purchase new sealant or

dispose of the sealant bottle according to na-

tional regulations for the disposal of chemi-

cal waste.

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

20. After driving for 10 minutes or 5 km,

check the tyre pressure using the air

pressure gauge on the compressor. If the

tyre pressure has apparently not drop-

ped, the emergency repair procedure is

complete. You must still not exceed a

speed of 80 km/h. Observe local speed

limits.

repaired for reuse, please contact

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.

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.

21. Immediately drive with great care to a

MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized

Service Point and have tyre repair/

replacement performed.

NOTE

If the tyre pressure has dropped below the

specified level when you check it at the end

of the repair procedure, do not drive the ve-

hicle any further. Contact a MITSUBISHI

MOTORS Authorized Service Point or an-

other specialist.

The manufacturer is not liable for damage

sustained through re-use of any tyre in

which tyre sealant has been used.

CAUTION

Be sure to check the tyre pressure for confir-

mation that the emergency repair procedure

is complete.

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. Put the select position in “P” (PARK)

position and stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV

system.

4. Have all your passengers get out of the

vehicle.

5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when

jacking up the vehicle, place chocks or

blocks (A) at the tyre that is diagonally

opposite from the tyre (B) you are

changing.

the jacking point closest to the tyre you

wish to change.

NOTE

The chocks shown in the illustration do not

come with your vehicle. It is recommended

that you keep one in the vehicle for use if

needed.

If chocks are not available, use stones or any

other objects that are large enough to hold

the wheel in position.

6. Get the jack, jack bar and wheel nut

wrench ready.

Refer to “Tools and jack” on page 9-06.

To change a tyre

1. Loosen the wheel nuts a quarter turn

with the wheel nut wrench. Do not re-

move the wheel nuts yet.

WARNING

Set the jack only at the positions shown

here. If the jack is set at a wrong position,

it could dent your vehicle or the jack

might fall over and cause personal injury.

Do not use the jack on a tilted or soft sur-

face.

Otherwise, the jack might slip and cause

personal injury. Always use the jack on a

flat, hard surface. Before setting the jack,

make sure there are no sand or pebbles

under the jack base.

WARNING

Be sure to apply chocks or blocks to the

correct tyre when jacking up the vehicle.

If the vehicle moves while jacked up, the

jack could slip out of position, leading to

an accident.

2. Place the jack under one of the jacking

points (A) shown in the illustration. Use

3. Rotate the jack by hand until the flange

portion (B) fits in the groove (C) at the

top of the jack.

Slowly rotate the wheel nut wrench until

the tyre is raised slightly off the ground

surface.

WARNING

Do not turn the raised wheel. The tyres

still on the ground could turn and make

your vehicle fall off the jack.

5. Remove the wheel nuts with the wheel

nut wrench, then take the wheel off.

CAUTION

Handle the wheel carefully when changing

the tyre, to avoid scratching the wheel sur-

face.

6. Clean out any mud, etc. on the hub sur-

face (F), hub bolts (G) or in the installa-

tion holes (H) in the wheel, and then

mount the tyre.

4. Check that the flange portion at the jack-

ing point fits in the groove at the top of

the jack.

Insert the jack bar (D) into the wheel nut

wrench (E). Then put the end of the jack

bar into the shaft’s jack end, as shown in

the illustration.

WARNING

Stop jacking up the vehicle as soon as the

tyre is raised off the ground. It is danger-

ous 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 pur-

pose other than to change a tyre.

No one should be in your vehicle when us-

ing the jack.

Do not start the Plug-in Hybrid EV sys-

tem while your vehicle is on the jack.

nuts make light contact with the wheel

and the wheel is not loose.

9. Tighten the nuts in the order shown in

the illustration until each nut has been

tightened to the torque listed here.

WARNING

Mount the wheel with the valve stem (I)

facing outboard. If you cannot see the

valve stem (I), you have installed the

wheel backwards.

Tightening torque: 88 to 108 N•m

Operating the vehicle with the wheel in-

stalled backwards can cause vehicle dam-

age and result in an accident.

CAUTION

Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts or

the nuts, or they will tighten too much.

CAUTION

Never use your foot or a pipe extension for

extra force in the wheel nut wrench. If you

do so, you will tighten the nut too much.

8. Lower the vehicle slowly by rotating the

wheel nut wrench anticlockwise until the

tyre touches the ground.

7. Turn the wheel nuts clockwise by hand

to initially tighten them.

Temporarily tighten the wheel nuts by

hand until the flange parts of the wheel

10. Lower and remove the jack, then store

the jack, flat tyre, and chocks. Have your

damaged tyre repaired as soon as possi-

ble.

Transport the vehicle on a flatbed truck or

tow the vehicle with all wheels off the

ground.

If a wheel gets stuck in a ditch, do not try to

tow the vehicle.

Please contact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS

Authorized Service Point or a commercial

tow truck service for assistance.

Refer to “Tyre pressure monitoring sys-

tem (TPMS): Reset of low tyre pressure

warning threshold” on page 7-95.

Your vehicle may be temporarily towed by

another vehicle with a rope in emergency sit-

uations such as running out of fuel.

If your vehicle is to be towed by another ve-

hicle, carefully tow your vehicle for the

shortest distance possible and in accordance

with the instructions given in “Emergency

towing” in this part.

The regulations concerning towing may dif-

fer from country to country. It is recommen-

ded that you obey the regulations of the area

where you are driving your vehicle.

CAUTION

After changing the tyre and driving the vehi-

cle about 1,000 km (620 miles), retighten the

wheel nuts to make sure that they have not

come loose.

If the steering wheel vibrates when driving

after changing the tyre, we recommend you

to have the tyres checked for balance.

Do not mix one type of tyre with another or

use a different size from the one listed. This

would cause early wear and poor handling.
