charge the auxiliary battery yourself.

Flammable gases may leak and explode.

CAUTION

There is a type of auxiliary battery is not

properly installed in the vehicle, even if the

same specification.

When replacing the auxiliary battery, please

contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-

ized Service Point.

Communicate the wireless LAN device and

your vehicle again.

Tyres

NOTE

When the auxiliary battery is removed, the

controlling timer for forcibly starting the en-

gine may be reset.

WARNING

Driving with tyres that are worn, dam-

aged or improperly inflated can lead to a

loss of control or blow out of the tyres

which can result in a collision with serious

or fatal injury.

Since a fuel injection device may cause a

clogging if the state where the engine does

not operate continues after reset of the timer,

please select the battery charge mode in or-

der to start the engine. However, if the drive

battery level is nearly full, the engine may

not start even though the battery charge

mode is selected.

In that case, activate the battery charge mode

again after the drive battery quantity decrea-

ses. Refer to “SAVE/CHARGE mode

switch” on page 7-27.

Check the tyre inflation pressure of all the tyres while they are cold; if insufficient or excessive, adjust to the specified value.

After the tyre inflation pressure has been adjusted, check the tyres for damage and air leaks. Be sure to put caps on the valves.

NOTE

The tyres that can be installed on your vehicle are shown on the driver’s door label. For details, contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

Tyres

Wheel condition

CAUTION

Always use tyres of the same size, same

type, and same brand, and which have no

wear differences. Using tyres of different

size, type, brands or degree of wear, will in-

crease the differential oil temperature, result-

ing in possible damage to the driving sys-

tem. Further, the drive train will be subjected

to excessive loading, possibly leading to oil

leakage, component seizure, or other serious

faults.

As your vehicle is equipped with a tyre pres-

sure monitoring system, only MITSUBISHI

MOTORS GENUINE 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 tyre pressure sensor

properly.

Refer to “Tyre pressure monitoring system

(TPMS)” on page 7-92.

NOTE

Replacing tyres and wheels

A steel wheel with diameter of 16 inches

cannot be used on your vehicle because it in-

terferes with brake parts.

Additionally, an aluminium wheel with di-

ameter of 16 inches may not be used on your

vehicle depending on its type, even if a

MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE wheel.

Consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-

ized Service Point before using wheels that

you have.

listed and the combined use of different

types of tyres, as this can affect driving safe-

ty.

Refer to “Tyres and wheels” on page 12-08.

The use of worn tyres can be very dangerous

because of the greater chance of skidding or

hydroplaning. The tread depth of the tyres

must exceed 1.6 mm in order for the tyres to

meet the minimum requirement for use.

Tread wear indicators will appear on the sur-

face of the tyre as the tyre wears, thereby in-

dicating that the tyre no longer meets the

minimum requirement for use. When these

wear indicators appear, the tyres must be re-

placed with new ones.

Even if a wheel has the same rim size and

offset as the specified type of wheel, its

shape may prevent it from being fitted cor-

rectly. We recommend you to consult a spe-

cialist before using wheels that you have.

Tyre rotation

Tyre wear varies with vehicle conditions,

road surface conditions and individual driv-

er’s driving habits. To equalize the wear and

help extend tyre life, it is recommended to ro-

tate the tyres immediately after discovery of

abnormal wear, or whenever the wear differ-

ence between the front and rear tyres is rec-

ognizable.

When replacement of any of the tyres is nec-

essary, replace all of them.

Tyres

When rotating tyres, check for uneven wear

and damage. Abnormal wear is usually

caused by incorrect tyre pressure, improper

wheel alignment, out of balance wheel, or se-

vere braking. We recommend you to have it

checked to determine the cause of irregular

tread wear.

Snow tyres

CAUTION

The use of snow tyres is recommended for

driving on snow and ice. To preserve driving

stability, mount snow tyres of the same size

and tread pattern on all 4 wheels.

A snow tyre that is worn down more than

50% is no longer appropriate to use.

Snow tyres which do not meet specifications

must not be used.

If the tyres have arrows (A) indicating the

correct direction of rotation, swap the front

and rear tyres on the left-hand side of the ve-

hicle and the front and rear tyres on the

right-hand side of the vehicle separately.

Keep each tyre on its original side of the ve-

hicle. When fitting the tyres, make sure the

arrows point in the direction in which the

wheels will turn when the vehicle moves for-

ward. Any tyre whose arrow points in the

wrong direction will not perform to its full

potential.

Tyres that do not have arrows showing rotation

direction

Snow traction device (tyre

chains)

If snow traction device (tyre chains) have to

be used, ensure that they are fitted only on

the drive wheels (front) in accordance with

the manufacturer’s instructions.

On 4WD vehicles in which the driving power

is distributed preferentially to the front

wheels, ensure that the snow traction device

(tyre chains) are fitted on the front.

Use only snow traction device (tyre chains)

which are designed for use with the tyres

mounted on the vehicle: use of the incorrect

size or type of snow traction device (tyre

chains) could result in damage to the vehicle

body.

CAUTION

When snow traction device (tyre chains) are

installed, take care that they do not damage

the disc wheel or body.

An aluminium wheel can be damaged by a

snow traction device (tyre chains) while

driving. When fitting a snow traction device

(tyre chains) on an aluminium wheel, take

care that any part of the snow traction device

(tyre chains) and fitting cannot be brought

into contact with the wheel.

When installing or removing a snow traction

device (tyre chains), take care that hands and

other parts of your body and not injured by

the sharp edges of the vehicle body.

When driving with a snow traction device

(tyre chains) on the tyres, do not drive faster

than 50 km/h (30 mph). When you reach

roads that are not covered in snow, immedi-

ately remove the snow traction device (tyre

chains).

NOTE

Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-

ized Service Point before putting on a snow

traction device (tyre chains). The max. snow

traction device (tyre chains) height is as fol-

lows.

The laws and regulations concerning the use

of snow traction device (tyre chains) vary.

Always follow local laws and regulations.

In most countries, it is prohibited by the law

to use of snow traction device (tyre chains)

on roads without snow.

CAUTION

Choose a clear straight stretch of road where

you can pull off and still be seen while you

are fitting the snow traction device (tyre

chains).
