If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow, sand,or mud, it can often be moved by a rocking motion. Rock your vehicle back and forth tofree it. Do not rev the engine or spin the wheels. Constant efforts to free a stuck vehicle cancause overheating and transaxle failure. Let the engine idle for a few minutes to cool the transaxle before trying again.If your vehicle is still stuck after several rock- ing attempts, call for a commercial tow truck service.
Towing the vehicle by a tow truck
CAUTION This vehicle must not be towed by a tow truck using sling lift type equipment (Type A) as illustrated. Using a sling lift will dam-age the bumper and front end.Do not tow all-wheel drive vehicles with this style.
 This vehicle must not be towed with the driv- ing wheels on the ground
(Type B) as illus-
trated. This could result in damage to the driving system. Do not tow all-wheel drive vehicles with the rear wheels on the ground (Type C) as illus-trated. This could result in damage to the driving system or the vehicle lurching for- ward while being towed.If you tow all-wheel drive vehicles, use only Type D or E equipment. [For front-wheel drive vehicle equipped with the active stability control (ASC)] If the vehicle is towed with the ignitionswitch in the “ON” position or the operation mode in ON and only the front wheels raised off the ground (Type C), the ASC may oper-ate, resulting in an accident. When towing the vehicle with the front wheels raised, keep the ignition switch or the operation mode asfollows. [Except for vehicles equipped with the F. A . S . T. - k e y ]The ignition switch is in “OFF” or “ACC” position. [Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key] The operation mode is in OFF or ACC.CAUTION

 When driving on a road covered with snow or ice, use snow tires. Tire chains cannot be used on your vehicle. Theremay be state or local regulations about using snow tires. Always check the regu- lations in your local area before usingthem. Refer to “Snow tires” on page 9-18 and “Tire chains” on page 9-18.  Drive slowly. Do not make sudden starts or stops, sharp turns, or slam on thebrakes.  Allow extra distance between your vehi- cle and the vehicle in front of you, andavoid sudden braking.  If a skid occurs when the accelerator pedal is depressed, take your foot off thepedal. Steer gently in the direction of the skid.  Your vehicle is equipped with an anti-lock braking system (ABS). Hold the brake pedal down firmly and keep it depressed. Do not pump the brake pedal which willresult in reduced braking performance.  After parking on snowy or icy roads, it may be difficult to move your vehicle dueto the brake being frozen. Depress the accelerator pedal little by little to move the vehicle when safe to do so.
 Drive as slow as poss
ible when driving on
bumpy, rutted roads or over potholes.
N00860600031
WA R N I N G When trying to rock your vehicle out of a stuck position, make sure that there are no people nearby. The rocking motion can make your vehicle suddenly lurch forward or backward, and injure any bystanders.
On wet roads
CAUTION Avoid flooded roads. Water is often deeper than it looks, and you could be seriously hurt by driving into flood water. When driving in rain, on water-covered roads, or through a car wash, water could getinto the brake discs and make them fail tem- porarily. In such cases, lightly press the brake pedal to see if they are working prop-erly. If they are not, press the pedal lightly several times while driving to dry the brake pads or linings, then check them again. When driving in rain, a layer of water may form between the tires and the road surface(hydroplaning). This loosens your tires’ grip on the road, making it difficult to steer or brake properly. When driving on a wet road:• Drive your vehicle at a safe speed.• Do not drive on worn tires.• Always keep the tires at the correct infla- tion pressures.
On snowy or icy roads
CAUTION Do not depress the accelerator pedal rapidly. The vehicle could start moving when it breaks free from the ice, possibly resulting in an accident.
On a bumpy or rutted road
CAUTION Driving on bumpy, rutted roads or over pot- holes can damage the tires and wheels. Wheels with low-profile tires or under- inflated tires are especially at risk for dam-age.
Fuel Pump Shut-off System
WA R N I N G Before attempting to restart the engine after a collision, always inspect the ground under the vehicle for leaking fuel. If a fuel leak is found or a fuel odor is detected, donot restart the engine.

EXAMPLE: DOT MA L9 ABCD 1504
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tiregraded 150 would wear one and one-half (11/2) times as well on the government course
as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions oftheir use, however, and may depart signifi- cantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differ-ences in road characteristics and climate. The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement asmeasured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poortraction performance.
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B and C, representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditionson a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reducetire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corre- sponds to a level of performance which allpassenger car tires must meet under the Fed-eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel thanthe minimum required by law.
N00939302008
Proper tire inflation pressure is essential forthe safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle. The wrong tire pressure will cause problems in three major areas:  Safety Too little pressure increases flexing in the tire and can cause tire failure. Too much pressure can cause a tire to lose its abilityto cushion shock. Objects on the road and potholes could then cause tire damage that may result in tire failure.

 Economy The wrong tire pressure can cause uneven wear patterns in the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce thetread life, and the tire will have to be replaced sooner. Too little pressure also makes it harder forthe tire to roll, and this uses up more fuel.  Ride comfort and vehicle stability The superior riding experience built intoyour vehicle partly depends on the correcttire pressure. Too much pressure gives an uncomfortable and jarring ride. Too little pressure feels as if your vehicle is slow torespond. Unequal tire pressures can make steering your vehicle uneven and unpredictable.
The tire pressure for your vehicle under nor- mal driving conditions is listed on the placard attached to the driver’s door sill. (Refer to “Tire and loading information plac-ard” on page 11-3.) The recommended infl
ation pressures under
normal driving conditions should be used forthe tires listed below.
Tire pressures should be checked, and adjusted if necessary, at least once a month. Pressures should be checked more often whenever weather temperatures changeseverely, because tire pressures change with outdoor temperatures. The pressures listed are always “cold inflation pressure”.Cold inflation pressure is measured after the vehicle has been parked for at least three hours or is driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km)after having been parked for three hours.Cold inflation pressure must not go above the maximum values molded into the tire side- wall. After driving several miles, your tireinflation pressure may increase 2 to 6 psi (14 to 41 kPa) from the cold inflation pressure. Do not let air out of the tires to get back to thespecified cold pressure, or your tires will be too low. Check your tires each time you refuel. If onetire looks lower than the others, check the pressure for all of them. You should also take the following safety pre-cautions:
 Keep your tires inflated to the recom- mended pressures. (See the tire and load- ing information placard attached to the driver’s door sill.) Stay within the recommended load limits.  Make sure that the weight of any load in your vehicle is evenly distributed. Drive at safe speeds.  After filling your tires to the correct pres- sure, check them for damage and airleaks. Be sure to reinstall the caps on thevalve stems.

Replacing tires and wheels
CAUTION Avoid using different si
ze tires from the one
listed and the combined use of different types of tires, as this can affect drivingsafety. Refer to “Tires and wheels” on page 11-7. On all-wheel drive vehicles, always use tires of the same size, same type, and same brand, and which have no wear differences. Usingtires that differ in size, type, brand or the degree of wear, will increase the differential oil temperature, resulting in possible damage to the driving system. Further, the drive train will be subjected to excessive loading, possi-bly leading to oil leakage, component sei- zure, or other serious problems.

The following maintenance steps are recom- mended:  Check tire pressures regularly.  Have regular maintenance done on the wheel balance and front and rear suspen-sion alignment.
 Rotate your tires regularly as described in the “Tire rotation” section on page 9-17.
N00939800184
Tread wear indicators are built into the origi- nal equipment tires on your vehicle to help you know when your tires should be replaced.Many states have laws requiring that you replace your tires at this point. These indicators are molded into the bottomof the tread grooves and will appear when the tire tread is worn down to 1/16 inch (1.6 mm).When the bands appear next to one another in two or more places, replace your tires.
N00939901560
To even out the wear on your tires and make them last longer, Mitsubishi Motors Corpora-tion recommends that you rotate your tires at the mileage listed in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.However, the timing for tire rotation may vary according to your vehicle condition, road surface conditions, and your own per-sonal driving habits. Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate your tires as soon as pos- sible. When rotating tires, check for uneven wear, damage, and wheel alignment. Abnormal wear is usually caused by a wrong tire pres- sure, wheels that are not aligned properly,wheels that are out-of-balance, or severe braking. Check with an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a repair faci
lity of your choice to
find out the reason for uneven tread wear. The first tire rotation is the most important one. It will allow all your tires to wear evenly.
 Only Mitsubishi Motors Authorized wheels should be used, because your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring sys- tem. Use of another type of wheel risks air leaksand sensor damage, as it will not be possible to install the tire pressure sensor properly.NOTE
 On vehicles with Electric parking brake, 16 inch steel wheels cannot be used on yourvehicle because they interfere with brake parts. Additionally, 16 inch aluminum wheels maynot be used on your vehicle depending on the type, even if they are Mitsubishi Motors Genuine wheels.Consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer with specific questions on wheels that can be used on your vehicle.
