3Cautions on handling of all-wheel drive
vehicles
N00530800190
Tires and wheelsSince driving torque can be applied to all four wheels, the per-
formance of the vehicle when operating in all-wheel drive is
greatly affected by the condition of the tires.
Pay close attention to the tires.

Install specified tires on all wheels. Refer to “Tires and
wheels” on page 9-9.

Be sure to fit all four tires and wheels of the same size and
type.
When replacement of any of the tires or wheels is neces-
sary, replace all of them.

All tires should be rotated whenever the wear difference
between the front and rear tires is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expected if there is a dif-
ference in wear between tires. Refer to “Tire rotation” on page
7-34.

Check the tire inflation pressure regularly.
CAUTION
!
Always use tires of the same size, same type, and
same brand, and which have no wear differences.
Using tires that differ in size, type, brands or the
degree of wear, will increase the differential oil tem-
perature, resulting in possible damage to the driving
system. Further, the drive train will be subjected to
excessive loading, possibly leading to oil leakage,
component seizure, or other serious problems.

Replacing tires and wheels
N00939600368
Tire maintenance
N00939700154
The following maintenance steps are recommended:

Check tire pressures regularly.

Have regular maintenance done on the wheel balance and
front and rear suspension alignment.

Rotate your tires regularly as described in the “Tire rota-
tion” section on page 7-34.
CAUTION
!
Avoid using different size tires and wheels from the
ones listed, and avoid the combined use of different
types of tires and wheels. Using different size or type
tires and wheels may affect driving safety.
Refer to “Tires and wheels” on page 9-9.
For All-wheel drive vehicles, always use tires of the
same size, same type, and same brand, and which
have no wear differences. Using tires 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, possibly
leading to oil leakage, component seizure, or other
serious problems.
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 correctly. Consult an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice before using wheels that you have.
Only Mitsubishi Motors genuine wheels should be
used, because your vehicle is equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system.
Use of another type of wheel risks air leaks and sen-
sor damage, as it will not be possible to install the
tire pressure sensor properly.

7Replacement of light bulbs
N00942900219
Before replacing a bulb, be sure the light is off. Do not touch
the glass part of the new bulb with your bare fingers; the oil
from your skin will stay on the glass and dim or destroy the
bulb when it gets hot.NOTE
If you are unsure of how to carry out the work as required,
it is recommended that these procedures be carried out by
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility
of your choice.

Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body when removing
a light and lens.

When it rains, or when the vehicle has been washed, the
inside of the lens sometimes becomes temporarily foggy.
This is the same phenomenon as when window glass mists
up on a humid day, and does not indicate a functional
problem.
When the light is switched on, the heat will remove the
fog. However, if water gathers inside the light, please
have it checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
Bulb capacity
N00943000099
The bulb should only be replaced with a new bulb with the
same rating and type. The type and rating are listed on the base
of the bulb.Outside
N00950300805
[Except for vehicles with high intensity discharge headlights]
CAUTION
!
Bulbs are extremely hot immediately after being
turned off.
When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool sufficiently
before touching it. You could otherwise be burned.

1. Remove the screw (A).
CAUTION
!
Handle halogen light bulbs with care. The gas inside
a halogen light bulb is highly pressurized, so drop-
ping, knocking, or scratching a halogen light bulb
can cause it to shatter.
Never hold the halogen lights bulb with a bare hand,
dirty glove, etc.
The oil from your hand could cause the bulb to
break the next time the fog lights are used.
If the glass surface is dirty, clean it with alcohol and
let it dry completely before installing the bulb.
