The compact spare tire is stowed below the luggage compartment fl
oor. It is designed to
save space in the luggage compartment. Itslighter weight makes it easier to use if a flat tire occurs.
WA R N I N G Be sure to apply choc
ks or blocks to the
correct tire when jacking up the vehicle. If the vehicle moves while jacked up, the jack could slip out of
position, leading to
an accident.NOTE
 The chocks shown in the illustration do not come with your vehicl
e. It is recommended
that you purchase chocks or blocks and keep them in the vehicle for use if needed.  If chocks or blocks
are not available, use
stones or any other obj
ects that are large
enough to hold the wheel in position.
Spare tire information Compact spare tire
WA R N I N G Tires, including spar
e tire, degrade over
time with age even when they are notbeing used. It is recommended that tires over 6 years generally
be replaced even if
damage is not obvious.CAUTION While the compact spare tire is stowed, the inflation pressure shoul
d be checked at least
once a month to assure that it remains at the recommended inflation pressure. See the tire and loading informati
on placard attached to
the driver’s door sill. Refer to “Tire and load- ing information placard” on page 11-3.
 Driving with an imprope
rly inflated tire can
cause an accident. If
you have no choice but
to drive with an under-inflated tire, keepyour speed down and avoid sudden steering or braking, if possible. Inflate the tire to the correct pressure as s
oon as possible. Refer to
“Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-18. The compact spare tire should be used only temporarily. While the compact spare tire is being used, the tire pr
essure monitoring sys-
tem will not function pr
operly. Have the tire
replaced or repaired at an authorized Mit- subishi Motors dealer or
a repair facility of
your choice as soon as possible. Do not go over 50 mph (80 km/h) when driv- ing with the compact spare tire. Avoid sudden starting and braking when driving with the compact spare tire. Do not drive through automatic car washes and over obstacles that
could possibly dam-
age the underside of your vehicle. Because the compact spare tire is smaller than the original tire, there is less clearance betweenthe ground and your vehicle. Because the compact spare tire is designed only for your vehicle, do not use it on any other vehicle. Do not put the compact spare tire on a differ- ent wheel, and do not put standard tires, snow tires, wheel covers
or trim rings on the
compact spare wheel. Otherwise, you could damage these parts or other parts on your vehicle.CAUTION

If your vehicle becomes
stuck in snow, sand,
or mud, it can often be moved by a rockingmotion. Rock your vehicle back and forth to free it. Do not rev the engine or spin the wheels.Constant efforts to free a stuck vehicle can cause overheating and tr
ansaxle failure. Let
the engine idle for a few minutes to cool thetransaxle before trying again. If your vehicle is still
stuck after several rock-
ing attempts, call for a commercial tow truckservice.
 When driving on a road covered with snow or ice, use s
now tires. Tire chains
cannot be used on your vehicle. There may be state or local regulations aboutusing snow tires. Always check the regu- lations in your local area before using them. Refer to “Snow tires” on page 9-20and “Tire chains” on page 9-21.  Drive slowly. Do not make sudden starts or stops, sharp turns, or slam on the brakes.  Allow extra distance between your vehi- cle and the vehicle in front of you, and avoid sudden braking.  If a skid occurs when the accelerator pedal is depressed, take your foot off the pedal. 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 will result in reduced braking performance.
Towing a front-wheel drive vehi- cle with front wheels off the ground (Type C) Operation under adverse driving conditions If your vehicle becomes stuck in sand, mud or snow
WA R N I N G When trying to rock
your vehicle out of a
stuck position, make sure that there are nopeople nearby. The
rocking motion can
make your vehicle suddenly lurch forward or backward, and inju
re any bystanders.
On wet roads
CAUTIONAvoid flooded roads. Water is often deeper than it looks, and you could be seriously hurtby driving into flood water. When driving in rain, on water-covered roads, or through a car
wash, water could get
into the brake discs and make them fail tem- porarily. In such cases, lightly press thebrake pedal to see if they are working prop- erly. If they are not, press the pedal lightly several times while driving to dry the brakepads 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 orbrake 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.

The catalytic converter requires you to useunleaded fuel only. Leaded gasoline willdestroy the emission-control effectiveness of the converter. Normally, the
catalytic converter does not
require maintenance. Ho
wever, it is important
to keep the engine properly tuned for the con- verter to continue to work properly.
Service precautions A- Cooling fans B- Caution label
*: Front of the vehicleWA R N I N G When checking or servicing the inside of the engine compartment, be sure theengine is stopped and has had a chance to cool down. If you need to work

To reduce the possibili
ty of catalytic con-
verter damage:  Use UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY of the type of recommended in the “Fuel selection”. Do not drive with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of gas could damage the catalytic converter. Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle. If the battery is weak or run down, use jumper cables toproperly start the engine.
 Do not idle the engine with any spark plug wires disconnected or removed, such aswhen performing
diagnosti
c tests.
 Do not idle the engine
for a long time if it
is idling roughly or otherwise obviouslymalfunctioning.  To prevent the catalytic converter from being damaged from unburned gas, do notrace the engine when turning off the igni- tion switch.  Stop driving the vehicle if you think the performance is noticeably low, or the engine has a malfunction such as with theignition, etc. If you are not able to stop driving immediately,
slow down and drive
for only a short time. Have your vehiclechecked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon
as possible.
 In unusual situations involving major engine problems, a burning odor may indicate severe and abnormal catalyticconverter overheating.
If this occurs, stop
in a safe place, shut the engine off and let the vehicle cool. Once
the engine is cool,
immediately take your
vehicle to a dealer
or a repair facility of your choice for ser- vice.

The best way to keep carbon monoxide gas from entering inside your
vehicle is to have
the engine exhaust syst
em properly serviced.
Have a competent mechanic inspect the com- plete exhaust system
and nearby body areas
for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or mispo- sitioned parts if you no
tice any of the follow-
ing:  A change in the sound of the exhaust sys- tem  The smell of exhaust fumes inside the vehicle The underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged
Also check the exhaust system each time the vehicle is raised for l
ubrication, oil changes,
or required service. A
ny open seams or loose
connections could le
t dangerous exhaust
fumes seep into the
luggage and passenger
compartments.
 Check for holes or exhaust gas leaks caused by corrosion or damage. Check the joints and connections for looseness or exhaust gas leaks.  Check the rubber hangers and brackets for damage.
