Overuse of the brake can cause weakening, resulting in poor brake response and prema- ture wear of the brake pads.When driving down a long or steep hill, use engine braking by downshifting.
CAUTION Always use tires of th
e same size, type, and
brand that have no wear differences. Usingtires of different size, type, brands or degreeof wear, will increase the differential oil tem- perature and result in possible damage to the driving system. Further, the drive train willbe subject to excessi
ve loading, possibly
leading to oil leakage,
component seizure, or
other serious failures.

CAUTION Do not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with the front or rear wheels on the ground (Type Aor Type B) as illustrated. This could result indamage to the drivetra
in, or unstable towing.
If you tow 4-wheel drive vehicles, use Type C or Type D equipment. Even in “4WD ECO” (Electronically con- trolled 4WD) or “AWC ECO” (S-AWC)drive mode, the vehicle cannot be towed with the front or the rear wheels on the ground.
Jacking up a 4-wheel drive vehicle
WA R N I N G Do not crank the engine while jacking up the vehicle.The tire on the ground may turn and the vehicle may roll off the jack.
Service brake Brake pedal
WA R N I N G Do not leave any obje
cts near the brake
pedal or let a floor
mat slide under it;
doing so could prevent the full pedalstroke that would be necessary in an emergency. Make sure that the pedal can be operated freely at
all times. Make sure
the floor mat is securely held in place.CAUTION It is important not to drive the vehicle with your foot resting on the brake pedal when braking is not required.
This practice can
result in very high brake temperatures, pre-mature lining wear, a
nd possible damage to
the brakes.

The compact spare tire is stowed below the luggage compartment floor. It is designed to save space in the luggage compartment. Its lighter weight ma
kes 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 vehicle. It is recommended that you purchase chocks
or blocks and keep
them in the vehicle for use if needed.  If chocks or blocks ar
e not available, use
stones or any other obj
ects that are large
enough to hold the wheel in position.

WA R N I N G Tires, including spar
e tire, degrade over
time with age even when they are not being 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 therecommended inflation pressure. See the tire and loading information 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, keep your speed down and av
oid sudden steering
or braking, if possible. Inflate the tire to the correct pressure as soon as possible. Refer to “Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-20. The compact spare tire should be used only temporarily. While th
e 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. Becausethe compact spare tire is smaller than the original tire, there is less clearance between the ground and your vehicle.

1. Loosen the wheel nuts with the wheel nut wrench. Do not remove the wheel nuts yet. 2. Place the jack under one of the jacking points (A) shown in the illustration. Use the jacking point closest to the tire you wish to change.
3. Rotate the jack by hand until the flange portion (B) fits in the groove (C) at the topof the jack. 4. Insert the bar (D) into the wheel nut wrench (E). Then put the end of the bar into the shaft’s jack end, as shown in the illustration. Slowly rotate the wheel nut wrench until the tire is raised slightly off the groundsurface.
To change a tire
WA R N I N G 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 jackmight fall over and ca
use 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.NOTE
 Put the spare wheel (if so equipped) under the vehicle body near the jack. This makes it safer if the jack slips out of position.

5. Remove the wheel nuts with the wheel nut wrench, then take the wheel off.
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 spare tire.
7. Turn the wheel nut clockwise by hand to initially tighten them. Temporarily tighten the wheel nuts byhand until the flange parts of the wheel nuts make light contact with the wheel and the wheel
is not loose.
WA R N I N GStop jacking up the ve
hicle as soon as the
tire is raised off the ground. It is danger-ous to raise the ve
hicle 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. Bothare 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 tire. No one should be
in your vehicle when
using the jack. Do not start or run
the engine while your
vehicle is on the jack. Do not turn the raised wheel. The tires that are still on the ground could turn and make your vehicle fall off the jack.CAUTION Handle the wheel carefully when changing the tire, to avoid scratching the wheel sur-face.
WA R N I N G Mount the wheel with the valve stem (I) facing outward. If you cannot see the valve stem (I), you
have installed the
wheel backwards. Operating the vehicle with the spare wheel installed backwards can cause vehicledamage and result
in an ac
cident.
