The compact spare tire is stowed below theluggage compartment fl
oor. It is designed to
save space in the luggage compartment. Itslighter weight makes it easier to use if a flattire occurs.
WA R N I N GBe sure to apply choc
ks or blocks to the
correct tire when jacking up the vehicle. Ifthe vehicle moves while jacked up, thejack could slip out of
position, leading to
an accident.NOTE
The chocks shown in the illustration do notcome with your vehicl
e. It is recommended
that you purchase chocks or blocks and keepthem 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 GTires, including spar
e tire, degrade over
time with age even when they are notbeing used. It is recommended that tiresover 6 years generally
be replaced even if
damage is not obvious.CAUTIONWhile the compact spare tire is stowed, theinflation pressure shoul
d be checked at least
once a month to assure that it remains at therecommended inflation pressure. See the tireand 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 steeringor braking, if possible. Inflate the tire to thecorrect pressure as s
oon as possible. Refer to
“Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-19.The compact spare tire should be used onlytemporarily. While the compact spare tire isbeing 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 whendriving with the compact spare tire.Do not drive through automatic car washesand over obstacles that
could possibly dam-
age the underside of your vehicle. Becausethe compact spare tire is smaller than theoriginal tire, there is less clearance betweenthe ground and your vehicle.Because the compact spare tire is designedonly for your vehicle, do not use it on anyother 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 coulddamage these parts or other parts on yourvehicle.CAUTION

Normally, the catalyti
c converter does not
require maintenance. However, it is importantto keep the engine properly tuned for the con-verter to continue to work properly.To reduce the possibili
ty of catalytic con-
verter damage:Use UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY ofthe type of recommended in the “Fuelselection”.Do not drive with an extremely low fuellevel. Running out of gas could damagethe catalytic converter.
Do not try to start the engine by pushingor towing the vehicle. If the battery isweak or run down, use jumper cables toproperly start the engine.Do not idle the engine with any spark plugwires 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 frombeing damaged from unburned gas, do notrace the engine when turning off the igni-tion switch.Stop driving the vehicle if you think theperformance is noticeably low, or theengine has a malfunction such as with theignition, etc. If you are not able to stopdriving immediately,
slow down and drive
for only a short time. Have your vehiclechecked at an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice as soon
as possible.
In unusual situations involving majorengine problems, a burning odor mayindicate severe and abnormal catalyticconverter overheating.
If this occurs, stop
in a safe place, shut the engine off and letthe vehicle cool. Once
the engine is cool,
immediately take
your vehicle to an
authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice for service.
