wheel MITSUBISHI SHOGUN 2003 (in English) Repair Manual

If there are tread wear indicators on the
tyres, they will appear in six places on the
surface of the tyre as the tyre wears,
thereby indicating that the tyre no longer
meets the minimum requirement for use.
When these wear indicators do appear, the
tyres must be replaced with new ones.
Be sure that the wheel nuts are tightened
correctly. Refer to the section of this manual
entitled“For emergencies”for informa-
tion concerning replacement of the tyres.
NOTE
The mark and the location of the tyre tread
wear indicators are different depending on
tyre manufacturers.

Type 1Tyre rotation
EM60APMc
Tyre wear varies with vehicle conditions,
road surface conditions and individual driv-
er’s driving habits. To equalize the wear
and help extend tyre life, it is recom-
mended to rotate the tyres immediately
after discovery of abnormal wear, or when-
ever the wear difference between the front
and rear tyres is recognizable.
M40A028A
Type 2When rotating tyres, check for uneven wear
and damage. Abnormal wear is usually
caused by incorrect tyre pressure, improper
wheel alignment, out of balance wheel, or
severe braking. Consult your authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer to determine the cause
of irregular tread wear.

CAUTION
(1) If the tyres have arrows (A) indi-
cating the correct direction of
rotation, swap the front and rear
tyres on the left-hand side of the
vehicle and the front and rear
tyres on the right-hand side of
the vehicle separately. Keep
each tyre on its original side of
the vehicle. When fitting the
tyres, make sure the arrows
point in the direction in which
the wheels will turn when the
vehicle moves forward. Any tyre
whose arrow points in the wrong
direction will not perform to its
full potential.
(2) Avoid the combined use of dif-
ferent types of tyres.
This can affect driving safety.
Snow tyres
EL12A-DC
The use of snow tyres is recommended for
driving on snow and ice. To preserve driv-
ing stability, mount snow tyres of the same
size and tread pattern on all four wheels.
Snow tyres worn more than 50% are no
longer suitable for use as snow tyres.
Snow tyres which do not meet specifica-
tions must not be used.
CAUTION
Observe permissible maximum
speed for your snow tyres and the
legal speed limit.
NOTE
(1) The laws and regulations concerning
snow tyres (driving speed, required
use, type, etc.) vary. Find out and fol-
low the laws and regulations in driv-
ing area.
(2) If flange nuts are used on your vehicle,
change to tapered nuts when steel
wheels are used.
Tyre chains
EL23AOI
On 4WD vehicles in which the driving
power is distributed preferentially the rear
wheels, ensure that the tyre chains are fit-
ted on the rear.
Use only tyre chains which are designed for
use with the tyres mounted on the vehicle:
use of the incorrect size or type of chain
could result in damage to the vehicle body.
Before fitting tyre chains, please consult
your authorized MITSUBISHI dealer. The
maximum chain height is as follows.
Tyre size Wheel size Max. chain height
235/80R16
109S16×6JJ 22 mm
265/70R16
112H16×7JJ 22 mm
265/70R16
112S16×7JJ 22 mm
The speed limit for tyre chain is 50 km/h
(31 mph) and remove the tyre chains as
soon as possible on snow free roads.
WARNING
DO NOT use a jack when fitting the
chains, as the tyres may slip on the
icy road causing the vehicle to slip
off the jack.

Out put date:

CAUTION
(1) If your vehicle is equipped with
anti-lock brake system (ABS), in
order to ensure that the anti-lock
brake system (ABS) will oper-
ate correctly in situations where
tyre chains have been fitted,
drive in“4H”or“4L”for part
time 4WD, or in“4H”,“4HLc”or
“4LLc”for super select 4WD.
(2) Practice fitting the chains before
you need them. Don’t expect
help from other people in the
cold.
(3) Choose a clear straight stretch of
road where you can pull off and
still be seen while you are fit-
ting the chains.
(4) Do not fit chains before you need
them. This will wear out your
tyres and the road surface.
(5) After driving around 100-300
metres, stop and retighten the
chains.
(6) Care should be taken with
extremes of steering lock to pre-
vent possible contact between
the chains and the vehicle body.
(7) Drive carefully and do not
exceed 50 km/h (31 mph).
Remember, fitting chains is not
going to stop accidents from
happening.
CAUTION
( 8) When tyre chains are installed,
take care that they do not dam-
age the disc wheel or body.
( 9) An aluminium wheel can be
damaged by a tyre chain while
driving. When fitting a tyre
chain on an aluminium wheel,
take care that no part of the
chain and fitting can be
brought into contact with the
wheel disc.
(10) When installing or removing a
tyre chain, take care that hands
and other parts of your body
are not injured by the sharp
edges of the vehicle body.
(11) Install the chains only on the
rear tyres and tighten them as
tightly as possible with the
ends securely fastened.
NOTE
The laws and regulations concerning the
use of tyre chains vary. Find out and fol-
low the laws and regulations in your driv-
ing area.
In most countries, it is prohibited by law to
use tyre chains on roads without snow.
Fuel, engine coolant, oil and
exhaust gas leakage
EM14A-BD
Look under the body of your vehicle to
check for fuel, engine coolant, oil and
exhaust gas leaks.
WARNING
If you see a suspicious fuel leak or if
you smell fuel, do not operate the
vehicle; call your authorized MITSUB-
ISHI dealer for assistance.
