WARNINGlBe sure to apply chocks or blocks to the
correct tyre when jacking up the vehicle.If the vehicle moves while jacked up, the
jack could slip out of position, leading to
an accident.NOTEl The chocks shown in the illustration do not
come with your vehicle. It is recommended
that you keep one in the vehicle for use if needed.
l If chocks are not available, use stones or any
other objects that are large enough to hold the wheel in position.
6. Get the spare wheel, jack, jack handle
and wheel nut wrench ready.
Refer to “Tool, jack and jack handle” on page 8-07.
Spare wheel information
E00803600266
Check the air pressure of the spare tyre fre-quently and make sure it is ready for emer-
gency use at any time.
Maintaining the spare wheel at the highest specified air pressure will ensure that it can
always be used under any conditions (city/ high-speed driving, varying load weight,etc.).
The spare wheel is stored on the outside of
the backdoor. (Refer to “To remove the spare wheel” on page 8-10).
1- Spare wheel
CAUTIONl The tyre pressure should be periodically
checked and maintained at the specified
pressure while the tyre is stowed.
Driving with an insufficient tyre pressure can lead to an accident. If you have nochoice but to drive with an insufficient tyre
pressure, keep your speed down and inflate the tyre to the correct pressure as soon as
possible. (Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures”
on page 10-11.)To remove the spare wheel

Using the jack handle, turn the releasevalve anticlockwise slowly to lower thevehicle until the tyre touches the ground.WARNINGl Be sure to open the release valve slowly. If
it is opened quickly, the vehicle will drop
abruptly and the jack may come out of
position, causing a serious accident.
11. Tighten the nuts crisscross in 2 or 3
steps until each nut has been tightened
securely.

Tightening torque
105 to 125 N•m
(Achieved by applying a force of 390
to 460 N at the end of the wheel nut wrench supplied with the vehicle.)CAUTIONl Never use your foot or a pipe extension for
extra force in the wheel nut wrench. If you
do so, you will tighten the nut too much.
12. Lower the jack all the way and remove
it.
CAUTIONl If the release valve is loosened too much (2
or more turns) in the anticlockwise direction, the jack’s oil will leak and the jack cannotbe used.CAUTIONl Close the release valve slowly when lower-
ing the vehicle, or the valve may be dam-
aged.NOTEl Occasionally when the vehicle is jacked up,
the grooved portion of the designated pointwill not come off. When this happens, rock
the vehicle to lower the ram.

next gasstation. The correct pressures
are shown on the driver’s door label. See the illustration.
15. On vehicles with tyre pressure monitor-
ing system (TPMS), after filling your tyres to the correct pressure, reset the tyre pressure monitoring system(TPMS).
Refer to “Tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem (TPMS): Reset of low tyre pressure
warning threshold” on page 6-51.
CAUTIONl After changing the tyre and driving the vehi-
cle about 1,000 km (620 miles), retighten the
wheel nuts to make sure that they have not come loose.
l If the steering wheel vibrates when driving
after changing the tyre, we recommend you to have the tyres checked for balance.CAUTIONl Do not mix one type of tyre with another or
use a different size from the one listed. This
would cause early wear and poor handling.To store the flat tyre or spare
tyre

TowingE00801505888
If your vehicle needs to be tow- ed
If towing is necessary, we recommend you to have it done by your MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or a
commercial tow truck service.

In the following cases, transport the vehicle
using a tow truck.
l The engine runs but the vehicle does not
move or abnormal noise is produced.
l Inspection of the vehicle’s underside re-
veals that oil or some other fluid is leak- ing.
If a wheel gets stuck in a ditch, do not try to tow the vehicle. Please contact your author-
ized MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer or a
commercial tow truck service for assistance.

Only when you cannot receive a towing serv-
ice from a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point or commercial tow truck service, tow your vehicle carefully in accord-
ance with the instructions given in “Emer- gency towing” in this part.

The regulations concerning towing may dif-
fer from country to country. It is recommen-
ded that you obey the regulations of the area where you are driving your vehicle.Towing the vehicle by a tow
truckCAUTIONl This vehicle must not be towed by a tow
truck using sling lift type equipment (Type A) as illustrated. Using a sling lift will dam-age the bumper and front end.
l Be sure to shift the transfer shift lever to
“2H” position and transport the vehicle with the driving wheels on a carriage (Type C, D
or E) as illustrated. Never try to tow with the transfer shift lever in “4H”, “4HLc” or “4LLc” positions and with the front or rearwheels on the ground (Type B or Type C) as illustrated. This could result in driving sys-
tem damage or the vehicle may jump at the
carriage. If you cannot shift the transfer shift lever to the “2H” position or the transmis-sion is malfunctioning or damaged, transport the vehicle with all wheels on a carriage
(Type D or E) as illustrated.
l As your vehicle equipped with the Active
Stability & Traction Control system (ASTC), if the vehicle is towed with the ig-
nition switch in the “ON” position and only
the front wheels or only the rear wheels raised off the ground, the active Traction
Control System may operate, resulting in an accident.
Towing
8-16OVWX17E1For emergencies8

CAUTIONlIf you tow the vehicles with the driving
wheels on the ground (Type B) as illustrated,
make sure that the towing speed and dis-
tance given below are never exceeded, caus-
ing damage to the transmission.

Petrol-powered vehicles
Towing speed: 50 km/h (31 mph)
Towing distance: 50 km (31 miles)

Diesel-powered vehicles
Towing speed: 30 km/h (19 mph)
Towing distance: 80 km (50 miles)

For the towing speed and the towing dis- tance, follow the local driving laws and reg- ulations.
Towing with front wheels off
the ground (Type B)
Place the selector lever in the “N” (NEU-TRAL) position.
Release the parking brake.
CAUTIONl Never tow an
A/T vehicle with the front
wheels up (and the rear wheels on the
ground) (Type B) when the A/T fluid level is low. This may cause serious and expensive damage to the transmission.Towing with rear wheels off the
ground (Type C)
Place the selector lever in the “N” (NEU- TRAL) position. Turn the ignition key to the
“ACC” position and secure the steering wheel in a straight-ahead position with a ropeor tiedown strap. Never place the ignition
switch in the “LOCK” position when towing.
Emergency towing
If towing service is not available in an emer-gency, your vehicle may be temporarily tow-ed by a rope secured to the towing hook.If your vehicle is to be towed by another ve-
hicle or if your vehicle tows another vehicle, pay careful attention to the following points:
If your vehicle is to be towed by
another vehicle
1. The front towing hooks (A) and rear
towing hooks (B) are located as shown
in the illustrations. Secure the tow rope
to the towing hook.
Rear
NOTEl Using a wire rope or metal chain can result
in damage to the vehicle body. It is best to use a non-metallic rope. If you use a wire
rope or metal chain, wrap it with cloth at any
point where it touches the vehicle body.
l Take care that the tow rope is kept as hori-
zontal as possible. An angled tow rope can
damage the vehicle body.
Towing
8-17OVWX17E1For emergencies8 Front

NOTElSecure the tow rope to the same side towing
hook, to keep the tow rope as straight as pos-
sible.
2. Keep the engine running.
If the engine is not running, turn the ig-
nition switch to the “ACC” or “ON” po- sition to unlock the steering wheel.
CAUTIONl When the engine is not running, the brake
booster and power steering pump do not op- erate. This means higher brake depression
force and higher steering effort are required. Therefore, vehicle operation is more difficult
than usual.
l Do not leave the key in the “LOCK” posi-
tion. The steering wheel will lock, causing
loss of control.
3. Place the selector lever in the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position.
4. Shift the transfer shift lever to “2H” po-
sition.
5. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if re-
quired by law. (Follow the local driving
laws and regulations.)
6. During towing make sure that close con-
tact is maintained between the drivers of
both vehicles, and that the vehicles trav- el at low speed.
CAUTIONl Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration
and sharp turning; such operation could
cause damage to the towing hooks or the tow
rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured as a
result.
l When towing or being towed down a long
slope, the brakes may overheat reducing the effectiveness. In this situation, have your ve-hicle transported by a tow truck.
l When the vehicle is to be towed by another
vehicle with all the wheels on the ground,make sure that the towing speed and dis-
tance given below are never exceeded,
avoiding damage to the transmission.

Petrol-powered vehicles
Towing speed: 50 km/h (31 mph)
Towing distance: 50 km (31 miles)

Diesel-powered vehicles
Towing speed: 30 km/h (19 mph)
Towing distance: 80 km (50 miles)

For the towing speed and the towing dis- tance, follow the local driving laws and reg- ulations.If your vehicle tows another ve-
hicle
Only use the rear towing hook as shown in
the illustration. Secure the tow rope to the rear towing hook.
CAUTIONl When you are going to tow another vehicle,
move the transfer shift lever to “4H” posi-
tion.
Selecting “2H” drive may increase the dif- ferential oil temperature, resulting in possi-
ble 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 faults.
