NOTE
l
Please give the empty sealant bottle to your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point when you purchase new sealant or
dispose of the sealant bottle according to na-
tional regulations for the disposal of chemi-
cal waste.
l A tyre in which puncture sealant has been
used should ideally be replaced with a new
one. If you wish to have such a tyre properly
repaired for reuse, please contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point or another specialist. Note that a
proper repair is impossible following an
emergency repair if the puncture hole cannot
be located.
l The manufacturer is unable to guarantee that
all tyre punctures can be repaired with the
tyre repair kit, in particular cuts or perfora-
tions with a diameter of more than 4 mm or
away from the tyre’s tread. The manufactur-
er is not liable for damage sustained through
improper use of the tyre repair kit.
l The manufacturer is not liable for damage
sustained through re-use of any tyre in
which tyre sealant has been used.
How to change a tyre
(Vehicles equipped with
spare tyre)
Before changing a tyre, first stop your vehi-
cle in a safe, flat location.
1. Park the vehicle on level and stable
ground, free of loose pebbles, etc.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. On vehicles with M/T, stop the engine
and move the gearshift lever to the “R”
(Reverse) position.
On vehicles with CVT, move the selec-
tor lever to the “P” (PARK) position and
stop the engine.
4. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and
set up a warning triangle, flashing signal
lamp, etc., at an adequate distance from
the vehicle, and have all your passengers
leave the vehicle.
5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when
jacking up the vehicle, place chocks or
blocks (A) at the tyre that is diagonally
opposite from the tyre (B) you are
changing.
WARNING
l
Be 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.
NOTE
l The chocks shown in the illustration do not
come with your vehicle. It is recommended
that you keep some 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 jack bar and wheel nut wrench
ready. Refer to “Tool and jack” on page
8-05.
Spare wheel information
The spare wheel is stored beneath the lug-
gage floor board of the luggage compartment.
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.).
