NOTE
 If all 4 aluminum wheels are changed to steel
wheels, use tapered nuts.
CAUTION
 Never use your foot or a pipe extension to
apply added force to the wheel nut wrench
when tightening the wheel nuts. If you do so,
you can over-tighten the wheel nuts and
damage the wheel, wheel nuts and hub bolts.
CAUTION
 Driving with an improperly inflated tire can
cause an accident. If you have no choice but
to drive with an under-inflated tire, keep
your speed down and avoid sudden steering
or braking, if possible. Inflate the tire to the
correct pressure as soon as possible. Refer to
“Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-16.
 After changing the tire and driving the vehi-
cle approximately 620 miles (1,000 km),
retighten the wheel nuts to make sure that
they have not come loose.
 If the steering wheel vibrates when driving
after changing the tire, have the tire checked
for balance at a certified Mitsubishi EV
dealer.
 Do not mix one type of tire with another or
use a different size from the one listed. This
would cause early wear and poor handling.
