If towing is necessary, we recommend you to
have it done by your authorised
MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer or a com-
mercial tow truck service.
In the following cases, transport the vehicle
using a tow truck.
 The engine runs but the vehicle does not
move, or an abnormal noise is produced.
 Inspection of the vehicle’s underside
reveals that oil or some other fluid is leak-
ing.
NOTE
 Confirm that the hanger disc is securely fit-
ted in the wheel disc hole when the wheel is
just lifted off the ground.
CAUTION
 The spare wheel should always be secured in
position.
If a flat tyre is changed, put the flat tyre in
the spare wheel mounting position with the
wheel outer surface upward, and use the
wheel nut wrench to secure it firmly.
 When installing the spare wheel, please
observe the following points. If you do not
follow them, it could result in breakage of
the spare wheel carrier.
• Do not use the power tool.
Use the wheel nut wrench stowed on the
vehicle.
• Do not apply a force of 200 N or more at
the end of the wheel nut wrench.
NOTE
 Overtightening the securing bolt can damage
the gear, resulting in the gear not winding up
the chain.
