CAUTION
l When you purchase the temporary spare
wheel, be sure to purchase the type designed
specially for your vehicle from your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
l Do not use snow traction device (tyre
chains) with your temporary spare wheel.
Because of the smaller tyre size, a snow
traction device (tyre chains) will not fit
properly. This could cause damage to the
wheel and result in loss of the snow traction
device (tyre chains).
If a front tyre becomes flat when using snow
traction device (tyre chains), first replace a
rear wheel with the temporary spare wheel
and then use the removed rear wheel to re-
place the flat front wheel so that you can
continue to use the snow traction device
(tyre chains).
CAUTION
l Upon installation of the temporary spare
wheel, the ground clearance is reduced as
the tyre is smaller in diameter than the stand-
ard tyre.
When passing over the projections on the
road, take care not to damage the vehicle’s
undercarriage.
l Do not install more than one temporary
spare wheel at the same time.
To remove the spare wheel

hanger installation bolt covers (A) with
the jack bar.

CAUTION
l Be careful as you loosen the tyre hanger in-
stallation bolt. If you loosen it too far, the
hook may come out and let the spare wheel
fall.
3. Lift up the tyre hanger (B) at the section
indicated by the arrow in the diagram,
remove it from the hook (C), lower it,
and then take the tyre off the tyre hang-
er.
