Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback, Owner'S Manual, Page: 339 / 433

WARNING
l Stop jacking up the vehicle as soon as the
tyre is raised off the ground. It is danger-
ous to raise the vehicle any higher.
l Do not get under your vehicle while using
the jack.
l Do not bump the raised vehicle or leave it
sitting on the jack for a long time. Both
are very dangerous.
l Do not use a jack except the one that
came with your vehicle.
l The jack should not be used for any pur-
pose other than to change a tyre.
l No one should be in your vehicle when us-
ing the tyre.
l
Do not start or run the engine while your
vehicle is on the jack.
l Do not turn the raised wheel. The tyres
still on the ground could turn and make
your vehicle fall off the jack.
5. Remove the wheel nuts with the wheel nut
wrench, then take the wheel off.
CAUTION
l Handle the wheel carefully when chang-
ing the tyre, to avoid scratching the wheel
surface.
6. Clean out any mud, etc. on the hub surface
(F), hub bolts (G) or in the installation holes
(H) in the wheel, and then mount the spare
tyre.
WARNING
l Mount the spare wheel with the valve
stem (I) facing outboard. If you cannot
see the valve stem (I), you have installed
the wheel backwards.
Operating the vehicle with the spare
wheel installed backwards can cause vehi-
cle damage and result in an accident.
7. Finger-tighten the wheel nuts.
Vehicle equipped with steel wheels
Tighten the wheel nuts (tapered nuts) un-
til the tapered parts of the wheel nuts
make light contact with the seats of the
wheel holes and the wheel is not loose.
With a spare wheel, tighten the wheel
nuts in the same way.
Vehicle equipped with aluminium wheels
Tighten the wheel nuts (flange nuts) until
the flanges of the wheel nuts touch the
wheel and the wheel is not loose.
