Snow tyres
The use of snow tyres is recommended for
driving on snow and ice. To preserve driving
stability, mount snow tyres of the same size
and tread pattern on all 4 wheels.
A snow tyre that is worn down more than
50 % is no longer appropriate to use.
Snow tyres which do not meet specifications
must not be used.
CAUTION
l Observe permissible maximum speed for
your snow tyres and the legal speed limit.
l If your vehicle is equipped with a tyre pres-
sure monitoring system, only MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE wheels should be
used.
Use of another type of wheel risks air leaks
and sensor damage, as it will not be possible
to install the tyre pressure sensor properly.
Refer to “Tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS)” on page 6-43.
NOTE
l The laws and regulations concerning snow
tyres (driving speed, required use, type, etc.)
vary. Find out and follow the laws and regu-
lations in the area you intend to drive.

chains)

be used, ensure that they are fitted only on
the drive wheels (front) in accordance with

When driving with a snow traction device
(tyre chains) on the tyres, do not drive faster
than 50 km/h (30 mph). When you reach
roads that are not covered in snow, immedi-
ately remove the snow traction device (tyre
chains).
CAUTION
l Choose a clear straight stretch of road where
you can pull off and still be seen while you
are fitting the snow traction device (tyre
chains).
l Do not fit snow traction device (tyre chains)
before you need them. This will wear out
your snow traction device (tyre chains) and
the road surface.
l After driving around 100-300 meters, stop
and retighten the snow traction device (tyre
chains).
l Drive carefully and do not exceed 50 km/h
(30 mph). Remember that preventing acci-
dents is not the purpose of snow traction de-
vice (tyre chains).
l When snow traction device (tyre chains) are
installed, take care that they do not damage
the disc wheel or body.
l Do not install a snow traction device (tyre
chains) on an emergency wheel which is
compact in size. If one of the front wheels
has punctured, replace it with one of the rear
wheels and install the compact spare wheel
in that place before fitting a snow traction
device (tyre chains).
