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.
If a wheel gets stuck in a ditch, do not try to
tow the vehicle. Please contact your author-
ised MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer or a
commercial tow truck service for assistance.
Only when you cannot receive a towing ser-
vice from an authorised MITSUBISHI
MOTORS dealer or commercial tow truck
service, tow your vehicle carefully in accord-
ance with the instructions given in “Emer-
gency towing” in this part.
The regulations concerning towing may differ
from country to country. It is recommended
that you obey the regulations of the area
where you are driving your vehicle.
CAUTION
After changing the tyre and driving the vehi-
cle about 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 tyre, have the tyre
checked for balance at your nearest author-
ised MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.
Do not mix one type of tyre with another or
use a different size from the one listed. This
would cause early wear and poor handling.
