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 four wheels.
Snow tyres worn more than 50 % are no
longer suitable for use as snow tyres.
Snow tyres which do not meet specifications
must not be used.

It is recommended that snow chains are car-
ried in snow regions and fitted when required
to the rear wheels.
On 4WD vehicles in which the driving power
is distributed preferentially to the rear wheels,
ensure that the tyre chains are fitted on the
rear.
The tyres fitted to your vehicle as original
equipment allow you to fit tyre chains if they
are required. When replacing your tyres,
check with the tyre distributor or manufac-
turer if the fitting of tyre chains will be detri-
mental to the tyres being purchased.
Always follow the chain manufacturer’s
instructions when fitting the chains.
CAUTION
 If the tyres have arrows (A) indicating the
correct direction of rotation, swap the front
and rear tyres on the left hand side of the
vehicle and the front and rear tyres on the
right hand side of the vehicle separately.
Keep each tyre on its original side of the
vehicle. When fitting the tyres, make sure
the arrows point in the direction in which the
wheels will turn when the vehicle moves for-
ward. Any tyre whose arrow points in the
wrong direction will not perform to its full
potential.
CAUTION
 Avoid the combined use of different types of
tyres.
Using different types of tyres can affect vehi-
cle performance and safety.
Front
Snow tyres
CAUTION
 Observe permissible maximum speed for
your snow tyres and the legal speed limit.
 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 inflation pressure sensors
properly.
Refer to “Tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS)” on page 6-117.
NOTE
 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.
 If flange nuts are used on your vehicle,
change to tapered nuts when steel wheels are
used.
Tyre chains
WARNING
 DO NOT use a jack when fitting the
chains, as in the conditions, the tyres may
slip on the icy road causing the vehicle to
slip off the jack.
