Wrap the tip of the bar with a cloth, insert it
into the notch provided in the wheel cover,
and pry the cover away from the wheel.
Using the same procedure at the other wheel
cover notches, work the wheel cover away
from the wheel to remove it completely.
1. Align the tire air valve (C) and the wheel
cover notch (D).
CAUTION
Driving with an improperly inflated tire can
cause an accident. If you have no choice but
to drive with an under-inflated tire, keep
your speed down and avoid sudden steering
or braking, if possible. Inflate the tire to the
correct pressure as soon as possible. Refer to
“Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-14.
After changing the tire and driving the vehi-
cle about 620 miles (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 tire, have the tire checked
for balance at an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice.
Do not mix one type of tire with another or
use a different size from the one listed. This
would cause early wear and poor handling.
