The compact spare tire is stored under the
luggage floor board of the luggage compart-
ment. It is designed to save space in the lug-
gage compartment. Its lighter weight makes it
easier to use if a flat tire occurs.

Compact spare tire
WARNING
Tires, including the spare tire, degrade
over time with age even when they are not
being used. It is recommended that tires
over 6 years old generally be replaced
even if damage is not obvious.
CAUTION
While the compact spare tire is stowed, the
inflation pressure should be checked at least
once a month to assure that it remains at the
recommended inflation pressure. See the tire
and loading information placard attached to
the driver’s door sill. Refer to “Tire and load-
ing information placard” on page 11-3.
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 9-15.
The compact spare tire should be used only
temporarily. While the compact spare tire is
being used, the tire pressure monitoring sys-
tem will not function properly. Have the tire
replaced or repaired at an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility
of your choice as soon as possible.
Do not go over 50 mph (80 km/h) when driv-
ing with the compact spare tire.
Avoid sudden starting and braking when
driving with the compact spare tire.
Do not drive through automatic car washes
and over obstacles that could possibly dam-
age the underside of your vehicle. Because
the compact spare tire is smaller than the
original tire, there is less clearance between
the ground and your vehicle.
Because the compact spare tire is designed
only for your vehicle, do not use it on any
other vehicle.
Do not put the compact spare tire on a differ-
ent wheel, and do not put standard tires,
snow tires, wheel covers or trim rings on the
compact spare tire. Otherwise, you could
damage these parts or other parts on your
vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not use tire chains with your compact
spare tire. Using a chain could cause damage
to your vehicle and loss of the chains.
