It is important to familiarize yourself with the
following terms:
Cold tire pressure:
• The measured pressure after the vehicle
has been parked for at least three hours,
or
• The measured pressure when the vehicle
is driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after
having been parked for three hours.
Maximum pressure: the maximum per-
missible cold tire inflation pressure for
this tire.
Recommended inflation pressure: the
inflation pressure for optimum tire perfor-
mance.
Intended outboard sidewall:
• The sidewall that contains a whitewall,
bears white lettering or bears manufac-
turer, brand, and/or model name molding
that is higher or deeper than the same
molding on the other sidewall of the tire,
or
• The outward facing sidewall of an asym-
metrical tire that has a particular side
that must always face outward when
mounted on a vehicle.
Passenger car tire: a tire intended for use
on passenger cars, multipurpose passen-
ger vehicles, and trucks that have a gross
vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of
10,000 pounds or less.
Light truck (LT) tire: a tire designated by
its manufacturer as primarily intended for
use on lightweight trucks or multipurpose
passenger vehicles.
Tread: portion of a tire that comes into
contact with the road.
Tread rib: a tread section running circum-
ferentially around a tire.
Tread separation: pulling away of the
tread from the tire carcass.
Carcass: the tire structure, except tread
and sidewall rubber which, when inflated,
bears the load.
If you are quick-charging your battery,
first disconnect the battery cables.
In order to prevent a short-circuit, be sure
to disconnect the negative (-) terminal
first, and reconnect it last.
If the electrolyte level is very low, have the
battery checked at an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil-
ity of your choice.
Battery posts, terminals and related acces-
sories contain lead and lead compounds.
Wash hands after handling.
NOTE
Check each battery terminal for corrosion.
You can prevent further corrosion by wash-
ing with a solution of baking soda and water.
Grease the posts and clamps after cleaning or
tightening them.
Ensure the battery is securely installed and
cannot be moved. Also check each terminal
for tightness.
If you will not be driving your vehicle for a
long period of time, remove the battery and
store it in a place where the battery fluid will
not freeze. The battery only should be stored
with a full charge.
Before cleaning the battery, tighten all the
filler port caps to keep dirt and moisture out.
WARNING
Tires
WARNING
Driving with tires that are worn, damaged
or improperly inflated is dangerous.
These tire conditions will adversely affect
vehicle performance.
These tire conditions can also cause a
tread separation or blowout which may
result in an accident causing serious
injury or death.
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.
