Use only tyre chains which are designed for use
with the tyres mounted on the vehicle: use of the in-
correct size or type of chain could result in damage
to the vehicle body.
Before fitting tyre chains, we recommend you to
consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point. The max. chain height is as follows.
Tyre size Wheel size
Max. chain
height [mm]
245/40R18 93Y 18x8 1/2JJ 9
When driving with tyre chains on the tyres, do not
drive faster than 50 km/h (30 mph). When you
reach roads that are not covered in snow, immedi-
ately remove the tyre chains.
CAUTION
l
Practice
fitting the chains before you
need them. Don’t expect help from other
people in the cold.
l
Choose a clear straight stretch of road
where you can pull off and still be seen
while you are fitting the chains.
l
Do not fit chains before you need them.
This will wear out your tyres and the
road surface.
l
After driving around 100-300 metres,
stop and retighten the chains.
l
Drive cautiously and do not exceed
50 km/h (30 mph). Remember that pre-
venting accidents is not the purpose of
tyre chains.
l
When tyre chains are installed, take care
that they do not damage the disc wheel or
body.
CAUTION
l
Do not install a tyre chain on an emergen-
cy wheel which is compact in size.
If one of the rear wheels has punctured,
replace it with one of the front wheels
and install the compact spare wheel in
that place before fitting a tyre chain.
l
An aluminium wheel can be damaged by
a tyre chain while driving. When fitting a
tyre chain on an aluminium wheel, take
care that any part of the chain and fitting
cannot be brought into contact with the
wheel.
l
When installing or removing the tyre
chains, take care that hands and other
parts of your body are not injured by the
sharp edges of the vehicle body.
NOTE
l
The
laws and regulations concerning the use
of tyre chains vary. Always follow local laws
and regulations.
In most countries, it is prohibited by the law
to use of tyre chains on roads without snow.
