CAUTION
l
The compressor is designed to run on a vehi-
cle’s 12 V power supply. Do not connect it
to any other power source.
l The compressor is not waterproof. If you use
it in rain, make sure water does not get on it.
l Any sand or dust sucked into the compressor
could make the compressor break down. Do
not place the compressor directly on any
sandy or dusty surface when using it.
l Do not disassemble or modify the compres-
sor. Also, do not subject the air pressure
gauge to shock. It could malfunction.
16. Check and adjust the tyre pressure with
reference to the air pressure gauge on the
compressor. If you overinflate the tyre,
release air by loosening the hose’s end
fitting.
If there is a gap between the tyre and
wheel because the tyre has moved in-
ward from the wheel rim, press the pe-
riphery of the tyre towards the wheel to
close the gap before running the com-
pressor. (With no gaps, the tyre pressure
will rise.)
CAUTION
l Be careful not to get your fingers trapped be-
tween the tyre and wheel as the tyre inflates.
CAUTION
l
The surface of the compressor will get hot
while the compressor is running. Do not
keep the compressor running continuously
for more than 10 minutes. After using the
compressor, wait for the compressor to cool
before using it again.
l If the compressor becomes sluggish or hot
while operating, it is overheating. Immedi-
ately place the switch in the OFF position
and let the compressor cool down for at least
30 minutes.
NOTE
l If the tyre pressure does not rise to the speci-
fied level within 10 minutes, the tyre may be
so severely damaged that the tyre sealant
cannot be used to effect an emergency re-
pair. Please contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or an-
other specialist in this event.
17. Turn OFF the compressor switch, then
pull the power cord plug out of the sock-
et.
NOTE
l
Simply putting sealant and air into the tyre
using the tyre repair kit does not seal the
puncture hole. Air will leak through the
puncture hole until the emergency repair
procedure is completed (through step 20 or
step 21 of these instructions).
18. Affix the speed restriction sticker (R) to
the three-diamond mark on the steering
wheel.
CAUTION
l Do not affix the sticker anywhere except the
specified position on the pad of the steering
wheel. Affixing the sticker in an incorrect
position could prevent the SRS airbag from
working normally.
19. When you have inflated the tyre to the
specified pressure, stow the compressor,
