16. Turn OFF the compressor switch, then
pull the power cord plug out of the socket.
17. Affix the speed restriction sticker (Q) to
the three-diamond mark on the steering
wheel.
18. When you have inflated the tyre to the
specified pressure, stow the compressor,
bottle, and other items in the vehicle and
promptly start driving the vehicle so that
the tyre sealant can spread evenly in the
tyre. Drive with great care. Do not exceed
a speed of 80 km/h. Observe local speed
limits.
19. After driving for 10 minutes or 5 km,
check the tyre pressure using the air pres-
sure gauge on the compressor. If the tyre
pressure has apparently not dropped, the
emergency repair procedure is complete.
Continue the process from step 21.
If the tyre pressure is not sufficient, inflate
the tyre to the specified pressure again
and drive the vehicle carefully without
exceeding a speed of 80 km/h.
 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.
 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
 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 repair.
Please contact an authorised MITSUBISHI
MOTORS dealer or another specialist in this
event.
NOTE
 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 pro-
cedure is completed (through step 19 or step
20 of these instructions).
CAUTION
CAUTION
 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.
CAUTION
 If you sense any abnormality while driving,
stop the vehicle and contact an authorised
MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer or another
specialist. Otherwise the tyre pressure may
drop before the emergency repair procedure
is completed, rendering the vehicle unsafe.
NOTE
 Driving faster than 80 km/h can make the
vehicle vibrate.
CAUTION
 If the tyre pressure is lower than the mini-
mum permitted pressure (1.3 bar {130 kPa}),
the tyre cannot successfully be repaired with
the tyre sealant. Do not drive the vehicle any
further. Contact an authorised MITSUBISHI
MOTORS dealer or another specialist.
