16. After driving for 10 minutes, check the tyre pressure using
the air pressure gauge on the compressor.
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 (50 mph).
17. After driving for 10 minutes, check the tyre pressure using
the air pressure gauge on the compressor. (Refer to “Tyre
inflation pressures” on page 8-18.) If the tyre pressure has
apparently not dropped, the emergency repair procedure is
complete. You must still not exceed a speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph). Observe local speed limits.
NOTE
●
If the tyre pressure has dropped below the specified level
when you check it at the end of the repair procedure, do
not drive the vehicle any further. Contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or other specialist.
●
In cold conditions (when the ambient temperature is 0 °C
or lower), the time and driving distance necessary until
completion of the repair can be longer than in warmer
conditions, meaning that the tyre pressure can drop below
the specified level even when you have inflated the tyre a
second time and subsequently driven the vehicle. If this
happens, inflate the tyre to the specified pressure once
more, drive for about 10 minutes or 5 km (3 miles), then
check the tyre pressure again. If the tyre pressure has
again dropped below the specified level, stop driving the
vehicle and contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point or other specialist.
CAUTION
!
●
If the tyre pressure is lower than the minimum per-
mitted pressure (1.3 bar {130 kPa}), the tyre cannot
successfully be repaired with the tyre sealant. Do not
drive the vehicle any further. Contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point
or other specialist.
