Mitsubishi MOTORS Eclipse Cross 2019, Owner'S Manual, Page: 437 / 602

CAUTION
l
If the tyre pressure is lower than the mini-
mum permitted pressure (1.3 bar {130
kPa}), the tyre cannot successfully be re-
paired with the tyre sealant. Do not drive the
vehicle any further. Contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or an-
other specialist.
20. After driving for 10 minutes or 5 km
(3 miles), check the tyre pressure using
the air pressure gauge on the compres-
sor. If the tyre pressure has apparently
not dropped, the emergency repair pro-
cedure is complete. You must still not
exceed a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
Observe local speed limits.
NOTE
l 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 ve-
hicle any further. Contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or an-
other specialist.
NOTE
l
In cold conditions (when the ambient tem-
perature is 0 °C or lower), the time and driv-
ing distance necessary until completion of
the repair can be longer than in warmer con-
ditions, 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 hap-
pens, inflate the tyre to the specified pres-
sure once more, drive for approximately 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 Authorized Serv-
ice Point or another specialist.
21. Immediately drive with great care to a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point and have tyre repair/
replacement performed.
CAUTION
l Be sure to check the tyre pressure for confir-
mation that the emergency repair procedure
is complete.
NOTE
l
Please give the empty sealant bottle to your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point when you purchase new sealant or
dispose of the sealant bottle according to na-
tional regulations for the disposal of chemi-
cal waste.
l A tyre in which puncture sealant has been
used should ideally be replaced with a new
one. If you wish to have such a tyre properly
repaired for reuse, please contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point or another specialist. Note that a
proper repair is impossible following an
emergency repair if the puncture hole cannot
be located.
l The manufacturer is unable to guarantee that
all tyre punctures can be repaired with the
tyre repair kit, in particular cuts or perfora-
tions with a diameter of more than 4 mm or
away from the tyre’s tread. The manufactur-
er is not liable for damage sustained through
improper use of the tyre repair kit.
l The manufacturer is not liable for damage
sustained through re-use of any tyre in
which tyre sealant has been used.
How to change a tyre
Before changing a tyre, first stop your vehi-
cle in a safe, flat location.
1. Park the vehicle on level and stable
ground, free of loose pebbles, etc.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
