on the compressor. If the tyre pressure has ap-
parently not dropped, the emergency repair
procedure is complete. You must still not ex-
ceed 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 vehi-
cle any further. Contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or anoth-
er specialist.
l In cold conditions (when the ambient temper-
ature is 0 °C or lower), the time and driving
distance necessary until completion of the re-
pair can be longer than in warmer conditions,
meaning that the tyre pressure can drop be-
low the specified level even when you have
inflated the tyre a second time and subsequent-
ly driven the vehicle. If this happens, inflate
the tyre to the specified pressure once more,
drive for about 10 minutes or 5 km, then
check the tyre pressure again. If the tyre pres-
sure has again dropped below the specified
level, stop driving the vehicle and contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point or another specialist.
21. Immediately drive with great care to a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point or another specialist and have tyre re-
pair/replacement performed.
CAUTION
l Be sure to check the tyre pressure for con-
firmation that the emergency repair pro-
cedure is complete.
NOTE
l Please give the empty sealant bottle to your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point when you purchase new sealant or dis-
pose of the sealant bottle according to nation-
al regulations for the disposal of chemical
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 Service
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 manufacturer
is not liable for damage sustained through im-
proper use of the tyre repair kit.
l
The manufacturer is not liable for damage sus-
tained through re-use of any tyre in which
tyre sealant has been used.

3. On vehicles with M/T, stop the engine and
move the gearshift lever to the “R” (Reverse)

On vehicles with CVT, move the selector lev-
er to the “P” (PARK) position and stop the en-
gine.
4. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and set
up a warning triangle, flashing signal lamp,
etc., at an adequate distance from the vehi-
cle, and have all your passengers leave the ve-
hicle.

ing up the vehicle, place chocks or blocks
