15. 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 fit-
ting.
If there is a gap between the tyre and
wheel because the tyre has moved inward
from the wheel rim, press the periphery of
the tyre towards the wheel to close the gap
before running the compressor. (With no
gaps, the tyre pressure will rise.)
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.
 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.

Do not disassemble or modify the compres-
sor. Also, do not subject the air pressure
gauge to shock. It could malfunction.
CAUTION
 Be careful not to get your fingers trapped
between the tyre and wheel as the tyre
inflates.
 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.
CAUTION
 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 a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorised Service Point or another special-
ist 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.
