CAUTION
l
If you sense any abnormality while driv-
ing, stop the vehicle and contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point or another specialist. Other-
wise the tyre pressure may drop before
the emergency repair procedure is com-
pleted, rendering the vehicle unsafe.
NOTE
l
Driving faster than 80 km/h (50 mph) can
make the vehicle vibrate.
18. After driving for 10 minutes or 5 km
(3 miles), check the tyre pressure using the
air pressure gauge on the compressor. (Refer
to “Tyre inflation pressures” on page 8-15.)
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).
CAUTION
l
If the tyre pressure is lower than the min-
imum 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 another specialist.
19. After driving for 10 minutes or 5 km
(3 miles), check the tyre pressure using the
air pressure gauge on the compressor. (Refer
to “Tyre inflation pressures” on page 8-15.)
If the tyre pressure has apparently not drop-
ped, the emergency repair procedure is com-
plete. You must still not exceed a speed of
80 km/h (50 mph). Observe local speed limits.
CAUTION
l
Be sure to check the tyre pressure for con-
firmation that the emergency repair pro-
cedure is complete.
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 (3 miles),
then check the tyre pressure again. If the tyre
pressure has again dropped below the speci-
fied level, stop driving the vehicle and con-
tact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point or another specialist.
20. Affix the speed restriction sticker (R) to the
three-diamond mark on the steering wheel.
Then immediately drive with great care to a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point or another specialist and have tyre re-
pair/replacement performed.
CAUTION
l
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.
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.
