Before repairing a tyre, first stop your vehicle
in a safe, flat location.
1. Park the vehicle on level and stable
ground.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. Move the selector lever to the “P”
(PARK) position, and stop the engine.
4. Turn on the hazard flashers and set up a
warning triangle, flashing signal lamp,
etc., at an adequate distance from the
vehicle, and have all your passengers
leave the vehicle.
5. Take out the tyre repair kit.
6. Take the valve cap (C) off the tyre valve
(D), then press the valve remover (E) onto
the valve as illustrated. Allow all of the
air in the tyre to escape.
7. Remove the valve insert (F) by turning it
anticlockwise using the valve remover
(E). Put the removed valve insert in a
clean place so it does not get dirty.
• The tyre has completely slipped over the
wheel rim and come off the wheel.
• The wheel is damaged.
Use the tyre sealant only at ambient tempera-
tures of -30 °C to + 60 °C.
Effect an emergency repair without pulling
out the object (nail, screw, etc.) that is stuck
in the tyre.
Do not use the tyre sealant if the tyre has
been damaged by being driven when insuffi-
ciently inflated (e.g. bumps, cuts, cracks etc.
on the tyre).
Wipe tyre sealant off the paintwork immedi-
ately with a damp cloth.
Immediately wash clothes contaminated with
tyre sealant.
Check the tyre sealant’s expiry date regu-
larly, and be sure to purchase a new one from
an authorised MITSUBISHI MOTORS
dealer before the expiry date.
NOTE
CAUTION
If there is any air left in the tyre when you
remove the valve insert, the valve insert may
fly out and injure you. Make sure the tyre
contains no air before removing the valve
insert.
