CAUTION
l
If you sense any abnormality while driving,
stop the vehicle and contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or an-
other specialist. Otherwise the tyre pressure
may drop before the emergency repair pro-
cedure is completed, rendering the vehicle
unsafe.
NOTE
l
Driving faster than 80 km/h (50 mph) can
make the vehicle vibrate.

19. 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. Continue the process
from step 21.
If the tyre pressure is not sufficient, in-
flate the tyre to the specified pressure
again and drive the vehicle carefully
without exceeding a speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph).

For emergencies
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 about 10 minutes
or 5 km (3 miles), then check the tyre pres-
sure again. If the tyre pressure has again
dropped below the specified level, stop driv-
ing the vehicle and contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or an-
other 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.
