For emergencies
18. After driving for 10 minutes, check the tyre pressure using
the air pressure gauge on the compressor. (Refer to "Tyre
inflation pressures" on page 8-19.) If the tyre pressure has
apparently not dropped, the emergency repair procedure is
complete. You must still not exceed a speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph). Observe local speed limits.
NOTE
● 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 vehicle any further. Contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or another specialist.
● In cold conditions (when the ambient temperature is 0 °C
or lower), the time and driving distance necessary for
completion of the repair can be longer than in warmer
conditions, 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
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 specified level, stop driving the
6
vehicle and contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point or another specialist.

19. Then immediately drive with great care to a MITSUBI-
SHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point or another spe-
cialist and have a tyre repair/replacement performed.
CAUTION
!
● Be sure to check the tyre pressure for confirmation
that the emergency repair procedure is complete.
NOTE
● Please give the empty sealant bottle to your MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point when you purchase
new sealant, or dispose of the sealant bottle according to
national regulations for the disposal of chemical waste.
● 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.
● Wipe away any sealant that gets on the wheel. Provided
the valve is replaced with a new one, the wheel can be
reused.
