CAUTION
 If you sense any abnormality while driving,
stop the vehicle and contact an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Otherwise the tire
pressure may drop before the emergency
repair procedure is completed, rendering the
vehicle unsafe to drive.
17. After driving for 10 minutes or 3 miles (5
km), park the vehicle in a safe place.
Remove the air compressor from the
stowed position. Check the tire pressure
using the air pressure gauge on the com-
pressor. If the tire pressure has not
dropped, the emergency repair procedure
is complete. Proceed to step 19.
If the tire pressure is insufficient, inflate
the tire to the specified pressure again and
drive the vehicle carefully without
exceeding a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
Before driving, make sure that the com-
pressor is stowed.
CAUTION
 If the tire pressure is lower than the mini-
mum permitted pressure (18 psi {130 kPa}),
the tire cannot successfully be repaired with
the tire sealant. Do not drive the vehicle any
further. Contact an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
18. After driving for 10 minutes or 3 miles (5
km) again, check the tire pressure using
the air pressure gauge on the compressor.
If the tire pressure has not dropped, the
emergency repair procedure is complete.
Before driving, make sure that the com-
pressor is stowed. You must still not
exceed a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
Observe local speed limits.
NOTE
 If the tire 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 an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
 In cold conditions (when the ambient tem-
perature is 32 °F {0 °C} or lower), the time
and driving distance required until comple-
tion of the repair can become longer than in
warmer conditions, and the tire pressure may
drop below the specified level even after you
have inflated the tire the second time and
subsequently driven the vehicle. If this hap-
pens, inflate the tire to the specified pressure
once more, drive for approximately 10 min-
utes or 3 miles (5 km), then check the tire
pressure again. If the tire pressure has again
dropped below the specified level, stop driv-
ing the vehicle and contact an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

lations for the disposal of chemical waste.
