CAUTION
l
If the compressor becomes sluggish or
hot while operating, it is overheating. Im-
mediately place the switch in the OFF po-
sition and let the compressor cool down
for at least 30 minutes.
NOTE
l
If the tyre pressure does not rise to the speci-
fied level within 10 minutes, the tyre may be
so severely damaged that the tyre sealant can-
not be used to effect an emergency repair.
Please contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point or another specialist
in this event.
16. Turn OFF the compressor switch, then pull
the power cord plug out of the socket.
NOTE
l
Simply putting sealant and air into the tyre us-
ing the tyre repair kit does not seal the punc-
ture hole. Air will leak through the puncture
hole until the emergency repair procedure is
completed (through step 19 of these instruc-
tions).
17. When you have inflated the tyre to the speci-
fied pressure, stow the compressor, bottle,
and other items in the vehicle and promptly
start driving the vehicle so that the tyre seal-
ant can spread evenly in the tyre. Drive with
great care. Do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph). Observe local speed limits.
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.
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
{130 kPa}), the tyre cannot successfully
be repaired 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 8-13.)
If the tyre pressure has apparently not drop-

For emergencies
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.
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.
