NOTE
l
Please give the empty sealant bottle to your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point when you purchase new sealant or dis-
pose of the sealant bottle according to nation-
al regulations for the disposal of chemical
waste.
l
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
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.
l
Wipe away any sealant that gets on the
wheel. Provided the valve is replaced with a
new one, the wheel can be reused.
l
The manufacturer is unable to guarantee that
all tyre punctures can be repaired with the
tyre repair kit, in particular cuts or perfora-
tions with a diameter of more than 4 mm or
away from the tyre's tread. The manufacturer
is not liable for damage sustained through im-
proper use of the tyre repair kit.
l
The manufacturer is not liable for damage sus-
tained through re-use of any tyre in which
tyre sealant has been used.

How to change a tyre

Before changing a tyre, first stop your vehicle in a
safe, flat location.
1. Park the vehicle on level and stable ground,
free of loose pebbles, etc.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. On vehicles with M/T, turn the ignition
switch to the "LOCK" position, move the
gearshift lever to the "R" (Reverse) position.
On vehicles with A/T, CVT or Twin Clutch
a
SST, move the selector lever (A/T or CVT)
or gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) to the
"P" (PARK) position, turn the ignition
switch to the "LOCK" position.
4. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and set
up a warning triangle, flashing signal lamp,
etc., at an adequate distance from the vehi-
cle, and have all your passengers leave the ve-
hicle.
5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when it
is raised on the jack, place chocks or blocks
(A) at the tyre that is diagonally opposite
from the tyre (B) you are changing.
