4. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and

set up a warning triangle, flashing signal

lamp, etc., at an adequate distance from

the vehicle, and have all your passengers

leave the vehicle.

NOTE

The vehicle has been driven with the tyre

almost completely flat.

The tyre has completely slipped over the

wheel rim and has come off the wheel.

The wheel is damaged.

•

5. Take out the tyre repair kit.

6. Take the valve cap (C) off the tyre valve

(D), then press the valve remover (E)

onto the valve as illustrated. Allow all of

the air in the tyre to escape.

Use the tyre sealant only at ambient temper-

atures of -30 °C to + 60 °C.

Effect an emergency repair without pulling

out the object (nail, screw, etc.) that is stuck

in the tyre.

Do not use the tyre sealant if the tyre has

been damaged by being driven when insuffi-

ciently inflated (e.g. bumps, cuts, cracks etc.

on the tyre).

Wipe tyre sealant off the paintwork immedi-

ately with a damp cloth.

Immediately wash clothes contaminated

with tyre sealant.

Check the tyre sealant’s expiry date regular-

ly, and be sure to purchase a new one from a

MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-

ice Point before the expiry date.

CAUTION

If there is any air left in the tyre when you

remove the valve insert, the valve insert may

fly out and injure you. Make sure the tyre

contains no air before removing the valve in-

sert.

8. Shake the tyre sealant bottle well.

7. Remove the valve insert (F) by turning it

anticlockwise using the valve remover

(E). Put the removed valve insert in a

clean place so it does not get dirty.

Before repairing a tyre, first stop your vehicle

in a safe, flat location.

1. Park the vehicle on level and stable

ground.

2. Set the parking brake firmly.

3. Put the select position in “P” (PARK)

position and stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV

system.

squeeze it again and again to inject all of

the sealant into the tyre.

NOTE

In cold conditions (when the ambient tem-

perature is 0 °C or lower), thickening of the

tyre sealant can make the tyre sealant hard to

squeeze out of the bottle. Warm the bottle in-

side the vehicle.

9. Take the cap (G) off the tyre sealant bot-

tle (H). Do not remove the seal (I).

Screw the filler hose (J) onto the bottle

(H). As you screw the filler hose onto

the bottle, the seal will break, allowing

the sealant to be used.

NOTE

When removing and screwing in the valve

insert using the valve remover, turn the

valve remover by hand. Using a tool to turn

the valve remover could damage it.

NOTE

When injecting the sealant, position the

valve away from the bottom, i.e., away from

the point where the tyre touches the ground.

If the valve is near the point where the tyre

touches the ground, the sealant may not go

into the tyre easily.

11. After injecting the sealant, pull the hose

off the valve, remove any residual seal-

ant from the valve, rim and/or tyre. Fit

the valve insert (F) into the valve (D),

and screw the valve insert securely into

place using the valve remover (E).

CAUTION

If you shake the bottle after screwing on the

hose, sealant may spray out of the hose.

10. Press the hose onto the valve (D). Hold-

ing the sealant bottle upside-down,

12. After injecting the sealant, securely fit

the valve remover (E) into the end of the

filler hose (J) to prevent sealant from

leaking from the empty bottle.

Pull out the compressor’s power cord

(N), insert the plug on the cord into the

accessory socket (O), and then put the

operation mode of the power switch in

ACC. (Refer to “Accessory socket*” on

page 8-75.)

CAUTION

The supplied compressor is designed only

for inflation of your vehicle tyres.

The compressor is designed to run on a vehi-

cle’s 12 V power supply. Do not connect it

to any other power source.

Turn ON the compressor switch (P) and

inflate the tyre to the specified pressure.

(Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures” on

page 11-10.)

The compressor is not waterproof. If you use

it in rain, make sure water does not get on it.

Any sand or dust sucked into the compressor

could make the compressor break down. Do

not place the compressor directly on any

sandy or dusty surface when using it.

Do not disassemble or modify the compres-

sor. Also, do not subject the air pressure

gauge to shock. It could malfunction.

13. Pull out the compressor hose (K) from

the side of the tyre compressor, and then

securely attach the hose to the tyre valve

(D).

15. Check and adjust the tyre pressure with

reference to the air pressure gauge on the

compressor. If you overinflate the tyre,

release air by loosening the hose’s end

fitting.

If there is a gap between the tyre and

wheel because the tyre has moved in-

ward from the wheel rim, press the pe-

riphery of the tyre towards the wheel to

close the gap before running the com-

pressor. (With no gaps, the tyre pressure

will rise.)

CAUTION

Be careful not to get your fingers trapped be-

tween the tyre and wheel as the tyre inflates.

14. Place the compressor (L) with its air

pressure gauge (M) on top.

bottle, and other items in the vehicle and

promptly start driving the vehicle so that

the tyre sealant can spread evenly in the

tyre. Drive with great care. Do not ex-

ceed a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). Ob-

serve local speed limits.

CAUTION

NOTE

The surface of the compressor will get hot

while the compressor is running. Do not

keep the compressor running continuously

for more than 10 minutes. After using the

compressor, wait for the compressor to cool

before using it again.

If the compressor becomes sluggish or hot

while operating, it is overheating. Immedi-

ately place the switch in the OFF position

and let the compressor cool down for at least

30 minutes.

Simply putting sealant and air into the tyre

using the tyre repair kit does not seal the

puncture hole. Air will leak through the

puncture hole until the emergency repair

procedure is completed (through step 19 or

step 20 of these instructions).

CAUTION

17. Affix the speed restriction sticker (Q) to

the three-diamond mark on the steering

wheel.

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

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

cannot be used to effect an emergency re-

Driving faster than 80 km/h (50 mph) can

make the vehicle vibrate.

19. After driving for 10 minutes or 5 km,

check the tyre pressure using the air

pressure gauge on the compressor. If the

tyre pressure has apparently not drop-

ped, the emergency repair procedure is

complete. Continue the process from

step 21.

16. Turn OFF the compressor switch, then

pull the power cord plug out of the sock-

et.

CAUTION

Do not affix the sticker anywhere except the

specified position on the pad of the steering

wheel. Affixing the sticker in an incorrect

position could prevent the SRS airbag from

working normally.

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.

18. When you have inflated the tyre to the

specified pressure, stow the compressor,

How to change a tyre

CAUTION

NOTE

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.

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, then check the tyre pressure again.

If the tyre pressure has again dropped below

the specified level, stop driving the vehicle

and contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-

thorized Service Point or another specialist.

Please give the empty sealant bottle to your

MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-

ice Point when you purchase new sealant or

dispose of the sealant bottle according to na-

tional regulations for the disposal of chemi-

cal 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

speed of 80 km/h. Observe local speed

limits.

repaired for reuse, please contact

MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-

ice Point or another specialist. Note that a

proper repair is impossible following an

emergency repair if the puncture hole cannot

be located.

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 manufactur-

er is not liable for damage sustained through

improper use of the tyre repair kit.

21. Immediately drive with great care to a

MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized

Service Point and have tyre repair/

replacement performed.

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 ve-

hicle any further. Contact a MITSUBISHI

MOTORS Authorized Service Point or an-

other specialist.

The manufacturer is not liable for damage

sustained through re-use of any tyre in

which tyre sealant has been used.

CAUTION

Be sure to check the tyre pressure for confir-

mation that the emergency repair procedure

is complete.

How to change a tyre
