WARNINGl Using the tyre repair kit may damage the
wheel and/or the tyre inflation pressure
sensor for the tyre.
The vehicle must promptly be inspected and repaired by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point after
using the tyre repair kit.CAUTIONl The tyre sealant can cause health damage if
swallowed. If you accidentally swallow it,
drink as much water as possible and imme-
diately consult a doctor.
l If the tyre sealant gets in your eyes or on
your skin, rinse with lots of water. If you still sense an abnormality, consult a doctor.
l Consult a doctor immediately if any allergic
reactions occur.
l Do not allow children to touch the tyre seal-
ant.
l Do not breathe in the vapours of tyre sealant.
l Be sure to use a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS
GENUINE tyre sealant.NOTEl The tyre sealant cannot be used in any of the
situations listed below. If any of these situa-
tions occurs, please contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or an-
other specialist.
• The tyre sealant’s expiry date has passed.
(The expiry date is shown on the bottle la- bel.)
• More than one tyre is punctured.
• The puncture hole has a length or width of
4 mm or more.

CAUTIONlBe careful not to get your fingers trapped be-
tween the tyre and wheel as the tyre inflates.
l 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.
l If the compressor becomes sluggish or hot
while operating, it is overheating. Immedi- ately place the switch in the OFF positionand let the compressor cool down for at least30 minutes.NOTEl 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- pair. Please contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or an-
other specialist in this event.
16. Turn OFF the compressor switch, then
pull the power cord plug out of the sock- et.
NOTEl 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).
17. Affix the speed restriction sticker (Q) to
the three-diamond mark on the steering wheel.
CAUTIONl Do not affix the sticker anywhere except the
specified position on the pad of the steeringwheel. Affixing the sticker in an incorrect
position could prevent the SRS airbag from working normally.18. When you have inflated the tyre to the
specified pressure, stow the compressor,
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.CAUTIONl 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.NOTEl 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 iscomplete. Continue the process from
step 21.
If the tyre pressure is not sufficient, in- flate the tyre to the specified pressure
Tyre repair kit
9-17OGGE17E1For emergencies9

again and drive the vehicle carefully
without exceeding a speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph).CAUTIONl 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.
20. 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 iscomplete. You must still not exceed a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). Observe lo-
cal speed limits.
NOTEl 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.NOTEl 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 candrop 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.
21. Immediately drive with great care to a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point and have tyre repair/
replacement performed.
CAUTIONl Be sure to check the tyre pressure for confir-
mation that the emergency repair procedureis complete.NOTEl 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.
l A tyre in which puncture sealant has been
used should ideally be replaced with a newone. If you wish to have such a tyre properly
repaired for reuse, please contact a 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.
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 manufactur- er is not liable for damage sustained throughimproper use of the tyre repair kit.
l The manufacturer is not liable for damage
sustained through re-use of any tyre in which tyre sealant has been used.How to change a tyre
E00801203924
Before changing a tyre, first stop your vehi-cle 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.
How to change a tyre
9-18OGGE17E1For emergencies9

CAUTIONlNever use your foot or a pipe extension for
extra force in the wheel nut wrench. If you
do so, you will tighten the nut too much.
10. Lower and remove the jack, then store
the jack, flat tyre, and chocks. Have your
damaged tyre repaired as soon as possi- ble.
11. Check your tyre inflation pressure at the
next gasstation. The correct tyre pres-
sures are shown on the driver’s door la-
bel. See the illustration.
12. After filling your tyres to the correct
pressure, reset the tyre pressure monitor-
ing system (TPMS).
Refer to “Tyre pressure monitoring sys- tem (TPMS): Reset of low tyre pressure
warning threshold” on page 7-93.
CAUTIONl After changing the tyre and driving the vehi-
cle about 1,000 km (620 miles), retighten the
wheel nuts to make sure that they have not come loose.
l If the steering wheel vibrates when driving
after changing the tyre, we recommend you to have the tyres checked for balance.
l Do not mix one type of tyre with another or
use a different size from the one listed. This
would cause early wear and poor handling.To store the tools and jack

NOTEOperation under adversedriving conditions E00801703828
If your vehicle becomes stuck
in sand, mud or snow
If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow, sand,
or mud, it can often be moved by a rocking
motion. Rock your vehicle back and forth to
free it.
Do not spin the wheels. Constant efforts to
free a stuck vehicle can cause transaxle fail-
ure.
If your vehicle is still stuck after several rocking attempts, call for a commercial tow
truck service.
WARNINGl When trying to rock your vehicle out of a
stuck position, make sure that there are
no people nearby. The rocking motion can make your vehicle suddenly lurch for-
ward or backward, and injure any by- standers.
On a flooded road
l Do not drive on a flooded road. If you
drive on a flooded road, not only does the Plugin Hybrid EV System stop but
there may be a failure like electric leak- age or short circuit.
If you inevitably had to run on a flooded
road and the vehicle was exposed to wa- ter, be sure to have your vehicle inspec-
ted by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
l If there is water on the brakes after driv-
ing through puddles or washing the vehi- cle, resulting in temporarily ineffective
brakes. In such cases, lightly depress the brake pedal to see if the brakes operate
properly. If they do not, lightly depress the pedal several times while driving in
order to dry the brake pads.
l When driving in rain or on a road with
many puddles a layer of water may form
between the tyres and the road surface.
This reduces a tyre’s frictional resistance
on the road, resulting in loss of steering stability and braking capability.

To cope with this, observe the following
items: A- Drive your vehicle at slow speed.B- Do not drive on worn tyres.
C- Always maintain the specified tyre
inflation pressures.
On a snow-covered or frozen road
l When driving on a snow-covered or fro-
zen road, it is recommended that you use snow tyres or snow traction device (tyre chains).
Refer to the “Snow tyres” and “Snow
traction device (tyre chains)” sections.
l Avoid high-speed operation, sudden ac-
celeration, abrupt brake application and
sharp cornering.

To check and refill engine oil
The engine oil used has a significant effecton the engine’s performance, service life and
startability. Be sure to use oil of the recom- mended quality and appropriate viscosity.
All engines consume a certain amount of oil during normal operation. Therefore, it is im-portant to check the oil level at regular inter-
vals or before starting a long trip. 1. Park the vehicle on a horizontal surface.
2. Switch off the engine.
3. Wait a few minutes.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a
clean cloth.
5. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes.
6. Remove the dipstick and read the oil lev- el, which should always be within therange indicated.
7. If the oil level is below the specified
limit, remove the cap located on the cyl- inder head cover and add enough oil to
raise the level to within the specified
range. Do not overfill to avoid engine damage. Be sure to use the specified en-
gine oil and do not mix various types of
oil.
