10. Remove the plug (K) from the free end of
the hose (L). Press the hose onto the valve(H).
11. Holding the sealant bottle upside-down,
squeeze it again and again to inject all ofthe sealant into the tyre.
12. After injecting the sealant, pull the hose
off the valve, remove any residual sealantfrom the valve, rim and/or tyre. Fit thevalve insert (J) into the valve (H), andscrew the valve insert securely into placeusing the valve remover (I).
CAUTIONzIf there is any air left in the tyre when youremove the valve insert, the valve insert mayfly out and injure you. Make sure the tyrecontains no air before
removing the valve
insert.
NOTE
zWhen injecting the sealant, position thevalve away from the bottom, i.e., away fromthe point where the tyre touches the ground.If the valve is near the point where the tyretouches the ground, the sealant may not gointo the tyre easily.
NOTE
zWhen removing and screwing in the valveinsert using the valve remover, turn the valveremover by hand. Using a tool to turn thevalve remover could damage it.

14. Place the compressor (N) with its air pres-
sure gauge (O) on top.Pull out the compressor’s power cord (P),insert the plug on the cord into the acces-sory socket (Q), and then put the opera-tion mode of the power switch in ACC.(Refer to “Accessory socket” on page8-66.)Turn ON the compressor switch (R) andinflate the tyre to the specified pressure.(Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures” onpage 11-10.)
CAUTIONzThe supplied compress
or is designed only
for inflation of y
our vehicle tyres.
zThe compressor is designed to run on a vehi-cle’s 12 V power supply. Do not connect it toany other power source.zThe compressor is not waterproof. If you useit in rain, make sure water does not get on it.

15. Check and adjust the tyre pressure with
reference to the air pressure gauge on thecompressor. If you overinflate the tyre,release air by loosening the hose’s end fit-ting.If there is a gap between the tyre andwheel because the tyre has moved inwardfrom the wheel rim, press the periphery ofthe tyre towards the wheel to close the gapbefore running the compressor. (With nogaps, the tyre pressure will rise.)
16. Turn OFF the compressor switch, then
pull the power cord plug out of the socket.
17. Affix the speed restriction sticker (R) to
the three-diamond mark on the steeringwheel.
zAny sand or dust sucked into the compressorcould make the compressor break down. Donot place the compressor directly on anysandy or dusty surface when using it.zDo not disassemble or
modify the compres-
sor. Also, do not subject the air pressuregauge to shock. It
could malfunction.
CAUTIONzBe careful not to get your fingers trappedbetween the tyre and wheel as the tyreinflates.zThe surface of the compressor will get hotwhile the compressor is running. Do notkeep the compressor running continuouslyfor more than 10 minutes. After using thecompressor, wait for the compressor to coolbefore using it again.CAUTION
zIf the compressor becomes sluggish or hotwhile operating, it is overheating. Immedi-ately place the switch in the OFF positionand let the compressor cool down for at least30 minutes.NOTE
zIf the tyre pressure does not rise to the speci-fied level within 10 minutes, the tyre may beso severely damaged that the tyre sealantcannot be used to effect an emergency repair.Please contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORSAuthorised Service Poin
t or another special-
ist in this event.NOTE
zSimply putting sealant and air into the tyreusing the tyre repair kit does not seal thepuncture hole. Air will leak through thepuncture hole until the emergency repair pro-cedure is completed (through step 19 or step20 of these instructions).CAUTION
CAUTIONzDo not affix the sticker anywhere except thespecified position on the pad of the steeringwheel. Affixing the sticker in an incorrectposition could prevent the SRS airbag fromworking normally.

18. When you have inflated the tyre to the
specified pressure, stow the compressor,bottle, and other items in the vehicle andpromptly start driving the vehicle so thatthe tyre sealant can spread evenly in thetyre. Drive with great care. Do not exceeda speed of 80 km/h. Observe local speedlimits.
19. After driving for 10 minutes or 5 km,
check the tyre pressure using the air pres-sure gauge on the compressor. If the tyrepressure has apparently not dropped, theemergency repair procedure is complete.Continue the process from step 21.If the tyre pressure is not sufficient, inflatethe tyre to the specified pressure againand drive the vehicle carefully withoutexceeding a speed of 80 km/h.
20. After driving for 10 minutes or 5 km,
check the tyre pressure using the air pres-sure gauge on the compressor. If the tyrepressure has apparently not dropped, theemergency repair procedure is complete.You must still not exceed a speed of 80km/h. Observe local speed limits.
CAUTIONzIf you sense any abnormality while driving,stop the vehicle and contact a MITSUBISHIMOTORS Authorised Service Point oranother specialist. Otherwise the tyre pres-sure may drop before the emergency repairprocedure is completed, rendering the vehi-cle unsafe.NOTE
zDriving faster than 80 km/h can make thevehicle vibrate.
CAUTIONzIf the tyre pressure is lower than the mini-mum permitted pressure (1.3 bar {130 kPa}),the tyre cannot successf
ully be repaired with
the tyre sealant. Do not drive the vehicle anyfurther. Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORSAuthorised Service Point or another special-ist.
NOTE
zIf the tyre pressure has dropped below thespecified level when you check it at the endof the repair procedure, do not drive thevehicle any further. Contact a MITSUBISHIMOTORS Authorised Service Point oranother specialist.zIn cold conditions (w
hen the ambient tem-
perature is 0 °C or lower), the time and driv-ing distance necessary until completion ofthe repair can be longer than in warmer con-ditions, meaning that the tyre pressure candrop below the specified level even whenyou have inflated the tyre a second time andsubsequently driven th
e vehicle. If this hap-
pens, inflate the tyre to the specified pressureonce more, drive for about 10 minutes or 5km, then check the tyre pressure again. If thetyre pressure has ag
ain dropped below the
specified level, stop dr
iving the vehicle and
contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-ised Service Point or another specialist.
