5. If the vehicle is on a gradient, place a chock or block (A)at the tyre that is diagonally opposite the tyre (B) you are
repairing.
NOTE● The chock shown in the illustration does not come with
your vehicle. It is recommended that you keep one in the
vehicle for use if needed.
● If a chock is not available, use a stone or any other object
that is large enough to hold the wheel in position. 6. Take out the tyre sealant bottle and the compressor.
NOTE●
In cold conditions (when the ambient temperature is 0 °C
or lower). Warm the bottle inside the vehicle.
7. Shake the tyre sealant bottle (C) well.

18. After driving for 10 minutes, check the tyre pressure usingthe air pressure gauge on the compressor. (Refer to “Tyre
inflation pressures” on page 8-19.) If the tyre pressure has
apparently not dropped, the emergency repair procedure is
complete. You must still not exceed a speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph). Observe local speed limits.
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 vehicle any fu rther. Contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or another specialist.
● In cold conditions (when th e ambient temperature is 0 °C
or lower), the time and driving distance necessary for
completion of the repair can be longer than in warmer
conditions, 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
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 specified level, stop driving the
vehicle and contact a MITS UBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point or another specialist. 19. Then immediately drive wi
th great care to a MITSUBI-
SHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point or another spe-
cialist and have a tyre repair/replacement performed.
NOTE● Please give the empty sealant bottle to your MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point when you purchase
new sealant, or dispose of the sealant bottle according to
national regulations for the disposal of chemical 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 repaired for reuse, please contact a
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.
● Wipe away any sealant that gets on the wheel. Provided
the valve is replaced with a new one, the wheel can be
reused.
CAUTION!
●Be sure to check the tyre pressure for confirmation
that the emergency repair procedure is complete.

8. Slowly turn the jack handle until the tyre is raised slightlyoff the ground surface. Spare wheel*
E00801101206
Check the air pressure of the spare tyre frequently and make
sure it is ready for emergency use at any time.
Maintaining the spare wheel at the highest specified air pres-
sure will ensure that it can al ways be used under any conditions
(city/high-speed driving, varying load weight, etc.).
The spare wheel is stored ben eath the luggage floor board of
the luggage compartment.
Compact spare wheel
The compact spare tyre is desi gned to save space in the lug-
gage compartment and its lighter weight makes it easier to use
if a flat tyre occurs.
WARNING!
● Stop jacking up the vehicle as soon as the tyre is
raised off the ground. It is dangerous to raise the
vehicle any higher.
● Do not get under your vehi cle while using the jack.
●Do not bump the raised vehicle or leave it sitting on
the jack for a long time. Both are very dangerous.
●Do not use a jack except th e one that came with your
vehicle.
● The jack should not be us ed for any purpose other
than to change a tyre.
● No one should be in you r vehicle when using the
jack.
● Do not start or run the en gine while your vehicle is
on the jack.
● Do not turn the raised wh eel. The tyres still on the
ground could turn and make your vehicle fall off the
jack.
CAUTION!
● The pressure should be periodically checked and
maintained at the specified pressure while the tyre is
stowed.
Driving with insufficient ty re pressure can lead to an
accident. If you have no choice but to drive with
insufficient tyre pressure , keep your speed down and
inflate the tyre to the correct pressure as soon as
possible. (Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures” on
page 8-19.)
● The compact spare wheel is for temporary use only
and should be removed as soon as the original wheel
can be repaired or replaced.
