Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine lThe surface of the compressor will get hot
while the compressor is running. Do not
keep the compressor running continuously
for more than 6 minutes. After using the com-
pressor, wait for the compressor to cool be-
fore using it again.
l If the tyre pressure does not rise to the neces-
sary of at least 1.8 bar level within 5 mi-
nutes, the tyre may be so severely damaged
that the tyre sealant cannot be used to effect
an emergency repair. Please contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point or another specialist in this event.
l Simply putting sealant and air into the tyre us-
ing the tyre repair kit does not seal the punc-
ture hole. Air will leak through the puncture
hole until the emergency repair procedure is
completed (through step 17 of these instruc-
tions).
15. When you have inflated the tyre to the speci-
fied pressure, stow the compressor and bottle
in the vehicle and promptly start driving the
vehicle so that the tire sealant can spread even-
ly in the tyre. Drive with great care. Do not
exceed a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). Ob-
serve local speed limits.
Remove the “max. 80 km/h ” or “max.
50 mph ” label from the bottle, that must be
displayed on the instrument panel within the
driver’s field of view.CAUTIONl If you sense any abnormality while driv-
ing, stop the vehicle and contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point or another specialist. Other-
wise the tyre pressure may drop before
the emergency repair procedure is com-
pleted, rendering the vehicle unsafe.
NOTE
l Driving faster than 80 km/h
(50 mph) can
make the vehicle vibrate.
16. After driving for 10 minutes, check the tyre
pressure using the air pressure gauge on the
compressor.
If the tyre pressure is not sufficient, inflate
the tyre to the specified pressure 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 min-
imum permitted pressure (1.3 bar
{ 130 kPa}), the tyre cannot successfully
be repaired with the tyre sealant. Do not
drive the vehicle any further. Contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point or another specialist.
17. After driving for 10 minutes, check the tyre
pressure using the air pressure gauge on the
compressor. (Refer to “Tyre inflation pres-
sures” on page 8-12.) If the tyre pressure
has apparently not dropped, the emergency re-
pair procedure is complete. You must still
not exceed a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
Observe local speed limits.
NOTE l 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 vehi-
cle any further. Contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or anoth-
er specialist.
l In cold conditions (when the ambient temper-
ature is 0 °C or lower), the time and driving
distance necessary until completion of the re-
pair can be longer than in warmer conditions,
meaning that the tyre pressure can drop be-
low the specified level even when you have
inflated the tyre a second time and subsequent-
ly 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 speci-
fied level, stop driving the vehicle and con-
tact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point or another specialist.
18. Then immediately drive with great care to a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point or another specialist and have tyre re-
pair/replacement performed.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine WARNINGlStop jacking up the vehicle as soon as the
tyre is raised off the ground. It is danger-
ous to raise the vehicle any higher.
l Do not get under your vehicle while using
the jack.
l Do not bump the raised vehicle or leave it
sitting on the jack for a long time. Both
are very dangerous.
l Do not use a jack except the one that
came with your vehicle.
l The jack should not be used for any pur-
pose other than to change a tyre.
l No one should be in your vehicle when us-
ing the jack.
l Do not start or run the engine while your
vehicle is on the jack.
l Do not turn the raised wheel. The tyres
still on the ground could turn and make
your vehicle fall off the jack.Spare wheel* E00801101394
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 speci-
fied air pressure will ensure that it can always be
used under any conditions (city/high-speed driving,
varying load weight, etc.).
The spare wheel is stored beneath the luggage floor
board of the luggage compartment.
Compact spare wheel
The compact spare tyre is designed to save space in
the luggage compartment and its lighter weight
makes it easier to use if a flat tyre occurs.CAUTIONl The pressure should be periodically
checked and maintained at the specified
pressure while the tyre is stowed.
Driving with an insufficient tyre pressure
can lead to an accident. If you have no
choice but to drive with an 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 8-12.)
l The compact spare wheel is for tempora-
ry use only and should be removed as
soon as the original wheel can be re-
paired or replaced.
l The vehicle must not be driven at speeds
in excess of 80 km/h (50 mph) while using
the compact spare wheel.CAUTIONl The compact spare tyre is not as good as
a standard tyre in controllability and sta-
bility. When the compact spare tyre is
used, avoid quick starts, sudden braking
and sharp steering.
l Avoid driving through automatic vehicle
washers and over obstacles that could pos-
sibly damage the vehicle’s undercarriage.
Because the compact spare wheel is small-
er than the original wheel, the ground
clearance is slightly reduced.
l The compact spare wheel is specifically de-
signed for your vehicle and it should not
be used on any other vehicle.
l Do not use tyre chains with your compact
spare wheel. Because of the smaller tyre
size, a tyre chain will not fit properly.
This could cause damage to the wheel
and result in loss of the chain.
If a front tyre becomes flat when using
tyre chains, first replace a rear wheel
with the compact spare wheel and then
use the removed rear wheel to replace the
flat front wheel so that you can continue
to use the chains.

Adequate care of your vehicle at regular intervals
serves to preserve the value and appearance as long
as possible.
Maintenance items as described in this owner’s man-
ual can be performed by the owner.
We recommend you to have the periodic inspection
and maintenance performed by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or another spe-
cialist. In the event a malfunction or other problem
is discovered, we recommend you to have it
checked and repaired. This section contains infor-
mation on inspection maintenance procedures that
you can do yourself. Follow the instructions and
cautions for each of the various procedures.WARNINGl When checking or servicing the inside of
the engine compartment, make sure the
engine is switched off and has had a
chance to cool down.
l If it is necessary to do work in the engine
compartment with the engine running, be
especially careful that your clothing, hair,
etc., does not become caught by the fans,
drive belts, or other moving parts.
l The fan may turn on automatically even
if the engine is not running; turn the igni-
tion key to “LOCK” position and remove
the key to ensure safety while you work
in the engine compartment.
l Do not smoke, cause sparks or allow open
flames around fuel or battery. The fumes
are flammable.WARNINGl Be extremely cautious when working
around the battery. It contains poisonous
and corrosive sulphuric acid.
l Do not get under your vehicle with just
the body jack supporting it. Always use
automotive jack stands.
l Improper handling of components and
materials used in the vehicle can endan-
ger your personal safety. We recommend
you to consult a specialist for necessary in-
formation.Catalytic converter E01000201140
For ordinary use, there are no particular precau-
tions except that of using unleaded petrol.
The exhaust gas scavenging devices used with the
catalytic converter are extremely efficient for the re-
duction of noxious gases. The catalytic converter is
installed in the exhaust system.
It is important to keep the engine properly tuned to
ensure proper catalyst operation and prevent possi-
ble catalyst damage.CAUTIONl Damage to the catalytic converter can re-
sult if your vehicle is not kept in proper
operating condition. In the event of an en-
gine malfunction particularly involving
engine misfire or other apparent loss of
performance, have your vehicle serviced
promptly. Continued operation of your ve-
hicle with a severe overheated condition
may result in possible damage to the con-
verter and vehicle.WARNINGl As with any vehicle, do not park or oper-
ate this vehicle in areas where combusti-
ble materials such as dry grass or leaves
can come in contact with a hot exhaust
since a fire could occur.
l Paint should not be applied to the catalyt-
ic converter.
