How to use the tyre repair kitCAUTIONl 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.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.)NOTE
• More than one tyre is punctured.
• The puncture hole has a length or width of
4 mm or more.
• The tyre is punctured in the side wall (A),
not in the tread (B).
• The vehicle has been driven with the tyre
almost completely flat.
NOTE• The tyre has completely slipped over the
wheel rim and has come off the wheel.
• The wheel is damaged.
l Use the tyre sealant only at ambient temper-
atures of -30 °C to + 60 °C.
l Effect an emergency repair without pulling
out the object (nail, screw, etc.) that is stuck
in the tyre.
l 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).
l Wipe tyre sealant off the paintwork immedi-
ately with a damp cloth.
l Immediately wash clothes contaminated
with tyre sealant.
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. On vehicles with M/T, stop the engine
and move the gearshift lever to the “R”
(Reverse) position.
On vehicles with A/T or CVT, move the
selector lever to the “P” (PARK) posi- tion and stop the engine.

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.
5. Take out the tyre sealant bottle and the
compressor.
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.
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.
CAUTIONl 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.
NOTEl 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 bottleinside the vehicle.
9. Take the cap (G) off the type sealant
bottle (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.
CAUTIONl 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,

squeeze it again and again to inject all of
the sealant into the tyre.NOTEl 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 gointo 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).
NOTEl 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.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.
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).
