1. Park the vehicle on a safe, flat and level place. 2. Set the parking brake firmly.3. Move the selector
lever to the “P”
(PARK) position, and stop the engine. 4. Turn on the hazard warning lights and setup a warning sign, such as a warning tri- angle or flashing signal lamp, at an ade- quate distance from the vehicle, and haveall your passengers leave the vehicle. 5. Take out the tire repair kit. Make sure that the compressor switch isOFF.
6. Shake the tire sealant bottle well. 7. Take the valve cap (D) off the tire valve (E).
8. Unwind the bottle hose (F) from around the sealant bottle. 9. Pull out the compressor’s hose (G) from the bottom of the compressor and securely attach it to the valve (H) of the bottle byturning it clockwise until tight.
Immediately wash clothes contaminated with tire sealant. The tire sealant may not beremoved from the clothes.NOTE
Do not pull out an object, such as a nail or screw, that penetrat
es the punctured tire.
Move the vehicle so th
at the tire valve is
positioned away from the point where thetire touches the ground. If the valve is near the point where the tire touches the ground, the sealant may not enter the tire easily. Check the tire sealant’
s expiration date regu-
larly, and be sure to
purchase a new one from
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer before the expiration date.CAUTION
NOTE
In cold conditions (w
hen the ambient tem-
perature is 32 °F {0 °C} or lower), thicken- ing of the tire sealant can make the tiresealant hard to squeeze out of the bottle. Warm the bottle betw
een your hands inside
the vehicle.

13. Affix the speed restriction sticker (N) to
the three-diamond mark on the steeringwheel.
14. Check and adjust the tire pressure with
reference to the air pressure gauge on thecompressor. If you overinflate the tire, release air by pressing the pressure release switch (O) on the compressor.
15. Turn OFF the compressor switch, then
pull the power cord plug out of the 12 Vpower outlet.
16. When you have inflated the tire to the
specified pressure, stow the compressor and bottle in the vehicle and promptlystart driving the vehicle so that the tire sealant can spread evenly in the tire. Drive with great care. Do not exceed aspeed of 50 mph (80 km/h). Observe local speed limits.
Any sand or dust sucked into the compressor could make the compressor break down. Donot place the compressor directly on anysandy or dusty surface when using it. Do not disassemble or modify the compres- sor. Also, do not subject the air pressure gauge to shock. It could malfunction.CAUTION Do not affix the sticker anywhere except the specified position on th
e pad of the steering
wheel. Affixing the sticker in an incorrect position could prevent the SRS airbag from deploying properly.CAUTION
CAUTION 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 thecompressor, wait for the compressor to cool before using it again. If the compressor becomes sluggish or hot while operating, it is
overheating. Immedi-
ately place the switch in the OFF positionand let the compressor c
ool down for at least
30 minutes. Do not press the pressure release switch (O) while sealant is being injected, because the sealant may leak from compressor.
NOTE
If the tire pressure does not rise to the speci- fied level within 10 minutes, the tire may beso severely damaged that the tire sealant can-not be used for emergency repair. Do not drive the vehicle. Plea
se contact an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.NOTE
At this point the puncture hole is not sealed yet. Air will
continue to leak through the
puncture hole until the emergency repair pro-cedure is completed (through step 17 or step 18 of these instructions).

17. After driving for 10 minutes or 3 miles (5
km), park the vehicl
e in a safe place.
Remove the air compressor from the stowed position. Check the tire pressureusing the air pressure gauge on the com- pressor. If the tire pressure has not dropped, the emergency repair procedureis complete. Proceed to step 19. If the tire pressure is insufficient, inflate the tire to the specified pressure again anddrive the vehicle carefully without exceeding a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h). Before driving, make sure that the com-pressor is stowed.
18. After driving for 10 minutes or 3 miles (5
km) again, check the tire pressure usingthe air pressure gauge on the compressor. If the tire pressure has not dropped, the emergency repair procedure is complete.Before driving, make sure that the com- pressor is stowed. You must still not exceed a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).Observe local speed limits.
19. Immediately drive with great care to an
authorized Mitsubishi

Before changing a tire,
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. Move the selector lever to the “P”(PARK) position and turn the ignition switch (the engine switch) to the “LOCK” or “OFF” position.4. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and set up a warning sign, such as a warning triangle or flashing signal lamp, at an ade-quate distance from the vehicle, and have all your passengers
leave the vehicle.
CAUTIONIf you sense any abnormality while driving, stop the vehicle and c
ontact an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Otherwise the tirepressure may drop before the emergency repair procedure is completed, rendering the vehicle unsafe to drive.CAUTION If the tire pressure is lower than the mini- mum permitted pressure (18 psi {130 kPa}), the tire cannot successf
ully be repaired with
the tire sealant. Do not drive the vehicle anyfurther. Contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
NOTE
If the tire pressure has dropped below the specified level when you check it at the end of the repair procedure, do not drive the vehicle any further.
Contact an authorized
Mitsubishi Moto
rs dealer.
In cold conditions (when the ambient tem- perature is 32 °F {0 °C} or lower), the time and driving distance required until comple- tion of the repair can
become longer than in
warmer conditions, and the tire pressure may drop below the specified level even after you have inflated the tire the second time andsubsequently driven the vehicle. If this hap- pens, inflate the tire to the specified pressure once more, drive for approximately 10 min-utes or 3 miles (5 km), then check the tire pressure again. If the tire pressure has again dropped below the specified level, stop driv-ing the vehicle and contact an authorized Mitsubishi Moto
rs dealer.
NOTE
Please give the empt
y sealant bottle to an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or dis-pose of the sealant bot
tle according to regu-
lations for the disposal
of chemical waste.

The compact spare tire is stowed below the luggage compartment floor. It is designed to save space in the luggage compartment. Its lighter weight ma
kes it easier to use if a flat
tire occurs.
WA R N I N G Be sure to apply choc
ks or blocks to the
correct tire when jacking up the vehicle. If the vehicle moves while jacked up, the jack could slip out of
position, leading to
an accident.NOTE
The chocks shown in the illustration do not come with your vehicle. It is recommended that you purchase chocks
or blocks and keep
them in the vehicle for use if needed. If chocks or blocks ar
e not available, use
stones or any other obj
ects that are large
enough to hold the wheel in position.

equipped)Compact spare tire
WA R N I N G Tires, including spar
e tire, degrade over
time with age even when they are not being used. It is recommended that tires over 6 years generally
be replaced even if
damage is not obvious.
CAUTION While the compact spare tire is stowed, the inflation pressure shoul
d be checked at least
once a month to assure that it remains at therecommended inflation pressure. See the tire and loading information placard attached to the driver’s door sill. Refer to “Tire and load-ing information placard” on page 11-3. Driving with an imprope
rly inflated tire can
cause an accident. If
you have no choice but
to drive with an under-inflated tire, keep your speed down and av
oid sudden steering
or braking, if possible. Inflate the tire to the correct pressure as soon as possible. Refer to “Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-20. The compact spare tire should be used only temporarily. While th
e compact spare tire is
being used, the tire pr
essure monitoring sys-
tem will not function pr
operly. Have the tire
replaced or repaired at an authorized Mit-subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon as possible. Do not go over 50 mph (80 km/h) when driv- ing with the compact spare tire. Avoid sudden starting and braking when driving with the
compact spare tire.
Do not drive through automatic car washes and over obstacles that
could possibly dam-
age the underside of your vehicle. Becausethe compact spare tire is smaller than the original tire, there is less clearance between the ground and your vehicle.

c converter does not
require maintenance. However, it is important to keep the engine properly tuned for the con- verter to continue to work properly. To reduce the possibili
ty of catalytic con-
verter damage: Use UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY of the type of recommended in the “Fuelselection”.
Do not drive with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of gas could damagethe catalytic converter. Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle. If the battery isweak or run down, use jumper cables to properly start the engine. Do not idle the engine with any spark plug wires disconnected or removed, such as when performing
diagnosti
c tests.
Do not idle the engine
for a long time if it
is idling roughly or otherwise obviously malfunctioning. To prevent the catalytic converter from being damaged from unburned gas, do not race the engine when turning off the igni-tion switch. Stop driving the vehicle if you think the performance is noticeably low, or theengine has a malfunction such as with the ignition, etc. If you are not able to stop driving immediately,
slow down and drive
for only a short time. Have your vehicle checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice as soon
as possible.
In unusual situations involving major engine problems, a burning odor mayindicate severe a
nd abnormal catalytic
converter overheating. If this occurs, stop in a safe place, shut
the engine off and let
the vehicle cool. Once the engine is cool, immediately take your vehicle to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your
choice for service.
