Emergency starting

E00800504259

If the engine cannot be started because the
battery is weak or dead, the battery from an-
other vehicle can be used with jumper cables
to start the engine.

WARNING

To  start  the  engine  by  using  jumper  ca-
bles  from  another  vehicle,  perform  the
correct  procedures  according  to  the  in-
struction  below.  Incorrect  procedures
could result in a fire or explosion or dam-
age to the vehicles.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to start the engine by pulling
or pushing the vehicle.
It could damage your vehicle.

Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the battery.

Keep the battery out of the reach of children.

1. Get the vehicles close enough so the

jumper cables can reach, but be sure the
vehicles aren’t touching each other.

CAUTION

Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-
volt battery.
If the other system isn’t 12-volt, shorting can
damage both vehicles.

For emergencies

NOTE

•

The tyre has completely slipped over the
wheel rim and has come off the wheel.

•

The wheel is damaged.

Use the tyre sealant only at ambient temper-
atures of -30 °C to + 60 °C.

Effect an emergency repair without pulling
out the object (nail, screw, etc.) that is stuck
in the tyre.

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).

Wipe tyre sealant off the paintwork immedi-
ately with a damp cloth.

Immediately wash clothes contaminated
with tyre sealant.

Check the tyre sealant’s expiry date regular-
ly, and be sure to purchase a new one from a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point before the expiry date.

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.

CAUTION

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.

Tyre repair kit*

8-09

OGAE18E1

For emergencies

NOTE

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 bottle
inside the vehicle.

9. Take the cap (G) off the tyre sealant bot-

tle  (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.

CAUTION

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.

NOTE

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 go
into 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).

NOTE

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.

For emergencies

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).

14. Place the compressor (L) with its air

pressure gauge (M) on top.
Pull  out  the  compressor’s  power  cord
(N), insert the plug on the cord into the
accessory  socket  or  cigarette  lighter
socket  (O),  and  then  turn  the  ignition
switch to “ACC” position or put the op-
eration  mode  in  ACC.  Refer  to  “Ciga-
rette  lighter”  on  page  7-71  and  “Acces-
sory socket” on page 7-72.
Turn ON the compressor switch (P) and
inflate the tyre to the specified pressure.
(Refer  to  “Tyre  inflation  pressures”  on
page 10-13.)

CAUTION

The supplied compressor is designed only
for inflation of passenger vehicle tyres.

The compressor is designed to run on a vehi-
cle’s 12 V power supply. Do not connect it
to any other power source.

The compressor is not waterproof. If you use
it in rain, make sure water does not get on it.

Any sand or dust sucked into the compressor
could make the compressor break down. Do
not place the compressor directly on any
sandy 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.

15. Check and adjust the tyre pressure with

reference to the air pressure gauge on the
compressor.  If  you  overinflate  the  tyre,
release  air  by  loosening  the  hose’s  end
fitting.
If  there  is  a  gap  between  the  tyre  and
wheel  because  the  tyre  has  moved  in-
ward  from  the  wheel  rim,  press  the  pe-
riphery of the tyre towards the wheel to
close  the  gap  before  running  the  com-
pressor. (With no gaps, the tyre pressure
will rise.)

CAUTION

Be careful not to get your fingers trapped be-
tween the tyre and wheel as the tyre inflates.

Tyre repair kit*

8-11

OGAE18E1

For emergencies

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  the
compressor, 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  position
and let the compressor cool down for at least
30 minutes.

NOTE

If the tyre pressure does not rise to the speci-
fied level within 10 minutes, the tyre may be
so  severely  damaged  that  the  tyre  sealant
cannot  be  used  to  effect  an  emergency  re-
pair.  Please  contact  a  MITSUBISHI
MOTORS  Authorized  Service  Point  or  an-
other specialist in this event.

16. Turn OFF the compressor switch, then

pull the power cord plug out of the sock-
et.

NOTE

Simply  putting  sealant  and  air  into  the  tyre
using  the  tyre  repair  kit  does  not  seal  the
puncture  hole.  Air  will  leak  through  the
puncture  hole  until  the  emergency  repair
procedure  is  completed  (through  step  19  of
these instructions).

17. Affix the speed restriction sticker (Q) to

the steering wheel at the position shown
in  the  illustration.  Then  immediately
drive with great care to a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS  Authorized  Service  Point  or
another  specialist  and  have  tyre  repair/
replacement performed.

CAUTION

Do not affix the sticker anywhere except the
specified position on the pad of the steering
wheel. Affixing the sticker in an incorrect
position could prevent the SRS airbag from
working normally.

Be sure to check the tyre pressure for confir-
mation that the emergency repair procedure
is complete.

18. When you have inflated the tyre to the

specified pressure, stow the compressor,
bottle, and other items in the vehicle and
promptly start driving the vehicle so that
the tyre sealant can spread evenly in the
tyre. Drive with great care. Do not ex-
ceed a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). Ob-
serve local speed limits.

CAUTION

If you sense any abnormality while driving,
stop the vehicle and contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS  Authorized  Service  Point  or  an-
other  specialist.  Otherwise  the  tyre  pressure
may  drop  before  the  emergency  repair  pro-
cedure  is  completed,  rendering  the  vehicle
unsafe.

NOTE

Driving faster than 80 km/h (50 mph) can
make the vehicle vibrate.

Tyre repair kit*

OGAE18E1

For emergencies

19. After driving for 10 minutes or 5 km

(3  miles),  check  the  tyre  pressure  using
the  air  pressure  gauge  on  the  compres-
sor.
If  the  tyre  pressure  is  not  sufficient,  in-
flate  the  tyre  to  the  specified  pressure
again  and  drive  the  vehicle  carefully
without  exceeding  a  speed  of  80  km/h
(50 mph).

CAUTION

If the tyre pressure is lower than the mini-
mum

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  Serv-
ice Point or another specialist.

20. After driving for 10 minutes or 5 km

(3  miles),  check  the  tyre  pressure  using
the  air  pressure  gauge  on  the  compres-
sor.  If  the  tyre  pressure  has  apparently
not  dropped,  the  emergency  repair  pro-
cedure  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 ve-
hicle  any  further.  Contact  a  MITSUBISHI
MOTORS  Authorized  Service  Point  or  an-
other specialist.

In  cold  conditions  (when  the  ambient  tem-
perature is 0 °C or lower), the time and driv-
ing  distance  necessary  until  completion  of
the repair can be longer than in warmer con-
ditions,  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 hap-
pens,  inflate  the  tyre  to  the  specified  pres-
sure  once  more,  drive  for  about  10  minutes
or 5 km (3 miles), then check the tyre pres-
sure  again.  If  the  tyre  pressure  has  again
dropped below the specified level, stop driv-
ing  the  vehicle  and  contact  a  MITSUBISHI
MOTORS  Authorized  Service  Point  or  an-
other specialist.

Please give the empty sealant bottle to your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point when you purchase new sealant or
dispose of the sealant bottle according to na-
tional regulations for the disposal of chemi-
cal waste.

NOTE

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  Serv-
ice  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.

The manufacturer is unable to guarantee that
all tyre punctures can be repaired with the
tyre repair kit, in particular cuts or perfora-
tions with a diameter of more than 4 mm or
away from the tyre’s tread. The manufactur-
er is not liable for damage sustained through
improper use of the tyre repair kit.

The manufacturer is not liable for damage
sustained through re-use of any tyre in
which tyre sealant has been used.
