check the tire pressure using the air pressure gauge on the
compressor. If the tire pressure has not dropped, the emer-

sure that the compressor is stowed. You must still not
exceed a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h). Observe local speed
limits.

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 Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice.
In cold conditions (when the ambient temperature is 32 °F
{0 °C} or lower), the time and driving distance required
until completion 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 and subsequently driven the vehicle. If this
happens, inflate the tire to the specified pressure once
more, drive for about 10 minutes or 3 miles (5 km), then
check the tire pressure again. If the tire pressure has again
dropped below the specified level, stop driving the vehicle
and contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice.
19. Immediately drive with great care to an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice and have the tire repair/replacement performed.
