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 exceed
a speed of 80 km/h. Observe local speed
limits.
19. After driving for 10 minutes or 5 km,
check the tyre pressure using the air pres-
sure gauge on the compressor. If the tyre
pressure has apparently not dropped, the
emergency repair procedure is complete.
Continue the process from step 21.
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.
20. After driving for 10 minutes or 5 km,
check the tyre pressure using the air pres-
sure gauge on the compressor. If the tyre
pressure has apparently not dropped, the
emergency repair procedure is complete.
You must still not exceed a speed of 80
km/h. Observe local speed limits.
CAUTION
 If you sense any abnormality while driving,
stop the vehicle and contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorised Service Point or
another specialist. Otherwise the tyre pres-
sure may drop before the emergency repair
procedure is completed, rendering the vehi-
cle unsafe.
NOTE
 Driving faster than 80 km/h can make the
vehicle vibrate.
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
Authorised Service Point or another special-
ist.
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
vehicle any further. Contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorised Service Point or
another 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 pressure
once more, drive for about 10 minutes or 5
km, then check the tyre pressure again. If the
tyre pressure has again dropped below the
specified level, stop driving the vehicle and
contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ised Service Point or another specialist.
