Before changing a tyre, first stop your vehicle
in a safe, flat location.
1. Park the vehicle on level and stable
ground, free of loose pebbles, etc.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. Put the select position in “P” (PARK)
position and stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV
system.
4. Have all your passengers get out of the
vehicle.
5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when
jacking up the vehicle, place chocks or
blocks (A) at the tyre that is diagonally
opposite from the tyre (B) you are chang-
ing.
CAUTION
 Be sure to check the tyre pressure for confir-
mation that the emergency repair procedure
is complete.
NOTE
 Please give the empty sealant bottle to your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorised Service
Point when you purchase new sealant or dis-
pose of the sealant bottle according to
national regulations for the disposal of
chemical waste.
 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 MIT-
SUBISHI MOTORS Authorised Service
Point or another specialist. Note that a proper
repair is impossible following an emergency
repair if the puncture hole cannot be located.
 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 manufacturer
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.

NOTE
WARNING
 Be sure to apply chocks or blocks to the
correct tyre 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 keep ones in the vehicle for use if
needed.
 If chocks are not available, use stones or any
other objects that are large enough to hold
the wheel in position.
