Restart the engine and check to see if the indicator comes on again.
If the indicator does not go out, or if it comes on again, it is not necessary to
stop the vehicle immediately, but we recommend that you have your vehicle
inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice as soon as possible.
When this indicator comes on, the Traction control system or Active skid con-
trol system is not functioning and normal operation of the vehicle will not be
affected.P.3-60

proper inflation pressure as soon as possible.
(See “Tire inflation pressures” on page 7-24.)
Once adjustments have been made, the warning light will go off after a few
minutes of driving.
If the warning light blinks for approximately 1 minute and then remains con-
tinuously illuminated, the system is not operating properly. If the system
returns to normal, the warning light will go off. If the warning light does not

!Do not attach anything to the steering wheel’s pad-
ded cover, such as trim material, badges, etc. These
could strike and injure an occupant if the air bag
inflates. Do not set anything on, or attach anything to, the
instrument panel above the glove compartment.
Such items could strike and injure an occupant if the
air bag inflates.
WA R N I N G
!Do not attach accessories to, or put them in front of,
the windshield. They could restrict the air bag infla-
tion, or strike and injure an occupant, when the air
bag inflates. Do not place objects, such as packages or pets,
between the air bags and the driver or the front pas-
senger. Such objects can adversely affect air bag
performance, or cause serious injury or death when
the air bag deploys.Immediately after air bag inflation, some parts of
the air bag system will be hot. Do not touch them.
You could be burned. The air bag system is designed to work only once.
After the air bags deploy, they will not work again.
They must promptly be replaced and the entire air
bag system must be inspected by an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer.

3 Cautions on the handling of all-wheel drive
vehicles
N00530800129
Tires and wheelsSince the driving torque can be applied to the four wheels, the
driving performance of the vehicle when operating in all-wheel
drive is greatly affected by the condition of the tires.
Pay close attention to the tires.
Install only the specified tires on all wheels. Refer to
“Tires and wheels” on page 9-7.
Be sure all four tires and wheels are the same size and
type.
When it is necessary to replace any of the tires or wheels,
replace all four.
All tires should be rotated before the wear difference
between the front and rear tires is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expected if there is a dif-
ference in wear between tires. Refer to the “Tire rotation” on
page 7-27.
Check the tire inflation pressure regularly.
CAUTION
!Always use tires of the same size, type, and brand
that have no wear differences. Using tires of differ-
ent size, type, brand or degree of wear, will increase
the differential oil temperature and result in possi-
ble damage to the driving system. Further, the drive
train will be subject to excessive loading, possibly
leading to oil leakage, component seizure, or other
serious problems.

To resume the set speed
N00518900188
If the speed memory has not been erased, resume the previ-
ously set speed by pulling the cruise control lever up while
driving at a speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or higher.
Under either of the following conditions, however, using the
switch does not allow you to resume the previously set speed.
In these situations, repeat the speed setting procedure:
The ignition key is turned OFF.
The main switch is turned OFF.
Tire pressure monitoring system
N00530200354
The tire pressure monitoring system uses tire inflation pressure
sensors (A) on the wheels to monitor the tire inflation pres-
sures. The system only indicates when a tire is significantly
under-inflated.
WA R N I N G
!The 17-inch steel spare tire and compact spare tire
do not have a tire inflation pressure sensor.
When the 17-inch steel spare tire or compact spare
tire is used, the tire pressure monitoring system will
not work properly.
See an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon
as possible to replace or repair the original tire.

aluminum spare tire

NOTEThe tire pressure monitoring system is not a substitute for
regularly checking tire inflation pressures.
Be sure to check the tire inflation pressures as described in
“Tires” on page 7-20.
The tire inflation pressure sensor (A) is installed in the
illustrated location. Replace grommet (B) with a new one
when the tire is replaced.
For details, please contact your authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
Tire pressure monitoring system warning light
N00554800064
When the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position, this light
normally illuminates and goes off a few seconds later. If one or
more of the vehicle tires is significantly under-inflated, how-
ever, this light will remain illuminated while the key is in the
“ON” position.
Refer to “If the warning light illuminates while driving” on
page 3-72 and take the necessary measures.NOTETire pressure monitoring system doesn’t monitor the spare
tire in luggage room, even if the tire inflation pressure
sensor is equipped.
Tire pressure monitoring system monitors the 18-inch alu-
minum spare tire when it is used.
CAUTION
!If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light
does not illuminate when the ignition key is turned
to the “ON” position, it means that the tire pressure
monitoring system is not working properly. Have
the system inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system
may be preventing the monitoring of the tire pres-
sure. Avoid sudden braking, sharp turning and
high-speed driving.

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure rec-
ommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a
different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper
tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped
with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates
a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates,
you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure.
If a malfunction is detected in the tire pressure mon-
itoring system, the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light will blink for approximately 1 minute
and then remain continuously illuminated. The
warning light will issue further warnings each time
the engine is restarted as long as the malfunction
exists.
Check to see whether the warning light goes off after
few minutes of driving.
If it then goes off during driving, there is no prob-
lem.
However, if the warning light does not go off, or if it
blinks again when the engine is restarted, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system
may be preventing the monitoring of the tire pres-
sure. For safety reasons, when the warning light
appears while driving, avoid sudden braking, sharp
turning and high-speed driving.
