Park your vehicle in a safe place and turn off the engine.
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

If the warning light comes on, you should stop and adjust the tires to the
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
go off, have the vehicle inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.P.3-70

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.

!
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.

NOTE
The 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.NOTE
Tire 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.

Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure tell-
tale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction
indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire
pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash
for approximately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may
not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, includ-
ing the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels
on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning prop-
erly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replac-
ing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS
to continue to function properly.

1. If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light illu-
minates, avoiding hard braking, sharp steering maneuvers
and high speeds. You should stop and adjust the tires to
the proper inflation pressure as soon as possible. Adjust
the spare tire at the same time. Refer to “Tires” on page 7-
20.NOTE
When inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, do not
apply excessive force to the valve stem to avoid breakage.

After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, always
reinstall the valve cap on the valve stem.
Without the valve cap, dirt or moisture could get into the
valve, resulting in damage to the tire inflation pressure
sensor.

Do not use metal valve caps, which may cause a metal
reaction, resulting in corrosion and damage of the tire
inflation pressure sensors.

Once adjustments have been made, the warning light will
go off after a few minutes of driving.
2. If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light
remains illuminated after you have been driving for about
20 minutes after you adjust the tire inflation pressure, one
or more of the tires may have a puncture. Inspect the tire
and if it has a puncture, have it repaired by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon as possible.

NOTE
To avoid the risk of damage to the tire inflation pressure
sensors, have any punctured tire repaired by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer. If the tire repair is not done by
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer, it is not covered
by your warranty.

Do not use an aerosol puncture-repair spray on any tire.
Such a spray could damage the tire inflation pressure sen-
sors. Have any puncture repaired by an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer.The tire pressure monitoring system may not work normally in
the following circumstances:

A wireless facility or device using the same frequency is
near the vehicle.

Snow or ice is stuck inside the fenders and/or on the
wheels.

The tire inflation pressure sensors’ battery is exhausted.

Wheels other than Mitsubishi genuine wheels are being
used.

Wheels that are not fitted with tire inflation pressure sen-
sors are being used.

Wheels whose ID codes are not memorized by the vehicle
are used.

A window tint that affects the radio wave signals is
installed.
NOTE
Tire inflation pressures vary with the ambient tempera-
ture. If the vehicle is subjected to large variations in ambi-
ent temperature, the tire inflation pressures may be under-
inflated (causing the warning light to come on) when the
ambient temperature is relatively low. If the warning light
comes on, adjust the tire inflation pressure.Whenever the tires and wheels are replaced with
new ones
N00532900108
If you use new wheels with new tire inflation pressure sensors,
their ID codes must be programmed into the tire pressure mon-
itoring system. Have tire and wheel replacement performed by
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to avoid the risk of
damaging the tire inflation pressure sensors. If the wheel

If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light
illuminates while you are driving, avoid hard brak-
ing, sharp steering maneuvers and high speeds.
Driving with an under-inflated tire adversely affects
vehicle performance and can result in an accident.
CAUTION
!
If a tire has a puncture, replace that tire with the
spare tire. Driving on a punctured tire could lead to
an accident.
The tire pressure monitoring system warning light
may not illuminate immediately in the event of a tire
blowout or rapid leak.
