Anti-lock braking system warning light
When this light comes on, the anti-lock braking system is not func-
tioning and only the ordinary braking system is functioning.

Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop the engine.
Test the system as described on page 3-142.

If the light does not go out after the test, or if it comes on again, we
recommend that you have the system checked at an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon as
possible.P.3-141,
3-142
SRS warning light
It is not necessary to stop the vehicle immediately, but we recommend
that you have the airbag and the pre-tensioner seat belt system
checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon as possi-
ble.P. 2 - 2 3 ,
2-44
Tire pressure monitoring system warning light
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 7-32.)
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
remain continuously 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 autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.P.3-160

The brakes are not functioning
properly after driving through
water. Dry out the brakes by driving slowly while lightly pressing the brake pedal. P.4-6
The CVT makes no engine speed to
vehicle speed ratio change when
accelerating. The initial movement
of the vehicle is slow when the
vehicle starts moving.
(for vehicles with CVT)There may be a problem in the CVT.
If the or warning lights on the multi-information display will not turn off, or if
they are coming on frequently, please have the vehicle checked at your nearest Mit-
subishi Motors dealer. P. 3 - 1 0 9
Twin Clutch SST does not shift.
Vehicle cannot move.
Acceleration is slow.
The vehicle does not creep.
A large shock is felt when shifting.
Shifting occurs at higher engine
speed.
Response is slow.
(for vehicles with Twin Clutch
SST)The temperature of the Twin Clutch SST fluid is high, a safety device in the Twin
Clutch SST has been activated due to a possible malfunction in the Twin Clutch
SST, or there is a possible malfunction in the engine electronic control module.P.3-115, 3-

A tire is punctured.
1. Park the vehicle in a safe place where the surface is flat and level.
2. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire.P. 6 - 9BK0119300US.book 6 ページ ２０１０年５月２１日　金曜日　午前１０時１３分

Side airbag system
(if so equipped)
N00408100405
The side airbags (A) are contained in the driver and front pas-
senger seatbacks.
The side airbag is designed to inflate only on the side of the
vehicle that is impacted, even with no passenger in the front
seat.
WA R N I N G
!
Do not attempt to remove, install, disassemble or
repair the SRS airbags.
Do not place objects, such as packages or pets,
between the airbags and the driver or the front pas-
senger. Such objects can adversely affect airbag per-
formance, or cause serious injury or death when the
airbag deploys.
Immediately after airbag inflation, some parts of the
airbag system will be hot. Do not touch them. You
could be burned.
The airbag system is designed to work only once.
After the airbags 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.

3Cautions on handling of all-wheel drive
vehicles
N00530800145
Tires and wheelsSince driving torque can be applied to all four wheels, the per-
formance 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 specified tires on all wheels. Refer to “Tires and
wheels” on page 9-10.

Be sure to fit all four tires and wheels of the same size and
type.
When replacement of any of the tires or wheels is neces-
sary, replace all of them.

All tires should be rotated whenever 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 “Tire rotation” on page
7-35.

Check the tire inflation pressure regularly.
CAUTION
!
Always use tires of the same size, same type, and
same brand, and which have no wear differences.
Using tires that differ in size, type, brands or the
degree of wear, will increase the differential oil tem-
perature, resulting in possible damage to the driving
system. Further, the drive train will be subjected to
excessive loading, possibly leading to oil leakage,
component seizure, or other serious problems.

However, you must repeat the speed setting procedure under
either of the following conditions:

The ignition switch is turned to the “OFF” position.

The cruise control is turned OFF.

“CRUISE” indicator light is turned off.
Tire pressure monitoring system
N00530200237
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 spare wheel does not have a tire inflation pres-
sure sensor.
When the spare tire is used, the tire pressure moni-
toring 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 7-29.

Each of the grommets and washers where the tire inflation
pressure sensors are mounted should be replaced with new
one when the tire is replaced.
For details, contact your authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.
The tire pressure monitoring system warning
light / display
N00532700294
When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, the
tire pressure monitoring system warning light normally illumi-
nates and goes off a few seconds later.
If one or more of the vehicle tires (except for the spare tire) is
significantly under-inflated, however, the warning light will
remain illuminated while the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position.
Refer to “If the warning light illuminates while driving” on
page 3-161 and take the necessary measures.NOTE
In addition, the warning display is displayed on the infor-
mation screen in the multi-information display.
