NOTEOnce the brake assist system is operational, it maintains
great braking force even if the brake pedal is lightly
released.
To stop its operation, completely remove your foot from
the brake pedal.
The brake assist system may become operational when the
brake pedal is fully depressed even if it has not been
depressed suddenly.
When the brake assist system is in use while driving, you
may feel as if the depressed brake pedal is soft, the pedal
moves in small motions in conjunction with the operation
noise, or the vehicle body and the steering wheel vibrate.
This occurs when the brake assist system is operating nor-
mally and does not indicate faulty operation. Continue to
depress the brake pedal.
You may hear an operation noise when the brake pedal is
depressed suddenly while stationary. This does not indi-
cate a malfunction and the brake assist system is operating
normally.
Power steering system
N00518000293
The power steering system operates while the engine is run-
ning. It helps reduce the effort needed to turn the steering
wheel.
The power steering system has mechanical steering capability
in case the power assist is lost. If the power assist is lost for
some reason, you will still be able to steer your vehicle. If the
power assist is lost, you will notice it takes much more effort to
steer and that there is much more “free play” in the steering
wheel. If this happens, take your vehicle to an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
WA R N I N G
!Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is moving.
Stopping the engine would make the steering wheel
extremely hard to turn, possibly resulting in an acci-
dent.
CAUTION
!Do not leave the steering wheel turned all the way in
one direction. This can cause damage to the power
steering system.

3Tire pressure monitoring system
N00530200400
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.
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 7-19.
Each of the grommets and washers where the tire inflation
pressure sensors are mounted should be replaced with new
ones when the tire is replaced.
For details, contact your authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.
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.

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.
If the warning light/display illuminates while
driving

1. If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light illu-
minates, avoid 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-
19.NOTEIn addition, the warning display is displayed on the infor-
mation screen in the multi-information display.
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.

NOTETo 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 product on any tire.
Such a spray could damage the tire inflation pressure sen-
sors. Have any puncture repaired by an authorized
Mitsubishi 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 sensor’s battery is dead.
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.
Compact spare tire is fitted on a road wheel.
A window tint that affects the radio wave signals is
installed.
NOTETire 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/display to come on)
when the ambient temperature is relatively low. If the
warning light/display comes on, adjust the tire inflation
pressure.
WA R N I N G
!If the warning light/display illuminates while you
are driving, avoid hard braking, 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 warning light/display may not illuminate imme-
diately in the event of a tire blowout or rapid leak.

Whenever the tires and wheels are replaced with
new ones
N00532900179
If new wheels with new tire inflation pressure sensors are
installed, their ID codes must be programmed into the tire pres-
sure monitoring system. Have tire and wheel replacement per-
formed by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to avoid the
risk of damaging the tire inflation pressure sensors. If the
wheel replacement is not done by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer, it is not covered by your warranty.

3Turn signal lever
N00522600476
When changing lanes, or to making a gradual turn, hold the
lever in the “lane change” position (1). It will return to the neu-
tral position when you let go. Use the full position (2) when
making a normal turn. The lever will return to the neutral posi-
tion when the turn is complete. There may be times when the
lever does not return to the neutral position. This usually hap-
pens when the steering wheel is turned only slightly. You can
easily return the lever by hand.
Also, when you move the lever to (1) slightly then release it,
the turn signal lights and the indicator light in the instrument
cluster will flash three times.
NOTEA light in the instrument panel flashes to show when the
front and rear turn signal lights are working properly.
If this light flashes faster than usual, check for a burned
out turn signal light bulb or malfunctioning connection in
the signal.
If the panel light does not come on when the lever is
moved, check for a blown fuse or a burned out bulb in the
panel.
Have the system inspected by your authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
It is possible to modify functions as follows:
• Deactivate the turn signal light 3-flash function for lane
changes.
• Adjust the time required to operate the lever for the 3-
flash function.
For further information, please contact your authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
On vehicles equipped with Mitsubishi Multi-Communica-
tion System, screen operations can be used to make the
adjustment.
Refer to the separate owner’s manual for details.
