The tire pressure monitoring system warning
light / display
N00532700236
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, the warning light will remain illu-
minated while the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.
Refer to “If the warning light / display illuminates while driv-
ing” on page 3-155 and take the necessary measures.NOTE
In addition, the warning display is displayed on the infor-
mation screen in the multi-information display.

CAUTION
!
If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light
does not illuminate when the ignition switch 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.
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 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.

Ty p e 1
Ty p e 2Each 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.
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-
24.NOTE
In 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.
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 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.
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
immediately in the event of a tire blowout or rapid
leak.

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 / display come on)
when the ambient temperature is relatively low. If the
warning light / display comes on, adjust the tire inflation
pressure.Whenever the tires and wheels are replaced with
new ones
N00532900081
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.
