3 Tire pressure monitoring system
(if so equipped)
N00530200471
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.
The tire inflation pressure sensor (A) is installed in the
illustrated location.
• On vehicles with Type 1 sensor which has the metallic
air valve (B), replace grommet and washer (C) with a
new one when the tire is replaced.
• On vehicles with Type 2 sensor which has the rubber air
valve (D), replace rubber air valve (D) with a new one
when the tire is replaced.

!The compact spare wheel (if so equipped) does not
have a tire inflation pressure 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.
