system (TPMS)* E00637100165
The tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
uses tyre inflation pressure sensors (A) on the wheels to monitor the tyre inflation pressures.
The system only indicates when a tyre is sig-
nificantly under-inflated.
The  base  tyre  pressure  can  be  set  at  desired value by the driver with the reset function ex-
ecution. (The low pressure warning threshold is set based on the reset.)
The tyre inflation pressure sensor IDs for two
sets  of  tyres  can  be  registered  by  aMITSUBISHI  MOTORS   Authorized  Service
Point, and the valid ID set can be switched by the  multi-information  meter  switch  (It’s  ben-
eficial  in  case  of  seasonal  tyre  change  be- tween summer tyre and winter tyre.)WARNINGl The  spare  wheel  does  not  have  a  tyre  in-
flation pressure sensor.
When the spare tyre is used, the tyre pres- sure  monitoring  system  will  not  work
properly.
See  a  MITSUBISHI  MOTORS  Author-
ized  Service  Point  as  soon  as  possible  to replace or repair the original tyre.

When  the  ignition  switch  is  turned  to  the
“ON” position or the operation mode is put in
ON,  the  tyre  pressure  monitoring  system warning  lamp  normally  illuminates  and  goes
off a few seconds later.
 
If one or more of the vehicle tyres (except for the  spare  tyre)  is  significantly  under-inflated, the  warning  lamp  will  remain  illuminated
while  the  ignition  switch  or  the  operation mode is in ON.
Refer  to  “If  the  warning  lamp/display  illumi-
nates  while  driving”  on  page  6-62  and  take
the necessary measurements.NOTEl In  addition,  the  warning  display  will  be  dis-
played on the information screen in the mul-
ti-information display.Type 1NOTEType 2CAUTIONl If  the  warning  lamp  does  not  illuminate
when  the  ignition  switch  is  turned  to  the
“ON”  position  or  the  operation  mode  is  put
in  ON,  it  means  that  the  tyre  pressure  moni-
toring  system  (TPMS)  is  not  working  prop- erly.  Have  the  system  inspected  by  a
MITSUBISHI  MOTORS   Authorized  Serv-
ice Point.
In  such  situations,  a  malfunctioning  of  the system  may  prevent  the  monitoring  of  the tyre  pressure.  Avoid  sudden  braking,  sharp
turning and high-speed driving.
Tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)*
6-60OGAE15E5Starting and driving6         

The tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
malfunctions  may  occur  for  a  variety  of  rea- sons,  including  the  installation  of  replace- ment or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehi-cle  that  prevent  the  tyre  pressure  monitoring
system  (TPMS)  from  functioning  properly.
Always  check  the  tyre  pressure  monitoring system  (TPMS)  malfunction  telltale  after  re- placing  one  or  more  tyres  or  wheels  on  yourvehicle  to  ensure  that  the  replacement  or  al- ternate  tyres  and  wheels  allow  the  tyre  pres-
sure  monitoring  system  (TPMS)  to  continue to function properly.If the warning lamp/display il-
luminates while driving
E00637300037
1. If  the  warning  lamp  illuminates,  avoid
hard  braking,  sharp  steering  manoeuvres
and  high  speeds.  You  should  stop  and adjust  the  tyres  to  the  proper  inflationpressure  as  soon  as  possible.  Adjust  the spare  tyre  at  the  same  time.  Refer  to
“Tyres” on page 10-13
NOTEl In  addition,  the  warning  display  will  be  dis-
played on the information screen in the mul-
ti-information display.
l When  inspecting  or  adjusting  the  tyre  pres-
sure,  do  not  apply  excessive  force  to  the
valve stem to avoid breakage.NOTEl After  inspecting  or  adjusting  the  tyre  pres-
sure,  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 tyre inflation pressure sensor.
l Do  not  use  metal  valve  caps,  which  may
cause a metal reaction, resulting in corrosion and  damage  of  the  tyre  inflation  pressure
sensors.
l Once  adjustments  have  been  made,  the
warning lamp will go off after a few minutesof driving.
2. If  the  warning  lamp  remains  illuminated
after you have been driving for about 10
minutes  after  you  adjust  the  tyre  infla- tion  pressure,  one  or  more  of  the  tyresmay  have  a  puncture.  Inspect  the  tyreand  if  it  has  a  puncture,  have  it  repaired
by  a  MITSUBISHI  MOTORS  Author-
ized Service Point as soon as possible.
WARNINGl If  the  warning  lamp/display  illuminates
while  you  are  driving,  avoid  hard  brak- ing,  sharp  steering  manoeuvres  and  high speeds.
Driving  with  an  under-inflated  tyre  ad-
versely  affects  vehicle  performance  and
can result in an accident.CAUTIONl The  warning  lamp/display  may  not  illumi-
nate immediately in the event of a tyre blow- out or rapid leak.NOTEl To avoid the risk of damage to the tyre infla-
tion  pressure  sensors,  have  any  punctured
tyre  repaired  by  a  MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point. If the tyre repair is
not  done  by  a  MITSUBISHI MOTORS  Au-
thorized  Service  Point,  damage  to  the  tyre
inflation  pressure  sensor  is  not  covered  by your warranty.
l Do  not  use  an  aerosol  puncture-repair  spray
on any tyre.
Such a spray could damage the tyre inflation
pressure sensors.

l A  window  tint  that  affects  the  radio
wave signals is installed.NOTEl Tyre  inflation  pressures  vary  with  the  ambi-
ent temperature. If the vehicle is subjected to large  variations  in  ambient  temperature,  the tyre  inflation  pressures  may  be  low  (causing
the  warning  lamp/display  to  come  on)  when the  ambient  temperature  is  relatively  low.  If the  warning  lamp/display  comes  on,  adjustthe tyre inflation pressure.Whenever the tyres and wheels
are replaced with new ones
E00637400025
If  new  wheels  with  new  tyre  inflation  pres-
sure sensors are installed, their ID codes must be  programmed  into  the  tyre  pressure  moni- toring  system.  Have  tyre  and  wheel  replace-
ment  performed  by  a  MITSUBISHI
MOTORS   Authorized  Service  Point  to  avoid
the  risk  of  damaging  the  tyre  inflation  pres- sure  sensors.  If  the  wheel  replacement  is  not
done  by  a  MITSUBISHI  MOTORS  Author-
ized  Service  Point,  it  is  not  covered  by  your warranty.
CAUTIONl The  use  of  non-genuine  wheels  will  prevent
the  proper  fit  of  the  tyre  inflation  pressure sensors,  resulting  air  leakage  or  damage  of
the sensors.Reset of low tyre pressure

E00615500345
This  system  operates  when  you  are  backingthe vehicle. It uses corner and back sensors to detect  an  obstacle  and  the  information  screen
in  the  multi-information  display  and  the  buz-
zer to inform you of the approximate distance to the obstacle.
CAUTIONl The  reversing  sensor  system  assists  you  in
determining  the  approximate  distance  be-
tween  the  vehicle  and  an  obstacle  located behind the vehicle. It has limitations in terms
of  detectable  areas  and  objects,  and  may  not
properly  detect  some  objects.  Therefore,  do not place excessive confidence in the revers-
ing  sensor  system  and  operate  the  vehicle  as carefully as you would do with a vehicle not equipped with this system.
