Tire pressure monitoring system
Features and controls 5-121
5
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recom-mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different sizethan the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper ti
re inflation pressure
for those tires.) As an added safety feat
ure, your vehicle has
been equipped with a tire pressure monitoringsystem (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 tell- tale illuminates, you
should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and inflatethem to the proper pressure. Driving on a sig- nificantly 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 vehi-cle’s handling and stoppi
ng ability. Please
note that the TPMS is
not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’sresponsibility to
maintain corre
ct tire pres-
sure, even if under-infl
ation has not reached
the level to trigger illumination of the TPMSlow tire pressure telltale. Your vehicle has also
been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indica
tor 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 min- ute and then remain c
ontinuously illuminated.
This sequence will c
ontinue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.When the malfunction indicator is illumi- nated, the system may not
be able to detect or
signal low tire pr
essure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions ma
y occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on thevehicle that prevent the TPMS from function- ing properly. Always
check the TPMS mal-
function telltale after
replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels
CAUTION If the tire pressure monitoring system warn- ing light does not illumi
nate when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the “ON” position orthe operation mode is put in ON, it means that the tire pressure monitoring system is not working properly. Have the systeminspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. In such situations, a malfunctioning of thesystem may be preventing the monitoring of the tire pressure. Avoid sudden braking, sharp turning and high-speed driving. If a malfunction is detected in the tire pres- sure monitoring system, the tire pressuremonitoring system warning light will blink for approximately 1 mi
nute and then remain
continuously illuminate
d. 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 noproblem. However, if the warning light does not go off, or if it blinks again when the engine isrestarted, have the
vehicle inspected by an
authorized Mitsubish
i Motors dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of thesystem may be preventing the monitoring of the tire pressure. For safety reasons, when the warning light appears while driving,avoid sudden braking, sharp turning and high-speed driving.
NOTE
 In addition, the warni
ng display is displayed

The tire and loading information placard is located on the inside sill of the driver’s door.
This placard shows the maximum number of occupants permitted to
ride in your vehicle as
well as “the combined
weight of occupants
and cargo” (A), which
is called the vehicle
capacity weight. The weight of any non-fac-tory installed options, as well as the tongue weight of a trailer being towed and roof load is included in the defi
nition of “cargo” when
determining the vehicle
capacity weight. This
placard also tells you the size and recom- mended inflation pressure for the originalequipment tires on your vehicle. For more information, refer to
“Tires” on page 9-15.

8. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tire touches the ground, by rotating the wheel nut wrench counterclockwise. 9. Tighten the nuts in the order shown in the illustration until each
nut has been tight-
ened to the torque listed here.65 to 80 ft-lb (88 to 108 N•m)
10. Lower the jack all the way and remove it. 11. Check the tire inflation pressure. The rec-
ommended tire pressure for your vehicleis listed on the tire
and loading informa-
tion placard attached to the driver’s door sill as shown in the illustration. Refer to“Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-18.
NOTE
 If all 4 aluminum wheels are changed to steel wheels, use tapered nuts.
CAUTION Never use your foot or a pipe extension to apply added force to the wheel nut wrenchwhen tightening the wheel nuts. If you do so, you can over-tighten the wheel nuts and damage the wheel, wheel nuts and hub bolts.
CAUTION Driving with an imprope
rly inflated tire can
cause an accident. If
you have no choice but
to drive with an under-inflated tire, keep your speed down and avoid sudden steering or braking, if possible. Inflate the tire to thecorrect pressure as s
oon as possible. Refer to
“Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-18. After changing the tire
and driving the vehi-
cle about 620 miles (1,000 km), retighten the wheel nuts to make sure
that they have not
come loose. If the steering wheel vibrates when driving after changing the tire, have the tire checked for balance at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice. Do not mix one type of tire with another or use a different size from the one listed. This would cause ea
rly wear and poor handling.

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of
the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified government test course
. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one and one-half (11/2) times as well on the government course
as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance
of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart signifi-cantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service
practices and differ-
ences in road characteristics and climate. The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under contro
lled conditions on
specified government te
st surfaces of asphalt
and concrete. A tire
marked C may have poor
traction performance.
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B and C, representing the ti
re’s resistance to the
generation of heat and it
s ability to dissipate
heat when tested un
der controlled conditions
on a specified indoor
laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce
tire life, and excessive temperature can leadto sudden tire failure. The grade C corre- sponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must
meet under the Fed-
eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels ofperformance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.

Proper tire inflation pre
ssure is essential for
the safe and satisfac
tory operation of your
vehicle. The wrong tire pressure will causeproblems in three major areas:  Safety Too little pressure increases flexing in the tire and can cause tire failure. Too muchpressure can cause a tire to lose its ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and potholes could then ca
use tire damage that
may result in tire failure.
 Economy The wrong tire pressure can cause unevenwear patterns in the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce the tread life, and the tire will have to bereplaced sooner. Too little pressure also makes it harder for the tire to roll, and this uses up more fuel. Ride comfort and vehicle stability The superior riding ex
perience built into
your vehicle partly depends on the correct tire pressure. Too mu
ch pressure gives an
uncomfortable and ja
rring ride. Too little
pressure feels as if your vehicle is slow to respond. Unequal tire pressures can make steeringyour vehicle uneven
and unpredictable.
The tire pressure for your vehicle under nor- mal driving conditions is
listed on the placard
attached to the driver’s door sill.(Refer to “Tire and loading information plac- ard” on page 11-3.) The recommended inflation pressures undernormal driving conditions should be used for the tires listed below.
