as you operate the vehicle in a safe manner.
Sensor locations
E00643600165
There are the sensors (A) on each of four pla-
ces of the front bumper and the rear bumper.CAUTIONl The UMS may not operate because the sen-
sor cannot detect the vehicle in front or ob-
stacle as follows.CAUTION• Vehicle towing a trailer etc.
• A freight trailer that is not carrying a con-
tainer.
• Vehicle that has a protruding load from
the carrier.
• An obstacle with a low height.
• Vehicle that has an extremely high ground
clearance.

UINE Parts when replacing the wind-
screen wipers.Tyre pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) E00637100282
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 display switch (It’s
beneficial in case of seasonal tyre change be-
tween summer tyre and winter tyre.)NOTEl The tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) is not a substitute for regularlychecking tyre inflation pressures.
Be sure to check the tyre inflation pressures as described in “Tyres” on page 11-10.
l The tyre inflation pressure sensor (B) is in-
stalled in the illustrated location.
• On vehicles with the type 1 sensor which
has the metallic air valve (C), replace
grommet and washer (D) with the new ones when the tyre is replaced.
