MITSUBISHI MOTORS GEN-
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.

NOTE•On vehicles with the type 2 sensor which
has the rubber air valve (E), replace the rubber air valve (E) with the new one
when the tyre is replaced.
For details, please contact your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.Tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem warning lamp/display
E00637200078
When 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 is signifi-
cantly under-inflated, the warning lamp will remain illuminated while the operation modeis in ON.
Refer to “If the warning lamp/display illumi-
nates while driving” on page 7-91 and take
the necessary measures.
NOTEl In addition, the warning display will be dis-
played on the information screen in the mul-
ti-information display.CAUTIONl If the warning lamp does not illuminate
when the operation mode is put in ON, it
means that the tyre pressure monitoring sys- tem (TPMS) is not working properly. Have
the system inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system may be preventing the monitoring of the tyre pressure. Avoid sudden braking,
sharp turning and high-speed driving.
l If a malfunction is detected in the tyre pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS), the warn-
ing lamp will blink for approximately 1 mi- nute and then remain continuously illumina-
ted. The warning lamp will issue further
warnings each time the Plug-in Hybrid EV
System is restarted as long as the malfunc- tion exists.
Check to see whether the warning lamp goes
off after few minutes driving.
If it then goes off during driving, there is no
problem.
However, if the warning lamp does not go off, or if it blinks again when the Plug-in
Hybrid EV System is restarted, have the ve- hicle inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system may be preventing the monitoring of the tyre pressure. For safety reasons, when
the warning lamp appears while driving,
avoid sudden braking, sharp turning and high-speed driving.

NOTElWhen inspecting or adjusting the tyre pres-
sure, do not apply excessive force to the valve stem to avoid breakage.
l 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 minutes of 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.
Have any puncture repaired by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.NOTEl Using the tyre repair kit may damage the
tyre inflation pressure sensor. The vehiclemust promptly be inspected and repaired by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point after using the tyre repair kit.
The tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
may not work normally in the following cir-
cumstances:
l A wireless facility or device using the
same frequency is near the vehicle.
l Snow or ice is stuck inside the fenders
and/or on the wheels.
l The tyre inflation pressure sensor’s bat-
tery is dead.
l Wheels other than
MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE wheels are being
used.
l Wheels that are not fitted with tyre infla-
tion pressure sensors are being used.
l Wheels whose ID codes are not memo-
rized by the vehicle are used.
l A window tint that affects the radio
wave signals is installed.

NOTElTyre 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 underinflated
(causing the warning lamp/display come on) when the ambient temperature is relatively low. If the warning lamp/display comes on,
adjust the 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

E00615501515
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.CAUTIONl Make sure to check the surroundings with
your own eyes to ensure safety. Do not oper-
ate the vehicle by relying on the reversing sensor system alone.Obstacle detection areas
E00615601718
The detection areas of the corner and back
sensors are limited to those shown in the il-
lustration. Moreover, the sensors are unable to detect low or thin objects or objects nearthe rear bumper. Thus, make sure to check
the surroundings as you operate the vehicle in a safe manner.
