When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the ope
ration mode is put in
ON, the tire pressure monitoring system warning light normally
illuminates and goes
off a few seconds later. If one or more of the vehicle tires (except for the spare tire) is signi
ficantly under-inflated,
the warning light will remain illuminated while the ignition switch or the operationmode is in ON. Refer to “If the warning light illuminates while driving” on page 5-60 and take the nec-essary measures.
NOTE
The TPMS is not a substitute for regularly checking tire inflation pressures.Be sure to check the tire inflation pressuresas described in “Tires” on page 9-12. The tire inflation pressure sensor (A) is installed in the illustrated location. Replace rubber air valve (B) with a new one when the tire is replaced. For details, please
contact your authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
Tire pressure monitoring sys- tem warning light
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 TPMS is not working properly. Have the system inspected by an authorized Mit-subishi Motors dealer. In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system may be preventing the monitoring ofthe tire pressure. Avoid sudden braking, sharp turning and high-speed driving. If a malfunction is detected in the TPMS, the tire pressure monitoring system warning light will blink for a
pproximately 1 minute
and then remain cont
inuously illuminated.
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 no problem. However, if the warning light does not gooff, or if it blinks again when the engine is restarted, have the
vehicle inspected by an
authorized Mitsubish
i Motors dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system may be preventing the monitoring of the tire pressure. For safety reasons, whenthe warning light appears while driving, avoid sudden braking, sharp turning and high-speed driving.
