Tire pressure monitoring system 5-142 Features and controls

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 in
flation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different sizethan the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pres
sure label, you should
determine the proper ti
re inflation pressure
for those tires.) As an added safety fe
ature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a ti
re pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significan
tly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure tell- tale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate
them 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, a
nd may affect the vehi-
cle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’sresponsibility to mainta
in correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inf
lation 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 continuously illuminated.This sequence will continue 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 pressure as intended.TPMS malfunctions may
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 the
system 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 warn
ing light will blink
for approximately 1 minute and then remain continuously illuminated. The warning lightwill 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 Mitsubishi Motors dealer. In such situations,
a malfunctioning of the
system 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
on the information screen in the multi-infor-mation display.

allow the TPMS to continue to function prop- erly.

1. If the tire pressure monitoring systemwarning light illumi
nates, avoiding hard
braking, sharp steering maneuvers and high speeds. You should stop and adjust the tires to the proper inflation pressure as soon as possible. Adjust the spare tire atthe same time. Refer to “Tires” on page 9-16.
2. If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light remains illuminated afteryou have been driving for approximately 20 minutes after you adjust the tire infla- tion pressure, one or more of the tires mayhave a puncture. Inspect the tire and if it has a puncture, have it repaired by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer assoon as possible.
The tire pressure monitoring system may not work normally in the following circum- stances:  A wireless facility or device using the same frequency is near the vehicle.  Snow or ice is stuck inside the fenders and/or on the wheels. The tire inflation pres
sure sensor’s battery
is dead.  Wheels other than Mitsubishi genuine wheels are being used.  Wheels that are not fitted with tire infla- tion pressure sensors are being used.
If the warning light / display illuminates while driving
NOTE
 In addition, the warni
ng display is displayed
on the information screen in the multi-infor- mation display.  When inspecting or adjusting the tire pres- sure, do not apply excessive force to the valve stem to avoid breakage.  After inspecting or adju
sting the tire pres-
sure, always reinstall the valve cap on thevalve stem. Without the valve cap, dirt or moisture could get into the valve, resulting in damage to thetire inflation pressure sensor.  Do not use metal valve caps, which may cause a metal reaction, resulting in corrosion and damage of the tire inflation pressure sen- sors.
 Once adjustments have
been made, the warn-
ing light will go off after a few minutes ofdriving.WA R N I N G If the warning light / display illuminates while you are driving,
avoid hard braking,
sharp steering maneuvers and high speeds.Driving with an under-inflated tire adversely affects vehicle performance and can result in an accident.CAUTION If a tire has a puncture,
replace that tire with
the spare tire. Driving on a punctured tirecould lead to an accident. The warning light / di
splay may not illumi-
nate immediately in the
event of a tire blow-
out or rapid leak.NOTE
NOTE
 To avoid the risk of da
mage to the tire infla-
tion pressure sensors, have any puncturedtire repaired by an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer. If the tir
e repair is not done by
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer, it is not covered by your warranty.  Do not use an aerosol puncture-repair spray on any tire.Such a spray could damage the tire inflation pressure sensors. Have any puncture repaired by an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer.  Using the tire repair kit may damage the tire inflation pressure sensor. The vehicle must promptly be inspected and repaired by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer afterusing the tire repair kit.

If new wheels with new tire inflation pressuresensors are installed, their ID codes must beprogrammed into the tire pressure monitoring system. Have tire and wheel replacement per- formed by an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer to avoid the ri
sk of damaging the tire
inflation pressure sensors. If the wheel replacement is not done by an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer
, it is not covered by
your warranty.

In case that 2 sets of
tire inflation pressure
sensor ID are registered in the receiver, the valid tire ID set can be
changed by following
procedure. 1. Operate the multi information display switch to switch the information screen to the menu screen. Refer to “Multi information displayswitch” on page 5-158. Refer to “Changing th
e function settings”
on page 5-169.2. Lightly press the multi information dis- play switch to select “ ” (tire ID set change).
3. Hold down the multi information display switch for approxima
tely 3 seconds or
more. The setting changes to the selected tire ID set. 4. The valid tire ID set is changed, and the number of the tire
pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) SET i
ndicator is changed.

NOTE
 Tire inflation pressures vary with the ambi- ent temperature. If the
vehicle is subjected to
large variations in am
bient temperature, the
tire inflation pressures may be under-inflated (causing the warning li
ght / display come on)
when the ambient temperature is relatively low. If the warning light / display comes on, adjust the tire inflation pressure.
Whenever the tires and wheels are replaced with new ones
CAUTION The use of non-genuine wheels will prevent the proper fit of the tire inflation pressuresensors, resulting air
leakage or damage of
the sensors.
Tire ID set change
NOTE
 Each time this procedure is done, the tire ID set is changed. (1 - 2 - 1 - 2 …)  The tire ID set is NOT changed, in case that only 1 set of ID is registered.
