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 mode
is in ON.
Refer to “If the warning lamp/display illumi-
nates while driving” on page 7-74 and take
the necessary measures.
NOTE
l
In addition, the warning display will be dis-
played on the information screen in the mul-
ti-information display.
CAUTION
l
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.
NOTE
l
In addition, the warning display will be dis-
played on the information screen in the mul-
ti-information display.
Each tyre, including the spare (if so equip-
ped), should be checked monthly when cold
and inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
tyre inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle
has tyres of a different size than the size indi-
cated on the tyre inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tyre inflation
pressure for those tyres.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with the tyre pressure moni-
toring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low
tyre pressure telltale when one or more of
your tyres is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tyre pressure tell-
tale illuminates, you should stop and check
your tyres as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a sig-
nificantly under-inflated tyre causes the tyre
to overheat and can lead to tyre failure.
