1. If the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light illuminates, 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 at
the same time. Refer to “Tires” on page
9-12.
2. If the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light remains illuminated after
you have been driving for approximately
20 minutes after you adjust the tire infla-
tion pressure, one or more of the tires may
have a puncture. Inspect the tire and if it
has a puncture, have it repaired by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer as
soon 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 pressure 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.
Wheels whose ID codes are not memo-
rized by the vehicle are used.
Compact spare tire is fitted as a road
wheel.
If the warning light / display
illuminates while driving
NOTE
In addition, the warning 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 adjusting the tire 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
tire 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 of
driving.
WARNING
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 tire
could lead to an accident.
The warning light / display may not illumi-
nate immediately in the event of a tire blow-
out or rapid leak.
NOTE
NOTE
To avoid the risk of damage to the tire infla-
tion pressure sensors, have any punctured
tire repaired by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer. If the tire 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 authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
