NOTE
Tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem warning lamp
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or 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 are signifi-
cantly under-inflated, the warning lamp will
remain illuminated while the ignition switch
or the operation mode is in ON.
Refer to “If the warning lamp illuminates
while driving” on page 6-45 and take the
necessary measures.
CAUTION
l If the warning lamp does not illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is put
in ON, it means that the tyre pressure moni-
toring system (TPMS) is not working prop-
erly. Have the system inspected at a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the
system may prevent the monitoring of the
tyre pressure. Avoid sudden braking, sharp
turning and high-speed driving.
CAUTION
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 warn-
ings each time the engine is restarted as long
as the malfunction 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 engine is
restarted, have the vehicle inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice 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.
Each tyre, including the spare, should be
checked monthly when cold and inflated to
the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the tyre inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has tyres of a
different size than the size indicated on the
tyre inflation pressure label, you should de-
termine the proper tyre inflation pressure for
those tyres.)
