CAUTION
l
The warning lamp may not illuminate imme-
diately in the event of a tyre blowout or rap-
id leak.
NOTE
l To avoid the risk of damage to the tyre infla-
tion pressure sensors, have any punctured
tyre repaired by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point. If the tyre repair is
not done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point, damage to the tyre
inflation pressure sensor is not covered by
your warranty.
l Do not use an aerosol puncture-repair spray
on any tyre.
Such a spray could damage the tyre inflation
pressure sensors.
Have any puncture repaired by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
l Using the tyre repair kit may damage the
tyre inflation pressure sensor. The vehicle
must promptly be inspected and repaired by
a certified MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point after using the tyre repair
kit.
The tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
may not work normally in the following cir-
cumstances:
l
A wireless facility or device using the
same frequency is near the vehicle.
l Snow or ice is stuck inside the fenders
and/or on the wheels.
l The tyre inflation pressure sensor’s bat-
tery is dead.
l
Wheels other than MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE wheels are being
used.
l Wheels that are not fitted with tyre infla-
tion pressure sensors are being used.
l
Wheels whose ID codes are not memo-
rized by the vehicle are used.
l A window tint that affects the radio
wave signals is installed.
NOTE
l Tyre inflation pressures vary with the ambi-
ent temperature. If the vehicle is subjected to
large variations in ambient temperature, the
tyre inflation pressures may be underinflated
(causing the warning lamp come on) when
the ambient temperature is relatively low. If
the warning lamp comes on, adjust the tyre
inflation pressure.
Whenever the tyres and wheels
are replaced with new ones
If new wheels with new tyre inflation pres-
sure sensors are installed, their ID codes must
be programmed into the tyre pressure moni-
toring system. Have tyre and wheel replace-
ment performed by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point to avoid
the risk of damaging the tyre inflation pres-
sure sensors. If the wheel replacement is not
done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point, it is not covered by your
warranty.
CAUTION
l The use of non-genuine wheels will prevent
the proper fit of the tyre inflation pressure
sensors, resulting air leakage or damage of
the sensors.
Reset of low tyre pressure
warning threshold
The threshold is set based on the tyre pres-
sure which the reset function is executed by
following procedure.
1. Transit the display by multi-information
display switch until the tyre pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) SET indica-
tor is displayed.
