If the warning lamp/display il-
luminates while driving
1. If the warning lamp illuminates, avoid
hard braking, sharp steering manoeuvres
and high speeds. You should stop and
adjust the tyres to the proper inflation
pressure as soon as possible. Adjust the
spare tyre at the same time. Refer to
“Tyres” on page 10-13.
NOTE
l In addition, the warning display will be dis-
played on the information screen in the mul-
ti-information display.
l When inspecting or adjusting the tyre pres-
sure, do not apply excessive force to the
valve stem to avoid breakage.
l After inspecting or adjusting the tyre 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
tyre inflation pressure sensor.
l Do not use metal valve caps, which may
cause a metal reaction, resulting in corrosion
and damage of the tyre inflation pressure
sensors.
l Once adjustments have been made, the
warning lamp will go off after a few minutes
of driving.
2. If the warning lamp remains illuminated
after you have been driving for approxi-
mately 10 minutes after you adjust the
tyre inflation pressure, one or more of
the tyres may have a puncture. Inspect
the tyre and if it has a puncture, have it
repaired by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point as soon as pos-
sible.
WARNING
l If the warning lamp/display illuminates
while you are driving, avoid hard brak-
ing, sharp steering manoeuvres and high
speeds.
Driving with an under-inflated tyre ad-
versely affects vehicle performance and
can result in an accident.
CAUTION
l The warning lamp/display may not illumi-
nate immediately in the event of a tyre blow-
out or rapid 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.
NOTE
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.
The TPMS may not work normally in the fol-
lowing circumstances:
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.
