system warning light normally illuminates
and goes off a few seconds later.
If one or more of the vehicle tires (except for
the spare tire) is significantly under-inflated,
the warning light will remain illuminated
while the ignition switch is in the “ON” posi-
tion.
Refer to “If the warning light/display illumi-
nates while driving” on page 5-86 and take
the necessary measures.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation pressure
for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more of your
tires is significantly under-inflated.
NOTE
 In addition, the warning display is displayed
on the information screen in the multi-infor-
mation display.

CAUTION
 If the tire pressure monitoring system warn-
ing light does not illuminate when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the “ON” position, it
means that the tire pressure monitoring sys-
tem is not working properly. Have the sys-
tem inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the
system may be preventing the monitoring of
the tire pressure. Avoid sudden braking,
sharp turning and high-speed driving.
 If a malfunction is detected in the tire pres-
sure monitoring system, the tire pressure
monitoring system warning light will blink
for approximately 1 minute and then remain
continuously illuminated. The warning light
will issue further warnings each time the
engine is restarted as long as the malfunction
exists.
Check to see whether the warning light goes
off after few minutes driving.
If it then goes off during driving, there is no
problem.
However, if the warning light does not go
off, or if it blinks again when the engine is
restarted, have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the
system may be preventing the monitoring of
the tire pressure. For safety reasons, when
the warning light appears while driving,
avoid sudden braking, sharp turning and
high-speed driving.
NOTE
 In addition, the warning display is displayed
on the information screen in the multi-infor-
mation display.
