Tire pressure monitoring system
5-86 Features and controls
5
N00554800110
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, the tire pressure monitoring
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 5-87 and take
the necessary measures.
WARNING
 The spare wheel does not have a tire infla-
tion pressure sensor.
When the spare tire is used, the tire pres-
sure monitoring system will not work
properly.
See an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer as soon as possible to replace or
repair the original tire.
NOTE
 The tire pressure monitoring system is not a
substitute for regularly checking tire infla-
tion pressures.
Be sure to check the tire inflation pressures
as described in “Tires” on page 9-12.
 Each of the grommets and washers where the
tire inflation pressure sensors are mounted
should be replaced with new ones when the
tire is replaced.
For details, contact your authorized Mitsubi-
shi Motors dealer.

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.
