2. If the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light remains illuminated after
you have been driving for about 20 min-
utes after you adjust the tire inflation pres-
sure, one or more of the tires may have a
puncture. Inspect the tire and if it has a
puncture, have it repaired by an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon as
possible.
The tire pressure monitoring system may not
work normally in the following circum-
stances:

A wireless facility or device using the
same frequency is near the vehicle.

Snow or ice is stuck inside the fenders
and/or on the wheels.

The tire inflation pressure sensor’s battery
is dead.
 Wheels other than Mitsubishi genuine
wheels are being used.
 Wheels that are not fitted with tire infla-
tion pressure sensors are being used.
 Wheels whose ID codes are not memo-
rized by the vehicle are used.
 Compact spare tire is fitted on a road
wheel.
 A window tint that affects the radio wave
signals is installed.

If new wheels with new tire inflation pressure
sensors are installed, their ID codes must be
programmed into the tire pressure monitoring
system. Have the tire and wheel replacement
performed by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer to avoid the risk of damaging
the tire inflation pressure sensors. If the
 After inspecting or adjusting the tire 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
tire inflation pressure sensor.

Do not use metal valve caps, which may
cause a metal reaction, resulting in corrosion
and damage of the tire inflation pressure sen-
sors.
 Once adjustments have been made, the warn-
ing light will go off after a few minutes of
driving.
WARNING
 If the warning light/display illuminates
while you are driving, avoid hard braking,
sharp steering maneuvers and high
speeds.
Driving with an under-inflated tire
adversely affects vehicle performance and
can result in an accident.
NOTE CAUTION
 If a tire has a puncture, replace that tire with
the spare tire. Driving on a punctured tire
could lead to an accident.

The warning light/display may not illuminate
immediately in the event of a tire blowout or
rapid leak.
NOTE
 To avoid the risk of damage to the tire infla-
tion pressure sensors, have any punctured
tire repaired by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer. If the tire repair is not done by
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer, it is
not covered by your warranty.
 Do not use an aerosol puncture-repair spray
on any tire.
Such a spray could damage the tire inflation
pressure sensors.
Have any puncture repaired by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
NOTE
 Tire inflation pressures vary with the ambi-
ent temperature. If the vehicle is subjected to
large variations in ambient temperature, the
tire inflation pressures may be under-inflated
(causing the warning light/display to come
on) when the ambient temperature is rela-
tively low. If the warning light/display
comes on, adjust the tire inflation pressure.
Whenever the tires and wheels
are replaced with new ones
