Instruments and controls
mended you visit an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer for this service as soon as
possible.
.
If the light illuminates while driving, avoid
sudden steering maneuvers or abrupt
braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull off the
road to a safe location and stop the vehicle
as soon as possible. Driving with under-
inflated tires may permanently damage the
tires and increase the likelihood of tire
failure. Serious vehicle damage could
occur and may lead to an accident and
could result in serious personal injury.
Check the tire pressure for all four tires.
Adjust the tire pressure to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure shown on the
Tire and Loading Information placard to
turn the low tire pressure warning light
OFF. If the light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire pressure, a
tire may be flat or the TPMS may be
malfunctioning. If you have a flat tire,
repair it with the tire repair kit as soon as
possible. If no tire is flat and all tires are
properly inflated, it is recommended you
consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.
.
If a wheel that not equipped with the
TPMS is installed, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure warning
light will flash for approximately 1 minute.
The light will remain on after 1 minute.
Have your tires replaced and/or TPMS
system reset as soon as possible. It is
recommended you visit an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer for these ser-
vices.
.
Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by Mitsubishi Motors could affect
the proper operation of the TPMS.
CAUTION
.
The TPMS is not a substitute for the
regular tire pressure check. Be sure to
check the tire pressure regularly.
.
If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of
less than 16 MPH (25 km/h), the TPMS
may not operate correctly.
.
Be sure to install the specified size of tires
to the four wheels correctly.
Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)
If the malfunction indicator light comes on
steady or blinks while the engine is running, it
may indicate a potential emission control and/or
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
malfunction.
The malfunction indicator light may also
illuminate steady if the vehicle runs out of fuel.
Check to make sure that the vehicle has at least
3 US gallons (11.4 liters) of fuel in the fuel
tank.
After a few driving trips, the light should
turn off if no other potential emission control
system malfunction exists.
If this indicator light remains on for 20 seconds
and then blinks for 10 seconds when the engine
is not running, it indicates that the vehicle is not
ready for an emission control system inspection/
maintenance test. (See “Readiness for Inspec-
tion/Maintenance (I/M) test” (P.10-33).)
Operation:
The malfunction indicator light will come on in
one of two ways:
. Malfunction indicator light on steady — An
emission control system and/or CVT mal-
function has been detected. It is recom-
mended you visit an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer for this service. You do not
need to have your vehicle towed to the
dealer.
.
Malfunction indicator light blinking — An
engine misfire has been detected which may
damage the emission control system.
To reduce or avoid emission control system
damage:
1) Do not drive at speeds above 45 MPH
(72 km/h).
