Mitsubishi MOTORS OUTLANDER, Owner'S Manual

Page: 309 / 602

NOTE
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 about 10
minutes after you adjust the tyre infla-
tion 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 Author-
ized Service Point as soon as possible.
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.
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 tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
may not work normally in the following cir-
cumstances:
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.
NOTE
l
Tyre inflation pressures vary with the ambi-
ent temperature. If the vehicle is subjected to
large variations in ambient temperature, the
tyre inflation pressures may be underinflated
(causing the warning lamp/display come on)
when the ambient temperature is relatively
low. If the warning lamp/display comes on,
adjust the tyre inflation pressure.
