Tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)*

2. If the warning lamp remains illuminated
after you have been driving for approxi-
mately 10 minutes after you adjust the
tyre inflation pressure, one or more of the
tyres may have a puncture. Inspect the
tyre and if it has a puncture, have it
repaired by an authorised MITSUBISHI
MOTORS dealer as soon as possible.
The tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
may not work normally in the following cir-
cumstances:
 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 tyre inflation pressure sensor’s bat-
tery is dead.
 Wheels other than MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE wheels are being
used.
 Wheels that are not fitted with tyre infla-
tion pressure sensors are being used.
 Wheels whose ID codes are not memo-
rized by the vehicle are used.
 A window tint that affects the radio wave
signals is installed.
E00637400083
If new wheels with new tyre inflation pres-
sure sensors are installed, their ID codes must
be programmed into the tyre pressure moni-
toring system. Have tyre and wheel replace-
ment performed by an authorised
MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer to avoid the
risk of damaging the tyre inflation pressure
sensors. If the wheel replacement is not done
by an authorised MITSUBISHI MOTORS
dealer, it is not covered by your warranty.
 Do not use metal valve caps, which may
cause a metal reaction, resulting in corrosion
and damage of the tyre inflation pressure
sensors.

Once adjustments have been made, the warn-
ing lamp will go off after a few minutes of
driving.
WARNING
 If the warning lamp/display illuminates
while you are driving, avoid hard braking,
sharp steering maneuvers and high
speeds.
Driving with an under-inflated tyre
adversely affects vehicle performance and
can result in an accident.
CAUTION
 The warning lamp/display may not illumi-
nate immediately in the event of a tyre blow-
out or rapid leak.
NOTE NOTE
 To avoid the risk of damage to the tyre infla-
tion pressure sensors, have any punctured
tyre repaired by an authorised MITSUBISHI
MOTORS dealer. If the tyre repair is not
done by an authorised MITSUBISHI
MOTORS dealer, damage to the tyre infla-
tion pressure sensor is not covered by your
warranty.

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 an authorised
MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.
NOTE
 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 low (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.

are replaced with new ones
