Mitsubishi ECLIPSE CROSS 2017, Owner'S Manual

CAUTION
l
If the warning lamp does not illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is put
in ON, it means that the TPMS is not work-
ing properly. Have the system inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the
system may be preventing the monitoring of
the tyre pressure. Avoid sudden braking,
sharp turning and high-speed driving.
l If a malfunction is detected in the TPMS, the
warning lamp will blink for approximately 1
minute and then remain continuously illumi-
nated. The warning lamp will issue further
warnings each time the engine is restarted as
long as the malfunction exists.
Check to see whether the warning lamp goes
off after few minutes driving.
If it then goes off during driving, there is no
problem.
However, if the warning lamp does not go
off, or if it blinks again when the engine is
restarted, have the vehicle inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the
system may be preventing the monitoring of
the tyre pressure. For safety reasons, when
the warning lamp appears while driving,
avoid sudden braking, sharp turning and
high-speed driving.
NOTE
l
The warning display is displayed on the in-
formation screen in the multi-information
display.
Each tyre, including the spare, should be
checked monthly when cold and inflated to
the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the tyre inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has tyres of a
different size than the size indicated on the
tyre inflation pressure label, you should de-
termine the proper tyre inflation pressure for
those tyres.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with the TPMS that illumi-
nates a low tyre pressure telltale when one or
more of your tyres is significantly under-in-
flated.
Accordingly, when the low tyre pressure tell-
tale illuminates, you should stop and check
your tyres as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a sig-
nificantly under-inflated tyre causes the tyre
to overheat and can lead to tyre failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tyre tread life, and may affect the vehi-
cle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the tyre pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) is not a substitute for proper
tyre maintenance, and it is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to maintain correct tyre pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low
tyre pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
warning lamp to indicate when the system is
not operating properly.
The warning lamp is combined with the low
tyre pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the
telltale will flash for approximately one mi-
nute and then remain continuously illumina-
ted. This sequence will continue upon subse-
quent vehicle start-ups as long as the mal-
function exists.
When the warning lamp is illuminated, the
system may not be able to detect or signal
low tyre pressure as intended.
