Mitsubishi ASX 2016

CAUTION
l
If a malfunction is detected in the tyre pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS), the warn-
ing lamp will blink for approximately 1 mi-
nute and then remain continuously illumina-
ted.
The warning lamp will issue further warn-
ings 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
In addition, the warning display will be dis-
played on the information screen in the mul-
ti-information display.
NOTE

Each tyre, including the spare (if so equip-
ped), should be checked monthly when cold
and inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
tyre inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle
has tyres of a different size than the size indi-
cated on the tyre inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tyre inflation
pressure for those tyres.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with the tyre pressure moni-
toring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low
tyre pressure telltale when one or more of
your tyres is significantly under-inflated.
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 tyre pres-
sure monitoring system (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.
