The tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
malfunctions may occur for a variety of rea-
sons, including the installation of replace-
ment or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehi-
cle that prevent the tyre pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) from functioning properly.
Always check the tyre pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) malfunction telltale after re-
placing one or more tyres or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the replacement or al-
ternate tyres and wheels allow the tyre pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS) to continue
to function properly.
If the warning lamp/display il-
luminates while driving
E00637300037
1. If the warning lamp illuminates, avoid
hard braking, sharp steering manoeuvres
and high speeds. You should stop and
adjust the tyres to the proper inflation
pressure as soon as possible. Adjust the
spare tyre at the same time. Refer to
“Tyres” on page 10-13
NOTE
l
In addition, the warning display will be dis-
played on the information screen in the mul-
ti-information display.
l
When inspecting or adjusting the tyre pres-
sure, do not apply excessive force to the
valve stem to avoid breakage.
NOTE
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.
l
Using the tyre repair kit may damage the
tyre inflation pressure sensor. The vehicle
must promptly be inspected and repaired by
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
The tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
may not work normally in the following cir-
cumstances:
