NOTEThe tyre pressure monitoringsystem warning lamp/display
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, the tyre pressure monitoring system
warning lamp normally illuminates and goes off a few seconds later.

If one or more of the vehicle tyres (except for the spare tyre) is significantly under-inflated,
the warning lamp will remain illuminated
while the ignition switch or the operation mode is in ON.
Refer to “If the warning lamp/display illumi- nates while driving” on page 6-76 and take
the necessary measurements.NOTEz In addition, the warning display will be dis-
played on the information screen in the mul-
ti-information display.CAUT,ONz 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 tyre pressure moni-
toring system (TPMS) is not working prop- erly. Have the system inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system may prevent the monitoring of the tyre pressure. Avoid sudden braking, sharp
turning and high-speed driving.

CAUT,ONzIf 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.NOTEz 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 checkyour 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

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 yourvehicle 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
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 inflationpressure as soon as possible. Adjust the spare tyre at the same time. Refer to
“Tyres” on page 10-10
NOTEz In addition, the warning display will be dis-
played on the information screen in the mul-
ti-information display.
z When inspecting or adjusting the tyre pres-
sure, do not apply excessive force to the
valve stem to avoid breakage.NOTEz 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.
z Do not use metal valve caps, which may
cause a metal reaction, resulting in corrosion and damage of the tyre inflation pressure
sensors.
z Once adjustments have been made, the
warning lamp will go off after a few minutesof 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 tyresmay have a puncture. Inspect the tyreand if it has a puncture, have it repaired
by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point as soon as possible.
:ARN,NGz 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.CAUT,ONz The warning lamp/display may not illumi-
nate immediately in the event of a tyre blow- out or rapid leak.NOTEz 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.
z 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.
z 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:
z A wireless facility or device using the
same frequency is near the vehicle.

NOTEzThe reset function should be executed every
time when the tyre pressure or tyre rotationis adjusted.
z The reset function should be executed when
the tyre is cold. If it is executed when the
tyre is warm (e.g. after driving), there may be a low tyre pressure warning earlier than
usual.Tyre ID set change
In case that 2 sets of tyre inflation pressure
sensor ID are registered in the receiver, the
valid tyre ID set can be changed by following
procedure. 1. Operate the multi-information meter
switch to switch the information screen to the menu screen.
Refer to “Multi information display switch” on page 5-05.
Refer to “Changing the function settings (when the ignition switch or the opera-
tion mode is ON)” on page 5-17.
2. Lightly press the multi-information me-
ter switch to select “
” (tyre
ID set change).
3. Press and hold the multi-information
meter switch for approximately 3 sec-
onds or more. The setting changes the
selected tyre ID set.NOTEz Each time this procedure is done, the tyre ID
set is changed. (1 - 2 - 1 - 2

Corner and back sensor loca-tions
There are two corner sensors (A) at the cor-ners of the rear bumper, and two back sensors
(B) in the centre of the rear bumper.
Reversing sensor system detec-
tion areas
Depending on whether the vehicle is equip-
ped with a towing bar, you can change the re-
versing sensor system between the standard
mode and the towing bar mode. The towing
bar mode changes the system to exclude the area in which the towing bar is mounted from the detection areas.
Vehicles without a towing bar
The detection areas are within approximately
60 cm (A) from the corner sensors, 150 cm
(B) from the back sensors, and 60 cm (C) or
less from the ground surface, excluding the area approximately 10 cm (D) from the
ground surface.
Vehicles with a towing bar
The detection areas are within approximately 60 cm (A) from the corner sensors, 150 cm
(B) from the back sensors, and 60 cm (C) or less from the ground surface, excluding the
area approximately 10 cm (D) from the
ground surface. The non-detection areas (E) are within approximately 20 cm (F) from thebumper.
NOTEz If the rear bumper has been exposed to an
impact, the corner or back sensors may failand prevent the system from functioning
properly. Have the vehicle inspected at a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.

NOTEzThe sensors do not detect objects located in
the area directly below or near the bumper.
If the height of an object is lower than the mounted position of the corner or back sen-
sors, the sensors may not continue detecting it even if they detected it initially.
For information on how to change the detec-
tion areas, please refer to “Changing the de- tection areas” on page 6-81.

The detection areas can be changed as fol-
lows:
Vehicles with a towing bar
While the operation of the system is stopped
at the “SONAR” switch, push the “SONAR”
switch approximately 3 seconds or more, and release it. The buzzer sounds twice to indi-cate that the detection area has been changed.
Vehicles without a towing bar
While the operation of the system is stopped
at the “SONAR” switch, push the “SONAR”
switch approximately 3 seconds or more, and
release it. The buzzer sounds once to indicate that the detection area has been changed.
