Tire pressure monitoring
system (if so equipped)
5-58 Features and controls
5
Each tire, including the spare, should be checked monthly when cold and inflated tothe inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufac
turer on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressu
re label. (If your vehi-
cle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire infla-
tion pressure label, yo
u should determine the
proper tire inflation pr
essure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when
one or more of your
tires is significant
ly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure tell- tale illuminates, you should stop and checkyour tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a sig- nificantly under-inflated
tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead
to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehi-cle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’sresponsibility to mainta
in correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inf
lation has not
reached
the level to trigger illumination of the TPMSlow tire pressure telltale. Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combinedwith the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one min-ute and then remain c
ontinuously illuminated.
This sequence will c
ontinue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunctionexists. When the malfunction indicator is illumi- nated, the system may not
be able to detect or
signal low tire pr
essure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from function-ing properly. Always
check the TPMS mal-
function telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure thatthe replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function prop- erly.

1. If the tire pressure monitoring systemwarning light illum
inates, avoid hard
braking, sharp steering maneuvers and high speeds. You should stop and adjust the tires to the proper inflation pressure assoon as possible. Adjust the spare tire at the same time. Refer to “Tires” on page 9-12.
If the warning light illuminates while driving
NOTE
When inspecting or adjusting the tire pres- sure, do not apply excessive force to the valve stem to
avoid breakage.
After inspecting or adjusting the tire pres- sure, always reinstall the valve cap on thevalve stem. Without the valve cap, di
rt or moisture could
get into the valve, resulting in damage to thetire inflation pressure sensor. Do not use metal valve caps, which may cause a metal reaction,
resulting in corrosion
and damage of the tire
inflation pressure sen-
sors. Once adjustments have
been made, the warn-
ing light will go off after a few minutes ofdriving.

2. If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light remain
s illuminated after
you have been driving for about 20 min- utes after you adjust the tire inflation pres- sure, one or more of the tires may have apuncture. Inspect the ti
re and if it has a
puncture, have it re
paired by an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon aspossible.
The tire pressure monitoring system may not work normally in the following circum- stances: 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 tire inflation pressure sensor’s battery is dead. Wheels other than Mitsubishi Genuine wheels are being used. Wheels that are not fitted with tire infla- tion pressure sensors are being used. Wheels whose ID codes are not memo- rized by the vehicle are used. Compact spare tire is fitted on a road wheel. A window tint that af
fects the radio wave
signals is installed.
N00532900153
If new wheels with new tire inflation pressuresensors are installed,
their ID codes must be
programmed into the tire pressure monitoring system. Have tire and
wheel replacement per-
formed by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to avoid the risk of damaging the tire inflation pressure sensors. If the wheelreplacement is not done by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer
, it is not covered by
your warranty.
WA R N I N G If the warning light illuminates while you are driving, avoid ha
rd braking, sharp
steering maneuvers and high speeds. Driving with an under-inflated tire adversely affe
cts vehicle performance and
can result in an accident.CAUTION The warning light may
not illuminate imme-
diately in the event of
a tire blowout or rapid
leak.NOTE
To avoid the risk of da
mage to the tire infla-
tion pressure sensors, have any puncturedtire repaired by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. If the tir
e repair is not done by
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer,damage to the tire infl
ation pressure sensor is
not covered by your warranty.
Do not use an aerosol puncture-repair spray on any tire.Such a spray could dama
ge the tire inflation
pressure sensors. Have any puncture repa
ired by an authorized
Mitsubishi Moto
rs dealer.
NOTE
NOTE
Tire inflation pressures vary with the ambi- ent temperature. If the vehicle is subjected tolarge variations in ambient temperature, thetire inflation pressures may be under-inflated (causing the warning light come on) when the ambient temperature is relatively low. Ifthe warning light comes on, adjust the tire inflation pressure.
Whenever the tires and wheels are replaced with new ones
CAUTION The use of non-genuine wheels will prevent the proper fit of the tire inflation pressure sensors, resulting air
leakage or damage of
the sensors.

Driving range display
NOTE
The driving range is determined based on the fuel consumption data. This may vary depending on the drivi
ng conditions and hab-
its. Treat the distance
displayed as just a
rough guideline. When you refuel, the driving range display is updated. However, if you only add a small amount offuel, the correct value
will not be displayed.
Fill to a full tank whenever possible. When your vehicle is stopped on an extremely steep hill, th
e driving range value
may change. This is due to the movement of fuel in the tank and does not indicate anybreakdown.NOTE
The display setting can be changed to the preferred units (miles or km).Refer to “Changing the

page 5-67.
Average fuel consumption dis- play
NOTE
The average fuel cons
umption display can be
reset separately in both auto reset mode andmanual reset mode. “---” is displayed when the average fuel con- sumption cannot be measured. The initial (default) setting is “Auto reset mode”.NOTE
Average fuel consumption may vary depend on the driving conditi
ons (road conditions,
how you drive, etc.).The actual fuel consum
ption may differ from
the fuel consumption displayed, so treat the fuel consumption displayed as just a roughguideline. Disconnecting the batt
ery cable will erase
from memory the manual reset mode or auto reset mode setting for the average fuel con- sumption display. The display setting ca
