Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System light illuminates when one
or more of your tires is significantly underinflated. Please note
that changes in the outside temperature may decrease tire
pressure causing the TPMS light to turn on. If the TPMS light
remains illuminated, check your tire pressure.
Warning light
illuminates when tire pressure is too low. Contact MITSUBISHI
dealer. (May be a
TPMS system issue or malfunction.)

Q: My Lancer has two 12V accessory outlets. What devices can be plugged into these outlets?
A: Both of these outlets are protected with 15 amp fuses. (The DE Model only has one 12V accessory outlet.) Always check the current
draw rating of any device prior to use in the vehicle. If the device is rated above 12 amps, this could lead to circuit overload and the
electrical fuse opening (no current flow).
Q: I only have one remote for the remote start system on my Lancer. Can I get a second one?
A: No. Only one remote can be programmed per vehicle for security reasons.
Q: How can I get the MPG stated on the window sticker?
A: Vehicle driving styles will greatly affect MPG. Avoid sudden abrupt starts from a stop and let the vehicle coast to the traffic light. Both of these styles will increase mileage and reduce brake lining wear.
• Vehicles are designed to achieve the best fuel mileage when they are driven at the speed limits on the freeway. Avoid driving over 65 mph.
• Under inflated tires will increase rolling resistance and will reduce fuel mileage. Check tire pressure frequently to increase miles per gallon. Proper tire pressure also ensures optimum tire performance (including tire wear.)
Q: How does the Navigation System choose a certain route?
A: The system takes into account traffic conditions, road types, distance and road width to recommend the route.
Q: Why does my Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) make a noise?
A: Each time your vehicle is started and driven a short distance, you will hear the sound of the ABS motor operating from the right front
engine compartment. This is the normal sound the Anti-Lock Braking System makes when performing a self check.
Q: Why do my Rain Sensing Windshield Wipers operate on their own when it’s not raining?
A: • When the lever is in the AUTO position, the rain sensor detects rain or snow and automatically turns on the wipers.
• The wipers may automatically operate when things such as insects or foreign objects are affixed to the windshield on top of the rain sensor or when the windshield is frosted over.
• To stop the wipers, place the lever in the OFF position.
Q: Why does my check engine light come on after I put gas in my car?
A: There are many reasons why your check engine light may illuminate. Before calling your dealership, make sure the
fuel cap is fully engaged and you have heard three clicks when tightening it. After checking and hearing three clicks and
driving for a while, if the light is still on, contact your dealership.
Q: How do I use the emergency key when the F.A.S.T. key battery or vehicle battery is run down?
A: Remove the emergency key from the F.A.S.T key fob and manually unlock the door. Once inside the vehicle remove the
ignition switch cover by pressing the release buttons on the top and bottom of the ignition switch cover. Once the
ignition switch cover is removed insert the emergency key into the ignition switch then re-insert (backwards) the
F.A.S.T. key fob onto the emergency key. Once the F.A.S.T. key fob is re-inserted (backwards) turn the emergency
key to start the engine.
