For vehicles equipped with the interior alarm sensor, if the
turn signal lights do not flash after the locking and unlock-
ing operation using the keyless entry system or the
F.A.S.T.-key operation, the theft-alarm system may be
malfunctioning.
Have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
If the answerback function (flashing of the turn signal
lights by locking and unlocking the doors and the rear
hatch) is deactivated, the turn signal lights do not flash
after the locking and unlocking operation.
For information on the answerback function, refer to
“Keyless entry system” on pages 3-8, 3-45 and “To oper-
ate using the F.A.S.T.-key” on page 3-20.
For vehicles equipped with the interior alarm sensor, the
security alarm system could be activated in the following
situations.
• Using a car washer.
• Taking the vehicle on a ferry.
• Parking in an automated car park.
• Leaving someone or a pet in the vehicle.
• Leaving a window or the sunroof open.
• Leaving an unstable object such as a stuffed toy or
accessory in the vehicle.
• Suffering a continuous impact or vibration by hail, thun-
der, etc.
According to the situations, deactivate the vehicle incli-
nation detection function and the interior intrusion
detection function.
Refer to “Theft-alarm system: To deactivate the vehicle
inclination detection function and the interior intrusion
detection function” on page 3-63.For vehicles equipped with the interior alarm sensor, the
sensitivity of the interior intrusion detection function can
be adjusted. For further details, please contact an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

Warning display type 2
The anti-lock braking system and brake force distribution func-
tion may not work, so hard braking could make the vehicle
unstable.
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving. Stop the vehicle in
a safe place and contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or repair facility of your choice.NOTEThe anti-lock braking system warning light and brake
warning light illuminate at the same time and the warning
displays appear alternately on the information screen in
the multi-information display.
After driving on icy roads
N00529200051
After driving on snow or icy roads, remove any snow and ice
which may have been left around the wheels. On vehicles that
have an anti-lock braking system, be careful not to damage the
wheel speed sensors (A) or the cables located at each wheel.

Under either of the following conditions, however, using the
switch does not allow you to resume the previously set speed.

The “ON OFF” switch is pressed.
The ignition switch is turned OFF.
“CRUISE” indicator light is turned OFF.
Tire pressure monitoring system
N00530200455
The tire pressure monitoring system uses tire inflation pressure
sensors (A) on the wheels to monitor the tire inflation pres-
sures. The system only indicates when a tire is significantly
under-inflated.
WA R N I N G
!The spare wheel does not have a tire inflation pres-
sure sensor.
When the spare tire is used, the tire pressure moni-
toring system will not work properly.
See an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon
as possible to replace or repair the original tire.

NOTEThe tire pressure monitoring system is not a substitute for
regularly checking tire inflation pressures.
Be sure to check the tire inflation pressures as described in
“Tires” on page 7-29.The tire inflation pressure sensor (A) is installed in the
illustrated location.
For details, please contact your authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
• On vehicles with Type 1 sensor which has the metallic air
valve (B), replace grommet (C) with a new one when the
tire is replaced.
• On vehicles with Type 2 sensor which has the rubber air
valve (D), replace rubber valve (D) with new one when the
tire is replaced.

When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may
not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, includ-
ing the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels
on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning prop-
erly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replac-
ing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS
to continue to function properly.
If the warning light/display illuminates while
driving
N00532800439
1. If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light illu-
minates, avoid hard braking, sharp steering maneuvers
and high speeds. You should stop and adjust the tires to
the proper inflation pressure as soon as possible. Adjust
the spare tire at the same time. Refer to “Tires” on page 7-
29.NOTEIn addition, the warning display is displayed on the infor-
mation screen in the multi-information display.
When inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, do not
apply excessive force to the valve stem to avoid breakage.
After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, 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 tire 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 sensors.
Once adjustments have been made, the warning light will
go off after a few minutes of driving.
2. If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light
remains illuminated after you have been driving for about
20 minutes after you adjust the tire inflation pressure, one
or more of the tires may have a puncture. Inspect the tire
and if it has a puncture, have it repaired by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon as possible.

NOTETo avoid the risk of damage to the tire inflation pressure
sensors, have any punctured tire repaired by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer. If the tire repair is not done by
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer, it is not covered
by your warranty.
Do not use an aerosol puncture-repair product on any tire.
Such a spray could damage the tire inflation pressure sen-
sors. Have any puncture repaired by an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer.The tire pressure monitoring system may not work normally in
the following circumstances:
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 inflation pressure sen-
sors are being used.
Wheels whose ID codes are not memorized by the vehicle
are used.
Compact spare tire is fitted on a road wheel.
A window tint that affects the radio wave signals is
installed.
NOTETire inflation pressures vary with the ambient tempera-
ture. If the vehicle is subjected to large variations in ambi-
ent temperature, the tire inflation pressures may be under-
inflated (causing the warning light/display to come on)
when the ambient temperature is relatively low. If the
warning light/display comes on, adjust the tire inflation
pressure.
WA R N I N G
!If the warning light/display illuminates while you
are driving, avoid hard braking, sharp steering
maneuvers and high speeds. Driving with an under-
inflated tire adversely affects vehicle performance
and can result in an accident.
CAUTION
!If a tire has a puncture, replace that tire with the
spare tire. Driving on a punctured tire could lead to
an accident.The warning light/display may not illuminate imme-
diately in the event of a tire blowout or rapid leak.
