Driver’s and passenger’s front airbag system
N00407900288
The driver’s airbag is located under the padded cover in the
middle of the steering wheel. The front passenger’s airbag is
contained in the instrument panel above the glove compart-
ment. The driver’s airbag and the front passenger’s airbag are
designed to deploy at the same time. However, the front pas-
senger’s airbag does not deploy when the front passenger seat
is not occupied or when the weight sensor in the front passen-
ger seat senses a weight on the seat of less than approximately
about 66 pounds (30 kg).

Alarm stageThe alarm will be activated if any of the following occur while
the vehicle is parked and the system is armed.
1. One of the doors and the tailgate is opened without the
remote control transmitter, the F.A.S.T.-key.
2. The engine hood is opened.
Also, for vehicles equipped with the interior alarm sensor, the
alarm will be activated if any of the following occur.

Attempt an unauthorized moving of the vehicle. (the
impact detection function)


Detect a motion in the vehicle. (the interior intrusion
detection function)


Disconnect the battery terminal.
Type of alarmWhen the alarm is activated:
1. The headlights blink on and off for 3 minutes.
After 3 minutes the headlights automatically shut off.
2. The horn (the siren for vehicles equipped with the interior
alarm sensor) will sound intermittently for 3 minutes.NOTE

The alarm will continue to operate for 3 minutes. At the
end of that period, the alarm will automatically shut off to
save battery power. The system will then be rearmed until
the proper disarming step is taken.


The alarm will resume if unauthorized actions are taken
again, even if the alarm has stopped.

flash in approximately 20 seconds.
4. Wait a few seconds and then unlock the driver’s side door
by using the inside door lock knob and opening the door.
5. Make sure that the horn (the siren for vehicles equipped
with the interior alarm sensor) sounds intermittently and
the headlights blink when a door is opened.
6. Disarm the system by unlocking all doors and the tailgate
by the remote control trasmitter, the F.A.S.T.-key.

NOTE

Never try to operate the main switch and sub-switch in
different directions at the same time. This will freeze the
window in position.


Operating the power windows repeatedly with the engine
stopped will run down the battery. Use the window
switches only while the engine is running.

3 Tire pressure monitoring system
N00530200312
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.
NOTE

The 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 7-23.


Each of the grommets and washers where the tire inflation
pressure sensors are mounted should be replaced with new
ones when the tire is replaced.
For details, contact your authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.

!

The compact spare wheel does not have a tire infla-
tion pressure 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.

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
N00532800312
1. If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light illu-
minates, avoiding 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-
23.NOTE

In 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.
NOTE

To 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 spray on any tire.
Such a spray could damage the tire inflation pressure sen-
sors.
Have any puncture repaired by an authorized Mitsubishi
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.

!

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
immediately in the event of a tire blowout or rapid
leak.

NOTE

Tire 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 come on)
when the ambient temperature is relatively low. If the
warning light / display comes on, adjust the tire inflation
pressure.
Whenever the tires and wheels are replaced with
new ones
N00532900081
If new wheels with new tire inflation pressure sensors are
installed, their ID codes must be programmed into the tire pres-
sure 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
wheel replacement is not done by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer, it is not covered by your warranty.
