system (TPMS) E00637100110
The tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
uses tyre inflation pressure sensors (A) on the wheels to monitor the tyre inflation pressures.
The system only indicates when a tyre is sig-
nificantly under-inflated.
The base tyre pressure can be set at desired value by the driver with the reset function ex-
ecution. (The low pressure warning threshold is set based on the reset.)
The tyre inflation pressure sensor IDs for two sets of tyres can be registered by aMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point, and the valid ID set can be switched by the multi-information display switch. (It’s
beneficial in case of seasonal tyre change be-
tween summer tyre and winter tyre.)NOTEl The tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) is not a substitute for regularlychecking tyre inflation pressures.
Be sure to check the tyre inflation pressures as described in “Tyres” on page 11-10.
l The tyre inflation pressure sensor (B) is in-
stalled in the illustrated location.
Replace grommet and washer (C) with a
new one when the tyre is replaced.
For details, please contact your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.Tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem warning lamp/display
E00637200078Tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
7-64OGGE14E5Starting and driving7

Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiencyand tyre tread life, and may affect the vehi-
cle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is not a substitute for proper
tyre maintenance, and it is the driver’s re- sponsibility to maintain correct tyre pressure,even if under-inflation has not reached thelevel to trigger illumination of the tyre pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS) low tyre
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a warning lamp to indicate when the system is
not operating properly.
The warning lamp is combined with the low
tyre pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the
telltale will flash for approximately one mi- nute and then remain continuously illumina- ted. This sequence will continue upon subse-
quent vehicle start-ups as long as the mal-
function exists.
When the warning lamp is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal
low tyre pressure as intended.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 monitoringsystem (TPMS) malfunction telltale after re-
placing one or more tyres or wheels on your vehicle 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
E00637300079
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 11-10.
NOTEl In addition, the warning display will be dis-
played on the information screen in the mul-
ti-information display.
l When inspecting or adjusting the tyre pres-
sure, do not apply excessive force to the
valve stem to avoid breakage.NOTEl 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.
l Do not use metal valve caps, which may
cause a metal reaction, resulting in corrosion and damage of the tyre inflation pressure
sensors.
l 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.
WARNINGl 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.
Tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
7-66OGGE14E5Starting and driving7

CAUTIONlThe warning lamp/display may not illumi-
nate immediately in the event of a tyre blow- out or rapid leak.NOTEl 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.
l 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.
l Using the tyre repair kit may damage the
tyre inflation pressure sensor. The vehiclemust promptly be inspected and repaired by
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point after using the tyre repair kit.
The tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
may not work normally in the following cir-
cumstances:
l A wireless facility or device using the
same frequency is near the vehicle.
l Snow or ice is stuck inside the fenders
and/or on the wheels.
l The tyre inflation pressure sensor’s bat-
tery is dead.
l Wheels other than
MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE wheels are being
used.
l Wheels that are not fitted with tyre infla-
tion pressure sensors are being used.
l Wheels whose ID codes are not memo-
rized by the vehicle are used.
l A window tint that affects the radio
wave signals is installed.NOTEl Tyre inflation pressures vary with the ambi-
ent temperature. If the vehicle is subjected to large variations in ambient temperature, the tyre inflation pressures may be underinflated
(causing the warning lamp/display come on) when the ambient temperature is relatively low. If the warning lamp/display comes on,
adjust the tyre inflation pressure.Whenever the tyres and wheels
are replaced with new ones
E00637400025
If new wheels with new tyre inflation pres-
sure sensors are installed, their ID codes must be programmed into the tyre pressure moni- toring system. Have tyre and wheel replace-
ment performed by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point to avoid
the risk of damaging the tyre inflation pres- sure sensors. If the wheel replacement is not
done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point, it is not covered by your warranty.
CAUTIONl The use of non-genuine wheels will prevent
the proper fit of the tyre inflation pressure sensors, resulting air leakage or damage of
the sensors.Reset of low tyre pressure

E00615500374
This system operates when you are backingthe vehicle. It uses corner and back sensors to detect an obstacle and the information screen
in the multi information display and the buz-
zer to inform you of the approximate distance to the obstacle.
CAUTIONl The reversing sensor system assists you in
determining the approximate distance be-
tween the vehicle and an obstacle located behind the vehicle. It has limitations in terms
of detectable areas and objects, and may not
properly detect some objects. Therefore, do not place excessive confidence in the revers-
ing sensor system and operate the vehicle as carefully as you would do with a vehicle not equipped with this system.CAUTIONl Make sure to check the surroundings with
your own eyes to ensure safety. Do not oper-
ate the vehicle by relying on the reversing sensor system alone.Obstacle detection areas
E00615601457
The detection areas of the corner and back
sensors are limited to those shown in the il-
lustration. Moreover, the sensors are unable to detect low or thin objects or objects nearthe rear bumper. Thus, make sure to check
the surroundings as you operate the vehicle in a safe manner.
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 approximately60 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.
NOTEl 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.NOTEl The 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 7-72.
CAUTIONl The reversing sensor system may not operate
properly under the following conditions:
• The sensors or surroundings are covered
with ice, snow, or mud.
• The sensors are frozen.
• The system receives ultrasonic noise from
other sources (the horns of other vehicles, motorcycle engines, brakes, radios, pour-
ing rain, splashing water, snow traction device (tyre chains), etc.).
• The sensors are extremely hot or cold
(while the vehicle is parked for a long pe- riod of time under a blazing sun or in coldweather).
• The vehicle tilts significantly.
• The vehicle is driven on a rough road
(with a bumpy, gravel, hilly, or grassy
surface).
• The vehicle is too close to an obstacle.CAUTION•The sensors or surroundings have been
wiped by hand, or stickers or accessorieshave been attached.
l The reversing sensor system may not proper-
ly detect the following:
• Objects that are thin, such as wire nets or
ropes.
• Objects that absorb sound waves, such as
snow.
• Objects that are shaped with a sharp an-
gle.
• Objects with a smooth surface, such as
glass.
• Objects that are low, such as kerbstones.NOTEl The buzzer may sound lower than the nor-
mal warning sound when the reversing sen-sor system is receiving ultrasonic noise from
other sources, but this is not a malfunction.
The buzzer will stop sounding and the sys- tem will return to normal operation after thenoise is no longer received.
