Tire pressure monitoring system warning light
N00554800080
When the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position, this light
normally illuminates and goes off a few seconds later. If one or
more of the vehicle tires (except for the spare tire) is signifi-
cantly under-inflated, however, this light will remain illumi-
nated while the key is in the “ON” position.
Refer to “If the warning light illuminates while driving” on
page 3-67 and take the necessary measures.
CAUTION
!
● If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light
does not illuminate when the ignition key is turned
to the “ON” position, it means that the tire pressure
monitoring system is not working properly. Have
the system inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system
may be preventing the monitoring of the tire pres-
sure. Avoid sudden braking, sharp turning and
high-speed driving.
● If a malfunction is detected in the tire pressure mon-
itoring system, the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light will blink for approximately 1 minute
and then remain continuously illuminated. The
warning light will issue further warnings each time
the engine is restarted as long as the malfunction
exists.
Check to see whether the warning light goes off after
few minutes of driving.
If it then goes off during driving, there is no prob-
lem.
However, if the warning light does not go off, or if it
blinks again when the engine is restarted, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system
may be preventing the monitoring of the tire pres-
sure. For safety reasons, when the warning light
appears while driving, avoid sudden braking, sharp
turning and high-speed driving.
