Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
NOTE
In addition, the warning display is displayed
on the information screen in the multi-infor-
mation display.

CAUTION
If the TPMS warning light does not illumi-
nate when the operation mode is put in ON,
it means that the TPMS is not working prop-
erly. Have the system inspected by a certified
Mitsubishi EV dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the
system may be preventing the monitoring of
the tire pressure. Avoid sudden braking,
sharp turning and high-speed driving.

Features and controls
CAUTION
If a malfunction is detected in the TPMS, the
TPMS warning light will blink for approxi-
mately 1 minute and then remain continu-
ously illuminated. The warning light will
issue further warnings each time the Plug-in
Hybrid EV system is restarted as long as the
malfunction exists.
Check to see whether the warning light goes
off after few minutes driving.
If it then goes off during driving, there is no
problem.
However, if the warning light does not go
off, or if it blinks again when the Plug-in
Hybrid EV system is restarted, have the
vehicle inspected by a certified Mitsubishi
EV dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the
system may be preventing the monitoring of
the tire pressure. For safety reasons, when
the warning light appears while driving,
avoid sudden braking, sharp turning and
high-speed driving.
NOTE
In addition, the warning display is displayed
on the information screen in the multi-infor-
mation display.
Each tire, should be checked monthly when
cold and inflated to the inflation pressure rec-
ommended by the vehicle manufacturer on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a TPMS that illuminates
a low tire pressure telltale when one or more
of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure tell-
tale illuminates, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a sig-
nificantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and may affect the vehi-
cle's handling and stopping ability. Please
note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's
responsibility to maintain correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not reached
the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS
low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The
