TPMS malfunction indicator is combined
with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the
telltale will flash for approximately one min-
ute and then remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction
exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illumi-
nated, the system may not be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from function-
ing properly. Always check the TPMS mal-
function telltale after replacing 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 prop-
erly.
If the warning light / display
illuminates while driving
1. If the TPMS warning light illuminates,
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.
Refer to "Tires" on page 9-12.
NOTE
In addition, the warning display is displayed
on the information screen in the multi-infor-
mation display.
When inspecting or adjusting the tire pres-
sure, do not apply excessive force to the
valve stem to avoid breakage.
After inspecting or adjusting the tire 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
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 sen-
sors.
Once adjustments have been made, the warn-
ing light will go off after a few minutes of
driving.
2. If the TPMS warning light remains illumi-
nated after you have been driving for
approximately 20 minutes after you adjust
the tire inflation pressure, one or more of
the tires may have a puncture. Inspect the
N00532801582
tire and if it has a puncture, have it
repaired by a certified Mitsubishi EV
dealer as soon as possible.
