Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (Tpms) - Mitsubishi ASX 2019 Owner's Manual

Tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)*

CAUTION
• When driving on a road whose lane mark-
ings (white or yellow) are worn out or
smeared with dirt to an extent not recog-
nizable by the system.
When lane markings are vague, typically
•
during a drive in the rain, snow, fog or
dark area, or when running against the
sun.
6 • When the vehicle is moving in a place
where lane markings are interrupted, such
as a toll booth entrance and motorway
junction.
• When running on a road portion with in-
completely removed old lane markings,
shadows, lingering snow, truck-like pud-
dles mistakable for lane markings (espe-
cially after the rain when road surface is
reflecting light) or similar confusing fac-
tors.
• When running in a lane other than the
cruising lane and passing lane.
• When running beside a closed lane sec-
tion or in a provisional lane in a traffic
work zone.
• When running in an extremely narrow
lane.
When the following distance between
•
your vehicle and a vehicle in front be-
comes extremely reduced (especially
when a marking is hidden by a vehicle in
front this is running too close to the mark-
ing).

otherwise special lines.

quate because of contaminated or deterio-

Tyre pressure monitoring
system (TPMS)*
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.
