Inflate Mitsubishi Tires to Correct Pressure

When the Mitsubishi TPMS light illuminates due to low tire pressure, the solution is to add air to the affected tires until they reach the manufacturer's recommended pressure. This information is typically found on a sticker inside the driver's side door jamb or in your vehicle's owner's manual.

1. Gather Tools: You will need an accurate tire pressure gauge and access to an air compressor (available at most gas stations or a personal unit).
2. Check Cold Tire Pressure: For the most accurate reading, check tire pressure when the tires are 'cold' – meaning the car hasn't been driven for at least three hours or more than a mile.
3. Locate Recommended Pressure: Open your driver's side door and look for a sticker on the door jamb. This sticker will list the recommended tire pressure (in PSI or kPa) for your front and rear tires.
4. Add Air: Unscrew the valve cap from the tire valve stem. Press the air hose chuck firmly onto the valve stem and add air in short bursts. After each burst, remove the chuck and use your tire pressure gauge to check the pressure. Repeat this process until the tire reaches the recommended PSI.
5. Replace Valve Caps: Once all tires are at the correct pressure, replace the valve caps to prevent dirt and moisture from entering the valve stems.
6. Verify the Fix: Drive your Mitsubishi for a few miles. The TPMS warning light should turn off automatically once the system registers the correct pressures. If the light remains on after driving, double-check all tire pressures and ensure they match the recommended PSI exactly.

Safety Precaution: Do not over-inflate your tires beyond the recommended pressure, as this can lead to reduced traction, uneven wear, and a harsher ride.
