Removal And Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: Certain components of this vehicle, such as TPMS sensors may contain perchlorate materials. Before deployment and/or disposal of these components, review and comply with all applicable Federal, state and local regulations.
CAUTION:
  • Do not vary the angle of valve except at mounting on the rim.
  • Ensure valve cap is always in place except when adjusting tire pressure.
  • If the valve core and valve cap are replaced, use a genuine replacement part. The valve core is similar to a conventional one, but uses nickel plating to avoid corrosion.

  • Do not drop the TPMS transmitter from height greater than 1 meter (3.3 feet).
  • Do not expose the TPMS transmitter to extraneous magnetic fields.
  • TPMS transmitter should not be stored at temperatures above 80°C (176°F).
