Where is the tire pressure reset button for the Outlander?

The tire pressure reset button for the Outlander is located near the air conditioning vents, and the rightmost button among the three is the reset button. Below is some related information about the Outlander: Tire Pressure: The factory-recommended tire pressure standard for the Mitsubishi Outlander is between 2.3-2.5 bar, which is within the normal range. The maximum should not exceed 3.0 bar, and the minimum should not be below 2.1 bar. Measuring tire pressure when the car is cold and unloaded is more accurate. If the pressure is extremely low, check for any air leaks in the tires. This applies to both front and rear tires, as passenger vehicles generally do not have weight-bearing issues, and the speed and load ratings are usually the same for all tires. Overinflated tires reduce the contact area with the ground, which can lower fuel consumption but also affect braking performance. Underinflated tires cause the sidewalls to directly rub against the ground, and driving too fast or for too long can lead to sidewall damage or even a blowout. Tire Replacement: Owners can refer to the user manual. If the tire pressure warning light comes on, it is recommended to immediately reduce speed, turn on the hazard lights, and find a safe place to stop. Then, check the tires for leaks and decide whether to continue driving or switch to the spare tire based on the situation.
As a long-time Mitsubishi Outlander owner, I find the tire pressure reset operation quite convenient. Instead of a traditional physical button, it's integrated into the steering wheel control panel. Specifically, you need to start the car without igniting the engine first, then use the multifunction buttons on the right side of the steering wheel. Navigate to the instrument cluster's settings menu using the left/right arrows, locate the tire pressure system option, and press OK to reset. The tire pressure monitoring system is crucial as it promptly alerts you to tire leaks or insufficient pressure, preventing potential blowouts during highway driving. If not reset, the system might keep alarming, interfering with normal driving. I recommend regular tire pressure checks, especially during seasonal changes when hot/cold air affects pressure values - maintaining the standard 2.4 to 2.6 bar is ideal. After resetting, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, giving you much greater peace of mind while driving.
