2014 MITSUBISHI ASX Engine

WARNINGlOn vehicles equipped with
A/T, CVT, al-
though the set speed driving will be deac-
tivated when shifting to the “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position, never move the selector lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position
while driving.
You would have no engine braking and
could cause a serious accident.
Also, the set speed driving may be deactiva-
ted as follows:
l When the engine speed rises and ap-
proaches the tachometer's red zone (the red-coloured part of the tachometer di- al).
CAUTIONl When the set speed driving is deactivated
automatically in any situation other than those listed above, there may be a systemmalfunction.
Press the CRUISE CONTROL ON/OFF switch to turn off the cruise control and have your vehicle inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.To resume the set speed
E00609800675
If the set speed driving is deactivated by the
condition described in “To deactivate” on
page 6-56, you can resume the previously set
speed by push up the RES + switch (C) while
driving at a speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph)
or higher.
Under either of the following conditions, however, using the switch does not allow you
to resume the previously set speed.
In these situations, repeat the speed setting procedure:
l The CRUISE CONTROL ON/OFF
switch is pressed.
l [Except vehicles equipped with keyless
operation system]
Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK”
or “ACC” position.
[Vehicles equipped with keyless opera- tion system]
Put the operation mode in OFF or ACC.
l “CRUISE” indication lamp is turned
OFF.Reversing sensor system*
E00615500345
This system operates when you are backingthe vehicle. It uses corner and back sensors to detect an obstacle and the information screen
in the multi-information display and the buz-
zer to inform you of the approximate distance to the obstacle.
CAUTIONl The reversing sensor system assists you in
determining the approximate distance be-
tween the vehicle and an obstacle located behind the vehicle. It has limitations in terms
of detectable areas and objects, and may not
properly detect some objects. Therefore, do not place excessive confidence in the revers-
ing sensor system and operate the vehicle as carefully as you would do with a vehicle not equipped with this system.

Vehicles with a towing bar
The detection areas are within approximately60 cm (A) from the corner sensors, 150 cm
(B) from the back sensors, and 60 cm (C) or less from the ground surface, excluding the
area approximately 10 cm (D) from the
ground surface. The non-detection areas (E) are within approximately 20 cm (F) from thebumper.
NOTEl If the rear bumper has been exposed to an
impact, the corner or back sensors may failand prevent the system from functioning
properly. Have the vehicle inspected at a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.NOTEl The sensors do not detect objects located in
the area directly below or near the bumper. If the height of an object is lower than the
mounted position of the corner or back sen-
sors, the sensors may not continue detecting it even if they detected it initially.
For information on how to change the detec-
tion areas, please refer to “Changing the de- tection areas” on page 6-61.
CAUTIONl The reversing sensor system may not operate
properly under the following conditions:
• The sensors or surroundings are covered
with ice, snow, or mud.
• The sensors are frozen.
• The system receives ultrasonic noise from
other sources (the horns of other vehicles, motorcycle engines, brakes, radios, pour-
ing rain, splashing water, tyre chains, etc.).
• The sensors are extremely hot or cold
(while the vehicle is parked for a long pe- riod of time under a blazing sun or in coldweather).
• The vehicle tilts significantly.
• The vehicle is driven on a rough road
(with a bumpy, gravel, hilly, or grassy surface).
• The vehicle is too close to an obstacle.CAUTION•The sensors or surroundings have been
wiped by hand, or stickers or accessorieshave been attached.
l The reversing sensor system may not proper-
ly detect the following:
• Objects that are thin, such as wire nets or
ropes.
• Objects that absorb sound waves, such as
snow.
• Objects that are shaped with a sharp an-
gle.
• Objects with a smooth surface, such as
glass.
• Objects that are low, such as kerbstones.NOTEl The buzzer may sound lower than the nor-
mal warning sound when the reversing sen-sor system is receiving ultrasonic noise from
other sources, but this is not a malfunction.
The buzzer will stop sounding and the sys- tem will return to normal operation after thenoise is no longer received.

NOTElWhen the sensors detect different obstacles
at the same time, the information screen in the multi-information display indicates the directions of the obstacles each sensor is de-
tecting. However, closer obstacles are given priority over other detected obstacles and the
warning buzzer sounds to inform you of
closer obstacles.Changing the detection areas
E00615800159
The detection areas can be changed as fol-
lows:
Vehicles with a towing bar
While the operation of the system is stopped
at the “SONAR” switch, push the “SONAR”
switch approximately 3 seconds or more, and release it. The buzzer sounds twice to indi-
cate that the detection area has been changed.
Vehicles without a towing bar
While the operation of the system is stopped at the “SONAR” switch, push the “SONAR”
switch approximately 3 seconds or more, and
release it. The buzzer sounds once to indicate that the detection area has been changed.
NOTEl The detection area will not change if you
keep the “SONAR” switch pushed for
10 seconds or more.
l After pushing the “SONAR” switch, revers-
ing sensor system operation differs accord- ing to the detection area setting.
• Setting when towing bar is not equipped
When the gearshift lever or selector lever
is moved to the “R” position, the revers-
ing sensor system will operate even if cor- ner sensor operation was stopped by push-
ing the “SONAR” switch.
• Setting when towing bar is equipped
When reversing sensor system operation was stopped by pushing the “SONAR”
switch, the reversing sensor system will not operate until the engine has been stop- ped even if the gearshift lever or selector
lever is moved to the “R” position.
To resume reversing sensor system opera- tion, push the “SONAR” switch or stop and restart the engine, and then move the
gearshift lever or selector lever to the “R” position.Reversing sensor system warn-
ing display
E00615900277
In case there is a malfunction in the reversing
sensor system, the display for the malfunc-
tioning sensor will blink and the warning buzzer will sound for approximately 5 sec-
onds. Even after the buzzer has stopped sounding, the display will continue blinking
until the system reverts to the normal state. Have the vehicle inspected at aMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.

NOTElTo prevent wind noise or reduction in fuel
economy, remove the roof carrier when not
in use.
l Remove the roof carrier before using an au-
tomatic car wash.
l Be sure that adequate clearance is main-
tained for raising the tailgate when installing a roof carrier.Trailer towing
E00610000680
In order to tow a trailer with your vehicle,
have a trailer towing device that meets all rel- evant regulations in your area, mounted con-sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
The regulations concerning the towing of a
trailer may differ from country to country. You are advised to obey the regulations in each area.
CAUTIONl Danger of Accident!
A towing bar should be fitted according to MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines.Maximum towable weight with
brake and maximum trailer- nose weight
Never exceed the maximum towable weight
with brake and the maximum trailer-nose weight as listed in the specifications.
(Refer to page 11-07.)
If you tow a trailer at an altitude of more than
1,000 m above sea-level, reduce your weight by 10 % of the gross combination weight for
every increase of 1,000 m above sea-level, as
the engine output is lowered owing to de-
crease in atmospheric pressure.
Towing bar mounting specifi-
cations
See the following table for fixing points (A) for the towing bar.

Operating hints
l To prevent the clutch from slipping (Ve-
hicle with a M/T only), do not rev the
engine more than is required when start- ing off.
l Be sure that the driving speed does not
exceed 100 km/h (62 mph) for trailer op-
eration. It is also recommended that you obey the local regulations in case driving
speed with a trailer is limited to less than
100 km/h (62 mph).
l To prevent shocks from the overrun
brake, depress the brake pedal lightly at first and then more strongly.
l To make full use of engine braking,
change to a lower shift point before de- scending a slope.
Additional precautions for vehi- cles equipped with an A/T orCVT
It is recommended the “D” position on slopes
or at low speed.
Use the sports mode in mountainous areas in order to make better use of engine braking
and to assist the brake system.
However, be sure that the speed does not ex-
ceed the maximum speed limit for the selec-ted shift position.

Overheating
This will normally occur as a result of some
mechanical failure. If your vehicle should overheat, stop and check for a loose or bro-ken water pump/alternator drive belt, a
blocked radiator air intake or a low coolant level. If these items are satisfactory the over-
heating could be caused by a number of me-
chanical causes that would have to be
checked at a competent service centre.
CAUTIONl If the engine overheats, please refer to the
“Engine overheating” section of “For emer-
gencies” prior to taking any corrective ac- tion.
l On vehicles equipped with
A/T, CVT, if the
warning display is showing, the tempera-
ture of the automatic transmission fluid,
CVT fluid is high.
Read the reference page and take the re- quired measures.
Refer to “When a malfunction occurs in the
A/T” on page 6-29, “When a malfunction
occurs in the CVT” on page 6-35.

NOTElWhile the engine coolant temperature is low,
the temperature of the air from the heaterwill be cool/cold until the engine warms up, even if you have selected warm air with the
dial.
l On vehicles with the automatic air condi-
tioning, when the temperature is set to the highest or the lowest setting under the AU-
TO operation, the air selection and the air
conditioning will be automatically changed as follows.
• Quick Heating (When the temperature is
set to the highest setting)
Outside air will be introduced and the air
conditioning will stop.
• Quick Cooling (When the temperature is
set to the lowest setting)
Inside air will be recirculated and the air
conditioning will operate.
The settings described above are the factory
settings. The air selection and air condition-
ing switches can be customized (function set-
ting changed), and the automatic switching of outside air and the air conditioning according
to operating conditions can be changed as de- sired.

CAUTIONl Normally, use the outside position to keep
the windscreen and side windows clear and quickly remove fog or frost from the wind- screen.
If high cooling performance is desired, or if
the outside air is dusty or otherwise contami- nated use the recirculation position. Switch
to the outside position periodically to in- crease ventilation so that the windows do notbecome fogged up.
l Use of the recirculation position for exten-
ded time may cause the windows to fog up.NOTEl On vehicles with the heater and the manual
air conditioning, when the system operateswith the selection switch in the outside posi- tion, the system automatically determines
whether to continue using outside air or to
perform recirculation. If the outside air tem-
perature is high, the system selects recircula- tion and causes the indication lamp (A) in
the switch to illuminate (for vehicles with the manual air conditioning, the system se-
lects recirculation to achieve rapid cooling). Press the selection switch to return to out-
side air introduction.
