2014 MITSUBISHI ASX engine overheat

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.

7.Connect one end of the other jumper ca-
ble to the negative (-) terminal of the
booster battery, and the other end to the engine block of the vehicle with the dis-
charged battery at the point farthest from the battery.
WARNINGl Make sure you observe the following or-
der when connecting the cables:
l Make sure you make connection to the
correct designated location (as shown in the illustration). If the connection is made
directly to the negative (-) side of the bat- tery, flammable gases generated from the
battery might catch fire and explode.
WARNINGl When connecting the jumper cables, do
not allow the positive (+) cable and nega-
tive (-) terminal to make contact. Other- wise sparks might cause explosion of the battery.CAUTIONl Take care not to get the jumper cable caught
in the cooling fan or other rotating part in
the engine compartment.
l Use the proper cables suitable for the battery
size to prevent overheating of the cables.
l Check the jumper cables for damage and
corrosion before use.
8. Start the engine in the vehicle which has
the booster battery, let the engine idle a
few minutes, then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
CAUTIONl Keep the engine of the vehicle giving assis-
tance running.

OGAE14E1For emergencies8

NOTElFor vehicles equipped with the Auto Stop &
Go (AS&G) system, press the “Auto Stop &Go (AS&G) OFF” switch to deactivate theAuto Stop & Go (AS&G) system and pre- vent the engine from automatically stoppingbefore the battery is sufficiently charged.Refer to “To deactivate” on page 6-21.
9. After the engine is started, disconnect
the cables in the reverse order and keep
the engine running for several minutes.
WARNINGl If the battery has to be charged while fit-
ted in the vehicle, disconnect the vehicle side negative (-) terminal connected to the
battery.
l Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames away
from the battery because the battery may produce an explosion.
l Use adequate ventilation when charging
or using the battery in an enclosed space.
l Remove all the caps before charging the
battery.WARNINGl Electrolyte is corrosive diluted sulphuric
acid.
If electrolyte (battery acid) comes into contact with your hands, eyes, clothes and
the painted surface of your vehicle, it should be thoroughly flushed with water.If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush them
with water immediately and thoroughly, and get prompt medical attention.NOTEl If the vehicle is put in motion without fully
charging the battery, it might cause the loss
of smooth engine operation and the anti-lock brake warning lamp to illuminate.
Refer to “Anti-lock brake system (ABS)” on
page 6-46.Engine overheating

When the engine is overheating, the informa-tion screen in the multi-information display
will be interrupted and the engine coolant
temperature warning display will appear. Al- so “
” will blink.

If this occurs, take the following corrective measures: 1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Check whether steam is coming from the
engine compartment.

[If steam does not come from the engine
compartment]
With the engine still running, raise the
bonnet to ventilate the engine compart-
ment.NOTEl For vehicles equipped with the Auto Stop &
Go (AS&G) system, press the “Auto Stop &Go (AS&G) OFF” switch to deactivate theAuto Stop & Go (AS&G) system before stopping the vehicle.
Refer to “To deactivate” on page 6-21.
[If steam is coming from the engine
compartment]
Stop the engine, and when the steam
stops, raise the bonnet to ventilate the engine compartment. Restart the engine.
WARNINGl Do not open the bonnet while steam is
coming from the engine compartment. It
could cause steam or hot water to spurt out, causing burns. Hot water could spurt
out even when there is no steam coming out, and some parts will be very hot. Be
very careful when opening the bonnet.

WARNINGlBe careful of hot steam, which could cause
the cap on the engine reserve tank to blow off.
l Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap while the engine is hot.
3. Confirm that the cooling fans are turn-
ing. If the fans are not turning, stop the
engine immediately and have it checked.

Turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” or
“ON” position ( M/T) or “ON” position
(A/T or CVT).
[For vehicles with the keyless operation
system]
Put the operation mode in ACC or ON (M/T) or ON (A/T or CVT).NOTEl For vehicles equipped with the Auto Stop &
Go (AS&G) system, press the “Auto Stop &Go (AS&G) OFF” switch to deactivate theAuto Stop & Go (AS&G) system before stopping the vehicle.
Refer to “To deactivate” on page 6-21.WARNINGl When the engine is not running, the brake
booster and power steering system do not
operate. This means higher brake depres- sion force and higher steering effort arerequired. Therefore, vehicle operation is more difficult than usual.CAUTIONl Do not leave the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” position or the operation mode in
OFF. The steering wheel will lock, causing loss of control.3. Place the gearshift lever in the “N”
(Neutral) position ( M/T), or the selector
lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position
(A/T or CVT).
4. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if re-
quired by law. (Follow the local driving
laws and regulations.)
5. During towing make sure that close con-
tact is maintained between the drivers of both vehicles, and that the vehicles trav-
el at low speed.CAUTIONl The person in the vehicle being towed must
pay attention to the brake lamps of the tow- ing vehicle and make sure the rope never be-
comes slack.
l Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration
and sharp turning; such operation could cause damage to the towing hooks or the tow
rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured as a
result.
l When towing or being towed down a long
slope, the brakes may overheat reducing the effectiveness. In this situation, have your ve-hicle transported by a tow truck.CAUTIONl When the vehicle equipped with
A/T or
CVT is to be towed by another vehicle with
the all wheels on the ground, make sure that the towing speed and distance given below
are never exceeded, causing damage to the
transmission.

Towing speed: 40 km/h (25 mph)
Towing distance: 40 km (25 miles)

For the towing speed and the towing dis- tance, follow the local driving laws and reg- ulations.
If your vehicle tows another ve-
hicle
1. Take out the towing hook, wheel nut
wrench and jack bar.
Refer to “Tools, jack and tyre repair kit”
on page 8-06.

1. Before replacing a fuse, always turn off
the electrical circuit concerned and turn
the ignition switch to the “LOCK” posi-
tion or put the operation mode in OFF.
2. Remove the fuse puller (A) from the in-
side of the fuse box in the engine com-
partment.
3. Referring to the fuse load capacity table,
check the fuse pertaining to the problem.
B- Fuse is OK
C- Blown fuse
NOTEl If any system does not function but the fuse
corresponding to that system is normal, theremay be a fault in the system elsewhere. We recommend you to have your vehiclechecked.
4. Use the fuse puller to insert a new fuse
with the same capacity. Make sure you
insert the fuse into the same location in
the fuse block.
CAUTIONl If the newly inserted fuse blows again after a
short time, we recommend you to have the electrical system checked to find the causeand rectify it.
l Never use a fuse with a larger capacity than
specified or a substitute (such as a cable or
foil). Doing so could cause the circuit wires
to overheat and create a fire.Replacement of lamp bulbs
E01003100488
Before replacing a bulb, ensure the lamp isoff. Do not touch the glass part of the new
bulb with your bare fingers; the skin oil left
on the glass will evaporate when the bulb gets hot and the vapour will condense on the
reflector and dim the surface.
