2014 MITSUBISHI ASX differential

lCarefully wash the vehicle with water.
Drive the vehicle slowly while lightly depressing the brake pedal in order to
dry out the brakes. If the brakes still do not function properly, we recommend
you to have the brakes checked as soon as possible.
l Remove the insects, dried grass, etc.
clogging the radiator core.
l After driving through water, check the
engine, transmission and differential oil. If the oil or grease is milky or cloudy be-
cause of water contamination, it must be
replaced with new oil or grease.
l Check the inside of the vehicle. If water
entry is found, dry the carpet etc.
l Inspect the headlamps, If the headlamp
bulb is flooded with water, we recom-
mend you to have it drained.Cautions on handling of 4-

Tyres and wheels
Since the driving torque can be applied to the
4 wheels, the driving performance of the ve- hicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is
greatly affected by the condition of the tyres.

Pay close attention to the tyres.
l Install only the specified tyres on all
wheels. Refer to “Tyres and wheels” on page 11-12.
l Be sure all 4 tyres and wheels are the
same size and type.
When it is necessary to replace any of
the tyres or wheels, replace all 4 tyres.
l All tyres should be rotated before the
wear difference between the front and
rear tyres is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expec- ted if there is a difference in wear between tyres. Refer to “Tyre rotation” on page 10-14.
l Check the tyre inflation pressure regular-
ly.CAUTIONl Always use tyres of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no wear differences. Using tyres of differentsize, type, brands or degree of wear, will in-
crease the differential oil temperature, result-
ing in possible damage to the driving sys-
tem. Further, the drive train will be subjec- ted to excessive loading possibly leading tooil leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous faults.TowingCAUTIONl Do not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with the
front or rear wheels on the ground (Type Aor Type B) as illustrated. This could result in
damage to the drivetrain, or unstable towing.
If you tow 4-wheel drive vehicles, use Type C or Type D equipment.
l Even in “2WD” drive mode, the vehicle can-
not be towed with the front or the rear wheels on the ground.

Driving hints
lAlways keep a safe distance from the ve-
hicle in front of you. Even if your vehi- cle is equipped with ABS, leave a great-
er braking distance when: • Driving on gravel or snow-covered
roads.
• Driving with tyre chains installed.
• Driving on uneven road surfaces.
l Operation of ABS is not restricted to sit-
uations where brakes are applied sud-
denly. This system may also prevent the
wheels from locking when you drive over manholes, steel roadwork plates, road markings, or any uneven road sur-
face.
l When the ABS is activated, you may
feel the brake pedal pulsation and the vi- brations of the vehicle body and steering
wheel. It may also feel as if the pedal re-
sists being pressed.
In this situation, simply hold the brake pedal down firmly. Do not
pump the brake, which will result in reduced braking performance.
l An operation noise is emitted from the
engine compartment or you can feel a shock from the brake pedal when start
driving immediately after starting the en-
gine. These are normal sounds or opera- tions that the ABS makes when perform-ing a self-check. It does not indicate a
malfunction.
l The ABS can be used after the vehicle
has reached a speed over approximately 10 km/h (6 mph). It stops working when the vehicle slows below approximately5 km/h (3 mph).CAUTIONl The ABS cannot prevent accidents. It is your
responsibility to take safety precautions and to drive carefully.
l To prevent failure of the ABS, be sure all 4
wheels and tyres are the same size and the same type.
l Do not install any aftermarket limited-slip
differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ABS may stop functioning properly.ABS warning lamp/display
E00607201135
Warning lampWarning display type 1Warning display type 2
If there is a malfunction in the system, the
ABS warning lamp will come on and the
warning display will appear on the informa- tion screen in the multi-information display.
Under normal conditions, the ABS warning
lamp only comes on when the ignition switch
is turned to the “ON” position or the opera- tion mode is put in ON and goes off a few
seconds later.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)

OGAE14E1Starting and driving6

Active stability control
(ASC)* E00616700331
The Active Stability Control (ASC) takes
overall control of the anti-lock brake system, traction control function and stability control
function to help maintain the vehicle’s con-
trol and traction. Please read this section in conjunction with the page on the anti-lock
brake system, traction control function and stability control function.

Anti-lock brake system (ABS) ® p. 6-46
Traction control function ® p. 6-50
Stability control function ® p. 6-50CAUTIONl Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC
cannot prevent the natural laws of physics
from acting on the vehicle.
This system, like any other system, has lim-
its and cannot help you to maintain traction and control of the vehicle in all circumstan- ces. Reckless driving may lead to accidents. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive care-
fully. This means taking into account the traffic, road and environmental conditions.
l Be sure to use the same specified type and
size of tyre on all 4 wheels. Otherwise, the ASC may not work properly.CAUTIONl Do not install any aftermarket limited-slip
differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC
may stop functioning properly.NOTEl An operation noise may be emitted from the
engine compartment in the following situa-
tions. The sound is associated with checking the operations of the ASC. At this time, you
may feel a shock from the brake pedal if you depress it. These do not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
• When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is
put in ON.
• When the vehicle is driven for a while af-
ter the engine is turned on.
l When the ASC is activated, you may feel a
vibration in the vehicle body or hear a whin- ing sound from the engine compartment.
This indicates that the system is operating
normally. It does not indicate a malfunction.
l When the anti-lock brake system warning
lamp is illuminated, the ASC is not active.Traction control function
E00619000087
On slippery surfaces, the traction control
function prevents the drive wheels from spin-
ning excessive, thus helping the vehicle to start moving from a stopped condition. It also
provides sufficient driving force and steering performance as the vehicle turns while press-
ing the acceleration pedal.
CAUTIONl When driving a vehicle on a snowy or icy
road, be sure to install snow tyres and drive
the vehicle at moderate speeds.Stability control function
E00619100017
The stability control function is designed to
help the driver maintain control of the vehicle
on slippery roads or during rapid steering ma-
noeuvres. It works by controlling the engine output and brake on each wheel.
NOTEl The stability control function operates at
speeds of about 15 km/h (9 mph) or higher.

CAUTIONlAlways use tyres of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no wear differences.
Using tyres of different size, type, brands or
degree of wear, will increase the differential
oil temperature, resulting in possible damage to the driving system. Further, the drive train
will be subjected to excessive loading, possi- bly leading to oil leakage, component seiz-ure, or other serious faults.Replacing tyres and wheels
E01007200243
CAUTIONl Avoid using different size tyres from the one
listed and the combined use of different
types of tyres, as this can affect driving safe- ty.
Refer to “Tyres and wheels” on page
11-12.
l Even if a wheel has the same rim size and
offset as the specified type of wheel, its
shape may prevent it from being fitted cor- rectly. We recommend you to consult a spe-
cialist before using wheels that you have.Tyre rotation
E01001901317
Tyre wear varies with vehicle conditions,
road surface conditions and individual driv- er’s driving habits. To equalize the wear andhelp extend tyre life, it is recommended to ro-
tate the tyres immediately after discovery of
abnormal wear, or whenever the wear differ- ence between the front and rear tyres is rec-
ognizable.
When rotating tyres, check for uneven wear
and damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused by incorrect tyre pressure, improper wheel alignment, out of balance wheel, or se-
vere braking. We recommend you to have it checked to determine the cause of irregular
tread wear.FrontFrontFrontSpare tyre used*Spare tyre not usedTyres with arrows showing rotation direction

tion using a spare wheel.
