2017 MITSUBISHI ASX parking brake

This warning is displayed if you drive withthe parking brake still applied. The warning lamp in the instrument cluster only illumi-
nates when the parking brake is applied.CAUTIONl If a vehicle is driven without releasing the
parking brake, the brake will be overheated, resulting in ineffective braking and possiblebrake failure.
If this warning is displayed, release the park-
ing brake.Type 1Type 2
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is put in
ON, if the brake fluid is low, this warning is displayed.
The warning lamp in the instrument cluster
also illuminates.CAUTIONl If this warning stays illuminated and does
not go out while driving, there is a danger of
ineffective braking. In this case, immediate- ly park your vehicle in a safe place and we
recommend you to have it checked.
l If the brake warning display is displayed and
the brake warning lamp and the ABS warn- ing lamp are illuminated at the same time,
the braking force distribution function will not operate, so the vehicle may be destabi-
lised during sudden braking. Avoid sudden
braking and high-speed driving, stop the ve- hicle in a safe place, and we recommend you
to have it checked.
l The vehicle should be brought to a halt in
the following manner when brake perform-
ance has deteriorated.
• Depress the brake pedal harder than usual.
Even if the brake pedal moves down to the very end of its possible stroke, keep it
pressed down hard.
• Should the brakes fail, use engine braking
to reduce your speed and pull the parking
brake lever.
Depress the brake pedal to operate the
stop lamp to alert the vehicles behind you.Charge warning display

To park the vehicle, fully engage the parkingbrake, and then move the gearshift lever to 1 st
or “R” (Reverse) position for vehicles equip-
ped with M/T, or set the selector lever to “P”
(PARK) position for vehicles equipped with
A/T or CVT.
Parking on a hill
To prevent the vehicle from rolling, followthese procedures:
Parking on a downhill slope
Turn the front wheels towards the kerb and
move the vehicle forward until the kerb side wheel gently touches the kerb.
On vehicles equipped with M/T, apply the
parking brake and place the gearshift lever
into the “R” (Reverse) position.
On vehicles equipped with A/T, CVT, apply
the parking brake and place the selector lever
into the “P” (PARK) position.
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
Parking on an uphill slope
Turn the front wheels away from the kerb and move the vehicle back until the kerb side
wheel gently touches the kerb.
On vehicles equipped with M/T, apply the
parking brake and place the gearshift lever
into the 1 st
position.
On vehicles equipped with A/T, CVT, apply
the parking brake and place the selector lever
into the “P” (PARK) position.
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
NOTEl If your vehicle is equipped with
A/T, CVT,
be sure to apply the parking brake before
moving selector lever to the “P” (PARK) po- sition. If you move the selector lever to the
“P” (PARK) position before applying the parking brake, it may be difficult to disen-
gage the selector lever from the “P” (PARK) position when next you drive the vehicle, re-
quiring application of a strong force to the selector lever to move from the “P” (PARK)
position.

To lock
Remove the key at the “LOCK” position.
Turn the steering wheel until it is locked.
To unlock
Turn the key to the “ACC” position while
moving the steering wheel slightly right and left.
CAUTIONl Remove the key when leaving the vehicle.
In some countries, it is prohibited to leave the key in the vehicle when parked.Starting
E00620601370
Tips for starting
l Do not operate the starter motor continu-
ously longer than 10 seconds; doing so
could run down the battery. If the engine
does not start, turn the ignition switch
back to “LOCK”, wait a few seconds,
and then try again. Trying repeatedly with the starter motor still turning will damage the starter mechanism.
WARNINGl Never run the engine in a closed or poorly
ventilated area any longer than is needed
to move your vehicle in or out of the area. Carbon monoxide gases are odourless and can be fatal.CAUTIONl Never attempt to start the engine by pushing
or pulling the vehicle.
l Do not run the engine at high rpm or drive
the vehicle at high speed until the engine has had a chance to warm up.
l Release the ignition key as soon as the en-
gine starts to avoid damaging the starter mo-
tor.Starting the engine (petrol-

on page 3-17.

[Except vehicles equipped with keyless op-
eration system]
The starting procedure is as follows: 1. Insert the ignition key and fasten the seat
belt.
2. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
3. Press and hold the brake pedal down
firmly with your right foot.
4. Fully depress the clutch pedal (M/T).
5. On vehicles equipped with M/T, place

2. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
3. Press and hold the brake pedal down
firmly with your right foot.
4. Fully depress the clutch pedal (M/T).
5. On vehicles equipped with M/T, place
the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position.
On vehicles equipped with A/T, make
sure the selector lever is in the “P”
(PARK) position.
6. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” posi-
tion.
The diesel preheat indication lamp will first illuminate, and then after a short
time go out, indicating that preheating is completed.
NOTEl If the engine is cold, the diesel preheat indi-
cation lamp is on for a longer time.NOTEl When the engine has not been started within
about 5 seconds after the diesel preheat indi- cation lamp went out, return the ignition key
to the “LOCK” position. Then, turn the key
to the “ON” position to preheat the engine again.
l When the engine is warm, the diesel preheat
indication lamp does not come on even if the
ignition key is placed in the “ON” position.
Start the engine by turning the ignition key
right to the “START” position.
7. Turn the ignition key to the “START”
position without depressing the accelera- tor pedal, and release it when the engine
starts.
NOTEl Minor noises may be heard on engine start-
up. These will disappear as the engine
warms up.NOTEl For diesel-powered vehicles, if the tempera-
ture inside the engine compartment is high,
the cooling fans (A) will continue to operate for some time even if the engine is stopped.
Therefore, the operation sound of the cool-
ing fans may be heard even after the engine is stopped. This sound is normal and does
not indicate a malfunction.
After operating for a period of time, the cooling fans will stop automatically.

When the selector lever cannot be shifted
from the “P” (PARK) position to another po-
sition while the brake pedal is pressed and
held down with the ignition switch or the op- eration mode in ON, the battery may be flator the shift-lock mechanism may be malfunc-
tioning. Immediately have your vehicle checked by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.

DRIVING DOWNHILL
According to the conditions, the transmission
will automatically shift to a lower gear to achieve stronger engine braking. This may
help reduce your need to use the service
brake.
Waiting
E00604600388
For short waiting periods, such as at traffic signals, the vehicle can be left in gear and held stationary with the service brake.
For longer waiting periods with the engine
running, place the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and apply the parking
brake, while holding the vehicle stationary with the service brake.
CAUTIONl Never hold the vehicle stationary while in
gear on a hill with the accelerator, always
apply the parking brake and/or service
brake.Parking
E00604700305
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com-
plete stop, fully engage the parking brake,and then move the selector lever to the “P”
(PARK) position.
If you are going to leave the vehicle unatten-
ded, always switch off the engine and carry the key.NOTEl On a slope, be sure to apply the parking
brake before moving the selector lever to the
“P” (PARK) position. If you move the selec- tor lever to the “P” (PARK) position before applying the parking brake, it may be diffi-
cult to disengage the selector lever from the
“P” (PARK) position when next you drive the vehicle, requiring application of a strong
force to the selector lever to move from the
“P” (PARK) position.When the A/T makes no speed
change
E00604801941
If the transmission does not change speeds
while driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough speed when starting on an uphillslope, it may be that there is something un-
usual happening in the transmission, causing a safety device to activate. We recommendthat you have your vehicle inspected immedi-
ately.

The CVT will automatically and continuous- ly change its gear ratio depending on road
and driving conditions. This helps achieve
smooth driving and excellent fuel efficiency.
Also you can manually shift up and shift down the transmission. Refer to “Sports
mode” on page 6-36.Selector lever operation
