2017 MITSUBISHI ASX power steering

If the ABS warning lamp/display and brake warning
lamp/display illuminate at the same timeWarning lampWarning display type 1Warning display type 2
The ABS and brake force distribution func- tion may not work, so hard braking could
make the vehicle unstable.
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and we rec-
ommend you to have it checked.
NOTEl The ABS warning lamp and brake warning
lamp illuminate at the same time and the
warning displays appear alternately on the information screen in the multi-informationdisplay.After driving on icy roads
E00618800150
After driving on snow or icy roads, remove
any snow and ice which may have accumula-
ted around the wheels. On vehicles that have
an ABS, be careful not to damage the wheel
speed sensors (A) or the cables located at each wheel.

Electric power steering
system (EPS) E00629200226
The power steering system operates while theengine is running. It helps reduce the effort
needed to turn the steering wheel.
The power steering system has mechanical
steering capability in case the power assist is lost. If the power assist is lost for some rea-
son, you will still be able to steer your vehi-
cle, but you will notice it takes much more effort to steer. If this happens, have your ve-hicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.

WARNINGlDo not stop the engine while the vehicle is
moving. Stopping the engine would make the steering wheel extremely hard to turn,
possibly resulting in an accident.NOTEl During repeated full-lock turning of the
steering wheel (for example, while you are manoeuvring the vehicle into a parking space), a protection function may be activa-
ted to prevent overheating of the power steering system. This function will make the
steering wheel gradually harder to turn. In
this event, limit your turning of the steering wheel for a while. When the system has
cooled down, the steering action will return to normal.
l If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi-
cle is stationary with the headlamps on, the
headlamps may become dim. This behaviour is not abnormal. The headlamps will returnto their original brightness after a shortwhile.Electric power steering system

When there is a malfunction in the system, the warning display will appear on the infor-
mation screen in the multi-information dis-
play.
CAUTIONl If the warning display appears while engine
is running, have the vehicle inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point as soon as possible. It may become
harder to turn the steering wheel.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. 6-48
Traction control function ® p. 6-52
Stability control function ® p. 6-52CAUTIONl 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.

If the vehicle breaks downE00800101108
If the vehicle breaks down on the road, move it to the shoulder and turn on the hazard
warning flashers and set up a warning trian- gle, flashing lamp, etc.
Refer to “Hazard warning flasher switch” on
page 5-55.
If the engine stops/fails
Vehicle operation and control are affected if
the engine stops.
Before moving the vehicle to a safe area, be
aware of the following:
l The brake booster becomes inoperative
and the pedal effort will increase. Press down the brake pedal harder than usual.
l Since the power steering system is no
longer operative, the steering wheel feels
heavy when turning it.
Emergency starting
E00800504259
If the engine cannot be started because thebattery is weak or dead, the battery from an-other vehicle can be used with jumper cables to start the engine.
WARNINGl To start the engine by using jumper ca-
bles from another vehicle, perform thecorrect procedures according to the in-
struction below. Incorrect procedures could result in a fire or explosion or dam-
age to the vehicles.CAUTIONl Do not attempt to start the engine by pulling
or pushing the vehicle.
It could damage your vehicle.
l Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the battery.
l Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
1.
Get the vehicles close enough so the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other.
CAUTIONl Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-
volt battery.
If the other system isn’t 12-volt, shorting can
damage both vehicles.
2. Turn off all lamps, heater and other elec-
trical loads.
3. Set the parking brake firmly on each ve-
hicle. Put an A/T, CVT in “P” (Park) or
a M/T in “N” (Neutral).
4. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK”
position or put the operation mode in
OFF.WARNINGl Perform step 4 on both vehicles before-
hand.
Make sure that the cables or your clothes
cannot be caught by the fan or drive belt.
Personal injury could result.
5. Make sure battery electrolyte is at the
proper level.
Refer to “Battery” on page 10-09.
WARNINGl If electrolyte fluid is not visible, or ap-
pears to be frozen, Do Not Attempt Jump
Starting!
A battery might rupture or explode if the temperature is below the freezing point orif it is not filled to the proper level.
6. Connect one end of one jumper cable to
the positive (+) terminal of the dis-charged battery (A), and the other end to
the positive (+) terminal of the booster
battery (B).

If the vehicle breaks down
8-02OGAE17E2For emergencies8

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 “AS&G OFF”switch to deactivate the AS&G system be-
fore stopping the vehicle.
Refer to “To deactivate” on page 6-22.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.
