2017 MITSUBISHI ASX check engine

CAUTIONlWhen luggage is loaded onto the vehicle,
please make sure to drive slowly and avoid
excessive manoeuvres such as sudden brak- ing or quick turning.
In addition, place the luggage on the carrier
so that its weight is distributed evenly with the heaviest items on the bottom. Do not load items that are wider than the roof carri-
er.
The additional weight on the roof could raise
the vehicle’s centre of gravity and affect ve-
hicle handling characteristics.
As a result, driving errors or emergency ma- noeuvres could lead to a loss of control and
result in an accident.
l Before driving and after travelling a short
distance, always check the load to make sure
it is securely fastened to the roof carrier.
Check periodically during your travel that the load remains secure.NOTEl To 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
E00610001919
In order to tow a trailer with your vehicle,
have a trailer towing device mounted that
meets all relevant regulations in your area, consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized 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 or
CVT
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 exceed the maxi- mum speed limit for the selected shift posi- tion.
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.

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).

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.
l 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.

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.

E00800604090
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 “AS&G OFF”switch to deactivate the AS&G system be-
fore stopping the vehicle.
Refer to “To deactivate” on page 6-22.
[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.
