2018 MITSUBISHI ASX coolant temperature

NOTElWhile the engine coolant temperature is low,
the temperature of the air from the heaterwill be cool/cold until the engine warms up, even if you have selected warm air with the
dial.
l On vehicles with the automatic air condi-
tioning, when the temperature is set to the highest or the lowest setting under the AU-
TO operation, the air selection and the air
conditioning will be automatically changed as follows.
• Quick Heating (When the temperature is
set to the highest setting)
Outside air will be introduced and the air
conditioning will stop.
• Quick Cooling (When the temperature is
set to the lowest setting)
Inside air will be recirculated and the air
conditioning will operate.
The settings described above are the factory
settings. The air selection and air condition-
ing switches can be customized (function set-
ting changed), and the automatic switching of outside air and the air conditioning according
to operating conditions can be changed as de- sired.
For further information, we recommend you to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.

Manual air conditioningAutomatic air conditioning
CAUTIONl Normally, use the outside position to keep
the windscreen and side windows clear and quickly remove fog or frost from the wind- screen.
If high cooling performance is desired, or if
the outside air is dusty or otherwise contami- nated use the recirculation position. Switch
to the outside position periodically to in- crease ventilation so that the windows do notbecome fogged up.
l Use of the recirculation position for exten-
ded time may cause the windows to fog up.NOTEl On vehicles with the heater and the manual
air conditioning, when the system operateswith the selection switch in the outside posi- tion, the system automatically determines
whether to continue using outside air or to
perform recirculation. If the outside air tem-
perature is high, the system selects recircula- tion and causes the indication lamp (A) in
the switch to illuminate (for vehicles with the manual air conditioning, the system se-
lects recirculation to achieve rapid cooling). Press the selection switch to return to out-
side air introduction.

To stop the system, turn the blower speed se-lection dial to the “OFF” position.NOTEl While the engine coolant temperature is low,
the temperature of the air from the heaterwill be cool/cold until the engine warms up, even if you have selected warm air with the
dial. To prevent the windscreen and win-
dows from fogging up, the ventilator mode
will be changed to “
” and the blower
speed will be reduced.
l If the blower speed selection dial, air condi-
tioning switch, mode selection dial, or air se-
lection switch is operated while the system is operating in the AUTO mode, the activa-ted function overrides the corresponding
function of automatic control. All other
functions remain under automatic control.

tance running.NOTEl For vehicles equipped with the Auto Stop &
Go (AS&G) system, press the “AS&G OFF”switch to deactivate the AS&G system and
prevent the engine from automatically stop- ping before the battery is sufficiently charg-
ed.
Refer to “To deactivate” on page 6-22.
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

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.

Except for diesel-powered 1600models
Use “ MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
SUPER LONG LIFE COOLANT PREMI-
UM” or equivalent*.
*: similar high quality ethylene glycol based
non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrate and non- borate coolant with long life hybrid organic acid technology.

MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE Coolant
has excellent protection against corrosion and rust formation of all metals including alumi-
nium and can avoid blockages in the radiator,
heater, cylinder head, engine block, etc.
Diesel-powered 1600 models
Use “ALTECO Freecor DSC, BASF Glysan- tin Alu Protect Premium/G30 or G33, or Bru-
garolas Bradol 497”.

This coolant has excellent protection against
corrosion and rust formation of all metals in-
cluding aluminium and can avoid clogs in the
radiator, heater, cylinder head, engine block,
etc.
Because of the necessity of this anti-corro-
sion agent, the coolant must not be replaced with plain water even in summer.
Because of the necessity of this anti-corro-
sion agent, the coolant must not be replaced with plain water even in summer. The re-
quired concentration of anti-freeze differs de-
pending on the expected ambient tempera- ture.

Above -35 °C: 50 % concentration of anti-
freeze
Below -35 °C: 60 % concentration of anti-
freezeCAUTIONl Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze
or any engine coolants mixed with alcohol or methanol anti-freeze. The use of an im-
proper anti-freeze can cause corrosion of the aluminium components.
l Do not use water to adjust the concentration
of coolant.
l Concentrations exceeding 60 % will result in
a reduction of both the anti-freeze and cool-
ing performance thus adversely affecting the engine.
l Do not top up with water only.
Water by itself reduces the rust-protective
and anti-freeze qualities of the coolant and has a lower boiling point. It can also causedamage to the cooling system if it should freeze. Do not use tapwater, as it can causecorrosion and rust formation.During cold weather
If the temperatures in your area drop below
freezing, there is the danger that the coolant
in the engine or radiator could freeze and cause severe damage to the engine and/or ra-diator. Add a sufficient amount of anti-freeze
to the coolant to prevent it from freezing. The concentration should be checked before the start of cold weather and anti-freeze add- ed to the system if necessary.
