2018 MITSUBISHI ASX inflation pressure

NOTElTyre inflation pressures vary with the ambi-
ent temperature. If the vehicle is subjected to large variations in ambient temperature, the tyre inflation pressures may be low (causing
the warning lamp/display to come on) when the ambient temperature is relatively low. If the warning lamp/display comes on, adjustthe tyre inflation pressure.Whenever the tyres and wheels
are replaced with new ones
E00637400025
If new wheels with new tyre inflation pres- sure sensors are installed, their ID codes must be programmed into the tyre pressure moni- toring system. Have tyre and wheel replace-
ment performed by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point to avoid
the risk of damaging the tyre inflation pres- sure sensors. If the wheel replacement is not
done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point, it is not covered by your warranty.
CAUTIONl The use of non-genuine wheels will prevent
the proper fit of the tyre inflation pressure sensors, resulting air leakage or damage of
the sensors.Reset of low tyre pressure

12.After injecting the sealant, securely fit
the valve remover (E) into the end of the filler hose (J) to prevent sealant from
leaking from the empty bottle.
13. Pull out the compressor hose (K) from
the side of the tyre compressor, and then
securely attach the hose to the tyre valve (D).
14. Place the compressor (L) with its air
pressure gauge (M) on top.
Pull out the compressor’s power cord
(N), insert the plug on the cord into the accessory socket or cigarette lighter
socket (O), and then turn the ignition switch to “ACC” position or put the op-
eration mode in ACC. Refer to “Ciga-
rette lighter” on page 7-71 and “Acces-
sory socket” on page 7-72.
Turn ON the compressor switch (P) and
inflate the tyre to the specified pressure. (Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures” on
page 10-13.)CAUTIONl The supplied compressor is designed only
for inflation of passenger vehicle tyres.
l The compressor is designed to run on a vehi-
cle’s 12 V power supply. Do not connect itto any other power source.
l The compressor is not waterproof. If you use
it in rain, make sure water does not get on it.
l Any sand or dust sucked into the compressor
could make the compressor break down. Do not place the compressor directly on anysandy or dusty surface when using it.
l Do not disassemble or modify the compres-
sor. Also, do not subject the air pressure
gauge to shock. It could malfunction.
15. Check and adjust the tyre pressure with
reference to the air pressure gauge on the
compressor. If you overinflate the tyre, release air by loosening the hose’s end
fitting.
If there is a gap between the tyre and
wheel because the tyre has moved in-
ward from the wheel rim, press the pe- riphery of the tyre towards the wheel to
close the gap before running the com- pressor. (With no gaps, the tyre pressure
will rise.)
CAUTIONl Be careful not to get your fingers trapped be-
tween the tyre and wheel as the tyre inflates.

On vehicles with A/T or CVT, move the
selector lever to the “P” (PARK) posi- tion and stop the engine.
4. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and
set up a warning triangle, flashing signal
lamp, etc., at an adequate distance from
the vehicle, and have all your passengers
leave the vehicle.NOTEl The warning triangle and flashing signal
lamp do not come with your vehicle. It is recommended that you keep one in the vehi- cle for use if needed.
5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling
when it is raised on the jack, place
chocks or blocks (A) in front of and be- hind the tyre that is diagonally opposite
from the tyre (B) you are changing.
WARNINGl Be sure to apply chocks or blocks to the
correct tyre when jacking up the vehicle.If the vehicle moves while jacked up, the
jack could slip out of position, leading to
an accident.NOTEl The chocks shown in the illustration do not
come with your vehicle. It is recommended
that you keep one in the vehicle for use if needed.
l If chocks or blocks are not available, use
stones or any other objects that are large enough to hold the wheel in position.
6. Get the jack bar and wheel nut wrench
ready.
Refer to “Tool and jack” on page 8-06.
Spare wheel information*
E00803601843
Check the air pressure of the spare tyre fre-
quently and make sure it is ready for emer-
gency use at any time.

Maintaining the spare wheel at the highest specified air pressure will ensure that it can
always be used under any conditions (city/ high-speed driving, varying load weight,etc.).
The spare wheel is stored beneath the lug-
gage floor board of the luggage compartment.
CAUTIONl The pressure should be periodically checked
and maintained at the specified pressure while the tyre is stowed.
Driving with an insufficient tyre pressure
can lead to an accident. If you have no choice but to drive with an insufficient tyre
pressure, keep your speed down and inflate the tyre to the correct pressure as soon as
possible. (Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures”
on page 10-13.)
l When the tread wear indicators appear, the
tyre must be replaced.
Refer to “Wheel condition” on page 10-14.

(Achieved by applying force of 350 to
420 N at end of wheel nut wrench sup- plied with vehicle)CAUTIONl Never use your foot or a pipe extension for
extra force in the wheel nut wrench. If you
do so, you will tighten the nut too much.
10. If the vehicle has a wheel cover, install
it.
Refer to “Wheel covers” on page 8-20.
11. Lower and remove the jack, then store
the jack, flat tyre, and chocks. Have your
damaged tyre repaired as soon as possi- ble.
12. Check your tyre inflation pressure at the
next gasstation. The correct tyre pres-
sures are shown on the driver’s door la- bel. See the illustration.
CAUTIONl The temporary spare wheel is to be used on-
ly temporarily when the standard wheel isdamaged. Repair the damaged tyre as soon
as possible and use it to replace the tempora- ry spare tyre.
l After changing the tyre and driving the vehi-
cle about 1,000 km (620 miles), retighten the
wheel nuts to make sure that they have not come loose.
l If the steering wheel vibrates when driving
after changing the tyre, we recommend you to have the tyres checked for balance.
l Do not mix one type of tyre with another or
use a different size from the one listed. This would cause early wear and poor handling.To store the flat tyre or spare
wheel
E00803401320
1. Lift up the luggage floor board.
2. Store the flat tyre or the spare wheel un-
der the luggage floor board. To store the
flat tyre or spare wheel, fit the installa-
tion clamp (A) by turning it clockwise,
and then install the spare tyre pad (B).NOTEl On vehicles with a
T155/90D16 size spare
wheel, the clamp cannot be used for a nor-
mal size tyre.

Operation under adversedriving conditions E00801702531
On a flooded road
l Avoid flooded roads. Water could enter
the brake discs, resulting in temporarily ineffective brakes. In such cases, lightly
depress the brake pedal to see if the
brakes operate properly. If they do not,
lightly depress the pedal several times while driving in order to dry the brake
pads.
l When driving in rain or on a road with
many puddles a layer of water may form
between the tyres and the road surface.
This reduces a tyre’s frictional resistance on the road, resulting in loss of steering
stability and braking capability.

To cope with this, observe the following items:
(a)Drive your vehicle at slow
speed. (b)Do not drive on worn tyres. (c)Always maintain the specified tyre inflation pressures.On a snow-covered or frozen
road
l The use of snow tyres or tyre chains is
recommended for driving on snow and
ice.
Refer to the “Snow tyres” and “Tyre chains” sections.
l Avoid high-speed driving, sudden accel-
eration, sudden braking, and sharp turns.
l Depressing the brake pedal during travel
on snowy or icy roads may cause tyre
slippage and skidding. Tyres may slip if the ability of the tyres to grip the roadsurface lessens. This may make it more
difficult to stop the vehicle with normal
braking operations. For vehicles with an anti-lock brake system (ABS), firmly de-
press and hold down the brake pedal.
l Keep a larger distance than normal be-
tween your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you, and avoid sudden braking.
l Accumulation of ice on the braking sys-
tem can cause the wheels to lock. Pull away from a standstill slowly after con- firming safety around the vehicle.
CAUTIONl Do not press the accelerator pedal rapidly. If
the wheels break free of the ice, the vehicle
could suddenly start moving and possibly cause an accident.
On a bumpy or rutted road
l Drive as slow as possible when driving
on bumpy or rutted roads.
CAUTIONl The impact on tyres and/or wheels when
driving on a bumpy or rutted road can dam-
age the tyre and/or wheel.
Operation under adverse driving conditions
8-25OGAE18E1For emergencies8

NOTElWhen the vehicle is to be left unused for a
long period of time, remove the battery and
store it in a place where the battery fluid will not freeze. The battery should be stored only in a fully charged condition.Tyres

1- Location of the tread wear indicator
2- Tread wear indicator
Check the tyres for cuts, cracks and other damage. Replace the tyres if there are deep
cuts or cracks. Also check each tyre for pieces of metal or pebbles.
The use of worn tyres can be very dangerous
because of the greater chance of skidding or
hydroplaning. The tread depth of the tyres
must exceed 1.6 mm in order for the tyres to meet the minimum requirement for use.
Tread wear indicators will appear on the sur-
face of the tyre as the tyre wears, thereby in-
dicating that the tyre no longer meets the
minimum requirement for use. When these wear indicators appear, the tyres must be re-
placed with new ones.
On 4-wheel drive vehicles, when replacement of any of the tyres is necessary, replace all of
them.CAUTIONl Always 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
E01007201514
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.
l As your vehicle is equipped with a tyre pres-
sure monitoring system, only MITSUBISHI
MOTORS genuine wheels should be used.
Use of another type of wheel risks air leaks and sensor damage, as it will not be possible
to install the tyre inflation pressure sensors
properly.
Refer to “Tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS)*” on page 6-71.

tyres.
Using different types of tyres can affect ve-
hicle performance and safety.Snow tyres
E01002001852
The use of snow tyres is recommended for
driving on snow and ice. To preserve driving stability, mount snow tyres of the same size and tread pattern on all 4 wheels.
A snow tyre that is worn down more than
50% is no longer appropriate to use.
Snow tyres which do not meet specifications must not be used.
CAUTIONl Observe permissible maximum speed for
your snow tyres and the legal speed limit.
l As your vehicle is equipped with a tyre pres-
sure monitoring system, only MITSUBISHI
MOTORS genuine wheels should be used.
Use of another type of wheel risks air leaks and sensor damage, as it will not be possible
to install the tyre inflation pressure sensors
properly.
Refer to “Tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)*” on page 6-71.NOTEl The laws and regulations concerning snow
tyres (driving speed, required use, type, etc.)
vary. Find out and follow the laws and regu- lations in the area you intend to drive.
l If flange nuts are used on your vehicle,
change to tapered nuts when steel wheels are used.Tyre chains
E01002103394
If tyre chains have to be used, ensure that
they are fitted only on the drive wheels
(front) in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
On 4WD vehicles in which the driving power
is distributed preferentially to the front wheels, ensure that the tyre chains are fitted on the front.
Use only tyre chains which are designed for use with the tyres mounted on the vehicle: use of the incorrect size or type of chain
could result in damage to the vehicle body.
Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point before putting on tyre chains. The max. chain height is as follows.

When driving with tyre chains on the tyres,
do not drive faster than 50 km/h (30 mph) .
When you reach roads that are not covered in snow, immediately remove the tyre chains.
CAUTIONl Practice fitting the chains before you need
them. Don’t expect help from other people
in the cold.
l Choose a clear straight stretch of road where
you can pull over and still be seen while you are fitting the chains.
l Do not fit chains before you need them. This
will wear out your tyres and the road sur- face.
l After driving around 100-300 metres, stop
and retighten the chains.
l Drive cautiously and do not exceed 50 km/h
(30 mph).
Remember that preventing accidents is not
the purpose of tyre chains.
l When tyre chains are installed, take care that
they do not damage the disc wheel or body.
