2018 MITSUBISHI ASX stop start

CAUTIONlDo not install any aftermarket limited-slip
differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC
may stop functioning properly.NOTEl An operation noise may be emitted from the
engine compartment in the following situa-
tions. The sound is associated with checking the operations of the ASC. At this time, you
may feel a shock from the brake pedal if you depress it. These do not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
• When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is
put in ON.
• When the vehicle is driven for a while af-
ter the engine is turned on.
l When the ASC is activated, you may feel a
vibration in the vehicle body or hear a whin- ing sound from the engine compartment.
This indicates that the system is operating
normally. It does not indicate a malfunction.
l When the anti-lock brake system warning
lamp is illuminated, the ASC is not active.Traction control function
E00619000087
On slippery surfaces, the traction control
function prevents the drive wheels from spin-
ning excessive, thus helping the vehicle to start moving from a stopped condition. It also
provides sufficient driving force and steering performance as the vehicle turns while press-
ing the acceleration pedal.
CAUTIONl When driving a vehicle on a snowy or icy
road, be sure to install snow tyres and drive
the vehicle at moderate speeds.Stability control function
E00619100017
The stability control function is designed to
help the driver maintain control of the vehicle
on slippery roads or during rapid steering ma-
noeuvres. It works by controlling the engine output and brake on each wheel.
NOTEl The stability control function operates at
speeds of about 15 km/h (9 mph) or higher.“ASC OFF” switch
E00619201842
The ASC is automatically activated when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON. You candeactivate the system by pressing down the
“ASC OFF” switch for 3 seconds or longer.
When the ASC is deactivated, the
display/
indicator will turn on. To reactivate the ASC, momentarily press the “ASC OFF” switch;
the
display/indicator is turned off.
CAUTIONl For safety reasons, the “ASC OFF” switch
should be operated when your vehicle is stopped.
l Be sure to keep the ASC on while driving in
normal circumstances.

Warning display type 1Warning display type 2NOTElThe combination of items shown on the dis-
play varies depending on the vehicle model.CAUTIONl The system may be malfunctioning.
Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop
the engine.
Restart the engine and check whether the display/indicator goes out. If they go out,
there is no abnormal condition. If they do not go out or appear frequently, it is not nec- essary to stop the vehicle immediately, but
we recommend you to have your vehicle in- spected.Towing
E00624400050CAUTIONl When towing the vehicle with only the front
wheels or only the rear wheels raised off the
ground, do not place the ignition switch in the “ON” position or do not put the opera- tion mode in ON. Placing the ignition switchin the “ON” position or putting the operation
mode in ON could cause the ASC to operate, resulting in an accident.
Note that the correct towing method depends
on the transmission type and the vehicle’s drive configuration.
For details, refer to “Towing” on page 8-21.Cruise control*
E00609101138
Cruise control is an automatic speed controlsystem that keeps a set speed. It can be acti-vated at about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more.
CAUTIONl When you do not wish to drive at a set
speed, turn off the cruise control for safety.
l Do not use cruise control when driving con-
ditions will not allow you to stay at the same
speed, such as in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered, wet, slippery, on a steep downhill slope.CAUTIONl On vehicles with
M/T, do not move the
gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) position
while driving at a set speed without depress- ing the clutch pedal. The engine will run too
fast and might be damaged.NOTEl Cruise control may not be able to keep your
speed on uphills or downhills.
l Your speed may decrease on a steep uphill.
You may use the accelerator pedal if you
want to stay at your set speed.
l Your speed may increase to more than the
set speed on a steep downhill. You must use the brake to control your speed. As a result, the set speed driving is deactivated.

Mitigation system (FCM)* E00635101315
The Forward Collision Mitigation System(FCM) uses a sensor (A) to determine the
distance and relative speed to a vehicle and a pedestrian in front. When your vehicle is ap-
proaching a vehicle or a pedestrian straight- ahead in your path and the FCM judges that
there is the risk of a collision, the system gives audible and visual warnings (forward
collision warning function), increases the
brake fluid pressure (FCM brake prefill func- tion), and also provides braking force assis-
tance when you depress the brake pedal (FCM brake assist function) to avoid frontal
collision.
When the risk of collision increases more, the
system causes the brakes to work moderately to encourage you to apply brakes. If the sys-tem judges that a potential collision is immi- nent, it initiates emergency braking to miti-
gate collision-caused damages or to avoid possible collision (FCM braking function).
Stop lamps are illuminated during automatic
braking.WARNINGl A driver is responsible for driving safely.
The FCM is the system to mitigate colli-sion- caused damages or to avoid colli-
sions as much as possible.
The system is not intended to compensate for driver’s loss of attention to the frontduring driving due to distraction or care-
lessness or supplement a drop in visibility
due to the rain and fog.
It is never a substitute for your safe and careful driving. Always be ready to apply
the brakes manually.
l The FCM works to avoid frontal collisions
as much as possible. However, the effect
of its operation varies depending on situa- tions and conditions, such as driving con-
ditions, road conditions, and steering, ac- celeration and braking operations, so that
the performance the function can deliver
is not always the same.
If your vehicle is in danger of collision,
take all necessary collision-evading ac- tions, such as depressing the brake pedal
strongly regardless of whether the system is activated or not.
l Do not try to confirm the operation of the
FCM. In certain situations, this can cause an accident resulting in serious injury or
death.

6-59OGAE18E1Starting and driving6

Once the emergency braking has worked, you
are alerted to this by a message on the infor- mation screen of the multi-information dis- play.
The FCM braking function operates at the
following vehicle speed:
l Against a vehicle: Approximately
5 km/h to 80 km/h
l Against a pedestrian: Approximately
5 km/h to 65 km/h
CAUTIONl Do not use the FCM as a normal braking.
l After your vehicle has stopped following the
activation of the FCM, automatic braking is
released. As the vehicle will then start creep-
ing, be sure to depress the brake pedal to hold the vehicle stationary.
l When applying the brake during the auto-
matic braking condition the pedal will feel
firm.
This is not abnormal.
You can apply more pressure to the pedal to
assist in braking.
l In the following situations, the system pro-
vides neither control nor alarming.CAUTION• When a vehicle or a pedestrian suddenly
cuts in front of your vehicle.
• When the distance from a vehicle or a pe-
destrian in front is extremely short.
• To an oncoming vehicle.
• On vehicles equipped with
A/T or CVT,
when the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position.
• On vehicles equipped with
M/T, when the
gearshift lever is in the “R” (Reverse) po-
sition.
• When the FCM has detected a problem in
the system.
l If the ASC is deactivated, the FCM braking
function will not operate. Refer to “Active
Stability Control (ASC)” on page 6-51.
l The FCM may or may not detect a motorcy-
cle, bicycle or wall depending on the situa-
tion. The FCM is not designed to detect these objects.
l The forward collision warning function
and/or the FCM braking function may not
activate in the following situations.
• When a vehicle suddenly appears just in
front of your vehicle.
• When a vehicle cuts in front of your vehi-
cle very closely.
• When the vehicle in front is offset to the
left or right.
• When the vehicle in front is towing a
trailer.
• A freight trailer that is not carrying a con-
tainer.CAUTION• The vehicle has a protruding load from
the carrier.
• The vehicle has a low vehicle height.
• The vehicle has an extremely high ground
clearance.
• When a vehicle in front is extremely dirty.
• When a vehicle in front is covered with
snow.

a similar shaped vehicle.
• When there is a different object near the
vehicle.
• When driving on a road with many and
successive curves, including when pass- ing their entrances and outlets.
• When accelerating and decelerating
quickly.
• When the system recognizes driver’s
steering, accelerating, braking or gear
shifting actions as evasive actions to
avoid collision.
• When you are driving on a road with
steep and alternating up and down slopes.
• When driving on a slippery road covered
by rain water, snow, ice etc.
• When a road surface is surging, and there
is unevenness.
• When driving in dark areas, such as in a
tunnel or at night.

• When the sensor becomes extremely hot
or cold.
• If the battery becomes weak or runs
down.
• When the sensor is affected by strong
light, such as direct sunlight or the head-lamps of an oncoming vehicle.
• Under adverse weather conditions (rain,
snow, sand storms, etc.)
• When the windscreen of the sensor por-
tion is covered with dirt, water droplets,
snow and ice, etc.
• When water, snow or sand on the road are
extorted by the vehicle in front or an on- coming vehicle.
l The FCM may not detect a pedestrian in cer-
tain situations. Some of these include:
• It the pedestrian is shorter than approxi-
mately 1 m or taller than approximately 2 m.CAUTION• If the pedestrian is wearing loose-fitting
clothes.
• If part of a pedestrian’s body is hidden,
such as when holding an umbrella, large
bag, etc.
• If a pedestrian bends forward, sits or lies
on the road.
• When a pedestrian is pushing/pulling
something, such as a stroller, bicycle or
wheelchair.
• When pedestrians gather in a group.
• When a pedestrian’s clothing appears to
be nearly the same colour or brightness as
its surroundings.
• When a pedestrian is very close to an ob-
ject, such as a vehicle.
• When a pedestrian is in a dark area, such
as at night or in a tunnel.
• When the pedestrian is walking fast or
running.
• When a pedestrian suddenly rushes in
front of the vehicle.
• When the position of a pedestrian is close
to the edge of the vehicle.
l Factors such as the positional relationship
between your vehicle and a vehicle in front,
driver’s own technique of steering the vehi-
cle and irregularly moving traffic due to ac-
cidents or vehicle trouble may deter the
FCM control and alarm from functioning.
l When the system recognizes driver’s steer-
ing or accelerating actions as evasive actions to avoid a collision, the FCM control and
alarm functions may be cancelled.CAUTIONl The FCM control and alarm functions may
be triggered in the following situations.
• When there is a structure (B) beside the
entrance of a curve and intersection.
• When running on a narrow iron bridge.
• When passing through a gate with small
head or side clearances.
• When there are metallic objects, steps or
projections on the road surface.
• When quickly approaching a vehicle in
front to overtake it.
• When passing an electronic toll collection
gate.
• When running under an overpass, an pe-
destrian overpass or a small tunnel.
• When running in Multi-storey car park.
• When the road gradiently and suddenly
changes while running.
• When stopping very close to a wall or a
vehicle in front.

NOTEType 1Type 2
Each tyre, including the spare (if so equip-
ped), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the tyre inflation pressure label. (If your vehiclehas tyres of a different size than the size indi-
cated on the tyre inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tyre inflationpressure for those tyres.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with the tyre pressure moni- toring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low
tyre pressure telltale when one or more of
your tyres is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tyre pressure tell-
tale illuminates, you should stop and checkyour tyres as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a sig- nificantly under-inflated tyre causes the tyre
to overheat and can lead to tyre failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread life, and may affect the vehi-
cle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is not a substitute for proper
tyre maintenance, and it is the driver’s re- sponsibility to maintain correct tyre pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached thelevel to trigger illumination of the tyre pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS) low tyre
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a warning lamp to indicate when the system is
not operating properly.
The warning lamp is combined with the low
tyre pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the
telltale will flash for approximately one mi- nute and then remain continuously illumina- ted. This sequence will continue upon subse-
quent vehicle start-ups as long as the mal-
function exists.
When the warning lamp is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal
low tyre pressure as intended.The tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
malfunctions may occur for a variety of rea-
sons, including the installation of replace- ment or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehi-cle that prevent the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) from functioning properly.
Always check the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) malfunction telltale after re-
placing one or more tyres or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or al- ternate tyres and wheels allow the tyre pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS) to continue to function properly.If the warning lamp/display il-
luminates while driving
E00637300037
1. If the warning lamp illuminates, avoid
hard braking, sharp steering manoeuvres
and high speeds. You should stop and adjust the tyres to the proper inflationpressure as soon as possible. Adjust the spare tyre at the same time. Refer to
“Tyres” on page 10-13
NOTEl In addition, the warning display will be dis-
played on the information screen in the mul-
ti-information display.

NOTElThe sensors do not detect objects located in
the area directly below or near the bumper. If the height of an object is lower than the
mounted position of the corner or back sen-
sors, the sensors may not continue detecting it even if they detected it initially.
For information on how to change the detec-
tion areas, please refer to “Changing the de- tection areas” on page 6-80.
CAUTIONl The reversing sensor system may not operate
properly under the following conditions:
• The sensors or surroundings are covered
with ice, snow, or mud.
• The sensors are frozen.
• The system receives ultrasonic noise from
other sources (the horns of other vehicles, motorcycle engines, brakes, radios, pour-
ing rain, splashing water, tyre chains, etc.).
• The sensors are extremely hot or cold
(while the vehicle is parked for a long pe- riod of time under a blazing sun or in coldweather).
• The vehicle tilts significantly.
• The vehicle is driven on a rough road
(with a bumpy, gravel, hilly, or grassy surface).
• The vehicle is too close to an obstacle.CAUTION•The sensors or surroundings have been
wiped by hand, or stickers or accessorieshave been attached.
l The reversing sensor system may not proper-
ly detect the following:
• Objects that are thin, such as wire nets or
ropes.
• Objects that absorb sound waves, such as
snow.
• Objects that are shaped with a sharp an-
gle.
• Objects with a smooth surface, such as
glass.
• Objects that are low, such as kerbstones.NOTEl The buzzer may sound lower than the nor-
mal warning sound when the reversing sen-sor system is receiving ultrasonic noise from
other sources, but this is not a malfunction.
The buzzer will stop sounding and the sys- tem will return to normal operation after thenoise is no longer received.To operate
E00615700738
