Mitsubishi ASX (2018 year). Instruction

The tyre inflation pressure sensor IDs for two
sets of tyres can be registered by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point, and the valid ID set can be switched by
the multi-information meter switch (It’s ben-
eficial in case of seasonal tyre change be-
tween summer tyre and winter tyre.)

WARNING

The  spare  wheel  does  not  have  a  tyre  in-
flation pressure sensor.
When the spare tyre is used, the tyre pres-
sure  monitoring  system  will  not  work
properly.
See  a  MITSUBISHI  MOTORS  Author-
ized  Service  Point  as  soon  as  possible  to
replace or repair the original tyre.

NOTE

The tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) is not a substitute for regularly
checking tyre inflation pressures.
Be sure to check the tyre inflation pressures
as described in “Tyres” on page 10-13.

The tyre inflation pressure sensor (B) is in-
stalled in the illustrated location.

•

On vehicles with Type 1 sensor which has
the metallic air valve (C), replace grom-
met and washer (D) with a new one when
the tyre is replaced.

•

On vehicles with Type 2 sensor which has
the rubber air valve (E), replace rubber air
valve (E) with a new one when the tyre is
replaced.

Starting and driving

If one or more of the vehicle tyres (except for
the spare tyre) is significantly under-inflated,
the  warning  lamp  will  remain  illuminated
while  the  ignition  switch  or  the  operation
mode is in ON.
Refer to “If the warning lamp/display illumi-
nates  while  driving”  on  page  6-74  and  take
the necessary measurements.

NOTE

In addition, the warning display will be dis-
played on the information screen in the mul-
ti-information display.

Type 1

Type 2

CAUTION

If  the  warning  lamp  does  not  illuminate
when  the  ignition  switch  is  turned  to  the
“ON” position or the operation mode is put
in ON, it means that the tyre pressure moni-
toring  system  (TPMS)  is  not  working  prop-
erly.  Have  the  system  inspected  by  a
MITSUBISHI  MOTORS  Authorized  Serv-
ice Point.
In  such  situations,  a  malfunctioning  of  the
system  may  prevent  the  monitoring  of  the
tyre  pressure.  Avoid  sudden  braking,  sharp
turning and high-speed driving.

CAUTION

If a malfunction is detected in the tyre pres-
sure  monitoring  system  (TPMS),  the  warn-
ing lamp will blink for approximately 1 mi-
nute and then remain continuously illumina-
ted.
The  warning  lamp  will  issue  further  warn-
ings each time the engine is restarted as long
as the malfunction exists.
Check to see whether the warning lamp goes
off after few minutes driving.
If it then goes off during driving, there is no
problem.
However,  if  the  warning  lamp  does  not  go
off,  or  if  it  blinks  again  when  the  engine  is
restarted,  have  the  vehicle  inspected  by  a
MITSUBISHI  MOTORS  Authorized  Serv-
ice Point.
In  such  situations,  a  malfunctioning  of  the
system may be preventing the monitoring of
the  tyre  pressure.  For  safety  reasons,  when
the  warning  lamp  appears  while  driving,
avoid  sudden  braking,  sharp  turning  and
high-speed driving.

NOTE

In addition, the warning display will be dis-
played on the information screen in the mul-
ti-information display.

OGAE18E1

Starting and driving

NOTE

Type 1

Type 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  vehicle
has tyres of a different size than the size indi-
cated on the tyre inflation pressure label, you
should  determine  the  proper  tyre  inflation
pressure 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  check
your  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  the
level 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  inflation
pressure  as  soon  as  possible.  Adjust  the
spare  tyre  at  the  same  time.  Refer  to
“Tyres” on page 10-13

NOTE

In addition, the warning display will be dis-
played on the information screen in the mul-
ti-information display.

Starting and driving

NOTE

When inspecting or adjusting the tyre pres-
sure, do not apply excessive force to the
valve stem to avoid breakage.

After inspecting or adjusting the tyre pres-
sure, always reinstall the valve cap on the
valve stem.
Without the valve cap, dirt or moisture could
get into the valve, resulting in damage to the
tyre inflation pressure sensor.

Do not use metal valve caps, which may
cause a metal reaction, resulting in corrosion
and damage of the tyre inflation pressure
sensors.

Once adjustments have been made, the
warning lamp will go off after a few minutes
of driving.

2. If the warning lamp remains illuminated

after you have been driving for about 10
minutes  after  you  adjust  the  tyre  infla-
tion  pressure,  one  or  more  of  the  tyres
may  have  a  puncture.  Inspect  the  tyre
and if it has a puncture, have it repaired
by  a  MITSUBISHI  MOTORS  Author-
ized Service Point as soon as possible.

WARNING

If  the  warning  lamp/display  illuminates
while  you  are  driving,  avoid  hard  brak-
ing,  sharp  steering  manoeuvres  and  high
speeds.
Driving  with  an  under-inflated  tyre  ad-
versely  affects  vehicle  performance  and
can result in an accident.

CAUTION

The warning lamp/display may not illumi-
nate immediately in the event of a tyre blow-
out or rapid leak.

NOTE

To avoid the risk of damage to the tyre infla-
tion  pressure  sensors,  have  any  punctured
tyre  repaired  by  a  MITSUBISHI  MOTORS
Authorized Service Point. If the tyre repair is
not done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized  Service  Point,  damage  to  the  tyre
inflation  pressure  sensor  is  not  covered  by
your warranty.

Do not use an aerosol puncture-repair spray
on any tyre.
Such a spray could damage the tyre inflation
pressure sensors.
Have any puncture repaired by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.

NOTE

Using the tyre repair kit may damage the
tyre inflation pressure sensor. The vehicle
must promptly be inspected and repaired by
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.

The tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
may not work normally in the following cir-
cumstances:

A wireless facility or device using the
same frequency is near the vehicle.

Snow or ice is stuck inside the fenders
and/or on the wheels.

The tyre inflation pressure sensor’s bat-
tery is dead.

Wheels other than MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE wheels are being
used.

Wheels that are not fitted with tyre infla-
tion pressure sensors are being used.

Wheels whose ID codes are not memo-
rized by the vehicle are used.

A window tint that affects the radio
wave signals is installed.

Tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)*

OGAE18E1

Starting and driving

NOTE

Tyre 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, adjust
the 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.

CAUTION

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.

Reversing sensor system*

E00615500345

This system operates when you are backing
the vehicle. It uses corner and back sensors to
detect an obstacle and the information screen
in the multi-information display and the buz-
zer to inform you of the approximate distance
to the obstacle.

CAUTION

The  reversing  sensor  system  assists  you  in
determining  the  approximate  distance  be-
tween  the  vehicle  and  an  obstacle  located
behind the vehicle. It has limitations in terms
of detectable areas and objects, and may not
properly  detect  some  objects.  Therefore,  do
not place excessive confidence in the revers-
ing sensor system and operate the vehicle as
carefully as you would do with a vehicle not
equipped with this system.

CAUTION

Make sure to check the surroundings with
your own eyes to ensure safety. Do not oper-
ate the vehicle by relying on the reversing
sensor system alone.

Obstacle detection areas

E00615601848

The  detection  areas  of  the  corner  and  back
sensors  are  limited  to  those  shown  in  the  il-
lustration.  Moreover,  the  sensors  are  unable
to  detect  low  or  thin  objects  or  objects  near
the  rear  bumper.  Thus,  make  sure  to  check
the surroundings as you operate the vehicle in
a safe manner.

Corner and back sensor loca-

tions

There are two corner sensors (A) at the cor-
ners of the rear bumper, and two back sensors
(B) in the centre of the rear bumper.

Reversing sensor system detec-

tion areas

Depending  on  whether  the  vehicle  is  equip-
ped with a towing bar, you can change the re-
versing  sensor  system  between  the  standard
mode  and  the  towing  bar  mode.  The  towing
bar  mode  changes  the  system  to  exclude  the
area in which the towing bar is mounted from
the detection areas.

Vehicles without a towing bar
The detection areas are within approximately
60  cm  (A)  from  the  corner  sensors,  150  cm
(B) from the back sensors, and 60 cm (C) or
less  from  the  ground  surface,  excluding  the
area  approximately  10  cm  (D)  from  the
ground surface.

Vehicles with a towing bar
The detection areas are within approximately
60  cm  (A)  from  the  corner  sensors,  150  cm
(B) from the back sensors, and 60 cm (C) or
less  from  the  ground  surface,  excluding  the
area  approximately  10  cm  (D)  from  the
ground  surface.  The  non-detection  areas  (E)
are within approximately 20 cm (F) from the
bumper.

NOTE

If  the  rear  bumper  has  been  exposed  to  an
impact,  the  corner  or  back  sensors  may  fail
and  prevent  the  system  from  functioning
properly.  Have  the  vehicle  inspected  at  a
MITSUBISHI  MOTORS  Authorized  Serv-
ice Point.

NOTE

The 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.

CAUTION

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 cold
weather).

•

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 accessories
have been attached.

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.

NOTE

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 the
noise is no longer received.

In the following situations, the screen indi-
cation may be difficult to see. There is no
abnormality.

•

Low light (nighttime).

•

When the light of the sun or the light from
a vehicle’s headlamps shines directly into
the lens.

If the camera is hot and is then cooled by
rain or a car wash, the lens can mist up. This
phenomenon does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.

It is not possible to fully see obstacles when
the lens is dirty. If the lens becomes conta-
minated by water droplets, snow, mud or oil,
wipe off the contamination, taking care not
to scratch the lens.

Please observe the following cautions. Ig-
noring them could lead to a camera malfunc-
tion.

Cargo loads

E00609901383

Cargo loads precautions

CAUTION

Do not load cargo or luggage higher than the
top of the seatback. Be sure that your cargo
or luggage cannot move once your vehicle is
moving. Having the driver’s vision blocked,
and your cargo being thrown inside the cab-
in if you suddenly have to brake can cause a
serious accident or injury.

CAUTION

Load heavy cargo or luggage in the front of
the vehicle. If the load in the back of the ve-
hicle is too heavy, steering may become un-
stable.

Loading a roof carrier

CAUTION

Use a roof carrier that properly fits your ve-
hicle. Do not load luggage directly onto the
roof. For installation, refer to the instruction
manual accompanying the roof carrier.

When attaching/removing the roof carrier
and loading/removing luggage, do not apply
excessive pressure on a single point.
Depending on how and where the force is
applied, this may cause dents on the vehicle
roof.

NOTE

We  recommend  you  to  use  a  genuine
MITSUBISHI  roof  carrier,  since  the  brack-
ets to be used have a special shape.
For details, we recommend you to consult a
MITSUBISHI  MOTORS  Authorized  Serv-
ice Point.

When installing the roof carrier, use the
brackets (A).
The brackets (A) are located under each cov-
er (B).

Refitting the covers

1. With each cover, put the tabs (C) on the

cover in the holes (D) in the roof.

2. Slide the cover (B) towards the rear of

the vehicle to install it.

Roof carrier precaution

CAUTION

Make  sure  that  the  weight  of  the  luggage
does not exceed the allowable roof load.
If  the  allowable  roof  load  is  exceeded,  this
may cause damage to the vehicle.
The roof load is the total allowable load on
the  roof  (the  weight  of  the  roof  carrier  plus
the weight of luggage placed on the roof car-
rier).
For  the  specific  value,  refer  to  “Maximum
roof load” on page 11-07.

CAUTION

When  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.

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.

NOTE

To prevent wind noise or reduction in fuel
economy, remove the roof carrier when not
in use.

Remove the roof carrier before using an au-
tomatic car wash.

Be sure that adequate clearance is main-
tained for raising the tailgate when installing
a roof carrier.

Trailer towing

E00610001948

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.

CAUTION

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.

Operating hints

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.

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).

To prevent shocks from the overrun
brake, depress the brake pedal lightly at
first and then more strongly.

To make full use of engine braking,
change to a lower shift point before de-
scending a slope.

Starting and driving

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.

CAUTION

If the engine overheats, please refer to the
“Engine overheating” section of “For emer-
gencies” prior to taking any corrective ac-
tion.

CAUTION

On vehicles equipped with A/T, CVT, if the

warning display is showing, the tempera-

ture of the A/T fluid, CVT fluid is high.
Read  the  reference  page  and  take  the  re-
quired measures.
Read  the  reference  page  and  take  the  re-
quired measures.
Refer to “When a malfunction occurs in the
A/T”  on  page  6-30,  “When  a  malfunction
occurs in the CVT” on page 6-37.
