Mitsubishi ASX (2018 year). Instruction

Check the tyre inflation pressure of all the tyres while they are cold; if insufficient or excessive, adjust to the specified value.
After the tyre inflation pressure has been adjusted, check the tyres for damage and air leaks. Be sure to put caps on the valves.

Wheel condition

E01001800885

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.

CAUTION

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

CAUTION

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.

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.

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.

Tyre rotation

E01001901317

Tyre  wear  varies  with  vehicle  conditions,
road  surface  conditions  and  individual  driv-
er’s driving habits. To equalize the wear and
help extend tyre life, it is recommended to ro-
tate  the  tyres  immediately  after  discovery  of
abnormal wear, or whenever the wear differ-
ence between the front and rear tyres is rec-
ognizable.

When  rotating  tyres,  check  for  uneven  wear
and  damage.  Abnormal  wear  is  usually
caused  by  incorrect  tyre  pressure,  improper
wheel alignment, out of balance wheel, or se-
vere braking. We recommend you to have it
checked  to  determine  the  cause  of  irregular
tread wear.

Spare tyre used

Spare tyre not used

Tyres that have arrows showing rotation direction

Front

*- If the spare tyre wheel differs from the
standard tyre wheel, do not perform tyre rota-
tion using a spare wheel.

CAUTION

A temporary spare tyre can be fitted tempo-
rarily in place of a tyre that has been re-
moved during the tyre rotation. However, it
must not be included in the regular tyre rota-
tion sequence.

If  the  tyres  have  arrows  (A)  indicating  the
correct  direction  of  rotation,  swap  the  front
and rear tyres on the left-hand side of the ve-
hicle  and  the  front  and  rear  tyres  on  the
right-hand  side  of  the  vehicle  separately.
Keep each tyre on its original side of the ve-
hicle.  When  fitting  the  tyres,  make  sure  the
arrows  point  in  the  direction  in  which  the
wheels  will  turn  when  the  vehicle  moves
forward. Any tyre whose arrow points in the
wrong  direction  will  not  perform  to  its  full
potential.

CAUTION

Avoid the combined use of different types of
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.

CAUTION

Observe permissible maximum speed for
your snow tyres and the legal speed limit.

NOTE

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.

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.

CAUTION

Practice fitting the chains before you need
them. Don’t expect help from other people
in the cold.

Choose a clear straight stretch of road where
you can pull over and still be seen while you
are fitting the chains.

Do not fit chains before you need them. This
will wear out your tyres and the road sur-
face.

After driving around 100-300 metres, stop
and retighten the chains.

Drive cautiously and do not exceed 50 km/h
(30 mph).
Remember that preventing accidents is not
the purpose of tyre chains.

When tyre chains are installed, take care that
they do not damage the disc wheel or body.

Maintenance

CAUTION

Do not install a tyre chain on an emergency
wheel which is compact in size. If one of the
front wheels has punctured, replace it with
one of the rear wheels and install the tempo-
rary spare wheel in that place before fitting a
tyre chain.

An aluminium wheel can be damaged by a
tyre chain while driving. When fitting a tyre
chain on an aluminium wheel, take care that
any part of the chain and fitting cannot be
brought into contact with the wheel.

Remove the wheel covers before installing a
tyre chain, otherwise they may be damaged
by the tyre chain. (See page 8-20.)

When installing or removing the tyre chains,
take care that hands and other parts of your
body are not injured by the sharp edges of
the vehicle body.

NOTE

The laws and regulations concerning the use
of tyre chains vary. Always follow local
laws and regulations.
In most countries, it is prohibited by law to
use tyre chains on roads without snow.

haust gas leakage

Look under the body of your vehicle to check
for fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust gas
leaks.

WARNING

If you see a suspicious fuel leak or if you
smell fuel, do not operate the vehicle; call
your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point for assistance.

Exterior and interior lamp op-

eration

Operate  the  combination  lamp  switch  to
check that all lamps are functioning properly.
If  the  lamps  do  not  illuminate,  the  probable
cause is a blown fuse or defective lamp bulb.
Check  the  fuses  first.  If  there  is  no  blown
fuse, check the lamp bulbs.
For information regarding the inspection and
replacement of the fuses and the lamp bulbs,
refer  to  “Fuses”  on  page  10-19  and  “Re-

ry, have them lubricated.

For cold and snowy weather

E01002800361

Ventilation slots

The  ventilation  slots  in  front  of  the  wind-
screen  should  be  kept  clear  of  leaves  or
brushed  clear  after  heavy  snowfall,  so  that
the  operation  of  the  heating  and  ventilation
systems will not be impaired.

Weatherstripping

To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping
on the doors, bonnet, etc., they should be
treated with silicone grease.

Additional equipment

It is a good idea to carry a shovel or a short-
handled spade in the vehicle during the win-
ter so that you can clear away snow if you get
stranded. A small hand-brush for sweeping
snow off the vehicle and a plastic scraper for
the windscreen and rear window are also use-
ful.

Fusible links

E01002900564

The fusible links will melt to prevent a fire if
a large current attempts to flow through cer-
tain electrical systems.
In case of a melted fusible link, we recom-
mend you to have your vehicle inspected.
For the fusible links, please refer to “Fuse
load capacity” on page 10-21.

WARNING

Fusible links must not be replaced by any
other device. Failing to fit the correct fusi-
ble link may result in fire in the vehicle,
property destruction and serious or fatal
injuries at any time.

Replacement of lamp bulbs

E01003102248

Before  replacing  a  bulb,  ensure  the  lamp  is
off.  Do  not  touch  the  glass  part  of  the  new
bulb  with  your  bare  fingers;  the  skin  oil  left
on  the  glass  will  evaporate  when  the  bulb
gets hot and the vapour will condense on the
reflector and dim the surface.

CAUTION

Bulbs  are  extremely  hot  immediately  after
being turned off.
When  replacing  a  bulb,  wait  for  it  to  cool
sufficiently  before  touching  it.  You  could
otherwise be burnt.

Do not install commercially available LED-
type bulbs.
Commercially  available  LED-type  bulbs
could  adversely  affect  the  operation  of  the
vehicle, such as by preventing the lamps and
other  vehicle  equipment  from  operating
properly.

NOTE

If you are unsure of how to carry out the
work as required, we recommend you to
consult a specialist.

Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body
when removing a lamp or lens.

When it rains or when the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes be-
comes foggy. This is the same phenomenon
as when window glass mists up on a humid
day, and does not indicate a functional prob-
lem.
When the lamp is switched on, the heat will
remove the fog. However, if water gathers
inside the lamp, we recommend you to have
the lamp checked.

Bulb location and capacity

E01003201574

CAUTION

When replacing a bulb, be sure to use a new
bulb of the same type, wattage and colour. If
you install a different bulb, the bulb could
