MITSUBISHI ASX 2019 Owner's Manual (in English)

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 thebumper.
NOTEz If the rear bumper has been exposed to an
impact, the corner or back sensors may failand prevent the system from functioning
properly. Have the vehicle inspected at a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.NOTEz 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 6-73.
CAUT,ONz The reversing sensor system may not operate
properly under the following conditions:

ence only, as errors may be caused by vari- ous factors, such as temperature, humidity,
or the shape of the obstacles.NOTEz When the sensors detect different obstacles
at the same time, the information screen inthe multi-information display indicates the directions of the obstacles each sensor is de-
tecting. However, closer obstacles are given priority over other detected obstacles and the
warning buzzer sounds to inform you of
closer obstacles.Changing the detection areas
The detection areas can be changed as fol-
lows:
Vehicles with a towing bar
While the operation of the system is stopped
at the “SONAR” switch, push the “SONAR”
switch approximately 3 seconds or more, and release it. The buzzer sounds twice to indi-cate that the detection area has been changed.
Vehicles without a towing bar
While the operation of the system is stopped
at the “SONAR” switch, push the “SONAR”
switch approximately 3 seconds or more, and
release it. The buzzer sounds once to indicate that the detection area has been changed.
NOTEz The detection area will not change if you
keep the “SONAR” switch pushed for
10 seconds or more.
z After pushing the “SONAR” switch, revers-
ing sensor system operation differs accord- ing to the detection area setting.

Reversing sensor system warn-ing display
In case there is a malfunction in the reversing sensor system, the display for the malfunc-
tioning sensor will blink and the warning
buzzer will sound for approximately 5 sec-
onds. Even after the buzzer has stopped sounding, the display will continue blinking
until the system reverts to the normal state. Have the vehicle inspected at aMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
Rear-view camera*
The rear-view camera is a system that shows
the view behind the vehicle on the screen of the MITSUBISHI Multi-Communication
System (MMCS), the DISPLAY AUDIO or the Smartphone Link Display Audio.
CAUT,ONz The rear-view camera is an assistance sys-
tem that enables the driver to check for ob- stacles behind the vehicle. Its range of view
is limited, so you should not overly depend on it. Please drive just as carefully as you
would if the vehicle did not have the rear-
view camera.
z Be sure to visually confirm safety around the
vehicle with your own eyes. Do not depend entirely on the rear-view camera.
Range of view of rear-view
camera
The range of view of the rear-view camera is limited to the area shown in the illustrations.
It cannot show both sides and the lower part of the rear bumper, etc.
When reversing, be sure to visually confirm
safety around the vehicle.
Location of rear-view camera
The rear-view camera (A) is integrated into
the part near the tailgate handle.

How to use the rear-view cam-era
When you place the gearshift lever or selec- tor lever in the “R” position with the ignition
switch or the operation mode in ON, the view behind the vehicle will automatically appear
on the screen of the MITSUBISHI Multi-
Communication System (MMCS), the DIS- PLAY AUDIO or the Smartphone Link Dis-
play Audio. When you move the gearshift lever or the selector lever to any other posi-
tion, the screen will return to its original indi- cation.
CAUT,ONz The rear-view camera has a special lens that
can make objects shown on the screen ap- pear to be closer or further away than they
actually are.NOTEz Because the rear-view camera has a special
lens, the lines on the ground between park-
ing spaces may not look parallel on the screen.
z In the following situations, the screen indi-
cation may be difficult to see. There is no abnormality.

NOTEand positioning of luggage, and/or the condi-tion of the road surface, the lines in the view from the rear-view camera may not be accu-
rately positioned relative to the actual road.
The reference lines for distance and vehicle
width are based on a level, flat road surface. In the following cases, objects shown on the
screen will appear to be farther off than they actually are.

Loading a roof carrierCAUT,ONzUse 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.
z 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.NOTEz 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.Roof carrier mounting brack-
ets*Type 1
When installing the roof carrier, use the brackets (A).
The brackets (A) are located under each cov-
er (B).
Attaching the roof carrier
Slide each cover (B) towards the front of the
vehicle to remove it.
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.Type 2
When installing the roof carrier, use the brackets (A).
The brackets (A) are located under each roof
drip moulding (B).
Cargo loads
6-772*$((Starting and driving6

Roof carrier precautionsCAUT,ONzMake 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 11-06.
z 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

Operating hints
z 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.
z 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).
z To prevent shocks from the overrun
brake, depress the brake pedal lightly at first and then more strongly.
z To make full use of engine braking,
change to a lower shift point before de- scending a slope.

Additional precautions for vehi-
cles equipped with a 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.
CAUT,ONz If the engine overheats, please refer to the
“Engine overheating” section of “For emer-
gencies” prior to taking any corrective ac-
tion.CAUT,ONz On vehicles equipped with CVT, if the warning display is showing, the temperature
of the CVT fluid is high.
Read the reference page and take the re- quired measures.
Refer to “When a malfunction occurs in the
CVT” on page 6-25.
