MITSUBISHI ASX 2020 Owner's Manual (in English)

CAUT,ONzUpon installation of the
T155/90D16 size
spare wheel, the ground clearance is reduced as the tyre is smaller in diameter than thestandard tyre.
When passing over the projections on the road, take care not to damage the vehicle

3.Rotate the jack by hand until the flange
portion (B) fits in the groove (C) at the
top of the jack.
4. Check that the flange portion at the jack-
ing point fits in the groove at the top of the jack.
Insert the jack bar (D) into the wheel nut
wrench (E).
Then put the end of the jack bar into the
shaft

:ARN,NGzBe sure to position the tyres the correct
way when putting them on the vehicle. The valves should be on the outer side of
the vehicle. If the valve (I) cannot be seen, the tyre has been mounted the wrong way
around.
If tyres are mounted the wrong way
around it could have a negative effect on the vehicle and cause an accident.
7. Turn the wheel nuts clockwise by hand
to initially tighten them.

[Vehicle with the tapered nuts@
Initially tighten the wheel nuts until the tapered part (A) of the nuts lightly
touches the wheel hole seats (B) enough
to keep the tyre from wobbling.
[Vehicle with the flange nuts@

8.Lower the vehicle slowly by rotating the
wheel nut wrench anticlockwise until the
tyre touches the ground.
9. Tighten the nuts in the order shown in
the illustration until each nut has been tightened to the torque listed here.

Tightening torque 88 to 108 Nm
(Achieved by applying force of 350 to
420 N at end of wheel nut wrench sup- plied with vehicle)CAUT,ONz 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 8-19.
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

flat tyre or spare wheel, fit the installa-
tion clamp (A) by turning it clockwise,
and then install the spare tyre pad (B).NOTEz On vehicles with a
T155/90D16 size spare
wheel, the clamp cannot be used for a nor- mal size tyre.
3. Have your damaged tyre repaired as
soon as possible.
To store the tools and jack
Reverse the removing procedure when stor-
ing the jack, jack bar and wheel nut wrench.

If your vehicle needs to be tow- ed
If you need to tow your vehicle, we recom-
mend that you contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or tow
truck company.

In the following cases, transport the vehicle
using a tow truck.
z The engine runs but the vehicle does not
move or abnormal noise is produced.
z Inspection of the vehicle

Towing the vehicle by a towtruckCAUT,ONz This vehicle must not be towed by a tow
truck using sling lift type equipment (Type A) as illustrated. Using a sling lift will dam-age the bumper and front end.
z Do not tow 2WD vehicles with CVT with
the driving wheels on the ground (Type B) as illustrated.
This could result in the driving system dam- age.
z Do not tow 4WD vehicles with the front or
rear wheels on the ground (Type B or Type
C) as illustrated. This could result in driving system damage or the vehicle may jump at
the carriage.
If you tow 4WD vehicles, use Type D or E
equipment.
z On 2WD vehicles, if the transmission is mal-
functioning or damaged, transport the vehi- cle with the driving wheels on a carriage (Type C, D or E) as illustrated.
z The 4WD vehicles cannot be towed with on-
ly the front or rear tyres on the ground even if they are in “2WD” drive mode.CAUT,ONz [For 2WD vehicles equipped with the Active
Stability Control (ASC)@
If the vehicle is towed with the ignition switch in the “ON” position or the operation
mode in ON and only the front wheels or on- ly the rear wheels raised off the ground
(Type B or C), the ASC may operate, result- ing in an accident.
When towing the vehicle with the rear wheels raised, turn the ignition switch to the“ACC” position or put the operation mode in
ACC.
When towing the vehicle with the front wheels raised, keep the ignition switch or the
operation mode as follows.
[Except vehicles equipped with keyless op- eration system@
The ignition switch is in the “LOCK” or
“ACC” position.
[Vehicles equipped with keyless operation system@
The operation mode is in OFF or ACC.
Towing with rear wheels off the
ground (Type B)
Place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral)
position.

with CVT, with this style.
Do not tow 4WD vehicles with this style.

Turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” posi-
tion or put the operation mode in ACC and secure the steering wheel in a straight-ahead
position with a rope or tie-down strap. Never place the ignition switch in the “LOCK” po-sition or put the operation mode in OFF when towing.
Towing with front wheels off the ground (Type C)
Release the parking brake.
Place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral)
position ( M/T) or the selector lever in the
“N” (Neutral) position (CVT).
Emergency towing
If towing service is not available in an emer- gency, your vehicle may be temporarily tow-
ed by a rope secured to the towing hook.
If your vehicle is to be towed by another ve- hicle or if your vehicle tows another vehicle,
pay careful attention to the following points:
If your vehicle is to be towed by
another vehicle
1. The front towing hook (A) is located as
shown in the illustration. Secure the tow rope to the front towing hook.
NOTEz Do not use the tie-down hooks (B) for tow-
ing. These hooks are provided only for thepurpose of transporting the vehicle itself.
Using any part other than the designated
towing hook (A) could result in damage to
the vehicle body.
z Using a wire rope, metal chain or towing bar
can result in damage to the vehicle body. It
is best to use a non-metallic rope. If you use a wire rope, metal chain or towing bar, wrapit with cloth at any point where it touches
the vehicle body.
z Take care that the tow rope is kept as hori-
zontal as possible. An angled tow rope can
damage the vehicle body.
2. Keep the engine running.
If the engine is not running, perform the
following operation to unlock the steer- ing wheel.
[Except vehicles equipped with keyless
operation system@
Turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” or “ON” position ( M/T) or “ON” position
(CVT).
[For vehicles with the keyless operation system@
Put the operation mode in ACC or ON
(M/T) or ON (CVT).NOTEz For vehicles equipped with the Auto Stop &
Go (AS&G) system, press the “AS&G OFF”switch to deactivate the AS&G system be-
fore stopping the vehicle.
Refer to “To deactivate” on page 6-20.:ARN,NGz When the engine is not running, the brake
booster and power steering system do not
operate. This means higher brake depres- sion force and higher steering effort arerequired. Therefore, vehicle operation is
more difficult than usual.CAUT,ONz Do not leave the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” position or the operation mode in
OFF. The steering wheel will lock, causing
loss of control.
Towing
8-222*$(20(1For emergencies8

CAUT,ONzFor vehicles equipped with the Forward Col-
lision Mitigation system (FCM), stop thesystem to prevent an unexpected accident or
unexpected operation during towing. Refer to “Forward Collision Mitigation sys-
tem (FCM)” on page 6-49.
3. Place the gearshift lever in the “N”
(Neutral) position ( M/T), or the selector
lever in the “N” (Neutral) position
(CVT).
4. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if re-
quired by law. (Follow the local driving
laws and regulations.)
5. During towing make sure that close con-
tact is maintained between the drivers of
both vehicles, and that the vehicles trav- el at low speed.
CAUT,ONz The person in the vehicle being towed must
pay attention to the brake lamps of the tow- ing vehicle and make sure the rope never be-comes slack.
z Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration
and sharp turning; such operation could cause damage to the towing hooks or the tow
rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured as a
result.CAUT,ONz When towing or being towed down a long
slope, the brakes may overheat reducing the effectiveness. In this situation, have your ve-hicle transported by a tow truck.
z When a vehicle equipped with CVT is to be
towed by another vehicle with all the wheels
on the ground, make sure that the towing speed and distance given below are never
exceeded, since this may cause damage to
the transmission.

Towing speed: 40 km/h (25 mph)
Towing distance: 40 km (25 miles)

For the towing speed and the towing dis- tance, follow the local driving laws and reg- ulations.If your vehicle tows another ve-
hicle
1. Take out the towing hook, wheel nut
wrench and jack bar.

driving conditions
On a flooded road
z Avoid flooded roads. Water could enter
the brake discs, resulting in temporarily ineffective brakes. In such cases, lightlydepress the brake pedal to see if the
brakes operate properly. If they do not, lightly depress the pedal several timeswhile driving in order to dry the brake
pads.
z 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
