coolant temperature MITSUBISHI ASX 2014 Owner's Manual (in English)

NOTElOn vehicles with the Auto Stop & Go
(AS&G) system, the starter will not operate
unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed
(Clutch interlock).
5. On vehicles equipped with M/T, place
the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position.
On vehicles equipped with A/T, make
sure the selector lever is in the “P”
(PARK) position.
6. Press the engine switch. The diesel preheat indication lamp willfirst illuminate, and then after a short
time go out, indicating that preheating is completed. The engine will start.
NOTEl If the engine is cold, the diesel preheat indi-
cation lamp is on for a longer time.
l Putting the operation mode in ON will also
start preheating the engine. When the engine
has not been started within about 5 seconds after the diesel preheat indication lamp went
out, put the operation mode in OFF. Then, attempt the engine start procedure to preheatthe engine again.
l Minor noises may be heard on engine start-
up. These will disappear as the engine
warms up.
Using the MIVEC engine*
The MIVEC engine automatically switches
its intake-valve control between a low-speed mode and a high-speed mode in accordancewith driving conditions for maximum engine
performance.
NOTEl To protect the engine, the high-speed mode
may not be selected while the engine coolanttemperature is low.Stopping the engine
E00312601118WARNINGl Do not operate the engine switch while
driving except in an emergency. If the en-
gine is stopped while driving, the brake servomechanism will cease to function
and braking efficiency will deteriorate. Also, the power steering system will notfunction and it will require greater man-
ual effort to operate the steering. This
could result in a serious accident.NOTEl If you have to bring the engine to an emer-
gency stop while driving, press and hold the engine switch for 3 seconds or more, or
press it quickly 3 times or more. The engine will stop and the operation mode will go to ACC.
l Do not stop the engine with the selector lev-
er in any position other than the “P” (PARK) position (A/T or CVT ). If the engine is stop-
ped with the selector lever in any position
other than the “P” (PARK) position, the op- eration mode will go to ACC rather thanOFF.
Put the operation mode in OFF after placing the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) posi-
tion.
1. Stop the vehicle.

the fuel consumption data. This may vary depending on the driving conditions and habits. Treat the distance displayed as just a
rough guideline.
l When you refuel, the driving range display
is updated.
However, if you only add a small amount of
fuel, the correct value will not be displayed.
Fill with a full tank whenever possible.
l On rare occasions, the value displayed for
the driving range may change if you areparked on an extremely steep incline. This is
due to the movement of fuel in the tank and
does not indicate a malfunction.

NOTElFor diesel-powered vehicles, if the tempera-
ture inside the engine compartment is high,
the cooling fans (A) will continue to operate for some time even if the engine is stopped.
Therefore, the operation sound of the cool-
ing fans may be heard even after the engine is stopped. This sound is normal and does
not indicate a malfunction.
After operating for a period of time, the cooling fans will stop automatically.

NOTEl To protect the engine, the high-speed mode

process (diesel-powered vehi- cles)
E00627900043
To keep exhaust emissions and engine noise low, the engine very occasionally performs a
learning process for the fuel injection
amount.
The engine sounds slightly different from
usual while the learning process is taking place. The change in the engine sound does
not indicate a fault.
Diesel particulate filter
(DPF)* E00619800245
The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a devicethat captures most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust emissions of the diesel engine. The DPF automatically burns away trapped PM during vehicle operation. Under
certain driving conditions, however, the DPF is not able to burn away all of the trapped PM
and, as a result, an excessive amount of PM accumulates inside it.
WARNINGl The DPF reaches very high temperatures.
Do not park your vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry grass
or leaves can come in contact with a hot exhaust system since a fire could occur.CAUTIONl Do not use any type of fuel or engine oil that
is not specified for your vehicle. Also, do not use any moisture-removing agent or oth-
er fuel additive. Such substances could have a detrimental effect on the DPF.
Refer to “Fuel selection” on page 2-02 and
“Engine oil” on page 10-04.NOTEl To minimize the likelihood of excessive ac-
cumulation of PM, try to avoid driving for long periods at low speeds and repeatedly
driving short distances.
l The engine sounds slightly different from
usual while the DPF automatically burns
away trapped PM. The change in the engine
sound does not indicate a fault.

DPF warning displayType 1
Type 2
The DPF warning display illuminates in the
event of an abnormality in the DPF system.
If the DPF warning display il-luminates during vehicle oper-ation
Steady illumination of the DPF warning dis- play shows that the DPF has not been able to
burn away all of the trapped PM and that, as
a result, an excessive amount of PM has ac- cumulated inside it. To enable the DPF toburn away the PM, try to drive the vehicle as
follows:
l With the bar graph of engine coolant
temperature display stabilized in roughly
the middle of the scale, drive for about 20 minutes at a speed of at least 40 km/h
(25 mph).
If the DPF warning display subsequently stays on, contact your MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.CAUTIONl You do not have to continuously drive ex-
actly as indicated above. Always strive to drive safely in accordance with road condi- tions.If the DPF warning display and
