engine MITSUBISHI ASX 2015 Owner's Manual (in English)

lUse engine oil conforming to the follow-
ing classification: • ACEA classification: “For service C1, C2, C3 or C4”
• JASO classification: “For service DL-1”

If those classifications are not available,
contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.NOTEl Use of additives is not recommended since
they may reduce the effectiveness of addi-
tives already included in the engine oil. It may result in failure of the mechanical as-
sembly.Engine coolant
E01000503437
To check the coolant level
A transparent coolant reserve tank (A) is lo-cated in the engine compartment.
The coolant level in this tank should be kept
between the “LOW” and “FULL” marks when measured while the engine is cold.To add coolant
The cooling system is a closed system andnormally the loss of coolant should be very
slight. A noticeable drop in the coolant level
could indicate leakage. If this occurs, we rec- ommend you to have the system checked as
soon as possible.
If the level should drop below the “LOW” level on the reserve tank, open the lid and
add coolant.
Also, if the reserve tank is completely empty, remove the radiator cap (B) and add coolant until the level reaches the filler neck.
WARNINGl Do not open the radiator cap (B) while the
engine is hot. The coolant system is under
pressure and any hot coolant escaping
could cause severe burns.
Anti-freeze
The engine coolant contains an ethylene gly-
col anti-corrosion agent. Some parts of the engine are cast aluminium alloy, and periodic
changing of the engine coolant is necessary to prevent corrosion of these parts.

Except for diesel-powered 1600models
Use “ MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
SUPER LONG LIFE COOLANT PREMI-
UM” or equivalent*.
*: similar high quality ethylene glycol based
non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrate and non- borate coolant with long life hybrid organic acid technology.

MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE Coolant
has excellent protection against corrosion and rust formation of all metals including alumi-
nium and can avoid blockages in the radiator,
heater, cylinder head, engine block, etc.
Diesel-powered 1600 models
Use “ALTECO Freecor DSC, BASF Glysan- tin Alu Protect Premium/G30 or G33, or Bru-
garolas Bradol 497”.

This coolant has excellent protection against
corrosion and rust formation of all metals in-
cluding aluminium and can avoid clogs in the
radiator, heater, cylinder head, engine block,
etc.
Because of the necessity of this anti-corro-
sion agent, the coolant must not be replaced with plain water even in summer.
Because of the necessity of this anti-corro-
sion agent, the coolant must not be replaced with plain water even in summer. The re-
quired concentration of anti-freeze differs de-
pending on the expected ambient tempera- ture.

Above -35 °C: 50 % concentration of anti-
freeze
Below -35 °C: 60 % concentration of anti-
freezeCAUTIONl Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze
or any engine coolants mixed with alcohol or methanol anti-freeze. The use of an im-
proper anti-freeze can cause corrosion of the aluminium components.
l Do not use water to adjust the concentration
of coolant.
l Concentrations exceeding 60 % will result in
a reduction of both the anti-freeze and cool-
ing performance thus adversely affecting the engine.
l Do not top up with water only.
Water by itself reduces the rust-protective
and anti-freeze qualities of the coolant and has a lower boiling point. It can also causedamage to the cooling system if it should freeze. Do not use tapwater, as it can causecorrosion and rust formation.During cold weather
If the temperatures in your area drop below
freezing, there is the danger that the coolant
in the engine or radiator could freeze and cause severe damage to the engine and/or ra-diator. Add a sufficient amount of anti-freeze
to the coolant to prevent it from freezing. The concentration should be checked before the start of cold weather and anti-freeze add- ed to the system if necessary.

Open the washer fluid reservoir cap andcheck the level of washer fluid with the dip- stick.
If the level is low, replenish the container with washer fluid.

Fuel, engine coolant, oil and ex- haust gas leakage
Look under the body of your vehicle to check
for fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust gas
leaks.
WARNINGl 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 10-20 and “Re-
placement of lamp bulbs” on page 10-26.
If the fuses and bulbs are all OK, we recom-
mend you to have your vehicle checked and
repaired.
Meter, gauge and indicator/warning lamps operation
Start the engine and check the operation of all instruments, gauges and indication andwarning lamps.
If there is anything wrong, we recommend you to have your vehicle inspected.
Hinges and latches lubrication
Check all latches and hinges, and, if necessa- 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 10-22.

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.Fuses

Fuse block location
To prevent damage to the electrical systemdue to shortcircuiting or overloading, each in-
dividual circuit is provided with a fuse.
There are fuse blocks in the passenger com-
partment and in the engine compartment.
Passenger compartment (LHD
vehicles)
The fuse blocks in the passenger compart- ment are located behind the fuse lid in front
of the driver’s seat at the position shown in the illustration.
A- Main fuse block B- Sub fuse block
1. Insert a straight blade (or minus) screw-
driver into the notch of the fuse lid and pry gently to remove it.
2. To put back the fuse lid, line up the fuse
lid hook (A) with the clamp (B) on the
instrument panel and push the lid back in.

1. Before replacing a fuse, always turn off
the electrical circuit concerned and turn
the ignition switch to the “LOCK” posi-
tion or put the operation mode in OFF.
2. Remove the fuse puller (A) from the in-
side of the fuse box in the engine com-
partment.
3. Referring to the fuse load capacity table,
check the fuse pertaining to the problem.
B- Fuse is OK
C- Blown fuse
NOTEl If any system does not function but the fuse
corresponding to that system is normal, theremay be a fault in the system elsewhere. We recommend you to have your vehiclechecked.
4. Use the fuse puller to insert a new fuse
with the same capacity. Make sure you
insert the fuse into the same location in
the fuse block.
