MITSUBISHI ASX 2015 (in English) Owner's Guide

lUsing a cellular phone or radio set inside
the vehicle without an external antenna
may cause electrical system interference, which could lead to unsafe vehicle oper-ation.
l Tyres and wheels which do not meet
specifications must not be used.
Refer to the “Specifications” section for information regarding wheel and tyre
sizes.
Important points!
Due to large number of accessory and re-
placement parts of different manufactures available in the market, it is not possible, not
only for MITSUBISHI MOTORS , but also
for a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point, to check whether the attach- ment or installation of such parts affects the
overall safety of your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.

Even when such parts are officially author- ized, for example by a “general operators
permit” (an appraisal for the part) or throughthe execution of the part in an officially ap-
proved manner of construction, or when a single operation permit following the attach-
ment or installation of such parts, it cannot be
deduced from that alone, that the driving safety of your vehicle has not been affected.

Consider also that there basically exists no li-
ability on the part of the appraiser or the offi-
cial. Maximum safety can only be ensured
with parts recommended, sold and fitted or installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point ( MITSUBISHI
MOTORS genuine replacement parts and
MITSUBISHI MOTORS accessories). The
same also pertains to modifications of MITSUBISHI vehicles with respect to the
production specifications. For safety reasons, do not attempt any modifications other than
those that follow the recommendations of a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.Modification/alterations to

system* E00201500021This paragraph summarizes the major itemsof the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system
such as the characteristics, operating proce- dures, etc. For details, refer to “Auto Stop &
Go (AS&G) system” on page 6-19.

The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system re- duces the emission of exhaust gases and in- creases fuel efficiency.
The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system auto- matically stops and restarts the engine with-
out the use of the ignition switch or the en- gine switch when the vehicle is stopped, such
as at traffic lights or in a traffic jam.
Activation
E00201600051
The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system is auto- matically activated when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the opera-
tion mode is put in ON.

System characteristics
E00202300055
The principle of the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system is that it adapts to the vehi- cle’s needs (i.e. energy supply). This means
that in certain circumstances the engine will not stop and in other circumstances the en-
gine will restart by itself.

flight operation.
When carrying a key in a bag, be careful that no switches on the key can be easily
pressed by mistake.NOTEl The key number is stamped on the tag as in-
dicated in the illustration.
Make a record of the key number and store the key and key number tag in separate pla-
ces, so that you can order a key in the event the original keys are lost.
l The key is a precision electronic device with
a built-in signal transmitter. Please observe the following in order to prevent a malfunc-tion.
• Do not leave in a place that is exposed to
direct sunlight, for example on the dash- board.
• Do not disassemble or modify.
• Do not excessively bend the key or sub-
ject it to strong impacts.
• Do not expose to water.
• Keep away from magnetic key rings.
• Keep away from audio systems, personal
computers, TVs, and other equipment that generates a magnetic field.
• Keep away from devices that emit strong
electromagnetic waves, such as cellular phones, wireless devices and high fre-quency equipment (including medical de-
vices).
• Do not clean with ultrasonic cleaners or
similar equipment.
• Do not leave the key where it may be ex-
posed to high temperature or high humidi-ty.

[For vehicles equipped with keyless opera-tion system]
For information on operations for vehicles equipped with the keyless operation system,
refer to “Keyless operation system: Electron- ic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting system)”
on page 3-13.
[Except vehicles equipped with keyless oper-
ation system]
The electronic immobilizer is designed to significantly reduce the possibility of vehicle
theft. The purpose of the system is to immo-
bilize the vehicle if an invalid start is attemp-
ted. A valid start attempt can only be ach- ieved by using a key “registered” to the im-mobilizer system.NOTEl In the following cases, the vehicle may not
be able to receive the registered ID code from the registered key and the engine may
not start.
• When the key contacts a key ring or other
metallic or magnetic object.
• When the key grip contacts metal of an-
other key.
NOTE
• When the key contacts or is close to other
immobilizing keys (including keys of oth-er vehicles).
In cases like these, remove the object or additional key from the vehicle key. Then
try again to start the engine. If the engine
does not start, we recommend you to con-
