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

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

on page 3-13.
[Except vehicles equipped with keyless oper-

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-
