Mitsubishi ASX 2019

CAUTION
l
Always use tyres of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no
wear differences. Using tyres of different
size, type, brands or degree of wear, will in-
crease the differential oil temperature, result-
ing in possible damage to the driving sys-
tem. Further, the drive train will be subjected
to excessive loading possibly leading to oil
leakage, component seizure, or other serious
faults.
Towing
CAUTION
l
Do not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with the
front or rear wheels on the ground (Type A
or Type B) as illustrated. This could result in
damage to the drivetrain, or unstable towing.
If you tow 4-wheel drive vehicles, use Type
C or Type D equipment.
l
Even in “2WD” drive mode, the vehicle can-
not be towed with the front or the rear
wheels on the ground.
Jacking up a 4-wheel drive ve-
hicle
WARNING
l
Do not crank the engine while the vehicle
is jacked up.
The tyre on the ground may turn and the
vehicle may roll off the jack.
Braking
All the parts of the brake system are critical
to safety. We recommend you to have the ve-
hicle checked at regular intervals according
to the service booklet.
CAUTION
l
Avoid driving habits that cause heavy brak-
ing and never “ride” the brakes by resting
your foot on the brake pedal while driving.
It causes brake overheating and fade.
Brake system
The service brake is divided into two brake
circuits. And your vehicle is equipped with
power brakes. If one brake circuit fails, the
other is available to stop the vehicle. If you
should lose the power assist for some reason,
the brakes will still work. In these situations,
even if the brake pedal moves down to the
very end of its possible stroke or resists being
depressed, keep depressing the brake pedal
down harder and further than usual; stop
driving as soon as possible and have the
brake system repaired.
WARNING
l
Do not turn off the engine while your ve-
hicle is in motion. If you turn off the en-
gine while driving, the power assistance
for the braking system will stop working
and your brakes will not work effectively.
l
If the power assist is lost or if either brake
hydraulic system stops working properly,
have your vehicle checked immediately.
