Braking - Mitsubishi ASX 2016 Owner's Manual

Braking

Pay close attention to the tyres.
l Install only the specified tyres on all
wheels. Refer to "Tyres and wheels" on
page 11-13.
l Be sure all 4 tyres and wheels are the
same size and type.
When it is necessary to replace any of
the tyres or wheels, replace all 4 tyres.
l All tyres should be rotated before the
6
wear difference between the front and
rear tyres is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expec-
ted if there is a difference in wear between
tyres. Refer to "Tyre rotation" on page 10-15.
l Check the tyre inflation pressure regular-
ly.
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 subjec-
ted to excessive loading possibly leading to
oil leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous 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.
Clutch operation
Quick or slight clutch engagement made
while the engine is running at high speed will
cause damage to the clutch and transmission
because the tractive force is very great.
Operate the pedal slowly and positively.
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.
