Stopping The Engine - Mitsubishi ASX 2016 Owner's Manual

3. If the engine still will not start, the en-
gine could be flooded with too much
petrol. While depressing the brake pedal
(CVT) or the clutch pedal (M/T), push
the accelerator pedal all the way down
and hold it there, then press the engine
switch to crank the engine. If the engine
does not start after 5 to 6 seconds, push
the engine switch to stop cranking the
engine, and release the accelerator pedal.
Put the operation mode in OFF. Wait a
few seconds, and then press the engine
switch to crank the engine again while
depressing the brake pedal (CVT) or the
clutch pedal (M/T), but do not push the
accelerator pedal. If the engine fails to
start, repeat these procedures. If the en-
gine still will not start, we recommend
you to have the vehicle checked.
Starting the engine (diesel-pow-
ered vehicles)
1. Fasten the seat belt.
2. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
3. Press and hold the brake pedal down
firmly with your right foot.
NOTE
l After the engine has not started for a while,
the brake pedal effort needed to start the en-
gine may become greater.
If this occurs, depress the brake pedal more
firmly than usual.
4. Fully depress and hold the clutch pedal
(M/T).
5. On vehicles equipped with M/T, place
the gearshift lever in the "N" (Neutral)
position.
On vehicles equipped with A/T, make
sure the selector lever is in the "P"
(PARK) position.

NOTE
If the engine is cold, the diesel preheat indi-
cation lamp is on for a longer time.
Putting the operation mode in ON will also
start preheating the engine. When the engine
has not been started within about 5 seconds
after the diesel preheat indication lamp went
out, put the operation mode in OFF. Then,
attempt the engine start procedure to preheat
the engine again.
Minor noises may be heard on engine start-
up. These will disappear as the engine
warms up.
WARNING
Do not operate the engine switch while
driving except in an emergency. If the en-
gine is stopped while driving, the brake
servomechanism will cease to function
and braking efficiency will deteriorate.
Also, the power steering system will not
function and it will require greater man-
ual effort to operate the steering. This
could result in a serious accident.
