Mitsubishi ASX Questions & Answers (page 2 of 9)

Don't see why there should be 2x icons for the same feature

No. There is one icon to show the cruise control is turned on & one to show it is set at a chosen speed. This has been a common feature on most factory fitted cruise controls for some time now. It was there when I bought the car new.

Yes you can, We are on our second ASX and have changed the very quiet indicator sound on both to the optional setting which gives a louder ding dong sound which everyone hears. It can be set using the mode button as per instructions in the manual or ask you dealer to do it for you they should not charge for it, it is not difficult and you can't upset anything.

I find the louder tone is very irritating. Easy enough to change between the loud and soft settings as mentioned above through the mode button when car is stopped.

Speaker for the beeps should be in the front so I don't know why you are hearing it from the back, but the cause should display on the info screen. Will need more info to help.

Does it start or just 'click' like a flat battery?

My earlier model doesn't have auto lock, has a button on driver's door armrest to lock/unlock.

Could be the motor in the mirror or a loose wire especially if left one works

Thank you will check that out

Stays on for about 30 mins. Will have to push start button once to turn radio back on every 30 mins.

I know XA = Active Sports but i cant find what the XB is.
Could it be a more basic option?

Hi. You should be able to push the lining /cover back in place. Airbag is connected to sensors which deploy the airbag after registering an impact. Just don't use a hammer.

ASX has a timing chain. Under normal driving conditions, should not need replacement. If you drive like a maniac, you may need it checked for stretching. I would ask a reputable mechanic to check it after 5yrs or 150000km under normal operation to be safe, but it should last the life of the engine (+250000km)

Hi Jenni M. Read the following from another forum. Haven't tried it so I don't know if it works - no guarantee.

Put the operation mode in OFF.
Raise and hold the wiper and washer switch to the MIST position for about 3 seconds. The buzzer will sound once and the function will be deactivated.

To activate the function again, raise and hold the wiper and washer switch to the MIST position for about 3 seconds. The buzzer will sound twice and the function will be activated.
Don't pull the washer/wiper stalk. If this works, you may have to do this each time your switch the car off. I'll try it when I get back to my ASX.

Hi. As per my above answer.

Once paired on Bluetooth, it should display as long as Bluetooth is turned on, on the phone. I only use USB for a usb stick to play songs once usb is selected. If phone has paired, and you have selected phone on the audio system and nothing is there, something must be wrong.

Chain.

Hi. I had a similar problem with my 2014. I would set the tone to local, but whenever I parked off and returned to the car the time display would gain 2hrs. I would reset again but every time I started again, same problem. After about 3 weeks and numerous resets, I has almost given up but then miraculously it suddenly maintained the correct time.
I don't recall having done anything differently on the time settings, but it's been correct now for a lib time.
I was going to buy a dashboard clock off Wish as I find the time display too small (in normal mode), but haven't done so as it's now displaying the correct time.

Ok! I will try that! Hopefully mine will stick too. If not I'll just have to buy that dashboard clock. Thank you!

Hi. I haven't got a new ASX (2014), but I found the ride a bit floaty and twitchy at first. Got used to it and now I don't feel that the ride is bad. It's a crossover so the ride height is slightly higher that a normal sedan which may cause the float /body roll feel. If you came from a previous well sorted car, you may find that the old design ASX doesn't compare well. Check your tyre pressure and make sure that they are not too high. 2.2 kpa should be right.

Thanks John . I started out on 35 lowered to 28 now was told by dealer not to go lower but I want to I feel every bump hard when I drive alone when my husband is in the car in the passenger seat it’s ok because of the extra weight ? Still I am disappointed for a brand new car the bumps in the road are not absorbed well at all and saw as much on some reviews

The design of the ASX goes back many years, so it's not as modern in design as new cars. Old design has just been facelifted on the interior and exterior.

The service display should show the distance to the next service (12month/15000km). Don't know what the '29 months' means. Maybe an accessory needs a service every 30months, can only think that it may be for the aircon or some other accessory like that. My 2014 only shows the engine/car service interval. The agents should have reset the reminder interval at the service

Not my self but they did have a recall last year on the model hve you taken it in ?

I believe they updated the software on the first service, so yes.

Scary . Do you find it a very bumpy ride
