Opening the hood of Mitsubishi ASX 2010 - 2017

1.  Grasp the handle and open the front door on the driver's side.

2.  Inside the car, under the dashboard, on the left side at the driver's feet, there is a lever for opening the hood.

3.  Pull the hood release lever towards you until a characteristic click is heard, which indicates that the Mitsubishi ASX hood has opened. The hood will raise slightly.

Note:

The absence of a click when pressing the lever usually indicates that the cable for the hood latch has broken.

Very often,  car owners put an electronic lock on the doors and hood, which can only be opened using the alarm control key fob. With its prolonged use, it is usually impossible to open the doors mechanically. Therefore, be sure to scroll through the regular lock cylinders with a key from time to time.

4.  In the front of the car, under the front edge of the hood, there is a hood release latch.

5.  To open the Mitsubishi ASX hood lock, put your hand under it with your palm down and reach the latch. Move the hood latch to the left side and lift up the hood cover.

Note:

The hood should only be opened when the wiper blades are in the lower operating position. If the brushes are in a different position, they may damage the hood paintwork.

6.  Under the hood, a stop is fixed in a special holder. Remove the Mitsubishi ASX hood stop from the holder and install it at a special socket on the left side of the hood cover, thereby fixing the hood in the raised position.

7.  To close the hood, disconnect the stop and secure it in the holder. Slowly lower the Mitsubishi ASX hood to a height of about 20 cm from the closed position, then lower it. Try prying up the hood slightly at the center of the front edge to make sure it is securely locked.

Warning:

Do not press hard on the hood with your hand, as this may damage it.

If you find that the hood  is open while driving, stop immediately and close it.

Note:

After installing the support leg, make sure that the leg is securely installed in the appropriate hole in the hood and there is no possibility of it unexpectedly falling. If you doubt the reliability of the standard stop or it is simply missing, then pick up a strong bar of suitable length and install it between the body and the hood cover.

When closing the hood, make sure you remove the support leg and secure it securely in the appropriate fixture: closing the hood with the leg not folded can damage the hood.
