2003 MITSUBISHI SHOGUN Key warning

NOTE
(1) If the engine is cold, the diesel pre-
heat warning lamp is on for a longer
time.
(2) When the engine has not been started
within about 5 seconds after the die-
sel preheat warning lamp went out,
return the ignition key to the“LOCK”
position. Then, turn the key to the“ON”
position to preheat the engine again.
(3) When the engine is warm, the diesel
preheat warning lamp does not come
on even if the ignition key is placed in
the“ON”position.
Start the engine by turning the igni-
tion key right to the“START”position.
6. Operate the accelerator pedal as
described below in accordance with the
atmospheric temperature and/or engine
condition and then start the engine.
(1) When the atmospheric temperature is
moderate or the engine is warm, start
the engine without depressing the
accelerator pedal.
(2) When the atmospheric temperature is
low and the engine is cold, start the
engine following procedures:
2500 models: Without depressing the
accelerator pedal, start the
engine.
3200 models: While depressing the accel-
erator pedal about halfway,
start the engine.

Manual transmission
EI29A-M
The shift pattern is shown on the gear-
shift lever knob. Be sure to always fully
depress the clutch pedal before attempt-
ing to shift the lever.
CAUTION
(1) Do not move the gearshift lever
into reverse while the vehicle is
moving forward; doing so will
damage the transmission.
(2) Do not rest your foot on the
clutch pedal while driving as this
will cause premature clutch wear
or damage.
CAUTION
(3) If the clutch is engaged sud-
denly while the engine revolu-
tion is high, an extremely large
load will be applied instanta-
neously to the power train, pos-
sibly leading to the breakage of
that component. Please ensure,
therefore, that the clutch pedal is
always applied in a slow yet firm
manner.
The 3200models have a special
feature to protect the power train
from damage; the engine is con-
trolled in such a way that exces-
sive increase in engine
revolution is prevented in situa-
tions where the accelerator
pedal is depressed while the
gearshift lever is in the 1st posi-
tion and the clutch pedal has
been depressed.
NOTE
(1) If it is hard to shift into 1st, depress the
clutch pedal again; the shift will then be
easier to make.
(2) To shift into reverse from 5th gear,
move the gearshift lever to the“N”
(Neutral) position, and then shift it into
reverse.

To release
1- Pull the lever up slightly.
2- Push the button at the end of the hand
grip.
3- Push the lever downward.
When parking on a hill, apply the parking
brake and turn the front wheels towards the
kerb on a downhill grade, away from the
kerb on an uphill grade.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the park-
ing brake is fully released and the
brake warning lamp is off.
If a vehicle is driven without releas-
ing the parking brake, the brake will
be overheated, resulting in ineffec-
tive braking and possible brake fail-
ure.
Parking
EI22A-He
Parking on a slopeFully engage the parking brake, and then
move the gearshift lever to 1st (on an
uphill) or reverse (on a downhill) position on
manual transmission vehicle.
On automatic transmission vehicle, move
the selector lever to“P”(PARK) position.
When parking on a hill, apply chocks to
wheels for greater safety.Parking with the engine runningDo not keep the engine running in a closed
or poorly ventilated place. Carbon monox-
ide gas is odourless and extremely poison-
ous and dangerous.Where you parkDo not park in a place where there are
inflammable objects such as dry grass,
leaves, etc. because the exhaust system
produces very high temperatures. This may
cause a fire.When leaving the vehicleAlways remove the key from the ignition
switch and lock all doors when leaving the
vehicle unattended.
Always try to park your vehicle in a well lit
area.

NOTE
Take care when lowering the vehicle, as
sudden closure of the jack release valve
can cause damage to the jack.
3. Remove the jack.
NOTE
(1) Occasionally, when the vehicle is
raised, the grooved portion of the ram
will not disengage. When this hap-
pens, rock the vehicle to lower the ram.
(2) When the jack is difficult to remove by
hand, insert the jack handle into the
holder and hook the jack handle notch
onto the holder notch and secure it
there. Then pull the jack handle and
remove the jack.
4. Press the piston down all the way, and
turn the release valve clockwise as far
as possible.
5. Store the jack and jack handle.
WARNING
(1) Raise the vehicle so the tyre just
clears the ground. It is danger-
ous to raise the vehicle any
higher.
(2) Never get under the vehicle while
using the jack. Avoid jarring the
raised vehicle or leaving it sup-
ported on the jack for any longer
than required. Both are very
dangerous.
(3) Do not start or run the engine
while the vehicle is on the jack.
The vehicle might start moving
causing the vehicle to fall down
from the jack.
(4) Do not turn the jacked up
wheels. The tyres remaining on
the ground may turn, causing
the vehicle body to fall down
from the jack.
(5) No one should stay in the vehicle
while the jack is used.
CAUTION
Use only the jack included with the
vehicle, and use it only for chang-
ing wheels.

Installation of spare wheel
1. Hang the tyre wheel on the hook of the
spare wheel hanger (A). Align each hole
of the wheel with the corresponding hole
of the spare wheel hanger and install
the bolts.
Using the wheel nut wrench, tighten the
bolts positively.
N03A083A
2. To reinstall the lock bolt, put back the
bolt cover with the key still in the lock,
pressing the bolt cover onto the bolt as
far as it will go, then lock it by remov-
ing the key.
If a tyre is punctured
EN24AOIc
If a tyre must be changed due to a punc-
ture, do so only after first following every
precaution for safety: parking the vehicle in
a place where it is not a traffic hazard or
dangerous to you and your vehicle’s occu-
pants, on a flat surface.
CAUTION
When removing the spare wheel, it is
recommended you wear gloves.
Removing the spare wheel with your
bare hands may cause injury to the
fingers.
1. Comply with local regulations concern-
ing the protection of broken-down
vehicles by switching on the hazard
warning flashers, setting up a warning
triangle, flashing signal lamp, etc., at an
adequate distance from the vehicle.
Have all passengers leave the vehicle.

N07B021A
Removal of water from the fuel
filter (diesel- powered vehicles
only)
EN07B-Bc
If the warning lamp illuminates during driv-
ing, it indicates that water has accumu-
lated in the fuel filter. If this occurs, remove
the water as described below.
1. Loosen the drain plug (A) at the bot-
tom of the fuel filter.
N07B022A
2. Operate the hand pump (B) slowly 6 or
7 times in order to force the water out
through the drain plug (A).
3. Tighten the drain plug (A) when water no
longer comes out.
4. Loosen the air plug and bleed the air.
(Refer to“Bleeding the fuel system.”)
5. Check to be sure that the warning lamp
illuminates when the ignition key is
turned to“ON”, and that it goes off when
the engine is started. If in doubt, con-
sult your nearest authorized MITSUB-
ISHI dealer.

Type 1Brake fluid
EM08A-Wa
Type 1
(Except for vehicles with ABS )Check the brake fluid level in the reser-
voir.
The brake fluid level must be between the
“MAX”and“MIN”marks on the reservoir.
M08A025A
Type 2Type 2
(Vehicles with ABS )Check the brake fluid level in the reser-
voir.
The brake fluid level must be between the
“MAX”and“MIN”marks on the reservoir.
If the level is below the“MIN”mark, check
according to the following procedure:
1. Turn the ignition key to the“LOCK”or
“ACC”position.
2. Repeatedly depress the brake pedal
until significant resistance is felt
(normally after about 40 times).
3. Check the brake fluid level in the res-
ervoir.
The brake fluid level must be between
the“MAX”and“MIN”marks on the res-
ervoir.The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the
brake pads, but this does not indicate any
abnormality.
If the brake fluid level falls markedly in a
short length of time, it indicates leaks from
the brake system.
If this occurs, have the vehicle checked by
an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or
DOT 4. The brake fluid is hygroscopic. Too
much moisture in the brake fluid will
adversely affect the brake system, reduc-
ing the brake performance.
In addition, the brake fluid reservoir is
equipped with a special cap to prevent the
entrance of air, and this cap should not be
removed.
The brake fluid level is monitored by a float.
When the brake fluid level falls below the
“MIN”mark, the brake fluid warning lamp
lights up.
