2003 MITSUBISHI SHOGUN air conditioning

(7)Load
Do not drive with unnecessary articles
in the luggage compartment. Espe-
cially during city driving where fre-
quent starting and stopping is
necessary, the increased weight of the
vehicle will greatly affect fuel consump-
tion. Also avoid driving with unneces-
sary luggage, etc., on the roof; the
increased air resistance will increase
fuel consumption.
(8)Cold engine starting
Starting of a cold engine consumes
more fuel.
Unnecessary fuel consumption is also
caused by keeping a hot engine run-
ning. After the engine is started, com-
mence driving as soon as possible.
(9)Air conditioning*
The use of the air conditioning will
increase the fuel consumption.(10)Driving techniques for
engine
To take maximum advantage of the
fuel efficiency and other benefits of
the
engine, please
observe the following guidelines:
•TheECO indication lamp
in the meter cluster illuminates when
the vehicle is driven in a
fuel-efficient, environment-friendly
manner. Try to drive such that the
lamp is illuminated as much as pos-
sible. In particular, you should avoid
sudden starts and rapid accelera-
tion.
ECO indication lamp
→P.4-13
•Use of the air conditioner causes
fuel consumption and
carbon-dioxide emissions to
increase significantly. Avoid using
the air conditioner to cool the cabin
more than necessary.

Trailer towing
EC21AOIa
In order to tow a trailer with your vehicle,
have a trailer towing device that meets all
relevant regulations in your area, mounted
at an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
The regulations concerning the towing of a
trailer may differ from country to country.
You are advised to obey the regulations in
each area.
CAUTION
Danger of Accident!
A towing bar should be fitted by an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
[For super select 4WD models]
When you are going to tow a trailer,
move the transfer shift lever to“4H”
position.
Selecting“2H”drive may increase
the differential oil temperature, result-
ing in possible damage to the driv-
ing system.
Further, the drive train will be sub-
jected to excessive loading possi-
bly leading to oil leakage, component
seizure, or other serious faults.
NOTE
Fitting of a towing bar requires special-
ized skills and equipment.
Contact an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer
for details. If you are going to tow a trailer,
pay careful attention to the following points.

Operation of the automatic trans-
mission INVECS II Sport Mode 5A/T
EI04D-Ch
CAUTION
(1) Before selecting a gear with the
engine running and the vehicle
stationary, fully depress the
brake pedal to prevent the
vehicle from creeping.
The vehicle will begin to move
as soon as the gear is engaged,
especially when the engine
speed is high, at fast idle or with
the air conditioning operating,
the brakes should only be
released when you are ready to
drive away.
(2) Depress the brake pedal with the
right foot at all times.
Using the left foot could cause
driver movement delay in case
of an emergency.
(3) To prevent sudden accelera-
tion, never race the engine when
shifting from the“P”(PARK) or
“N”(NEUTRAL).
CAUTION
(4) Operating the accelerator pedal
while the other foot is resting on
the brake pedal will affect brak-
ing efficiency and may cause
premature wear of brake pads.
Do not race the engine with
brake pedal pressed.
This can damage the transmis-
sion.Passing acceleration
EI04F-P
To gain extra acceleration in“D”(DRIVE)
position (when passing another vehicle)
push the accelerator to the floor. The auto-
matic transmission will automatically down-
shift.
NOTE
In sports mode, downshifts do not take
place when the accelerator is depressed all
the way to the floor.
Uphill/downhill driving
EI04O-Ia
DRIVING UPHILL
The transmission may not upshift to a
higher gear if the computer determines the
current speed cannot be maintained once
a higher gear is engaged.
For smoother vehicle performance, if you
release the throttle while climbing a steep
grade, the transmission may not upshift.
This is normal, as the computer is tempo-
rarily preventing shifting. After reaching the
top of the hill, normal gear shift function will
resume.
DRIVING DOWNHILL
When travelling down steep grades, the
computer may automatically select a lower
gear. This function assists engine brak-
ing efforts, reducing the need for using the
brakes.

conditioning*
EH04AOH
The front heater and the air conditioning
can be operated while the engine is run-
ning. The performance of the heater is
directly related to the temperature of the
engine coolant, so operate the heater after
the engine has had a chance to warm up.
The amount of air flow can be regulated by
adjusting the blower speed.
1- Air conditioning switch*
Push the switch when the blower is
switched on, and the air conditioning
unit (cooling/dehumidifying function) will
operate, turning the operation indica-
tor lamp on.
Push the switch again, and the air con-
ditioning unit will stop.

RHDNOTE
On an air conditioned vehicle, the cool air
from the ventilators may appear as a mist.
This is due to moist air being suddenly
cooled by the air conditioning. This will clear
after a few moments.
CAUTION
(1) When using the air condition-
ing, the idling speed may slightly
increase as the air condition-
ing compressor is switched
on/off automatically. Especially
for vehicles with an automatic
transmission, while the vehicle
is stationary, fully depress the
brake pedal to prevent the
vehicle from creeping.
CAUTION
(2) On 3500 models, if a problem is
detected in the air conditioning
compressor, the air condition-
ing operation indicator lamp
blinks. Stop the vehicle in a safe
place, turn off the engine, then
restart the engine. If the air con-
ditioning operation indicator
lamp does not blink, there is no
problem. If it does blink, have it
checked at an authorized MIT-
SUBISHI dealer.
2- Blower speed selection dial
There are 4 blower speeds for control of
the amount of air flow.
Adjust the blower speed by turning the
blower speed selection dial clockwise or
anticlockwise.
The setting for ordinary use should be
the first or second speed.
3- Temperature control dial
The heater will not operate if the dial is
set all the way to the left.
The air flow temperature will gradually
increase as the dial is turned to the right.
NOTE
When the engine coolant temperature is
low, temperature of air introduced into the
passenger compartment does not change
even if the temperature control dial is
moved to the high temperature side.
