2003 MITSUBISHI SHOGUN automatic transmission

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.
(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- Set the blower speed to the maximum
blower speed position.
3- Set the temperature to the maximum
temperature position.
NOTE
(1) While the mode selection dial is set to
the“

outside air position will also be selected
automatically. This is done for opti-
mum performance.
(In the case, the air conditioning indi-
cator lamp will not change.)
(2) Do not set the temperature control dial
around the max. cool position. Cool air
will blow against the window glasses
and form mist on them.

CAUTION
(1) This vehicle must not be towedby a tow truck using sling lift
type equipment (Type A) as illus-
trated. Using a sling lift will dam-
age the bumper and front end.
(2) In case the vehicle with an auto- matic transmission must be
towe d farthe r tha n 50k m (3 1
miles) ,transpor tth evehicl ewith
all wheels off the ground (Type B
or C) or with rear wheels off the
ground (Type E) as illustrated.
(3) If the transmission is dam- aged, transport the vehicle with
all wheels off the ground (Type B
or C) as illustrated.
(4) Be sure to shift the transfer shift lever to “2H ”position. Never try
to tow with the transfer shift
lever in “4H ”or “4L ”positions
(part time 4WD models), “4H ”,
“ 4HLc ”,or “4LLc ”positions
(super select 4WD II models) and
with any of the wheels on the
ground (Type D or E). This could
result in damage to the vehi-
cle ’s driving system, or the
vehicle could become sepa-
rated from the tow truck and
unexpected accident might
result. Towing with front wheels off the ground
(Type D)
Place the gear shift lever (manual
transmission) or the selector lever
(automatic transmission) in the
“Neutral ”or
“N” (NEUTRAL) position. Release the park-
ing brake.
Towing with rear wheels off the ground
(Type E)
Turn the ignition switch to the “ACC ”posi-
tion and secure the steering wheel in a
straight-ahead position with a rope or
tie-down strap.
Never place the ignition switch in the
“ LOCK ”position. It is dangerous as the
steering wheel may lock.

FrontEmergency towingIf towing is necessary, we recommend you
to have it done by your MITSUBISHI dealer
or a commercial tow truck service.
If towing service is not available in an emer-
gency, your vehicle may be temporarily
towed by a cable or chain secured to one
of the following parts:
A- Front towing hook
B- Rear towing hook
NOTE
(1) Use care that the towing rope is kept as horizontal as possible. An angled tow-
ing rope can damage the vehicle body.
(2) Never attempt to tow out a ditched vehicle, because the towing rope can-
not be kept horizontal.

RearIf your vehicle is to be towed, pay care-
ful attention to the following points:
(1) For vehicles with an automatic trans-
mission, check the automatic transmis-
sion fluid level. (Refer to“Automatic
transmission fluid”on page 9-4)
If the fluid level is low, transport the
vehicle with all wheels off the ground.
CAUTION
If the vehicle is out of automatic
transmission fluid, the transmis-
sion could be damaged.
(2) Move the gear shift lever (manual
transmission) or the selector lever
(automatic transmission) to the
“Neutral”or“N”(NEUTRAL).(3) Move the transfer shift lever to“2H”
position.
CAUTION
If the vehicle is towed with the trans-
fer shift lever in“4H”or“4L”posi-
tion (part time 4WD models)“4H”,
“4HLc”or“4LLc”position (super
select 4WD II models) the drive
mechanism may be dameged.
(4) Be sure the towing speed is within the
legal limit. In addition, if the vehicle is
equipped with an automatic transmis-
sion, make sure that the towing speed
and distance given below are never
exceeded.
Towing speed: 50 km/h (31 mph)
Towing distance: 50 km (31 miles)
(5) If the transmission is malfunctioning or
damaged, or if the vehicle is equipped
with an automatic transmission and
must be towed farther than 50km (31
miles), tow the vehicle by a tow truck.
(6) Turn the ignition switch to the“ACC”or
“ON”position to unlock the steering
wheel.
CAUTION
(1) As the engine is not running, the
brake booster and power steer-
ing pump do not operate. This
means higher brake depres-
sion force and higher steering
effort are required. Therefore,
vehicle operation is more diffi-
cult than usual.
(2) Do not leave the key in the
“LOCK”position. If the key is
removed while driving, the steer-
ing will be locked causing loss
of control.

2. You could be injured if the vehicles
move. Set the parking brake firmly on
each vehicle. Put an automatic trans-
mission in“P”(PARK) or a manual
transmission in“N”(Neutral). Turn off the
ignition switch.
WARNING
Turn off the ignition on both vehicles
beforehand. Take care to make sure
that the cables or your clothes do not
get caught by the fan or drive belt.
Personal injury could result.
NOTE
Turn off all lamps, heater and other elec-
trical loads. This will avoid sparks and help
save both batteries.3. Make sure that the battery electrolyte is
at the proper level.
Refer to“Battery”on page 9-6.
WARNING
If the electrolyte fluid is not visible, or
appears to be frozen, Do Not Attempt
Jump Starting!
A battery might rupture or explode if
the temperature is below the freez-
ing point or if it is not filled to the
proper level.

4. Connect one end of one jumper cable to
the positive (+) terminal of the dis-
charged battery, and the other end to
the positive (+) terminal of the booster
battery.
5. Connect one end of the other jumper
cable to the negative (-) terminal of the
booster battery, and the other end to the
engine block of the vehicle with the dis-
charged battery at the point farthest from
the battery.
NOTE
Remove the cover before connecting the
jumper cable to the positive terminal of the
battery.

CAUTION
(1) Do not attempt to start the
engine by pulling or pushing the
vehicle.
It could damage your vehicle.
(2) Always wear protective eye
goggles when working near the
battery.
(3) Keep the battery out of the reach
of children.
NOTE
On a vehicle with an anti-lock brake sys-
tem, if the vehicle is started or put in motion
without fully charging the battery, it might
cause the loss of smooth engine opera-
tion and it might cause the anti-lock brake
warning lamp to illuminate.
