2003 MITSUBISHI SHOGUN stop start

Driving hintsWhen extricating the vehicle from mud or
fresh snow with the transfer shift lever in
the“2H”,“4H”or“4HLc”position, you may
find that operation of the M-ASTC pre-
vents the engine speed from increasing in
response to depression of the accelera-
tor pedal. If this happens and the vehicle
remains stuck as a result, place the trans-
fer shift lever in the“4LLc”position or turn
the active stability control switch OFF. The
vehicle will then be easier to extricate.Active stability control systemThe active stability control system is
designed to improve the vehicle’s stabil-
ity by restraining its tendency to slip side-
ways (for example, when rounding a curve
in slippery conditions, or when the driver
takes rapid steering action to avoid an
obstacle). It works by controlling the engine
output and the brake on each wheel.
NOTE
When the engine starts, a click is heard
from the engine compartment. This is only
the sound of the active stability control sys-
tem being checked. It does not indicate a
fault.
I19A022A
Active stability control switchThe active stability control switch automati-
cally turns ON when the ignition switch is
turned to the“ON”position. You can turn
the active stability control switch OFF when
the vehicle speed is below about 40km/h,
but it is recommended that the active sta-
bility control switch normally be kept ON.
1- ON
2- OFFNOTE
(1) The active stability control system does
not operate when the transfer shift lever
is in the“4LLc”position.
(2) When the active stability control sys-
tem is operating with the transfer shift
lever in the“2H”,“4H”or“4HLc”posi-
tion, moving the shift lever to the“4LLc”
position makes the active stability con-
trol system deactivate automatically.
(3) If the vehicle speed increases to about
120 km/h with the active stability con-
trol switch OFF, the active stability con-
trol system automatically starts
operating. To subsequently stop the
active stability control system, stop the
vehicle and press the (2) side of the
active stability control switch.

The active stability control system and
active traction control system share the
same indication lamps.
The indication lamps should illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON”position and should go off after a few
seconds.

control system or active traction control sys-
tem is operating.lamp is illuminated when the active sta-
bility control system is turned OFF with the
active stability control switch.CAUTION
(1) When
lamp blinks, the active
stability control system is oper-
ating, which means that the road
is slippery or that your vehicle is
accelerating excessively. If this
happens, lift your foot off the
accelerator pedal and maintain
moderate speed.
(2) If a fault occurs in the device, the
ABS warning lamp or
and
lamp illuminate as warn-
ing. Park your vehicle in a safe
place and stop the engine. Then,
start the engine again and check
whether the ABS warning lamp
orand
lamp go out.
If the ABS warning lamp or

lamp remains lit even
after the engine has been
started, have your vehicle
checked at an authorized MIT-
SUBISHI dealer.NOTE
Immediately after reconnection of the bat-
tery cable, the
lamp will blink on and
the active stability control system will stop
operating.
If the vehicle is driven and the
lamp
goes off, the active stability control sys-
tem will again start operating. If the lamp
comes on again or comes on even though
the battery has not been disconnected, an
insufficient battery voltage or other prob-
lems may be the reason. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized MITSUBISHI
dealer.

Active traction control systemThe active traction control system main-
tains traction on slippery road surfaces by
automatically controlling the engine out-
put and applying the brakes so the driv-
ing wheels are prevented from spinning.
The active traction control system auto-
matically turns ON when the ignition switch
is turned to the“ON”position.
CAUTION
If the temperature in the braking sys-
tem increases excessively due to
continuous brake control on a slip-
pery road surface, a warning buzzer
will sound intermittently to warn the
driver. If driving continues in spite of
the buzzer and the temperature in the
braking system increases further, the
lamp will illuminate, the warn-
ing buzzer will sound continuously
for approximately 3 seconds, and
active traction control system opera-
tion will be suspended to protect the
braking system. (Normal operation of
the vehicle will not be affected.) If the
vehicle is stopped and the
lamp
goes off, the active traction control
system will start operating again.NOTE
(1) When the engine starts, a click is heard
from the engine compartment. This is
only the sound of the active traction
control system being checked. It does
not indicate a fault.
(2) When the active traction control sys-
tem operates, you may feel vibration
and/or hear the active traction control
system’s operating noise, which indi-
cates that the active traction control
system is working normally. They do
not indicate a fault.
(3) The active traction control system does
not operate while the ABS warning
lamp is illuminated.

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.
