2003 MITSUBISHI SHOGUN light

Braking
EI23AAGa
All the parts of the brake system are criti-
cal to safety. Have the vehicle serviced by an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer at regular
intervals according to the service booklet.Brake system(1) The service brake is divided into two
brake circuits so that when one brake
circuit fails, the other is available to stop
the vehicle. If this occurs, however, the
brake pedal must be depressed fur-
ther than usual; stop driving as soon as
possible and have the brake system
repaired at the nearest authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer.
(2) The brake boosting force is lost after
the brake pedal is depressed once or
twice while the engine is off. If this
occurs, the brake will require greater
force than usual. This is especially
important when the vehicle is being
towed.
Vehicles equipped with anti-lock brake
system
The brake system uses brake fluid pres-
surized by the pump to power-assist the
brake. If the brake system fails during driv-
ing, the brake warning lamp comes on and
buzzer sounds continuously. In this case,
the brake may not work properly.If this buzzer should continue to sound,
park your vehicle in a safe place and con-
tact your nearest authorized MITSUB-
ISHI dealer.
Please refer to“Brake warning lamp”on
page 4-7.
CAUTION
Bring the vehicle to halt in a safe
location by applying the brakes gen-
tly. Applying the brakes rapidly or
driving at high speed may make the
vehicle unstable.
NOTE
(1) Depressing the brake pedal repeat-
edly may turn on the brake warning
lamp, ABS warning lamp and brake
warning buzzer. It is normal if the lamp
goes out and the buzzer stops sound-
ing after a few seconds.
(2) In certain cases immediately after the
engine has been started or when the
brake pedal is depressed repeatedly, a
noise generated by operation of brake
devices may be heard coming from the
engine compartment. This type of noise
is normal and is no need for concern.
In fact, it indicates that the correspond-
ing devices are operating normal.
Warning lampThe brake warning lamp lets you know if
your brake system is working properly.
Read“Brake warning lamp”on page 4-7.When brakes are wetCheck the brake system while driving at a
low speed immediately after starting, espe-
cially when the brakes are wet, to con-
firm they work normally.
A film of water can form on the brake discs
and prevent normal functioning after driv-
ing in heavy rain or through large puddles,
or after the vehicle is washed. If this occurs,
dry the brakes out by driving slowly while
lightly depressing the brake pedal.When driving downhillIt is important to take advantage of the
engine braking by shifting to a lower gear
while driving on steep downhill roads in
order to prevent the brakes from overheat-
ing.

Brake pads(1) With new brake pads, avoid where pos-
sible sudden full application of the
brakes for the first 200 km (125 miles)
of driving.
(2) The disc brakes are provided with a
warning device which emits a shriek-
ing metallic sound while braking if the
brake pads have reached their limit.
If you hear this sound, have the brake
pads replaced by your MITSUBISHI
dealer.
CAUTION
(1) Do not leave any objects or place
a thick floor mat around the
brake pedal; doing so could pre-
vent the full pedal stroke that
would be necessary in an emer-
gency. Make sure that the pedal
can be operated freely at all
times.
(2) Avoid driving habits that cause
heavy braking and never“ride”
the brakes by resting your foot
on the brake pedal while driv-
ing.
It causes brake overheating and
fade.
Anti - lock brake system (ABS)*
EI24ABCb
Environmental conditions can have an
effect on braking. During sudden braking
when there is snow, ice, oil, water etc. on
the road surface, a skid may occur. In this
situation, steering control and braking effec-
tiveness are reduced and the stopping dis-
tance is increased. The vehicle may also
go into an uncontrolled spin.
The ABS helps prevent the wheels from
locking during braking, thus maintaining
directional stability, ensuring controlabil-
ity and providing optimum braking force.Driving hints(1) With ABS fitted, steering during sud-
den braking (when the ABS functions)
differs slightly from when the brakes
are not being applied.
Steer the vehicle carefully in these con-
ditions.(2) Always maintain the same distance
from the vehicle in front of you as you
would for a vehicle not equipped with
ABS.
Compared with vehicles not fitted with
ABS, your vehicle may require a longer
stopping distance in the following
cases:
•Driving on gravel or snow-covered
roads.
•Driving with tyre chains installed.
•Driving on roads where the road sur-
face is pitted or has other differ-
ences in surface height.
•Driving on bumpy roads or other poor
driving surfaces.
(3) In order to ensure that the anti-lock
brake system (ABS) will operate cor-
rectly in situations where tyre chains
have been fitted, drive in“4H”or“4L”
for part time 4WD, or in“4H”,“4HLc”,
or“4LLc”for super select 4WD II.
(4) Operation of ABS is not restricted to
situations where brakes are applied
suddenly. This system may also oper-
ate to prevent wheel lock when you are
driving over manholes, steel road-work
plates, or the vehicle is driven over
steps or level differences in the road,
road markings, or other surfaces which
are difficult for the wheels to grip.

NOTE
Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly may
turn on the brake warning lamp, ABS warn-
ing lamp and brake warning buzzer. It is
normal if the lamp goes out and the buzzer
stops sounding after a few seconds.
If the lamp illuminates while
driving(1) Since there will always be a possibil-
ity of the vehicle becoming unstable
when brakes are applied rapidly,
ensure that brakes are applied gently
and that high-speed driving is not
attempted; furthermore, bring the
vehicle to halt in a safe location.
Restart the engine and check to see
whether the lamp goes out after a few
minutes driving; if it then remains off
during driving, there is no problem.
However, if the lamp does not go out,
or if it lights up again when the vehicle
is driven, have the vehicle checked by
an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer as
soon as possible.
(2) After starting the engine using jumper
cables, if you attempt to drive the
vehicle before the battery is suffi-
ciently charged, the engine will run
irregularly and the ABS warning lamp
will illuminate indicating that the vehicle
should not be driven.
This situation, however, is caused
merely by insufficient battery voltage
and is not an abnormal situation.
If such a situation occurs, run the
engine at idle for some time to charge
the battery.
I24A119A
FrontNOTE
(1) Immediately after the vehicle starts
moving after engine start up, a brake
pedal pulsating is felt when the brake
pedal is depressed. This pulsation is
due to the self-diagnosis operation of
the ABS and does not indicate a mal-
function.
(2) After driving on snowy roads, remove
any snow and ice which may have
become adhered to the wheel areas.
When doing this, be careful not to dam-
age the wheel speed sensors (A) and
cables located at each wheel on
vehicles equipped with an ABS.
