2003 MITSUBISHI SHOGUN ESP

Installation of accessories
EB24A-Cb
Before fitting any accessories, please con-
sult your authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
(1) The installation of accessories, optional
parts, etc., should only be carried out
within the limits prescribed by law in
your country, and in accordance with
the guidelines and warnings con-
tained within the documents accompa-
nying this vehicle.
Only MITSUBISHI approved accesso-
ries should be fitted to your vehicle.
(2) Improper installation of electrical parts
could cause fire, please refer to the
Modifications/Alterations to the electri-
cal or fuel systems section within this
manual.
(3) When using a communication system
such as a cellular phone or a radio set
inside the vehicle, a separate exter-
nal antenna must be fitted. When a cel-
lular phone or a radio set is used by
using an internal antenna alone, it may
interfere with the vehicle’s electrical
system and adversely affect safe
operation of the vehicle.
(4) Tyres and wheels which do not meet
specifications must not be used.
Refer to the“Specifications”section for
information regarding wheel and tyre
sizes.(5) Do not fail to read all relative instruc-
tions before first putting into service and
prior to the attachment or installation of
accessories, parts or other modifica-
tions to the vehicle!
Important points!
Due to the large number of accessory and
replacement parts of different manufactur-
ers in the market, it is not possible, not only
for MITSUBISHI, but also an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer, to check whether the
attachment or installation of such parts
affects the driving safety of your
MITSUBISHI-vehicle.
Even when such parts are officially autho-
rized, for example by a“general opera-
tors permit”(an appraisal for the part) or
through the execution of the part in an offi-
cially approved manner of construction, or
when a single operation permit following
the attachment or installation of such parts,
it cannot be deduced from that alone, that
the driving safety of your vehicle has not
been affected.Consider also that there basically exists no
liability on the part of the appraiser or the
official. Only in the case of parts
(MITSUBISHI original replacement or
exchange parts as well as MITSUBISHI
accessories) that are recommended and
released by an authorized MITSUBISHI
dealer and that are attached or installed by
an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer can you
assume, that optimal safety has been pro-
vided. The same also pertains to modifi-
cations of MITSUBISHI vehicles with
respect to the production specifications. For
your own safety, in such cases as well, you
should only undertake modifications
according to the recommendations of an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.

Confirm that the height adjusting knobs (A)
are correctly adjusted as shown in the illus-
tration, and also lift the head restraints to
ensure that they do not come out of the
seatback.
WARNING
It is dangerous to drive with incor-
rectly adjusted head restraints or
without head restraints installed;
always have them correctly fitted
when using the vehicle. Failure to do
so could cause serious injury if
involved in an accident.
G26B033A
CAUTION
The head restraints for the seats dif-
fer in shape and size. When install-
ing head restraints, make sure the
head restraints are fitted in their
respective seats.
Seat belts
EG28ABMa
To protect you and your passengers in the
event of an accident, it is most important
that the seat belts are worn correctly when
you drive.
The front seat belts have pre-tensioners.
These belts are used the same way as
conventional seat belts.
Refer to“Pre-tensioner seat belt system”on
page 3-56.
WARNING
(1) Never wear the shoulder por-
tion of the seat belt under the
arm or other position which is
incorrect.
(2) One seat belt should be used by
only one person. Doing other-
wise can be dangerous.
(3) The seat belt will provide its
wearer with maximum protec-
tion if the recliner seatback is
placed in fully upright position.
When the seatback is reclined,
there is greater risk that the pas-
senger will slide under the belt,
especially in a forward impact
accident, and may be injured by
the belt or by striking the instru-
ment panel or seatbacks.

When the impact sensors detect an impact
of sufficient frontal or side force, an auto-
mated circuit ignites materials in the infla-
tor to generate gas and inflate the air bags.
The air bags deployment produces a sud-
den, loud noise, and releases some smoke
and powder, but these conditions are not
injurious, and do not indicate a fire in the
vehicle. People with respiratory problems
may feel some temporary irritation from
chemicals used to produce the deployment;
open the windows after air bag deploy-
ment, if safe to do so.
The air bags deflate very rapidly after
deployment, so there is little danger of
obscured vision.
The time required from the sensors detect-
ing an impact to deflation of the air bags
after deployment is shorter than a blink of
an eye.
CAUTION
Air bags are inflated at an extremely
rapid speed. In certain situations,
contact with inflating air bags can
result in light cuts, bruises, and the
like.

Driver’s and passenger’s front air
bag system
EG29C-D
The driver’s air bag is located under the
padded cover in the middle of the steer-
ing wheel. The front passenger air bag is
contained in the instrument panel above the
upper glove box.
The driver air bag and the front passen-
ger air bag are designed to inflate at the
same time even if the passenger seat is not
occupied.

The front air bags MAY NOT DEPLOY when…
With certain types of frontal collisions, the vehicle’s body struc-
ture is designed to absorb the shock to help protect the occu-
pants from harm. (The vehicle body’s front area may deform
significantly as it absorbs the impact.) Under such circum-
stances, the front air bags may not deploy irrespective of the defor-
mation and damage to the vehicle body.
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustration:
1- Collision with a utility pole, tree or other narrow object
2- Vehicle slides under the rear body of a truck
3- Oblique frontal impacts
Because the front air bags do not protect the occupant in all types
of frontal collisions, be sure to always properly wear your seat
belts.
