2003 MITSUBISHI SHOGUN steering wheel adjustment

Seat adjustment
EG21A-Ud
Adjust the driver’s seat so that you are
comfortable and that you can reach the
pedals, steering wheel, switches etc. while
retaining a clear field of vision.
WARNING
(1) If required, always adjust the
seating before the vehicle is in
motion. After adjustments are
made, ensure the seating is
locked in position by attempt-
ing to move the seat and seat-
back forward and rearward
without using the adjusting
mechanism.
WARNING
(2) It is extremely dangerous to ride
in the luggage area (inside or
outside) of a vehicle. Also, the
luggage area and rear seats
should never be used as a play
area by children. In a collision,
people or children riding unre-
strained in these areas are more
likely to be seriously injured or
killed.
Do not allow people or children
to ride in any area of your
vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts, and make
sure that everyone travelling in
your vehicle is in a seat and
wearing a seat belt, or in the
case of a child is strapped in a
child restraint.
In the interest of their safety,
children should not be allowed
to adjust the seats.
WARNING
(3) To minimize the risk of per-
sonal injury in the event of a col-
lision or sudden braking, the
seatbacks should always be in
the almost upright position while
the vehicle is in motion. The pro-
tection provided by the seat
belts may be reduced signifi-
cantly when the seatback is
reclined. There is greater risk
that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in
serious injury, when the seat-
back is reclined.

Steering wheel height adjustment
EG09A-Ci
To adjust the steering wheel height, release
the tilt lock lever while holding the steer-
ing wheel by hand, and raise or lower the
steering wheel to the desired height.
After adjustment, securely lock the lever by
pulling it upward.
1- Locked
2- Release
WARNING
(1) After adjusting to the desired
height, check to be sure that the
lever is locked.
(2) Do not attempt to adjust the
steering wheel while you are
driving the vehicle.
(3) When releasing the tilt lock lever,
move it to the release position
(2) and hold the steering wheel
by hand to prevent it falling to
the lowest position.
Power steering system
EC13A-AH
When the engine is stopped, the power
steering system will not function and it will
require greater manual effort to operate the
steering wheel. Keep this in mind in par-
ticular when towing the vehicle. Never turn
off the engine while driving.
Periodically check the power steering fluid
level.
CAUTION
Do not hold the steering wheel in the
fully turned position (either left or
right), for longer than 10 seconds.
This can cause damage to the power
steering pump due to reduced lubri-
cation.
