2003 MITSUBISHI SHOGUN water pump

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.
Starting and driving

Out put date:

On a flooded road(1) Avoid flooded roads. Water could enter
the brake discs, resulting in tempo-
rarily ineffective brakes. In such cases,
lightly depress the brake pedal to see
if the brakes operate properly. If they do
not, lightly depress the pedal several
times while driving in order to dry the
brake pads.
(2) When driving in rain or on a road with
many puddles a layer of water may
form between the tyres and the road
surface.
This reduces a tyre’s frictional resis-
tance on the road, resulting in loss of
steering stability and braking capabil-
ity.
To cope with this, observe the follow-
ing items:
(a)Drive your vehicle at a slow speed.
(b)Do not drive on worn tyres. Always
maintain the specified tyre inflation
pressures.
On a snow-covered or frozen road(1) When driving on a snow-covered or fro-
zen road, it is recommended that you
use snow tyres or tyre chains.
Refer to the“Snow tyres”and“Tyre
chains”sections.
(2) Avoid high-speed operation, sudden
acceleration, abrupt brake applica-
tion and sharp cornering.
(3) Depressing the brake pedal during
travel on such a road may cause tyre
slippage and skidding. When traction
between the tyres and the road is
reduced the wheels may skid and the
vehicle cannot readily be brought to a
stop by conventional braking tech-
niques. Braking will differ, depending
upon whether you have anti-lock
brakes (ABS). If you do have ABS,
brake by pressing the brake pedal
hard, and keeping it pressed. If you do
not have ABS, pump the brake pedal
with short rapid jabs, each time fully
applying and fully releasing for great-
est effect.
(4) Allow extra distance between your
vehicle and the vehicle in front of you,
and avoid sudden braking.

CAUTION
(1) Do not smoke or have any other
open flame near the vehicle
while bleeding the fuel system.
(2) Be sure to carefully clean away
any spilt fuel which could ignite
and cause a fire.

Removal of water from the fuel
filter (diesel- powered vehicles
only)
EN07B-Bc
If the warning lamp illuminates during driv-
ing, it indicates that water has accumu-
lated in the fuel filter. If this occurs, remove
the water as described below.
1. Loosen the drain plug (A) at the bot-
tom of the fuel filter.
N07B022A
2. Operate the hand pump (B) slowly 6 or
7 times in order to force the water out
through the drain plug (A).
3. Tighten the drain plug (A) when water no
longer comes out.
4. Loosen the air plug and bleed the air.
(Refer to“Bleeding the fuel system.”)
5. Check to be sure that the warning lamp
illuminates when the ignition key is
turned to“ON”, and that it goes off when
the engine is started. If in doubt, con-
sult your nearest authorized MITSUB-
ISHI dealer.

Engine coolant
EM36A-Tb
A translucent coolant reserve tank is
located in the engine compartment. The
coolant level in this tank should be kept
between the“LOW”and“FULL”marks
when measured while the engine is cold .
The cooling system is a closed system and
normally the loss of coolant should be very
slight. A noticeable drop in the coolant level
could indicate leakage. If this occurs, have
the system checked at an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer as soon as possible.
If the level should drop below the“LOW”
level on the reserve tank, open the lid and
add coolant.
Also, if the reserve tank is completely
empty, remove the radiator cap and add
coolant until the level reaches the filler
neck.
WARNING
Do not open the radiator cap while
the engine is hot. The coolant sys-
tem is under pressure and any hot
coolant escaping could cause severe
burns.Anti-freezeThe engine coolant contains an ethylene
glycol anti-corrosion agent. The cylinder
head and water pump housing are cast alu-
minium alloy, and periodic changing of the
engine coolant is necessary to prevent cor-
rosion of these parts.
Use DIA QUEEN SUPER LONG LIFE
COOLANT or equivalent.
MITSUBISHI Genuine Coolant has excel-
lent protection against corrosion and rust
formation of all metals including alu-
minium and can avoid clogs in the radia-
tor, heater, cylinder head, engine block, etc.
Because of the necessity of this
anti-corrosion agent, the coolant must not
be replaced with plain water even in sum-
mer. The required concentration of
anti-freeze differs depending on the
expected ambient temperature.Ambient temperature
(minimum)°C–15–20–25–30–35–50
Anti-freeze
concentration %30 35 40 45 50 60
CAUTION
(1) Do not use alcohol or metha-
nol anti-freeze or any engine
coolants mixed with alcohol or
methanol anti-freeze. The use of
an improper anti-freeze can
cause corrosion of the alu-
minium components.
(2) For effective anti-corrosion and
anti-freeze performance, keep
the anti-freeze concentration
within the range of 30 to 60%.
Concentrations exceeding 60%
will result in a reduction of both
the anti-freeze and cooling per-
formance thus adversely affect-
ing the engine.
(3) Do not top up with water only.
Water by itself reduces the
rust-protective and anti-freeze
qualities of the coolant and has
a lower boiling point. It can also
cause damage to the cooling
system if it should freeze. Do not
use tapwater, as it can cause
corrosion and rust formation.
