2003 MITSUBISHI SHOGUN wheel size

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.

Cautions on handling of 4WD
vehicles
EI49A-Xa
Tyre and disc wheelsSince the driving torque can be applied to
the 4 wheels, the performance of the
vehicle when operating in 4WD is greatly
affected by the condition of the tyres.
Pay close attention to the tyres.
•Install specified tyres on all wheels. Refer
to“Tyre and wheels”on page 10-10.
•Be sure to equip the car with all four tyres
and wheels of the same size and type.
When replacement of any of the tyres or
wheels is necessary, replace all of them.
•All tyres should be rotated whenever the
wear difference between front and rear
tyres is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be
expected if there is a difference in wear
between tyres. Refer to the“Tyre rotation”
on page 9-15.
•Check the tyre inflation pressure regu-
larly.
CAUTION
Always use tyres of the same size,
same type, and same brand, which
have no wear differences.
Using the tyres of differ in size, type,
brand or a different degree of wear
will cause excessive loading, result-
ing in possible damage to the drive
system.Jacking up a 4-wheel drive vehicles
WARNING
Do not crank the engine while jack-
ing up the vehicle.
The tyre on the ground may turn and
the vehicle may roll off the jack.Operate clutch pedal slowly and
positivelyQuick or slight clutch engagement made
while the engine is running at high speed
will cause damage to the clutch and trans-
mission because the tractive force is very
great.
Operate the pedal slowly and positively.

plete stop, fully engage the parking brake,
and then move the gearshift lever to 1st (on
an uphill) or Reverse (on a downhill) posi-
tion, for vehicles with a manual transmis-
sion or set the selector lever to“P”(PARK)

(5) When the ABS system is activated, you
may feel the brake pedal pulsating and
hear a characteristic noise. Also at this
time, it may feel as if the pedal attempts
to resist being depressed.
In this situation, to let the ABS work
for you, just hold the brake pedal
down more firmly. Do not pump the
brake. This will result in reduced
braking performance.
CAUTION
(1)
Even the ABS can not prevent the
natural laws of physics from act-
ing on the vehicle. It cannot for
instance avoid accidents that may
result from excessive speed on
bends or following another vehicle
too closely or aquaplaning. It
should remain the driver’s task to
observe safety precautions to
judge speeds and brake applica-
tions correctly in such condi-
tions.
(2)
Be sure to use tyres of the same
type and size on four wheels.
If tyre types or sizes are mixed,
ABS may not function normally.
(3)
Never install a limited slip differ-
ential, which is not MITSUBISHI
Genuine parts, as the ABS may
not function normally.
Please consult an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer.
I24A073A
Warning lampThe ABS warning lamp should illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned“ON”, and
should go off in a few seconds.
CAUTION
If the warning lamp stays on or does
not illuminate when you start the
vehicle, it indicates that the ABS is
not functioning and that only the
standard brake system is in opera-
tion. (In this condition the standard
hydraulic brake system will still
function.) Please contact your near-
est authorized MITSUBISHI dealer for
inspection.

40km/h (25 mph) or less.
WARNING
For vehicles with automatic trans-
mission, although the auto-speed
control can be turned off by mov-
ing the selector lever to the“N”
(NEUTRAL) position, never move the
selector lever to the“N”(NEUTRAL)
position while driving.
You would have no engine braking
and could occur a serious accident.
I10A124A
To resume the set speedIf the speed memory has not been erased,
resume the previously set speed by pull-
ing the auto-speed control lever up while
driving at a speed of 40 km/h (25 mph) or
higher.
Under either of the following conditions,
however, using the switch does not allow
you to resume the previously set speed. In
these situations, repeat the speed setting
procedure:
(1) The ignition switch is turned OFF.
(2) The main switch is turned OFF.
MITSUBISHI active stability &
traction control system
(M-ASTC)*
EI19A-Fa
The MITSUBISHI active stability & trac-
tion control system (M-ASTC) takes over-
all control of the anti-lock brake system,
active stability control system and active
traction control system to maintain the vehi-
cle’s stability and traction. Please read this
section in conjunction with the page on the
anti-lock brake system, active stability con-
trol system and active traction control sys-
tem.
Anti−lock brake system (ABS)→P. 5−45
Active stability control system→P.5-58
Active traction control system→P.5-60
CAUTION
•Do not over−rely on the M-ASTC.
Ever when the M-ASTC is operat-
ing, there are limits to how far it can
ensure vehicle stability; reckless
driving may lead to accidents.
Always drive carefully, taking
account of the road conditions.
•Be sure to use the same specified
type and size of tyre on all 4
wheels. Otherwise, there is a pos-
sibility that the M-ASTC will not
work properly.

CAUTION
(1) If the tyres have arrows (A) indi-
cating the correct direction of
rotation, swap the front and rear
tyres on the left-hand side of the
vehicle and the front and rear
tyres on the right-hand side of
the vehicle separately. Keep
each tyre on its original side of
the vehicle. When fitting the
tyres, make sure the arrows
point in the direction in which
the wheels will turn when the
vehicle moves forward. Any tyre
whose arrow points in the wrong
direction will not perform to its
full potential.
(2) Avoid the combined use of dif-
ferent types of tyres.
This can affect driving safety.
Snow tyres
EL12A-DC
The use of snow tyres is recommended for
driving on snow and ice. To preserve driv-
ing stability, mount snow tyres of the same
size and tread pattern on all four wheels.
Snow tyres worn more than 50% are no
longer suitable for use as snow tyres.
Snow tyres which do not meet specifica-
tions must not be used.
CAUTION
Observe permissible maximum
speed for your snow tyres and the
legal speed limit.
NOTE
(1) The laws and regulations concerning
snow tyres (driving speed, required
use, type, etc.) vary. Find out and fol-
low the laws and regulations in driv-
ing area.
(2) If flange nuts are used on your vehicle,
change to tapered nuts when steel
wheels are used.
Tyre chains
EL23AOI
On 4WD vehicles in which the driving
power is distributed preferentially the rear
wheels, ensure that the tyre chains are fit-
ted on the rear.
Use only tyre chains which are designed for
use with the tyres mounted on the vehicle:
use of the incorrect size or type of chain
could result in damage to the vehicle body.
Before fitting tyre chains, please consult
your authorized MITSUBISHI dealer. The
maximum chain height is as follows.
Tyre size Wheel size Max. chain height
