2016 MITSUBISHI SHOGUN warning light

CAUTIONlIf the diesel preheat indication lamp comes
on after the engine is started, the engine speed may not rise above the idling speedbecause of fuel freezing. In this case, keep
the engine idling for about ten minutes, then turn off the ignition switch and immediately
turn it on again to confirm that the diesel
preheat indication lamp is off.NOTEl If the engine is cold, the diesel preheat indi-
cation lamp is on for a longer time.
l When the engine has not been started within
about 5 seconds after the diesel preheat indi- cation lamp went out, return the ignition
switch to the “LOCK” position. Then, turn
the switch to the “ON” position to preheat the engine again.
l When the engine is warm, the diesel preheat
indication lamp does not come on even if the
ignition switch is placed in the “ON” posi-
tion.Fuel filter indication lamp (die-
sel-powered vehicles)
E00509901337
This indication lamp illumi-
nates when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position and goes off after
the engine has started. If it lights up while the engine is
running, it indicates that water has accumula-
ted inside the fuel filter; if this happens, re- move the water from the fuel filter. Refer to
“ Removal of water from the fuel filter (die- sel-powered vehicles only) ” on page 8-06.
When the lamp goes out, you can resume
driving. If it either does not go out or comes on from time to time, we recommend you to
have the vehicle inspected.

1- Firmly depress and hold the brake pedal,then pull the lever up without pushing
the button at the end of hand grip.
CAUTIONl When you intend to apply the parking brake,
firmly press the brake pedal to bring the ve-hicle to a complete stop before pulling theparking brake lever. Pulling the parking brake lever with the vehicle moving could
make the rear wheels lock up, thereby mak- ing the vehicle unstable. It could also make
the parking brake malfunction.NOTEl Apply sufficient force to the parking brake
lever to hold the vehicle stationary after the foot brake is released.NOTEl If the parking brake does not hold the vehi-
cle stationary after the foot brake is released,
have your vehicle checked immediately.
To release the parking brake
1- Firmly depress and hold the brake pedal,
then pull the lever up slightly.
2- Push the button at the end of hand grip.
3- Lower the lever fully.
CAUTIONl Before driving, be sure that the parking
brake is fully released and brake warning
lamp is off.
If a vehicle is driven without releasing the
parking brake, the brake will be overheated, resulting in ineffective braking and possible
brake failure.CAUTIONl If the brake warning lamp does not extin-
guish when the parking brake is fully re- leased, the brake system may be abnormal.
Have your vehicle checked immediately.
For details, refer to “Brake warning lamp” on page 5-10.Parking
E00600601097

or “R” (Reverse) position for vehicles with
M/T , or set the selector lever to “P” (PARK)
position on A/T vehicles.
Parking on a hill
To prevent the vehicle from rolling, follow these procedures:
Parking on a downhill slope
Turn the front wheels towards the kerb and move the vehicle forward until the kerb side
wheel gently touches the kerb.
Apply the parking brake and place the gear- shift lever into the “R” (Reverse) position
(with M/T) or the selector lever into the “P”
(PARK) position (with A/T).
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
Parking
6-06OVWE16E1Starting and driving6

CAUTIONlDo not remove the ignition key from the ig-
nition switch while driving. The steeringwheel will be locked, causing loss of con-
trol.
l If the engine is stopped while driving, the
brake servomechanism will cease to function and braking efficiency will deteriorate. Also,
the power steering system will not function
and it will require greater manual effort to
operate the steering.
l Do not leave the key in the “ON” position
for a long time when the engine is not run-
ning, doing so will cause the battery to be discharged.
l Do not turn the key to the “START” position
when the engine is running, doing so could damage the starter motor.Steering wheel lock
E00601500298
To lock
Remove the key at the “LOCK” position.
Turn the steering wheel until it is locked.
To unlock
Turn the key to the “ACC” position while
moving the steering wheel slightly right and left.
CAUTIONl Remove the key when leaving the vehicle.
In some countries, it is prohibited to leave the key in the vehicle when parked.Starting
E00601600811
Tips for starting
l Do not operate the starter motor continu-
ously longer than 10 seconds; doing so
could run down the battery. If the engine
does not start, turn the ignition key back to “LOCK” position, wait a few seconds,and then try again. Trying repeatedly with the starter motor still turning will
damage the starter mechanism.
WARNINGl Never run the engine in a closed or poorly
ventilated area any longer than is needed to move your vehicle in or out of the area.Carbon monoxide gases are odourless and
can be fatal.CAUTIONl Never attempt to start the engine by pushing
or pulling the vehicle.
l Do not run the engine at high rpm or drive
the vehicle at high speed until the engine has had a chance to warm up.
l Release the ignition key as soon as the en-
gine starts to avoid damaging the starter mo-
tor.

NOTElWhen the engine is warm, the diesel preheat
indication lamp does not come on even if the
ignition key is placed in the “ON” position.
Start the engine by turning the ignition key
right to the “START” position.
7. Turn the ignition key to the “START”
position without depressing the accelera- tor pedal, and release it when the engine
starts.
Fuel injection amount learning
process (diesel-powered vehi-cles)
E00616000044
To keep exhaust emissions and engine noise low, the engine very occasionally performs a
learning process for the fuel injection
amount.
The engine sounds slightly different from
usual while the learning process is taking place. The change in the engine sound does
not indicate a fault.
NOx trap catalyst
(dieselpowered vehicles)* E00649200020
A NOx (nitrogen oxide) trap catalyst absorbs
the NOx contained in the exhaust gas of the diesel engine.
To maintain the NOx absorbing function, the
fuel is supplied regularly to the catalyst while
driving, and the catalyst reduces NOx to harmless N2 (nitrogen).
The bar graph of momentary fuel consump-
tion in the centre information display and en- gine sound change while NOx is being
purged automatically by the catalyst. These
do not indicate a fault.Diesel particulate filter
(DPF)* E00619800027
The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a devicethat captures most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust emissions of the diesel engine. The DPF automatically burns away trapped PM during vehicle operation. Under
certain driving conditions, however, the DPF is not able to burn away all of the trapped PM
and, as a result, an excessive amount of PM accumulates inside it.
WARNINGl The DPF reaches very high temperatures.
Do not park your vehicle in areas where combustible materials such as dry grass
or leaves can come in contact with a hot exhaust system since a fire could occur.CAUTIONl Do not use any type of fuel or engine oil that
is not specified for your vehicle. Also, do not use any moisture-removing agent or oth-
er fuel additive. Such substances could have a detrimental effect on the DPF.
Refer to “Fuel selection” on page 2-02 and
“Engine oil” on page 10-04.NOTEl To minimize the likelihood of excessive ac-
cumulation of PM, try to avoid driving for long periods at low speeds and repeatedly
driving short distances.

CAUTION•A/T fluid temperature warning lamp illu-
minates.
Refer to “When the A/T fluid temperature
warning lamp comes on” on page 6-23.WARNINGl When attempting to rock your vehicle out
of a stuck position, be sure that the area
around the vehicle is clear of people and physical objects. The rocking motion may
cause the vehicle to suddenly launch for- ward or backward, causing injury or damage to nearby people or objects.NOTEl Avoid sudden braking, acceleration, and
turning; such operations could result in thevehicle becoming stuck.
l If the vehicle becomes stuck in sandy or
muddy roads, it can often be moved with a
rocking motion. Move the selector lever rhythmically between the “D” (DRIVE) and
“R” (REVERSE) position (with M/T, be-
tween 1 st
and Reverse), while applying
slight pressure to the accelerator pedal.
l It is recommended to start the vehicle with
parking brake partially, but not completely, applied by slightly pulling the parking brake lever.
After the vehicle has become free, do not forget to release the parking brake.NOTEl If it is necessary to drive in extremely mud-
dy conditions, the use of tyre chains is rec-
ommended. Because the extent of muddy conditions is difficult to judge and the vehi- cle could become bogged down very deeply,
operation should be at a low speed. If possi-
ble, get out of the vehicle and check the con-
ditions ahead before proceeding.
l Driving over roads in coastal areas or roads
on which anti-skid preparations have been
spread can cause rust on the vehicle; wash
the vehicle thoroughly as soon as possible after such use.
Climbing sharp grades
Set the transfer shift lever to the “4LLc” po-
sition to maximize the engine torque.
WARNINGl Go straight up. Do not try to traverse
across a steep slope.
l If you begin to lose traction, ease off the
accelerator pedal and gently turn the steering wheel alternatively left and right
to regain adequate traction again.NOTEl Choose as smooth a slope as possible with
few stones or other obstacles.NOTEl Before attempting to drive up the slope,
walk it up to confirm that the vehicle canhandle the grade.
Descending sharp grades
Set the transfer shift lever to the “4LLc” po-
sition, use the engine brake (downshifting)
and descend slowly.
WARNINGl Avoid snaking down a sharp grade. De-
scend the grade as straight as possible.NOTEl When descending a sharp grade, if the
brakes are applied suddenly because of an
obstacle encountered, control of the vehicle
could be lost. Before descending the slope,
walk it down and confirm the path.
l Before descending a grade, it is necessary to
choose the appropriate gear. Avoid changing
gears or depressing the clutch while de- scending the grade.
