engine MITSUBISHI SHOGUN 2003 Owner's Manual (in English)

During cold weatherThe capacity of the battery is reduced at
low temperatures. This is an inevitable
result of its chemical and physical proper-
ties. This is why a very cold battery, par-
ticularly one that is not fully charged
anyway, will only deliver a fraction of the
starter current which is normally avail-
able.
It is recommended that you have the bat-
tery checked by an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer before the start of cold
weather and, if necessary, have it charged.
This not only ensures reliable starting, but
a battery which is kept fully charged also
has a longer life.Disconnection and connectionTo disconnect the battery cable, stop the
engine, first disconnect the negative (-) ter-
minal and then the positive (+) terminal.
When connecting the battery, first con-
nect the positive (+) terminal and then the
negative (-) terminal.
WARNING
(1) Keep sparks, cigarettes, and
flames away from the battery
because the battery could
explode.
(2) The battery electrolyte is
extremely caustic. Do not allow
it to come in contact with your
eyes, skin, clothing, or the
painted surfaces of the vehicle.
Spilled electrolyte should be
flushed immediately with ample
amounts of water.
Irritation to eyes or skin from
contact with electrolyte requires
immediate medical attention.
(3) Ventilate when charging or using
the battery in an enclosed space.
CAUTION
(1) Never disconnect the battery
with the ignition switch in the
“ON” position; doing so could
damage the vehicle’s electrical
components.
(2) Never short-circuit the battery;
doing so could cause it to over-
heat and be damaged.
(3) Always wear protective eye
goggles when working near the
battery.
CAUTION
(4) If the battery is to be quick-
charged, first disconnect the bat-
tery cables.
(5) In order to prevent a short cir-
cuit, be sure to disconnect the
negative (-) terminal first.
(6) Keep it out of reach of chil-
dren.
NOTE
(1) Keep the terminals clean. After the bat-
tery is connected, apply terminal pro-
tection grease. To clean the terminals,
use lukewarm water.
(2) Check to see if the battery is securely
installed and cannot be moved dur-
ing travel. Also check each terminal for
tightness.
(3) When the vehicle is to be left unused
for a long period of time, remove the
battery and store it in a place where the
battery fluid will not freeze. The bat-
tery should be stored only in a fully
charged condition.

WARNING
(1) Take care in handling brake fluid
as it is harmful to the eyes and
may also cause damage to
painted surfaces. If fluid is
spilled, wipe it up as soon as
possible.
(2) Use only the specified brake
fluid.
Also, the additives in different
brands may result in a chemi-
cal reaction when mixed
together, so avoid mixing differ-
ent brands if possible.
(3) Normally, keep the reservoir tank
cap closed to prevent the brake
fluid from deteriorating.

CAUTION
(1) If your vehicle is equipped with
anti-lock brake system (ABS), in
order to ensure that the anti-lock
brake system (ABS) will oper-
ate correctly in situations where
tyre chains have been fitted,
drive in“4H”or“4L”for part
time 4WD, or in“4H”,“4HLc”or
“4LLc”for super select 4WD.
(2) Practice fitting the chains before
you need them. Don’t expect
help from other people in the
cold.
(3) Choose a clear straight stretch of
road where you can pull off and
still be seen while you are fit-
ting the chains.
(4) Do not fit chains before you need
them. This will wear out your
tyres and the road surface.
(5) After driving around 100-300
metres, stop and retighten the
chains.
(6) Care should be taken with
extremes of steering lock to pre-
vent possible contact between
the chains and the vehicle body.
(7) Drive carefully and do not
exceed 50 km/h (31 mph).
Remember, fitting chains is not
going to stop accidents from
happening.
CAUTION
( 8) When tyre chains are installed,
take care that they do not dam-
age the disc wheel or body.
( 9) An aluminium wheel can be
damaged by a tyre chain while
driving. When fitting a tyre
chain on an aluminium wheel,
take care that no part of the
chain and fitting can be
brought into contact with the
wheel disc.
(10) When installing or removing a
tyre chain, take care that hands
and other parts of your body
are not injured by the sharp
edges of the vehicle body.
(11) Install the chains only on the
rear tyres and tighten them as
tightly as possible with the
ends securely fastened.
NOTE
The laws and regulations concerning the
use of tyre chains vary. Find out and fol-
low the laws and regulations in your driv-
ing area.
In most countries, it is prohibited by law to
use tyre chains on roads without snow.
