tow MITSUBISHI SHOGUN 2003 (in English) Owner's Guide

(7) Turn on the hazard warning lamps if
required by law. (Follow the local driv-
ing laws and regulations.)
(8) During towing make sure that close
contact is maintained between the driv-
ers of both vehicles, and that the
vehicles travel at low speed. Avoid
abrupt starting or stopping.
WARNING
Avoid sudden braking, sudden accel-
eration and sharp turning ; such
operation could cause damage to the
towing hooks or the tow rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured
as a result.
CAUTION
When going down a long slope, the
brakes may overheat, reducing effec-
tiveness. Have your vehicle towed on
a trailer.(9) Towing should only be done by a pro-
fessional tow service if it will involve
towing on winding roads, hills or in
heavy traffic. If you have any doubts,
use a professional tow service.
(10) When the front towing hooks are used,
be very careful so that the rope may
not cause damage to the body.
CAUTION
To prevent entry of exhaust gas from
the towing vehicle, set your air selec-
tion switch to the recirculation posi-
tion.
N25A337A
If your vehicle tows another vehicle

CAUTION
[For super select 4WD II]
When you are going to tow another
vehicle, move the transfer shift lever
to“4H”position.
Selecting“2H”drive may increase
the differential oil temperature, result-
ing in possible damage to the driv-
ing system.
Further, the drive train will be sub-
jected to excessive loading possi-
bly leading to oil leakage, component
seizure, or other serious faults.
NOTE
Your vehicle should only be used to tow
another vehicle if the weight of the other
vehicle is less than your vehicle.
