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

CAUTION
(2) When luggage is loaded onto the
vehicle, please make sure to
drive slowly and avoid exces-
sive maneuvers such as sud-
den braking or quick turning.
In addition, place the luggage on
the carrier so that its weight is
distributed evenly with the heavi-
est items on the bottom. Do not
load items that are wider than
the roof carrier.
The additional weight on the roof
could heighten the vehicle’s cen-
tre of gravity and affect the
vehicle handling characteris-
tics.
As a result, driving errors or
emergency maneuvers could
lead to a loss of control and
result in an accident.
(3) Before driving and after travel-
ling a short distance, always
check the load to make sure it is
securely fastened to the roof
carrier.
Check periodically during your
travel that the load remains
secure. If the load is not secure,
it could fall from the vehicle and
damage your vehicle, another
vehicle or create road hazard.NOTE
(1) To prevent wind noise or reduction in
gas mileage, remove the roof carrier
when not in use.
(2) Before using an automatic car wash,
check with the attendant to deter-
mine if the roof carrier should be
removed.
(3) Be sure that adequate clearance is
maintained for raising the sunroof when
installing a roof carrier. (For vehicle with
sunroof)

(4) Switch off the engine if you stop for a
short sleep. If the engine is left run-
ning while you sleep, unexpected
vehicle operation or other accidents
may be caused by unconsciously mov-
ing the shift lever (selector lever on
automatic transmission vehicles) or
pressing the accelerator pedal. If you
inadvertently keep the accelerator
pedal pressed, the engine may over-
heat or the engine, exhaust pipe, etc.
may be abnormally overheated, result-
ing in an accidental fire. If poorly ven-
tilated, there is a risk of poisoning by
exhaust gases.
(5) Prevent children from playing in the lug-
gage compartment. It is illegal to allow
them to play there while the vehicle is
moving.
(6) When loading luggage, be careful not
to load above the height of seats. This
is dangerous not only because rear-
ward vision will be obstructed, but also
the luggage may projected into the
passenger compartment under hard
braking.

CAUTION
(1) Do not stack the luggage above
the seatback height.
Secure the luggage firmly.
Otherwise, serious accidents
could result due to restricted
rear vision or unrestrained
objects entering the passenger
compartment during sudden
braking.
(2) Make sure that the seat is oper-
ated by an adult. If it is oper-
ated by a child, an unexpected
accident might occur.

ing the seat, be sure not to catch
your hand or leg.

Adjustment of the heightAdjust the head restraint height so that the
centre of the restraint is as close as pos-
sible to eye level to reduce the chance of
injury in the event of collision. Any per-
son too tall for the restraint to reach their
seated eye level, should adjust the restraint
as high as possible.
To raise the head restraint, move it upward.
To lower the restraint, move it downward
while pushing the height adjusting knob (A)
in the direction of the arrow. After adjust-
ment, push the head restraint downward
and make sure that it is locked.

are correctly adjusted as shown in the illus-
tration, and also lift the head restraints to
ensure that they do not come out of the

WARNING
It is dangerous to drive with incor-
rectly adjusted head restraints or
without head restraints installed;
always have them correctly fitted
when using the vehicle. Failure to do
so could cause serious injury if
involved in an accident.
G26B033A
CAUTION
The head restraints for the seats dif-
fer in shape and size. When install-
ing head restraints, make sure the
head restraints are fitted in their
respective seats.
Seat belts
EG28ABMa
To protect you and your passengers in the
event of an accident, it is most important
that the seat belts are worn correctly when
you drive.
The front seat belts have pre-tensioners.
These belts are used the same way as
conventional seat belts.
Refer to“Pre-tensioner seat belt system”on
page 3-56.
WARNING
(1) Never wear the shoulder por-
tion of the seat belt under the
arm or other position which is
incorrect.
(2) One seat belt should be used by
only one person. Doing other-
wise can be dangerous.
(3) The seat belt will provide its
wearer with maximum protec-
tion if the recliner seatback is
placed in fully upright position.
When the seatback is reclined,
there is greater risk that the pas-
senger will slide under the belt,
especially in a forward impact
accident, and may be injured by
the belt or by striking the instru-
ment panel or seatbacks.
