oil type MITSUBISHI SHOGUN 2003 Owner's Manual (in English)

NOTE
(1) In certain cases immediately after the engine hasbeen started or when the brake pedal is
depressed repeatedly, a noise generated by
operation of brake devices may be heard com-
ing from the engine compartment. This type of
noise is normal and is no need for concern in
fact, it indicates that the corresponding devices
are operating normally. (This applies to vehicles
fitted with anti-lock brake system)
(2) On vehicles equipped with anti-lock brake sys-
tem, the brake system uses brake fluid pres-
surized by the pump.
Please refer to the “Brake system ”on page 5-44.Oil pressure warning lamp - red
ED25A-Ah
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is
turned “ON ”, and goes off after the engine has
started. If it illuminates while the engine is run-
ning, the oil pressure is too low.
If the warning lamp illuminates while the engine is
running, turn the engine off and contact your near-
est authorized MITSUBISHI dealer for inspection.
CAUTION
(1)If this lamp illuminates when the engine oil level is not low, contact your nearest autho-
rized MITSUBISHI dealer for inspection.
(2)This warning lamp does not indicate the amount of oil in the crankcase. This must
be determined by checking the oil level on
the dipstick, while the engine is switched
off.
(3)If you continue driving with low engine oil level or with this warning lamp illumi-
nated, engine seizure may occur.
NOTE
The oil pressure warning lamp should not be treated
as an indication of the engine ’s oil level. The oil level
must be checked using the dipstick.

Chrome parts
EK06A-Aa
In order to prevent spots and corrosion of
chrome parts, wash with water, dry thor-
oughly, and apply a special protective coat-
ing. This should be done more frequently
in winter.Aluminium wheels*
EK35A-Af
A protective coating is provided over the
aluminium type wheels.
Clean aluminium wheels with a cleaner
designed for use on aluminium and apply
an appropriate protection agent.
NOTE
(1) When cleaning aluminium type wheels,
do not use abrasive cleaners. Wheels
exposed to sea water or road chemi-
cals should be cleaned as soon as
possible.
(2) Brushes may damage the aluminium
wheel surface. Always use a sponge,
chamois leather, etc.
(3) Do not apply hot water directly from the
steam cleaner or similar to the wheel
surface.
Window glass
EK10A-E
Window glass can normally be cleaned
using only a sponge and water.
Glass cleaner can be used to remove oil,
grease, dead insects, etc. After washing the
glass, wipe dry with a clean, dry, soft cloth.
Never use the same cloth to wipe the win-
dow glass as would be used to wipe the
paintwork; wax from the painted surfaces
could adhere to the glass and reduce its
transparency and visibility.
NOTE
To clean the inside of the backdoor win-
dow, always use a soft cloth and wipe the
window glass along the demister heater
element so as not to cause damage.Wiper blades
EK11A-Aa
Use a soft cloth and glass cleaner to
remove grease, dead insects, etc., from the
wiper blades. Replace the wiper blades
when they no longer wipe properly (Refer
to page 9-19).
Cleaning the sunroof*
EK30A-Ab
Clean the inside of the sunroof with a soft
cloth. Hard deposits should be wiped away
with a cloth dipped in warm, neutral deter-
gent solution. Wipe away the solution with
a sponge dipped in fresh water.
NOTE
The surface treatment on the inside of the
glass may be removed if a hard cloth or
organic solvent (benzine, thinner, etc.) is
used.

To raise the vehicle1. Remove the jack and jack handle.
2. Using the jack handle, turn the release
valve (F) clockwise until it reaches a
stop.
N22A206A
3. Insert the jack handle in the bracket of
the jack and hook the notch (G) pro-
vided on the jack handle end on the
claw (H) of the bracket.
4. Operate the jack handle up and down
and confirm that the ram contacts the
appropriate jacking point.
5. Operate the jack handle up and down,
slowly jack up the vehicle until the tyre
is slightly off the ground.
NOTE
This jack is a two-stage expansion type.
N22A207A
To lower the vehicle1. Fit the notch (I) provided on the jack
handle end to the valve (J) of the jack.
2. Slowly turn the jack handle anticlock-
wise to loosen the release valve.
CAUTION
(1) Turn the jack handle slowly. Low-
ering the vehicle rapidly can
cause the jack to move out of
place, resulting in serious injury.
(2) If the release valve is loosened
by turning it 2 or more times in
the anticlockwise direction, oil
will leak and the jack cannot be
used.

Type 2On the aluminium wheel type vehicle (Type
2), temporarily tighten the wheel nuts by
hand until the flanges of the wheel nuts
come into contact with the wheel.
NOTE
(1) Flange nuts (Type 2) can be tempo-
rarily used on the steel wheel, but
return to the original wheel and tyre as
soon as possible.
(2) If all four wheels on vehicles with flange
nuts (Type 2) are changed to steel
wheels, use tapered nuts (Type 1).
CAUTION
Never apply oil to either wheel bolts
or nuts, as it will cause them to over-
tighten.
N24A286A
9. Lower the vehicle slowly and then
tighten the nuts crisscross in two or
three steps until each nut has been
tightened securely.
Tightening torque:
98 to 118 Nm
(Achieved by applying a force of 370 to
430 N at the end of the wheel nut
wrench supplied with the vehicle)
CAUTION
Never use extra force by your foot to
the wheel nut wrench or by using a
pipe extension as you can over-
tighten the nut.
10. Lower and remove the jack and stow
the jack, jack handle, wheel nut wrench
and flat tyre wheel. Have the flat tyre
repaired as soon as possible.
N24A100A
11. Check tyre inflation pressure. The infla-
tion pressure specification is shown on
the label. Refer to the illustration.

6. Insert a new fuse of the same capac-
ity by using the fuse puller and insert the
fuse at the same place in the fuse box.
CAUTION
(1) If the newly inserted fuse blows
again after a short time, have the
electric system checked by an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer to
find the cause and rectify it.
(2) Never use a fuse with a capac-
ity larger than that specified or
any substitute, such as wire, foil,
etc.; doing so will cause the cir-
cuit wiring to heat up and could
cause a fire.
Replacement of lamp bulbs
EN10A-Ab
Before replacing a bulb, ensure the lamp
is off. Do not touch the glass part of the
new bulb with your bare fingers; the skin oil
left on the glass will evaporate when the
bulb gets hot and the vapor will con-
dense on the reflector and dim the sur-
face.
N10B307A
Bulb capacity
EN10BOIb
A bulb should only be replaced with a new
bulb of the same rating and type. The des-
ignation can be found on the base of the
bulb.
