air bleeding MITSUBISHI SHOGUN 2017 Owner's Manual (in English)

NOTElWhen the vehicle has been refuelled, the
pointer in the fuel gauge takes a short while
to stabilize.
l The fuel gauge will not give an accurate in-
dication if the vehicle is refuelled with the ignition switch in the “ON” position.
l When the engine on diesel-powered vehicles
fails to operate due to running out of fuel, it may sometimes be difficult to start after re-
fueling. This is due to air entering the fuel
system. Therefore, air must be bled from the system. (Refer to “Bleeding the fuel system” on page 8-06.)
Fuel lid mark

tank filler door is located on the right side of the vehicle.

fuel level is getting low (approx. 10 litres )
with the ignition switch in the “ON” position.

of fuel in the tank, the low fuel warning lamp may indicate incorrectly.Water temperature gauge
E00500801519

engine coolant temperature when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position.
CAUTIONl If the indication needle enters the H zone
while the engine is running, it indicates that
the engine is possibly overheating. Immedi-
ately park your vehicle in a safe place and make the necessary corrections. (Refer to“Engine overheating” on page 8-04.)

Bleeding the fuel system(diesel-powered vehicles
only) E00800700149
The fuel system should be bled to remove air
as described below if the fuel supply is ex- hausted during travel.

Pump the hand pump (A) at the top of the fuel filter until the hand pump becomes stiff.
Then try again to start the engine.
If the engine does not start, repeat the process
above.Removal of water from the
fuel filter (diesel-powered
vehicles only) E00800800140
If the fuel filter indication lamp in the instru- ment panel illuminates during driving, it indi-
cates that water has accumulated in the fuel filter. If this occurs, remove the water as de-
scribed below. 1. Loosen the drain plug (A) at the bottom
of the fuel filter.2. Operate the hand pump (B) slowly 6 or 7
times in order to force the water out
through the drain plug.
3. Tighten the drain plug when water no
longer comes out.
4. Bleed the air in the fuel system. (Refer to “Bleeding the fuel system” onpage 8-06.)
5. Check to be sure that the fuel filter indi-
cation lamp illuminates when the igni-
tion switch is turned to “ON”, and that it goes off when the engine is started. If in
doubt, we recommend you to have your vehicle inspected.
CAUTIONl Do not smoke or have any other open flame
near the vehicle while bleeding the fuel sys- tem.
