coolant 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
The fuel lid mark (A) indicates that the fuel
tank filler door is located on the right side of the vehicle.
Low fuel warning lamp
E00508101778
The warning lamp (A) comes on when the
fuel level is getting low (approx. 10 litres )
with the ignition switch in the “ON” position.
Refuel as soon as possible.NOTEl On inclines or curves, due to the movement
of fuel in the tank, the low fuel warning lamp may indicate incorrectly.Water temperature gauge
E00500801519
The water temperature gauge indicates the
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.)
While driving, care should always be taken
to maintain the normal operating tempera- ture.

5.After turning the ignition key to the
“ON” position, make certain that all
warning lamps are functioning properly before starting the engine.
6. Turn the ignition key to the “START”
position without depressing the accelera-
tor pedal, and release it when the engine starts.NOTEl A ticking noise may be heard after starting
the engine. This is not an abnormal condi-tion. The noise will disappear after a shorttime of engine running.
If the ticking noise continues after the en-
gine is warmed up, we recommend you to have your vehicle checked.
When it is difficult to start the
engine
After several attempts, you may experience that the engine still does not start. 1. Make sure that all electric devices, such
as lamps, air conditioning blower and
rear window demister, are turned off.
2. While depressing the brake pedal, press
the accelerator pedal halfway and hold it
there, then crank the engine. Release the
accelerator pedal, immediately after the
engine starts.
3. If the engine still will not start, the en-
gine could be flooded with too much
petrol. While depressing the brake pedal, push the accelerator pedal all the way
down and hold it there, then crank the
engine for 5 to 6 seconds. Return the ig- nition switch to the “LOCK” position
and release the accelerator pedal. Wait a few seconds, and then crank the engine
again for 5 to 6 seconds while depress-
ing the brake pedal, but do not push the accelerator pedal. Release the ignition
key if the engine starts. If the engine
fails to start, repeat these procedures. If the engine still will not start, we recom-
mend you to have the vehicle checked.
Using the MIVEC engine
The MIVEC engine automatically switches its intake-valve control between a low-speed mode and a high-speed mode in accordancewith the driving conditions for maximum en-
gine performance.
NOTEl To protect the engine, the high-speed mode
may not be selected while the engine coolanttemperature is low. In such a case, the en-
gine revolutions do not rise to over
5,000 rpm even if the accelerator pedal is depressed.Starting the engine (diesel-
powered vehicles)
E00601801331
1. Insert the ignition key and fasten the seat
belt.
2. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
3. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
4. Make sure the selector lever is in the “P”
(PARK) position.
5. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” posi-
tion.
The diesel preheat indication lamp will
first illuminate, and then after a short
time go out, indicating that preheating is completed.
NOTEl If the engine is cold, the diesel preheat indi-
cation lamp is on for a longer time.

*: Front of the vehicle
WARNINGl Be careful not to get your hands or clothes
caught in the cooling fan.
4. After the engine coolant temperature has
dropped to the normal temperature, stop the engine.
5. Check the coolant level in the reserve
tank (C).
WARNINGl If there is none, make sure that the engine
has cooled down before removing the ra-
diator cap (D), because hot steam or boil- ing water otherwise will gush from the filler port and may scald you.
6. Add coolant to the radiator and/or re-
serve tank if necessary. (Refer to the
“Maintenance” section.)
CAUTIONl Do not add coolant while the engine is hot.
Suddenly adding cold coolant could damage
the engine. Wait for the engine to cool
down, then add coolant a little at a time.
7. Examine the radiator hoses for coolant
leakage and the drive belt for looseness
or damage.
If there is anything wrong with the cool-
ing system or drive belt, we recommend
you to have it checked and repaired.

NOTElUse of additives is not recommended since
they may reduce the effectiveness of addi-
tives already included in the engine oil. It may result in failure of the mechanical as-
sembly.
Diesel-powered vehicles
l Select engine oil of the proper SAE vis-
cosity number according to the atmos-pheric temperature.
l Use engine oil conforming to the follow-
ing classification:
• ACEA classification: “For service C1, C2, C3 or C4”
• JASO classification: “For service DL-1”
If those classifications are not available,
contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
NOTEl Use of additives is not recommended since

tives already included in the engine oil. It may result in failure of the mechanical as-
sembly.Engine coolant
E01000503222
To check the coolant level
A translucent coolant reserve tank is locatedin the engine compartment.
The coolant level in this tank should be kept
between the “LOW” and “FULL” marks when measured while the engine is cold.
To add coolant
The cooling system is a closed system and
normally the loss of coolant should be very
slight. A noticeable drop in the coolant level
could indicate leakage. If this occurs, we rec- ommend you to have the system checked as
soon as possible.
If the level should drop below the “LOW” level on the reserve tank, open the lid and
add coolant.
Also, if the reserve tank is completely empty, remove the radiator cap and add coolant until
the level reaches the filler neck.
WARNINGl Do not open the radiator cap while the en-
gine is hot. The coolant system is under pressure and any hot coolant escaping
could cause severe burns.
Engine coolant

Anti-freeze
The engine coolant contains an ethylene gly-col anti-corrosion agent. The cylinder head
and water pump housing are cast aluminium
alloy, and periodic changing of the engine coolant is necessary to prevent corrosion of these parts.

Use “ MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
SUPER LONG LIFE COOLANT” or equiva- lent.
MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE Coolant
has excellent protection against corrosion and rust formation of all metals including alumi-
nium and can avoid blockages in the radiator, heater, cylinder head, engine block, etc.

Because of the necessity of this anti-corro-
sion agent, the coolant must not be replaced with plain water even in summer. The re-
quired concentration of anti-freeze differs de-
pending on the expected ambient tempera- ture.

Anti-freezeconcentra- tion %
303540455060CAUTIONl Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze
or any engine coolants mixed with alcohol
or methanol anti-freeze. The use of an im- proper anti-freeze can cause corrosion of the
aluminium components.
l For effective anti-corrosion and anti-freeze
performance, keep the anti-freeze concentra-tion within the range of 30 to 60 %.
Concentrations exceeding 60 % will result in
a reduction of both the anti-freeze and cool-
ing performance thus adversely affecting the
engine.
l Do not top up with water only.
During cold weather
The concentration should be checked before
the start of cold weather and anti-freeze add-
ed to the system if necessary to prevent dam-
age to engine and radiator due to freezing.
Washer fluid
E01000700656
Windscreen washer fluid
The windscreen washer fluid reservoir is inthe engine compartment.
Check the washer fluid level at regular inter-
vals and add washer fluid to reservoir if nec- essary.NOTEl The washer fluid container serves the wind-
screen and headlamps (if so equipped).

Fuel, engine coolant, oil and ex- haust gas leakage
Look under the body of your vehicle to check
for fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust gas
leaks.
WARNINGl If you see a suspicious fuel leak or if you
smell fuel, do not operate the vehicle; we recommend you to call for assistance.
Exterior and interior lamp op-
eration
Operate the combination lamp switch to
check that all lamps are functioning properly.
If the lamps do not illuminate, the probable cause is a blown fuse or defective lamp bulb.
Check the fuses first. If there is no blown
fuses, check the lamp bulbs.
For information regarding the inspection and
replacement of the fuses and the lamp bulbs, refer to “Fuses” on page 10-18 and “Re-
placement of lamp bulbs” on page 10-23.
If the fuses and bulbs are all OK, we recom- mend you to have your vehicle checked and
repaired.
Meter, gauge and indicator/
warning lamps operation
Run the engine to check the operation of all meters, gauges, and indicator/warning lamps.
If there is anything wrong, we recommend you to have your vehicle inspected.
Hinges and latches lubrication
Check all latches and hinges, and, if necessa- ry, have them lubricated.
For cold and snowy weather
E01002800299
Ventilation slots
The ventilation slots in front of the wind-
screen should be kept clear of leaves or brushed clear after heavy snowfall, so that
the operation of the heating and ventilation
systems will not be impaired.
Weatherstripping
To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping
on the doors, bonnet, etc., they should be treated with silicone grease.
