After driving on icy roads
E00618800219
After driving on snowy roads, remove any
snow and ice which may have become ad-
hered to the wheel areas.
When doing this, be careful not to damage
the wheel speed sensors (A) and cables loca-
ted at each wheel on vehicles equipped with
an ABS.

Electric power steering
system (EPS)
E00629201294
The power steering system operates while the
Plug-in Hybrid EV System is operating.
It helps reduce the effort needed to turn the
steering wheel.
The power steering system has mechanical
steering capability in case the power assist is
lost. If the power assist is lost for some rea-
son, you will still be able to steer your vehi-
cle, but you will notice it takes much more
effort to steer. If this happens, have your ve-
hicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
WARNING
l
Do not stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV Sys-
tem while the vehicle is moving. Stopping
the Plug-in Hybrid EV System would
make the steering wheel extremely hard
to turn, possibly resulting in an accident.
NOTE
l
During repeated full-lock turning of the
steering wheel (for example, while you are
manoeuvring the vehicle into a parking
space), a protection function may be activa-
ted to prevent overheating of the power
steering system. This function will make the
steering wheel gradually harder to turn. In
this event, limit your turning of the steering
wheel for a while. When the system has
cooled down, the steering action will return
to normal.
NOTE
l
If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi-
cle is stationary with the headlamps on, the
headlamps may become dim. This behaviour
is not abnormal. The headlamps will return
to their original brightness after a short
while.
Electric power steering system
warning display
If there is a malfunction in the system, the
warning display will appear on the informa-
tion screen in the multi information display.
CAUTION
l
If the warning display appears while the
Plug-in Hybrid EV System is operating,
have the vehicle inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point as soon as possible.
It may become harder to turn the steering
wheel.
