Electric power steering system (EPS)
5-84 Features and controls

N00568401172
The power steering system operates while the
engine is running. 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 vehi-
cle inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice.
Warning light
Warning display
If there is a malfunction in the system, the
warning light will come on and the warning
display will appear on the information screen
in the multi-information display.
Under normal conditions, the warning light
comes on when the ignition switch is turned
to the “ON” position or the operation mode is
put in ON, and goes off after the engine has
started.

The Active stability control (ASC) takes
overall control of the anti-lock braking sys-
tem, traction control function and skid control
function to help maintain the vehicle’s control
and traction. Please read this section in con-
junction with the page on the anti-lock brak-
ing system, traction control function and skid
control function.

WARNING
Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is
moving. Stopping the engine would make
the steering wheel extremely hard to turn,
possibly resulting in an accident.
NOTE
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 acti-
vated 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 effort will return
to normal.
If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi-
cle is stationary with the headlights on, the
headlights may become dim. This behavior
is not abnormal. The headlights will return to
their original brightness after a short while.

possible. It may become harder to turn the
