Electric Power Steering System (Eps) - Mitsubishi MOTORS Outlander PHEV 2018 Owner's Manual

The ABS and brake force distribution func-
tion may not work, so hard braking could
make the vehicle unstable.
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and contact a
certified Mitsubishi EV dealer.
NOTE
 The ABS warning light and brake warning
light (red) illuminate at the same time and
the warning displays appear alternately on
the information screen in the multi-informa-
tion display.
After driving on icy roads
After driving on snow or icy roads, remove
any snow and ice which may have be left
around the wheels. On vehicles that have an
ABS, be careful not to damage the wheel
speed sensors (A) or the cables located at
each wheel.

Electric power steering sys-
tem (EPS)
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 vehi-
cle inspected at a certified Mitsubishi EV
dealer.
WARNING
 Do not stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV System
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
 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.
