Electric Power Steering System (Eps) - Mitsubishi MOTORS Outlander PHEV 2017 Owner's Manual

Warning display
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 immediately
and contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
NOTE
l The ABS warning lamp and brake warning
lamp illuminate at the same time and the
warning displays appear alternately on the
information screen in the multi information
display.
After driving on icy roads
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.

It helps reduce the effort needed to turn the
steering wheel.

Electric power steering system (EPS)

The power steering system has mechanical
steering capability in case the power assist is
E00618800219
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
E00629201294
wheel for a while. When the system has
cooled down, the steering action will return
to normal.
