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 an
authorised MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.
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
E00618800206
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 authorised MITSUBISHI
MOTORS dealer.
WARNING
Rear
 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
E00629201395
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 headlamps on, the
headlamps may become dim. This behaviour
is not abnormal. The headlamps will return
to their original brightness after a short
while.
