3 Power steering system
N00518000310
The power steering system operates while the engine is run-
ning. 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 reason, you will still be able to steer your vehicle, but
you will notice it takes much more effort to steer. If this hap-
pens, have your vehicle inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.

NOTEDuring 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 activated 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 steer-
ing effort will return to normal.
If you turn the steering wheel while the vehicle is station-
ary 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.
WA R N I N G
!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 acci-
dent.
CAUTION
!Do not leave the steering wheel turned all the way in
one direction. This can cause damage to the power
steering system.

sured.The initial (default) setting is “Auto reset mode”.
The display setting can be changed to the preferred units
(mph or km/h).
Refer to “Changing the function settings (With ignition
switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-202.
The average speed display memories for auto reset mode
and manual reset mode are erased if the battery is discon-
nected.

to the present.
There are 2 types of mode settings as follows.
For details on how to change the average fuel consumption dis-
play setting, refer to “Changing the function settings (With
ignition switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-202.

When the average fuel consumption is being displayed, if
you hold down the multi-information meter switch, these
calculations will be reset to zero.
When the ignition switch has been set to the “ACC” or
“LOCK” position for about 4 hours or more, the average

not be measured.
The initial (default) setting is “Auto reset mode”.
Average fuel consumption may vary depend on the driv-

actual fuel consumption may differ from the fuel con-
sumption displayed, so treat the fuel consumption dis-
played as just a rough guideline.
The average fuel consumption display memories for auto

is disconnected.
The display setting can be changed to the preferred units
{mpg (US), mpg (UK), L/100 km or km/L}.

a bar graph.
When the momentary fuel consumption surpasses the average
fuel consumption, the momentary fuel consumption is dis-
played with a green bar graph. (Type 2)
Be conscious of maintaining the momentary fuel consumption
above the average fuel consumption, it can help you drive with
the better fuel consumption.NOTEWhen the momentary fuel consumption cannot be mea-
sured, a bar graph is not shown.
The display setting can be changed to the preferred units
{mpg (US), mpg (UK), L/100 km or km/L}.
