2. Arm the system as explained in “Armed stage”.
3. Make sure that the theft-alarm indicator comes on and
flashes for approximately 20 seconds.
4. Wait a few seconds and then unlock the driver’s side door
by using the inside door lock knob and open the door.
5. Check to be sure that the horn (the siren for vehicles
equipped with the interior alarm sensor) sounds intermit-
tently and the headlights blink on and off when a door is
opened.

stopped will run down the battery. Use the window
switches only while the engine is running. 1- Open (down)

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.
Hydraulic power steering system (HPS)
(if so
equipped)
N00547100052
Electric power steering system (EPS)
(if so
equipped)
N00547200053
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.
