After driving on icy roads
E00618800219
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.
Electric power steering
system (EPS) E00629201294
The power steering system operates while thePlug-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 ve- hicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.WARNINGl 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.NOTEl 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 wheel for a while. When the system has
cooled down, the steering action will return to normal.NOTEl 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 shortwhile.
Electric power steering system
warning display
If there is a malfunction in the system, the warning display will appear on the informa-
tion screen in the multi information display.
CAUTIONl If the warning display appears while the
Plug-in Hybrid EV System is operating,
have the vehicle inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point as soon as possible.
It may become harder to turn the steering wheel.

Sensor system*E00647700047
When parking in a garage or during parallel parking, these sensors alert the driver to any
objects near the vehicle and their distance, through a buzzer and the sensor display on
the information screen in the multi-informa- tion display.CAUTIONl The sensor system assists you in determining
the approximate distance between the vehi-
cle and any objects. It has limitations in terms of detectable areas and objects, and
may not properly detect some objects. Therefore, do not place excessive confidence
in the sensor system, and operate the vehicle
as carefully as you would a vehicle without this system.
l Make sure to check the surroundings with
your own eyes to ensure safety. Do not oper-
ate the vehicle by relying on the sensor sys-
tem alone.Obstacle detection areas
E00647800035
The detection areas of the corner and back
sensors are limited to those shown in the il-
lustration. Moreover, the sensors are unable to detect low or thin objects or objects nearthe front or rear bumper. Thus, make sure to check the surroundings as you operate the ve-
hicle in a safe manner.
Corner and back sensor loca- tions
There are 8 sensors (A) in the front and rearbumper.
Detection areas
Depending on whether the vehicle is equip-
ped with a towing bar, you can change the sensor system between the standard modeand the towing bar mode. The towing bar
mode changes the system to exclude the area in which the towing bar is mounted from the
detection areas.
Vehicles without a towing bar
The detection areas are within approximately 60 cm (A) from the front and corner sensors and 150 cm (B) from the back sensors.
