The power steering system operates while theengine is running. It helps reduce the effortneeded to turn the steering wheel.The power steering sy
stem has mechanical
steering capability in case the power assist islost. 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 moreeffort to steer. If this happens, have your vehi-cle inspected at an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice.

WA R N I N GDo not stop the engine while the vehicle ismoving. Stopping the engine would makethe steering wheel extremely hard to turn,possibly resulting
in an accident.
NOTE
During repeated full-lock turning of thesteering wheel (for example, while you aremanoeuvring the vehicle into a parkingspace), a protection f
unction may be acti-
vated to prevent overheating of the powersteering system. This f
unction will make the
steering wheel graduall
y harder to turn. In
this event, limit your turning of the steeringwheel for a while. When the system hascooled down, the steering effort will returnto normal.If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi-cle is stationary with the headlights on, theheadlights may become
dim. This behavior
is not abnormal. The he
adlights will return to
their original brightness after a short while.
