The power steering system operates while the
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
 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.
CAUTION
 Do not leave the steering wheel turned all the
way in one direction. This can cause damage
to the power steering system.
Active Stability & Traction
Control (ASTC)
*
CAUTION
 Do not over-rely on the ASTC. Even the
ASTC cannot prevent the natural laws of
physics from acting on the vehicle.
This system, like any other system, has lim-
its and cannot help you to maintain traction
and control of the vehicle in all circum-
stances. Reckless driving can lead to acci-
dents. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive
carefully. This means into account the traffic,
road and environmental conditions.

Be sure to use the same specified type and
size of tyre on all 4 wheels. Otherwise, the
ASTC may not work correctly.
 Do not install any aftermarket limited slip
differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The
active stability control function may stop
functioning properly.
NOTE
 An operation noise may be emitted from the
engine compartment in the following situa-
tions. The sound is associated with checking
the operations of the ASTC. At this time, you
may feel a shock from the brake pedal if you
depress it. These do not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
• When the ignition switch is set to the “ON”
position or the operation mode is put in ON.
• When the vehicle is driven for a while after
the engine is turned on.
