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.
