Power steering system
N00518000307
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. If the
power assist is lost, you will notice it takes much more effort to
steer and that there is much more “free play” in the steering
wheel. If this happens, take your vehicle to an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
Cruise control
N00518300355
Cruise control is an automatic speed control system. It lets you
keep the same driving speed. Cruise control can be used at
speeds of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more. It is especially use-
ful for freeway driving. Cruise control does not work at speeds
below about 25 mph (40 km/h).
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 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.
