Power steering system
N00518000206
The power steering system has mechanical steering capability
in case the power assist is lost. If the hydraulic pressure is
interrupted for some reason (such as engine stalling), 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 autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice.
Cruise control (if so equipped)
N00518300528
Cruise control is an automatic speed control system. It lets you
keep the same driving speed. Cruise control can be activated at
about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more. It is especially useful for
freeway driving. Cruise control does not work at speeds below
about 25 mph (40 km/h).
OTE
● Cruise control may not be able to keep your speed on
uphills or downhills.
● Your speed may drop on a steep uphill. You may have to
use the accelerator pedal if you want to stay at your set
speed.
WARNING
!
● Never turn off the engine while the vehicle is mov-
ing, or your ability to steer the vehicle may be seri-
ously reduced.
CAUTION
!
● Do not leave the steering wheel turned all the way in
one direction. This can cause damage to the power
steering system.
CAUTION
!
● For safety reasons, the cruise control system should
be set to the “OFF” position by pressing the “ON
OFF” switch (A) when you are not using the cruise
control system.
● Do not use cruise control when driving conditions
will not allow you to stay at the same speed, such as
in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy,
snowy, wet, slippery or on a steep downhill slope.
● On vehicles with manual transaxle, do not move the
gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) position while
driving at a set speed without depressing the clutch
pedal. The engine will run too fast and might be
damaged.
