Mitsubishi Outlander: Power steering system
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 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, we recommend you to have your vehicle inspected.
Caution
► 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.
