General information
Warning. Warnings related to vehicles equipped with an additional passive restraint system (SRS).
- (1) Improper service or repair of any component of the SRS system (as well as an SRS-related component) may result in injury or death to operating personnel (as a result of unauthorized deployment of an airbag), as well as the driver and front passenger (as a result of the inoperability of the SRS system after unskilled service or repair).
- (2) Maintenance or repair of any component of the system.
SRS (or related component) must only be carried out by an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
Note. The SRS system includes the following components: SRS ECM, airbag modules, coiled wire and connecting wires.
Two types of steering wheels are installed on cars: with three spokes for standard models and with four spokes for models equipped with an additional passive safety system (SRS). The steering column is equipped with a shock absorption device and a tilt adjustment mechanism.
Power rack and pinion steering, with steering gear and steering gear combined into one lightweight and compact unit (pic. 16.1).
Pic. 16.1. Power Steering Elements
The hydraulic power steering consists of a vane pump with a fluid flow control system, due to which the servo effort varies depending on the engine speed.
