General Information

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The steering wheel has three spokes. All vehicles are equipped with SRS (Supplemental Restraint System).
The steering column has a shock absorbing mechanism and a tilt steering mechanism.
The steering system uses a vane oil pump with a fluid flow control system, so that steering effort varies with engine speed.
