Precautions to observe when

washer fluid sprayed onto the glass might
freeze, blocking your view. In cold weather,
heat the glass with the defroster before using
the washer.
5-138 Features and controls
NOTE
 Do not use the wipers when the windshield is
dry. This could scratch the glass and wear the
wiper blades prematurely.
 Before using the wipers in cold weather,
check to be sure that the wiper blades are not
frozen to the windshield. Using the wipers
while the blades are frozen could cause the
wiper motor to burn out.
 If the moving wipers become blocked part-
way through a sweep by ice or other deposits
on the glass, the wipers may temporarily stop
operating to prevent the motor from over-
heating. In this case, park the vehicle in a
safe place, turn the ignition switch to the
"OFF" position and then remove the ice or
other deposits. Because the wipers will start
operating again after the wiper motor cools
down, check that the wipers operate before
using them.
 Avoid using the washer for more than 20 sec-
onds at a time. Do not operate the washer
when the fluid reservoir is empty or the
pump may fail.
 During cold weather, add a recommended
washer solution that will not freeze in the
N00523501293
washer reservoir. Otherwise the washer may
not work or may be damaged.
 Replace the wiper blades when they are
worn. Use the proper size replacement
blades. If you have questions, ask your
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
Electric rear window defog-
ger switch
The electric rear window defogger can be
used when the engine is running.
The indicator light (A) will come on when
you press the electric rear window defogger
switch. Electric current will flow through the
heating wires on the rear window to help
clear away moisture or frost.
After about 20 minutes of operation, the sys-
tem will shut off automatically.
To switch the defogger OFF before 20 min-
utes have passed, press the switch again. The
indicator light will go out and the defogger
will turn off.
If you need the defogger for more than 20
minutes, press the switch again. This will add
20 more minutes.
