Wiper and washer switch
Rain sensor
Can only be used when the operation mode is
in ON.
If the lever is put in the "AUTO" position, the
rain sensor (A) will detect the extent of rain
(or snow, other moisture, dust, etc.) and the
5
wipers will operate automatically.
Keep the lever in the "OFF" position if the
windshield is dirty and the weather is dry.
Wiper operation under these conditions can
scratch the windshield and damage the wip-
ers.
CAUTION
With the operation mode in ON and the lever
in the "AUTO" position, the wipers may
automatically operate in the situations
described below.
• When cleaning the outside surface of the
windshield, if you touch the rain sensor.

Features and controls
CAUTION
• When cleaning the outside surface of the
windshield, if you wipe with a cloth the rain
sensor.
• When using an automatic car wash.
• A physical shock is applied to the wind-
shield.
• A physical shock is applied to the rain sen-
sor.
If your hands get trapped, you could suffer
injuries or the wipers could malfunction. Be
sure to put the operation mode in OFF, or
move the lever to the "OFF" position to deac-
tivate the rain sensor.
NOTE
To protect the rubber parts of the wipers, this
operation of the wipers does not take place
even if the lever is put in the "AUTO" posi-
tion when the vehicle is stationary and the
ambient temperature is approximately 32 °F
(0 °C) or lower.
Do not cover the sensor by affixing a sticker
or label to the windshield. Also, do not put
any water-repellent coating on the wind-
shield. The rain sensor would not be able to
detect the extent of rain, and the wipers
might stop working normally.
In the following cases, the rain sensor may
be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle checked
at a certified Mitsubishi EV dealer.
NOTE
• When the wipers operate at a constant inter-
val despite changes in the extent of rain.
• When the wipers do not operate even
though it is raining.
The wipers may automatically operate when
things such as insects or foreign objects are
affixed to the windshield on top of the rain
sensor or when the windshield is frozen.
Objects affixed to the windshield will stop
the wipers when the wipers cannot remove
them. To operate the wipers again, move the
lever to the "LO" or "HI" position.
Also, the wipers may operate automatically
due to strong direct sunlight or electromag-
netic wave. To stop the wipers, move the
lever to the "OFF" position.
Contact a certified Mitsubishi EV dealer
when replacing the windshield glass.
