Precautions to observe when
using wipers and washers
CAUTION
 If the washer is used in cold weather, washer
fluid sprayed onto the glass might freeze,
blocking your view. Heat the glass with the
defroster before using the washer.
Wiper and washer switch
NOTE
 Do not use the wipers when the windshield is
N00504600298
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 or put the operation mode in
OFF, and then remove the ice or other depos-
its.
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 washer fluid reservoir is empty or
the pump may fail.
 During cold weather, add a recommended
N00523501349
washer solution that will not freeze in the
washer fluid 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. For further information, please con-
tact your authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.
