CAUTION
 Do not place stickers, tape, or other items
that are attached with adhesive over the grid
wires on the rear window.

heater, mist can also be removed from the
outside rearview mirrors when the rear win-
dow defogger switch is pressed. (Refer to

 On vehicles equipped with the wiper deicer,
when the rear window defogger switch is
pushed, the windshield becomes warm and
the wipers become operable. (Refer to
"Wiper deicer switch" on page 5-237.)
NOTE
 It is possible to change the setting to make
the rear window defogger operate automati-
cally when ambient temperature becomes
low while the engine is running, even if you
do not push the rear window defogger
switch.
It operates automatically only once after
turning the ignition switch to the "ON" posi-
tion or putting the operation mode in ON.
If you choose this setting, the door mirror
heater (if so equipped) and wiper deicer (if
so equipped) will also operate automatically
at the same time.

authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
On vehicles equipped with Mitsubishi Multi-
Communication System, screen operations
can be used to make the adjustment.
