The 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.
• Intelligent washer can be deactivated.
• The wipers can be set to operate again after
about 6 seconds.
For details, consult a Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.
Precautions to observe when
using wipers and washers
CAUTION
 If the washer is used in cold weather, the
washer fluid sprayed onto the glass might
freeze, blocking your view. Heat the glass
with the defroster before using the washer.
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.
NOTE
 If the wipers become blocked by ice or other
deposits on the glass, the motor may still
burn out even if the wiper switch is OFF. If
deposits form on the windshield, park your
vehicle in a safe place, turn off the engine,
and clean the glass so that the wipers can
operate smoothly.

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
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.
