• A physical shock is applied to the wind-
screen.
• A physical shock is applied to the rain sen-
sor.
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 about 0 °C or lower.
Do not cover the sensor by affixing a sticker
or label to the windscreen. Also, do not put
any water-repellent coating on the wind-
screen. 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.
For further information, please contact your
authorised MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.
• 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.
CAUTION
The wipers may automatically operate when
things such as insects or foreign objects are
affixed to the windscreen on top of the rain
sensor or when the windscreen is frozen.
Objects affixed to the windscreen will stop
the wipers when the wipers cannot remove
them. To operate the wipers again, move the
lever in the “LO” or “HI” position.
Also, the wipers may operate automatically
due to strong direct sunlight or electromag-
netic wave. To stop the wipers, place the
lever in the “OFF” position.
Contact an authorised MITSUBISHI
MOTORS dealer when replacing the wind-
screen or reinforcing the glass around the
sensor.
