NOTE
l
Do not use this switch when the ready indi-
cation lamp is not illuminated. The auxiliary
battery could go flat, making it impossible to
start the Plug-in Hybrid EV System.
l
Since the demister requires a significant
amount of power, stop the demister as soon
as the window is demisted. Using it for a
long time may reduce the auxiliary battery
voltage, making it impossible to start the
Plug-in Hybrid EV System.
l
When the rear window demister switch is
pressed, the outside rear-view mirrors are
defogged or defrosted. Refer to “Heated mir-
ror” on page 7-10.
l
On vehicles equipped with the wiper de-icer,
when the rear window demister switch is
pushed, the window glass becomes warm
and the wipers become operable. Refer to
“Wiper de-icer switch” on page 6-74.
NOTE
l
It is possible to change the setting to make
the rear window demister operate automati-
cally when ambient temperature becomes
low while the ready indication lamp is illu-
minated, even if you do not push the rear
window demister switch.
It operates automatically only once after put-
ting the operation mode in ON.
If you choose this setting, the heated mirrors
(if so equipped) and wiper de-icer (if so
equipped) will also operate automatically at
the same time.
For further information, we recommend you
to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
On vehicles equipped with the Smartphone
Link Display Audio or the MITSUBISHI
Multi-Communication System (MMCS),
screen operations can be used to make the
adjustment. Refer to the separate owner’s
manual for details.
l
The demister switch is not to melt snow but
to clear mist. Remove snow before use of
the demister switch.
l
When cleaning the inside of the rear win-
dow, use a soft cloth and wipe gently along
the heater wires, being careful not to damage
the wires.
l
Do not allow objects to touch the inside of
the rear window glass, damaged or broken
wires may result.
