If the moving wipers become blocked
partway through a sweep by ice or other
deposits on the glass, the wipers may tem-
porarily stop operating to prevent the
motor from overheating. In this case, park
the vehicle in a safe place, put the opera-
tion mode of the power switch in OFF,
and then remove the ice or other deposits.
Because the wipers will start operating
again after the wiper motor cools down,
check that the wipers operate before using
them.
Do not use the wipers when the glass is
dry.
They may scratch the glass surface and
the blades wear out prematurely.
Before using the wipers in cold weather,
check that the wiper blades are not frozen
onto the glass. The motor may burn out if
the wipers are used with the blades frozen
onto the glass.
Avoid using the washer continuously for
more than 20 seconds. Do not operate the
washer when the fluid reservoir is empty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
Periodically check the level of washer
fluid in the reservoir and refill if required.
During cold weather, add a recommended
washer solution that will not freeze in the
washer reservoir. Failure to do so could
result in loss of washer function and frost
damage to the system components.

The rear window demister switch can be
operated when the Hybrid EV System is
operating.
Press the switch to turn on the rear window
demister. It will be turned off automatically in
approximately 20 minutes. To turn off the
demister within approximately 20 minutes,
press the switch again.
The indicator lamp (A) will illuminate while
the demister is on.
The rear window wiper will automatically
perform several continuous operations if the
select position is put in the “R” (REVERSE)
position while the windscreen wipers or the
rear window wiper is operating (automatic
operation mode).
After the automatic operation, the rear win-
dow wiper will stop operating if the knob is
in the “OFF” position. If the knob is in the
“INT” position, the rear window wiper will
return to the intermittent operation.
It is possible to set the rear window wiper to
perform the automatic operation only if the
select position is put in the “R” (REVERSE)
position while the rear window wiper is
operating with the knob in the “INT” posi-
tion.
For further information, please contact an
authorised MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.
If the knob is in the “OFF” position, turn the
knob to the “INT” position twice quickly to
operate the rear window wiper continuously
(continuous operation mode).
Turn the knob to the “OFF” position to stop
the rear window wiper continuous operation.
The interval for intermittent operation can be
adjusted.
For further information, please contact an
authorised MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.
