To turn on the windshield washer, pull the lever toward you
with the ignition switch in either the “ON” or “ACC” position.
The washer fluid will be sprayed onto the windshield by pull-
ing the lever toward you.
When the wipers are not in operation or in intermittent opera-
tion, by pulling the lever toward you, the wipers will operate
several times while the washer fluid is being sprayed.
Also, by releasing the lever soon after pulling it toward you,
the washer fluid will be sprayed several times while the wipers
are operating several times. (Intelligent washer)
Intelligent washer will stop operating with any operation of the
lever.
NOTEIt is possible to modify functions as follows:
• Causing the wiper never to operate when washer fluid is
sprayed.
• Intelligent washer can be deactivated.
• The wipers can be set to operate again after about 6 sec-
onds.
For details, consult a Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
On vehicles equipped with a Mitsubishi Multi-Communi-
cation System, screen operations can be used to make the
adjustment.
Refer to the separate owner’s manual for details.

Precautions to observe when using wipers and
washers
N00523500209
NOTEDo not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. This
could scratch the glass and wear the wiper blades prema-
turely.
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.
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 seconds at a
time. Do not operate the washer when the fluid reservoir
is empty or the pump may fail.
During cold weather, add a recommended washer solution
that will not freeze in the washer 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. If you have questions, ask
your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
CAUTION
!If the washer is used in cold weather, the washer
fluid sprayed onto the glass might freeze, blocking
your view. In cold weather, heat the glass with the
defroster before using the washer.

The windshield washer fluid reservoir is in the engine compart-
ment.
Check the washer fluid level at regular intervals and add
washer fluid to reservoir if necessary.
Open the reservoir cap and check the fluid level with the dip-
stick.During cold weatherWhen freezing weather is anticipated, flush out the water in the
reservoir by operating the pump. Fill the reservoir with wind-
shield antifreeze (not radiator antifreeze), and operate the sys-
tem for a few seconds to flush out the residual water.
Brake fluid/Clutch fluid
(if so equipped)
N00938700186
The brake fluid and the clutch fluid share the reservoir tank.To check the fluid levelThe fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks
on the reservoir.
The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but
this does not indicate any abnormality.
The fluid in the master cylinder should be checked when doing
other work under the engine hood. The brake system should
also be checked for leaks at the same time.
If the fluid level falls markedly in a short length of time, it indi-
cates leaks from the brake system.
If this occurs, have the vehicle checked by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
