Mitsubishi - Rear Window Defoggers
Diamante, Eclipse, Galant, Mirage, Montero, Montero Sport,
3000GT
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
Rear window defogger is a heating filament grid bonded to
inside of window. Rear window defogger is controlled by defogger
switch on instrument panel and a defogger relay.
On Montero, a timer relay controls defogger operation for 9-
11 minutes, then turns defogger off. On Eclipse and Galant, defogger
timer circuit is integral with Electronic Timer Alarm Control System
(ETACS) ECU. Timer will operate defogger for 11 minutes then turn off,\
even with defogger switch in ON position and indicator light
illuminated. On Diamante, timer will operate defogger for 20 minutes,
then turn off.

DOOR LOCKS - POWER & KEYLESS ENTRY
1998 Mitsubishi Montero
1998 ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT
Mitsubishi - Keyless Entry & Power Door Locks
Montero & 3000GT
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
On 3000GT, power door locks are controlled by driver or
passenger switches which send signals to Electronic Timer Alarm
Control System (ETACS) ECU. ETACS-ECU sends appropriate signals to
individual door lock actuators through individual relays.
The following features are incorporated in power door lock
systems that have an ETACS-ECU:
* Once locked door is closed, system will unlock door if key
remains in ignition switch.
* Continuous switching between lock and unlock of door will
disable system for about one minute.
On Montero, power door lock actuator receives signal from
individual control relay that is operated by a switch incorporated in
actuator. On all models, all door locks are actuated with operation of
one lock.
Montero and 3000GT offer optional keyless entry system. Use
of a 2-button portable remote control operates door locks within a
range of 13 ft. (4 m). Dome light flashes twice when doors are locked
and illuminates for 3 seconds when doors are unlocked. If, after 30
seconds, door(s) have not been opened when unlocked with keyless entry\
system, doors will relock.

SUN ROOF - POWER
1998 Mitsubishi Montero
1998 ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT
Mitsubishi - Power Sun Roofs
Eclipse, Galant, Montero, Montero Sport, 3000GT
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
Sun roof is actuated by an overhead console-mounted switch.
Sun roof motor, located near switch, moves sun roof panel by means of
drive cables. If necessary, sun roof can be closed manually using
manual closure wrench stored in vehicle's tool pouch.
On vehicles equipped with Electronic Timer Alarm Control
System (ETACS) ECU, sun roof can be operated up to 30 seconds after
ignition switch is turned to OFF position.
Sun roof motor incorporates a safety feature that initially
limits opening or closing of roof glass panel. Sun roof will not fully
close from fully open position without first releasing and then
depressing slide switch during operation. Sun roof initially stops
about 8" short of fully closed position.
