Precautions to observe when using wip-
ers and washers
E00510000070
l If
the moving wipers become blocked by ice
or other deposits on the glass, the motor may
burn out even if the wiper switch is turned to
OFF. If obstruction occurs, park your vehicle
in a safe place, turn off the engine, and clean
the deposits from the glass so that the wipers
operate smoothly.
l Do not use the wipers when the glass is dry.
They may scratch the glass surface and the
blades wear out prematurely.
l Before using the wipers in cold weather,
check that the wiper blades are not frozen on-
to the glass. The motor may burn out if the
wipers are used with the blades frozen onto
the glass.
l 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.
l 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 re-
sult in loss of washer function and frost dam-
age to the system components. Rear window demister switch
E00507901186
The
rear window demister switch can be operated
when the engine is running.
Push the switch to turn on the rear window demis-
ter. It will be turned off automatically in about 20
minutes. To turn off the demister within about 20
minutes, push the switch again.
The indication lamp (A) will illuminate while the
demister is on. NOTE
l When

the rear window demister switch is
pressed, the outside rear-view mirrors are de-
fogged or defrosted. Refer to “Heated mir-
ror” on page 4-12.
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. Instruments and controls

CAUTION
l
Do not drive the vehicle with the mirror
folded in.
The lack of rearward visibility normally
provided by the mirror could lead to an
accident.
[Except
for vehicles equipped with the mirror re-
tractor switch]
Push the mirror towards the back of the vehicle
with your hand to retract it in. When extending the
mirror, pull it out towards the front of the vehicle
until it clicks to lock in place. [For
vehicles equipped with the mirror retrac-
tor switch]
Retracting and extending the mirrors using the
mirror retractor switch
With the ignition switch or the operation mode in
ON or ACC, push the mirror retractor switch to re-
tract the mirrors.
Push it again to extend the mirrors to their original
positions. After turning the ignition switch to the “LOCK” po-
sition

or putting the operation mode in OFF, it is
possible to retract and extend the mirrors using the
mirror retractor switch for about 30 seconds. CAUTION
l
It
is possible to retract and extend the mir-
rors by hand. After retracting a mirror us-
ing the mirror retractor switch, however,
you should extend it by using the switch
again, not by hand. If you extended the
mirror by hand after retracting it using
the switch, it would not properly lock in
position. As a result, it could move be-
cause of the wind or vibration while you
are driving, taking away your rearward
visibility.
NOTE l Be

careful not to get your hands trapped
while a mirror is moving. l
If
you move a mirror by hand or it moves af-
ter hitting a person or object, you may not be
able to return it to its original position using
the mirror retractor switch. If this happens,
push the mirror retractor switch to place the
mirror in its retracted position and then push
the switch again to return the mirror to its orig-
inal position.
l When freezing has occurred and mirrors fail
to operate as intended, please refrain from re-
peated pushing of the retractor switch as this
action can result in burn-out of the mirror mo-
tor circuits.
Retracting and extending the mirrors without us-
ing the mirror retractor switch

The mirrors automatically retract or extend when
the doors are locked or unlocked using the remote
control switches of the keyless entry system.

Rear-view camera*
E00618400257
The
rear-view camera is a system that shows the
view behind the vehicle on the screen of the
MITSUBISHI Multi Communication System
(MMCS) or the inside rear-view mirror. CAUTION
l
The
rear-view camera is an assistance sys-
tem that enables the driver to check for
obstacles behind the vehicle. Its range of
view is limited, so you should not overly
depend on it. Please drive just as careful-
ly as you would if the vehicle did not have
the rear-view camera.
l Be sure to visually confirm safety around
the vehicle with your own eyes. Do not de-
pend entirely on the rear-view camera.
Range of view of rear-view camera
The
range of view of the rear-view camera is limi-
ted to the area shown in the illustrations. It cannot
show both sides and the lower part of the rear bump-
er, etc.
When reversing, be sure to visually confirm safety
around the vehicle. Location of rear-view camera
The rear-view camera (A) is integrated into the part
near the tailgate handle.
Range of view of rear-view camera How to use the rear-view camera
When you place the gearshift lever or selector lever
in

the “R” position with the ignition switch or the
operation mode in ON, the view behind the vehicle
will automatically appear on the screen of the
MITSUBISHI Multi Communication System
(MMCS) or the inside rear-view mirror. When you
move the gearshift lever or the selector lever to any
other position, the screen will return to its original
indication. CAUTION
l
The
rear-view camera has a special lens
that can make objects shown on the
screen appear to be closer or further
away than they actually are.
NOTE l Because

the rear-view camera has a special
lens, the lines on the ground between parking
spaces may not look parallel on the screen. Starting and driving

l
In the following situations, the screen indica-
tion may be difficult to see. There is no ab-
normality. • Low light (nighttime)
• When the light of the sun or the lightfrom a vehicle’s headlamps shines direct-
ly into the lens
l If the camera is hot and is then cooled by
rain or a car wash, the lens can mist up. This
phenomenon does not indicate a malfunction.
l It is not possible to fully see obstacles when
the lens is dirty. If the lens becomes contami-
nated by water droplets, snow, mud or oil,
wipe off the contamination, taking care not
to scratch the lens.
l Please observe the following cautions. Ignor-
ing them could lead to a camera malfunction.
• Do not subject the camera to physicalshock.
• Do not apply wax to the camera.
• Do not splash the camera with boiling wa- ter.
• Do not disassemble the camera.
Reference lines on the screen
Reference lines and upper surface of the rear bump-
er (A) are displayed on the screen. l Red line (B) indicates approximately 50 cm
behind the rear bumper.
l Two Green lines (C) indicate approximately
20 cm outside of the vehicle body.
l Short transverse lines (1 to 3) indicate dis-
tance from the rear bumper.
Check surroundings for safety. 1. Approximately

at the rear edge of the rear
bumper
2. Approximately 100 cm
3. Approximately 200 cm
NOTE l It is possible to change the display language
of the screen. For details, please refer to the
separate owner’s manual “MITSUBISHI
Multi Communication System (MMCS)”or
“To change the indication on the screen of
the inside rear-view mirror: To change the lan-
guage of warning text (3)” on page 4-54.
l When the vehicle is tilting because of the num-
ber of people in the vehicle, the weight and
positioning of luggage, and/or the condition
of the road surface, the lines in the view
from the rear-view camera may not be accu-
rately positioned relative to the actual road.
The reference lines for distance and vehicle
width are based on a level, flat road surface.
In the following cases, objects shown on the
screen will appear to be farther off than they
actually are. • When
the rear of the vehicle is weighed
down with the weight of passengers and
luggage in the vehicle. A- Actual objects
B-
Objects shown on the screen
• When there is an upward slope at the back. A- Actual objects

l
The reference lines for distance and vehicle
width are intended to indicate the distance to
a flat object such as a level, flat road surface.
This may make the distance to a projecting
object shown on the screen differ from the ac-
tual distance to the projecting object. Do not
use them as a guide for distances to solid ob-
jects.
Example: On the screen the point B appears
the nearest, then the point C and A in order
of distance. The points A and B actually are
the same distances from the vehicle, and the
point C is farther off than the points A and B.
