Rear window wiper and washer (ECLIPSE only)
N00523200264
The rear window wiper and washer can be operated when the
ignition key is in the “ON” or “ACC” position.
Turn the knob to operate the rear window wiper.
NOTETo ensure a clear rearward view, the wiper performs a
number of continuous operations either when the switch is
moved to the “INT” position or when the gearshift lever
(manual transmission) or the selector lever (automatic
transmission) is moved to the “R” (REVERSE) position
while the switch is in the “INT” position.
Following this continuous operation, the wiper will auto-
matically switch to intermittent operation.
The washer fluid reservoir is located in the engine com-
partment.
Check the fluid level regularly and refill if necessary. (See
“Washer fluid” on page 7-14.)Precautions to observe when using wipers and
washers
N00523500111
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 or
rear window. Using the wipers while the blades are frozen
could cause the wiper motor to burn out.
OFF- Off
INT- The wiper operates continuously for several seconds then
operates intermittently at intervals of about 8 seconds.
-Washer fluid will be sprayed onto the rear window glass
while the knob is turned fully in either direction.
When the washer fluid is sprayed, the wiper will automati-
cally operate 2 or 3 times.
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.

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.
Electric rear window defogger switch
N00523700214
The electric rear window defogger can be used with the igni-
tion key in the “ON” position.
The indicator light (A) will come on when you press the elec-
tric rear window defogger switch. Electric current will flow
through the heating wires on the rear window to help clear
away moisture or frost.
After about 17 minutes of operation, the system will shut off
automatically.
To switch the defogger OFF before 17 minutes have passed,
press the switch again. The indicator light will go out and the
defogger will turn off.
If you need the defogger for more than 17 minutes, press the
switch again. This will add 17 more minutes.
