The indicator light will go out and the defogger will turn off.
If you need the defogger for more than 15 to 20 minutes, press the switch again. This will add 15 to 20 more minutes.
NOTE
 Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. This could scratch the glass and wear the wiper blades prematurely.  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 frozencould cause the wiper motor to burn out.  If the moving wipers become blocked part- way through a sweep by ice or other deposits on the glass, the wipers may temporarily stop operating to prevent the motor from over-heating. In this case, park the vehicle in a safe place, turn the i
gnition switch to the
“OFF” position or put the operation mode inOFF, and then remove the ice or other depos- its. Because the wipers will start operating againafter the wiper motor cools down, check that the wipers operate before using them.  Avoid using the washer for more than 20 sec- onds at a time. Do not operate the washer when the washer fluid reservoir is empty orthe pump may fail.  During cold weather, add a recommended washer solution that will not freeze in the washer fluid 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. For further information, please con- tact your authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer.

Canadian radio-frequency laws require trans- mitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after several seconds of transmission - which may not be long enough for HomeLink
® to pick
up the signal during programming. Similar tothis Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to “time-out” in the same man- ner.The indicator LED on the hand-held transmit- ter will go off when the device times out indi- cating that it has finished transmitting.If you live in Canada
or you are having diffi-
culties programming a gate operator or garage door opener by using the “Program-ming” procedures, replace “Programming a new HomeLink
®” step 3 with the following:
3. Press and release - every 2 seconds (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter until the HomeLink
® indicator light changes from
slowly flashing orange to either rapidly flash-ing green (rolling code) or continuously lit green (fixed code). Now you may release the hand-held transmitter button.Proceed with “Programming a new Home- Link
®” step 4 to complete.
N00584900022
The HomeLink
® has the capability of receiv-
ing garage door status from compatible garage door opener systems. Check your garage door opener manual for the available feature and HomeLink
® compatibility. Also
for a listing of compatible systems contact HomeLink
® at: www.homelink.com
1. Within 5 seconds after successfully pro- gramming the garage door opener (refer to “Programming a new HomeLink
®”
section), both garage door operation indi- cators (A) will flash rapidly green indicat- ing that the garage door feedback hasbeen enabled. If the indicators do not flash, perform steps 2 and 3 while pressing the Home- Link
® button up to the first 10 times after
successful programming. 2. Press and release the programmed Home- Link
® button to activate the door. You
now have 1 minute in which to complete step 3.

 Always obey applicable laws and regula- tions. Be a polite and alert driver. Always leave room for unexpected events, such as sudden braking. If you plan to drive in another country, obey their vehicle registration laws and make sure you will be able to get the rightfuel.
N00629400445
 Check the battery. At the same time, check the terminals and wiring. Duringextremely cold weather, the battery will not be as strong. Also, the battery power level may drop because more power isused for cold starting and driving. Before driving the vehicle, check to see if the engine runs at the proper speed and ifthe headlights are as bright as normally. Charge or replace the battery if necessary. During extreme cold weather, it is possi-ble that a very low battery could freeze.
 Warm the engine sufficiently. After start- ing the engine, allow a short warm-up time to distribute oil to all cylinders. Then drive your vehicle slowly.Stay at low speeds at first so that the transaxle, transfer case and rear axle oil have time to spread to all lubricationpoints.  Check the engine antifreeze. If there is not enough coolant because of aleak or from engine overheating, addMitsubishi Motors Genuine Super Long Life Coolant Premium or equivalent. Please read this section in conjunctionwith the “Engine coolant” on page 9-7.

All the parts of the brake system are criticalto safety. Have the vehicle serviced by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice at regular inter-vals according to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
Check the brake system while driving at a low speed immediately after starting, espe-cially when the brakes are wet, to confirm they work normally. A film of water can be formed on the brakediscs and prevent normal braking after driv- ing in heavy rain or through large puddles, or after the vehicle is wash
ed. If this occurs, dry
the brakes out by driving slowly while lightlydepressing the brake pedal. On snowy roads, ice can form on the braking system, making the brakes less effective. While driving in such conditions, pay close attention to surrounding vehicles and to thecondition of the road surface. From time to time, lightly depress the brake pedal and check how effective the brakes are. It is important to take advantage of the engine braking by downshifting while driving onsteep downhill roads in order to prevent the brakes from overheating.
Driving during cold weather
WA R N I N G The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas. Any spark or flame can cause the bat-tery to explode, which could cause serious injury or death. Always wear protective clothes and a facemask when working with your battery, or let a skilled mechanic do it.
WA R N I N G Never open the radiator cap when the radiator is hot. You could be seriously burned.

Trailer towing 6-14 Driving safety
6
Towing a trailer requires a certain amount of experience. Before setting out for the open road, you’llwant to get to know your trailer. Acquaint
yourself with the feel
of handling and braking
with the added weight of the trailer. Always keep in mind that the vehicle you are driving is now a good deal longer and not nearly asresponsive as your vehicle is without a trailer. Before you start, check the trailer hitch, safety chains, tires and mirror adjustment. Be sure your vehicle’s tires are inflated to the cold inflation pressure listed in the manual.You’ll find these numbers on the tire and loading information placard at the sill of the driver’s door.Refer to “Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-15. Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle ahead as you would when driving your vehi-cle without a trailer. This can help you avoid situations that require heavy braking and sud- den turns.
You’ll need more passing distance up ahead when you’re towing a trailer. And, becauseyou’re a good deal longer, you’ll need to go much farther beyond the passed vehicle before you can return to your lane. Hold the bottom of the steering wheel with one hand. Then, to move the trailer to the left, just move that hand to the left. To move thetrailer to the right, move your hand to the right. Always back up slowly and, if possible, have someone guide you. When you’re turning with a trailer, make wider than normal turns to help prevent thetrailer from striking shoulders, curbs, road signs, trees or other objects.
Operating hints
WA R N I N G If you have a rear window open and you tow a trailer with your vehicle, carbon monoxide gas which you cannot see or smell could come into your vehicle. It cancause unconsciousness or death. Refer to “Exhaust system” on page 9-22. To maximize your safety when towing atrailer:• Have your exhaust system inspected forleaks, and make necessary repairs before starting on your trip.• Keep the rear windows closed.• If exhaust does come into your vehicle through a window or another opening, drive with your front, main heating or cooling system on and with the blower onany speed. This will bring fresh, outside air into your vehicle. Do not use recircu- lation because it only recirculates the airinside your vehicle. Refer to “Air selec- tion switch” on page 7-9.

Trailer towing
Driving safety 6-15

Avoid jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signal well in advance. Towing a trailer puts additional burden on the engine and transaxle, which may cause over- heating. Following are some suggestions to reduce overheating: When towing at high altitudes, engine coolant and automatic transaxle fluid will overheat at a lower temperature than at normal altitudes.If you turn your engine off immediately after towing at high altitude on steep uphill grades, your vehicle may show signs similar to over-heating. To avoid this
, let the engine run
while parked (preferably on level ground)
with the automatic transaxle in the “P” (PARK) position for a few minutes before turning the engine off.  If the engine coolant temperature indica- tor flashes on the information screen in the multi-information display or the engine power drops suddenly, refer to “Engine overheating” on page 8-4.  If the warning display or warning display illuminates, refer to “Warning dis- play” on page 5-66.
Reduce speed and downshift before you start down a long or steep
downgrade. If you don’t
downshift, prolonged or frequent applicationof the brakes can cause reduced braking effi- ciency and performance. You can tow in “D” (DRIVE) position. How- ever, you may want to shift the selector leverto the 3rd or a lower position, under heavy loads or hilly conditions. Always place chocks or blocks under both the vehicle and trailer wheels when parking. Be sure that the parking brake is firmly set and
that the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position. Avoid parking on a hill with a trailer, but if it cannot be avoided, do so only after performing the following: 1. Apply the brakes and keep them applied. 2. Have someone place chocks or blocks under both the vehicle and trailer wheels. 3. When the chocks or blocks are in place,release your brakes slowly until the chocks or blocks absorb the load. 4. Apply the parking brake firmly.5. Set the selector lever to the “P” (PARK)position and turn off the engine.
When restarting out after parking on a hill: 1. Check that the selector lever is set to the “P” (PARK) position. 2. Start the engine. Be sure to keep the brakepedal depressed. 3. Set the selector lever to the “D” (DRIVE) position or “R” (REVERSE) position.4. Release the parking brake and brake pedal and slowly pull or
back away from the
chocks or blocks. Stop and apply yourbrakes. 5. Have someone retrieve the chocks or blocks.
