NOTE
To 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 selector lever is
moved to the “R” (REVERSE) position while the switch
is in the “INT” position.

matically switch to intermittent operation.

can be used to adjust the time intervals of the intermittent
wiper operation.
For details, refer to “Setting and Customization” on page

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
NOTE
Do 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.

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.

Check the wiper blades occasionally. Clean them regularly to
remove deposits of salt and road film. Use a sponge or cloth
and a mild detergent or non-abrasive cleaner to clean the blades
and glass areas.

Do not run the wipers on dry glass for a long time. This
wears out the rubber and can scratch the glass.During cold weatherIf the blades are frozen to the windshield or rear window, do
not operate the wipers until the ice has melted and the blades
are freed, otherwise the wiper motor may be damaged.
Emission-control system maintenance
N00940800315
Your vehicle is equipped with an emission-control system that
meets all the requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protec-
tion Agency and Environment Canada. The emission-control
system is made of:

a positive crankcase ventilation system

an evaporative emission-control system

an exhaust emission-control system
The maintenance services listed in the “WARRANTY AND
MAINTENANCE MANUAL” must be performed at the times
or mileages listed to keep the emission-control system working
properly. These, and all the other “general” maintenance ser-
vices listed in this manual, need to be performed to keep your
vehicle running properly and reliably.
You may need more frequent maintenance if you drive your
vehicle in harsh conditions such as dusty areas or do a lot of
start-and-stop driving.
To be sure the emission-control system works properly, have
your vehicle inspected and maintained by an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice follow-
ing the schedule in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE
MANUAL”.
You should also have an inspection and service any time you
suspect a malfunction.
