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.
Following this continuous operation, the wiper will auto-
matically switch to intermittent operation.

In vehicles with multi center display, multi center display
can be used to adjust the time intervals of the intermittent
wiper operation.
For details, refer to “Setting and Customization” on page
3-108.

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.

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 defogger 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.

also be removed from the outside rearview mirrors when
the rear window defogger switch is pressed. (Refer to
“Heated mirror” on page 3-33.)
CAUTION
!

snow. Remove any snow manually before using the
rear window defogger.
Use the rear window defogger only after the engine
has started and is running. Be sure to turn the
defogger switch off immediately after the window is
clear to save on battery power.
Do not place stickers, tape, or other items that are
attached with adhesive over the grid wires on the
rear window.

N00524700208
The vanity mirrors are located on the back of the sun visors.
Opening the lid (A) of the vanity mirror will automatically turn
on the mirror light (B).
Power outlet
(if so equipped)
N00525000455
To use a “plug-in” type accessory, open the cover located on
the floor console and the right side wall of the rear luggage
area, then insert the plug in the power outlet.NOTE
The power outlets can be used simultaneously.
CAUTION
!
If the lid of the lighted vanity mirror is kept open for
prolonged periods of time, the battery may be dis-
charged.
CAUTION
!
Be aware that using electronic equipment with the
engine off may run the battery down.
Be sure to use a “plug-in” type accessory operating
at 12 V and 120 W or less.
When using two or more power outlets at the same
time, make sure the total power consumption of the
electrical accessories for the power outlets does not
exceed 120 W at 12 V.
When the power outlet is not in use, be sure to close
the power outlet cover. This will prevent the power
outlet from becoming clogged and short circuiting.

4-2 Driving safety
4Driving precaution
N00629300040
Utility vehicles have higher ground clearance and a narrower
track, which enables them to perform in a wide variety of off-
road situations. Because of the higher ground clearance, these
vehicles have a higher center of gravity, which makes them
handle differently than ordinary vehicles when driving on
pavement. They are not designed to maneuver or corner at the
same speed on pavement as conventional 2-wheel drive pas-
senger cars any more than low-slung sports cars are designed
to perform satisfactorily in off-road conditions.
Always drive safely and steer the vehicle carefully. Avoid oper-
ating the vehicle in a manner that might require sharp turns or
abrupt maneuvers. As with other vehicles of this type, failure
to operate this vehicle correctly can result in loss of control or
vehicle rollover.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more
likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. Before starting
the vehicle, always make certain that you and all your passen-
gers are properly wearing their seat belts (with children in the
rear seat, in appropriate restraints).
Fuel economy
N00628800080
Fuel economy is dependent on many factors. Your personal
driving habits can have a significant effect on your fuel use.
Several recommendations for achieving the greatest fuel econ-
omy are listed below.

Whenever accelerating from a stop, always accelerate
slowly and smoothly.

When parked for even a short period, do not idle the
engine. Shut it off.

Plan your trips to avoid unnecessary stops.

Keep your tires inflated to the recommended pressures.

For freeway driving, maintain a speed of approximately
50 mph (80 km/h) when traffic, roadway and weather con-
ditions safely permit.

Keep your air filter clean and your vehicle lubricated
according to the recommendations in this manual.

Always keep your vehicle well maintained. A poorly
maintained engine wastes fuel and costs money.

Do not overload your vehicle.
WA R N I N G
!
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover
rate than other types of vehicles. Avoid abrupt
maneuvers and excessive speed. Always buckle up.

4 Safe driving techniques
N00629200052
Even this vehicle’s safety equipment, and your safest driving,
cannot guarantee that you can avoid an accident or injury.
However, if you give extra attention to the following areas, you
can better protect yourself and your passengers:

Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic, road and weather
conditions. Leave plenty of stopping distance between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.

Before changing lanes, check your mirrors and use your
turn-signal light.

While driving, watch the behavior of other drivers, bicy-
clists, and pedestrians.

Always obey applicable laws and regulations. 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
right fuel.
Driving during cold weather
N00629400315

Check the battery, including terminals and cables. During
extremely cold weather, the battery will not be as strong.
Also, the battery power level may drop because more
power is used for cold starting and driving.
Before driving the vehicle, check to see if the engine runs
at the proper speed and if the headlights are as bright as
normally. Charge or replace the battery if necessary. Dur-
ing extreme cold weather, it is possible that a very low
battery could freeze.

Warm the engine sufficiently. After starting the engine,
allow a short warm-up time to distribute oil to all cylin-
ders. 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 the lubri-
cation points.
WA R N I N G
!
The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas. Any
spark or flame can cause the battery to explode,
which could cause serious injuries or death.
Always wear protective clothes and a face mask
when working with your battery, or let a skilled
mechanic do it.
