N00523700403
The rear window defogger can be used when the engine is running. The indicator light (A) will come on whenyou press the electric rear window defogger switch. Electric current will flow through the heating wires on the rear window to helpclear away moisture or frost.
After about 20 minutes of operation, the sys- tem will shut off automatically.To switch the defogger OFF before 20 min- utes 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 20 minutes, press th
e switch again. This will add
20 more minutes.
NOTE
Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. This could scratch the glass and wear thewiper blades prematurely. Before using the wipers in cold weather, check to be sure that the wiper blades are notfrozen 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 are left on the glass out of the parked position and th
ey 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 sec- onds at a time. Do not
operate the washer
when the washer fluid reservoir is empty or the pump may fail. During cold weather, add a recommended washer solution that will not freeze in the washer fluid reservoir. Otherwise the washermay not work or may be damaged. Replace the wiper blades when they are worn. Use the proper size replacement blades. For further info
rmation, please con-
tact your authorized
Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.

It is normal for an engi
ne to use oil. You may
need to add oil betwee
n the recommended oil
change intervals. Before starting the engine,check the engine oil level. Refill if necessary. To check the oil level, remove the dipstick, wipe it off, and gently
reinsert it all the way.
Slowly pull the dipsti
ck straight out and
check the oil level by checking the upper sur- face of the dipstick. Th
e oil level must not go
above the line on the dipstick. If the level does not reach the line which shows the minimum amo
unt of oil required,
remove the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover, and fill to within the “Good” range.
Make sure the engine hood is firmly closed before driving.If you drive without the engine hood com-pletely closed, it c
ould open up while driv-
ing.NOTE
If this does not clos
e the engine hood prop-
erly, drop it again from a slightly higher position. Do not push down strongly on the engine hood. Depending on how strongly or whereyou push down, you could create a dent in the vehicle body.CAUTION

moment and then recheck the oil level by checking the upper surfa

The windshield and rear window washer fluid reservoir is in the
engine compartment.
Check the washer fluid level at regular inter-vals and add washer fluid to reservoir if nec- essary. Open the reservoir cap and check the level ofwasher fluid. The washer fluid level
should be kept approx-
imately 5 cm below the upper surface of the reservoir. When freezing weather is anticipated, flush out the water in the reservoir by operating the pump. Fill the reservoir with windshield anti- freeze (not radiator
antifreeze), and operate
the system for a few se
conds to flush out the
residual water.
CAUTION Take care not to scra
tch the engine air flow
sensor when removing
the air cleaner cover.
