Precautions to observe when using wipers and washers
CAUTION If the washer is used in cold weather, washer fluid sprayed onto the glass might freeze, blocking your view. Heat
the glass with the
defroster before using the washer.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 wipe
rs in cold weather,
check to be sure that the wiper blades are notfrozen to the windshield. Using the wipers while the blades are frozen could cause the wiper motor to burn out.  If the moving wipers
become blocked part-
way through a sweep by ice or other depositson the glass, the wipers may temporarily stop operating to prevent the motor from over- heating. In this case, park the vehicle in asafe place, turn the ignition switch to the“OFF” position or put
the operation mode in
OFF, and then remove the ice or other depos- its.Because the wipers will
start operating again
after 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 washerwhen 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 replacementblades. For further info
rmation, please con-
tact your authorized
Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.
