Precautions to observe when using wipers and washers
CAUTION If the washer is used
in cold weather, the
washer fluid sprayed onto the glass might freeze, blocking your vi
ew. Heat the glass
with the defroster befo
re using the washer.
NOTE
NOTE
Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. This could scratch the glass and wear thewiper blades prematurely.  Before using the wipe
rs 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 moving wipers be
come blocked part-
way through a sweep by ic
e 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 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 thatthe 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 or the pump may fail.  During cold weather, add a recommended washer solution that will not freeze in thewasher 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 info
rmation, please con-
tact your authorized
Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.
