2003 MITSUBISHI SHOGUN wiper blades

Precautions to observe when using
wipers and washers
EE13C-I
(1) If the moving wipers become blocked
by ice or other deposits on the glass,
the motor may burn out even if the
wiper switch is turned to OFF. If
obstruction occurs, park your vehicle in
a safe place, turn off the ignition, and
clean the deposits from the glass so
that the wipers operate smoothly.
(2) Do not use the wipers when the glass
is dry. They may scratch the glass sur-
face or the blades may prematurely
wear out.
(3) Before using the wipers in cold weather,
check that the wiper blades are not fro-
zen onto the glass. The motor may
burn out if the wipers are used with the
blades frozen onto the glass.
(4) Avoid using the washer continuously for
more than 20 seconds. Do not oper-
ate the washer when the fluid reser-
voir is empty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
(5) Periodically check the level of washer
fluid in the reservoir and refill if
required.
During cold weather, add a recom-
mended washer solution that will not
freeze in the washer reservoir. Fail-
ure to do so could result in loss of
washer function and frost damage to
the system components.
E16A058A
Hazard warning flasher switch
EE16A-Dd
Use the hazard warning flasher switch
when the vehicle has to be parked on the
road for any emergency.
The hazard warning flashers can always be
operated, regardless of the position of the
ignition key.
Push the switch to turn on the hazard warn-
ing flashers; push the switch again to turn
them off.
When this switch is operated, all turn-signal
lamps flash continuously, as do the
turn-signal indication lamps in the instru-
ment cluster.
CAUTION
If the lamps are kept flashing for a
long time, the battery will be dis-
charged, making it difficult or impos-
sible to start the engine.

Chrome parts
EK06A-Aa
In order to prevent spots and corrosion of
chrome parts, wash with water, dry thor-
oughly, and apply a special protective coat-
ing. This should be done more frequently
in winter.Aluminium wheels*
EK35A-Af
A protective coating is provided over the
aluminium type wheels.
Clean aluminium wheels with a cleaner
designed for use on aluminium and apply
an appropriate protection agent.
NOTE
(1) When cleaning aluminium type wheels,
do not use abrasive cleaners. Wheels
exposed to sea water or road chemi-
cals should be cleaned as soon as
possible.
(2) Brushes may damage the aluminium
wheel surface. Always use a sponge,
chamois leather, etc.
(3) Do not apply hot water directly from the
steam cleaner or similar to the wheel
surface.
Window glass
EK10A-E
Window glass can normally be cleaned
using only a sponge and water.
Glass cleaner can be used to remove oil,
grease, dead insects, etc. After washing the
glass, wipe dry with a clean, dry, soft cloth.
Never use the same cloth to wipe the win-
dow glass as would be used to wipe the
paintwork; wax from the painted surfaces
could adhere to the glass and reduce its
transparency and visibility.
NOTE
To clean the inside of the backdoor win-
dow, always use a soft cloth and wipe the
window glass along the demister heater
element so as not to cause damage.Wiper blades
EK11A-Aa
Use a soft cloth and glass cleaner to
remove grease, dead insects, etc., from the
wiper blades. Replace the wiper blades
when they no longer wipe properly (Refer
to page 9-19).
Cleaning the sunroof*
EK30A-Ab
Clean the inside of the sunroof with a soft
cloth. Hard deposits should be wiped away
with a cloth dipped in warm, neutral deter-
gent solution. Wipe away the solution with
a sponge dipped in fresh water.
NOTE
The surface treatment on the inside of the
glass may be removed if a hard cloth or
organic solvent (benzine, thinner, etc.) is
used.
