STARTING AND DRIVING
5-39
WARNING
(1) Do not attempt to adjust the
rear-view mirror while driving.
This can be dangerous.
Be sure to adjust the mirrors be-
fore driving.
(2) The glass of the mirror is con-
vex. Objects you see in the mir-
ror will look smaller and farther
away compared to a normal flat
mirror.
Do not use this mirror to esti-
mate distance of following vehi-
cles when changing lanes.
NOTE
The outside mirror can be folded in toward
the side window to prevent damage when
parking in narrow areas.
Mirror heater*
With the rear window demister switch in
the “ON” position, the outside rear-view
mirrors are defogged or defrosted. Cur-
rent will flow through the heater elements
inside the mirrors, thus clearing away frost
or condensation. (for some models)
The indication lamp (A) will illuminate
while the demister is on.

VEHICLE CARE
(4) Some types of hot water wash-
ing equipment apply high pres-
sure and heat to the vehicle.
They may cause heat distortion
and damage to the vehicle resin
parts and may result in flooding
of the vehicle interior. Therefore;
observe the following.
• Maintain a good distance of
approx. 40 cm or more be-
tween the vehicle body and the
washing nozzle.
• When washing around the
door glass, hold the nozzle at a
distance of more than 50 cm
and at right angles to the glass
surface.
(5) Using an automatic car wash,
pay attention to the following
items, referring to the operation
manual or consulting a car wash
operator. If the followings are
not followed, it could result in
damage to your vehicle.
• The outside mirrors and the
antenna are retracted.CAUTION(1) Waxes containing high abrasive
compounds should not be used.
Such waxes remove rust and
stain effectively from the paint-
work but they are harmful to the
lustre of the painted surface.
Further, they are harmful to
glossy surfaces such as grille,
garnish, mouldings, etc.
(2) Do not use petrol or paint thin-
ner to remove road tar or other
contamination to the painted
surface.
(3) Do not apply wax on the areas
having black mat coating as
it can cause uneven discolou-
ration, patches, blurs, etc. If
stained with wax, immediately
wipe off with a piece of soft cloth
and warm water.
During cold weather
The salt and other chemicals spread on
the roads in some areas in winter can
have a harmful effect on the vehicle body.
You should therefore wash the vehicle as
often as possible in accordance with our
care-instructions. It is recommended to
have a preservative applied and the
underfloor protection checked at an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer before
and after the cold weather season.
After washing your vehicle, wipe off all
waterdrops from the rubber parts around
the doors to prevent the doors from
freezing.
NOTE
To prevent freezing of the weatherstrip-
ping on the doors, bonnet, etc., they
should be treated with silicone spray.
WaxingEK33A-Af
Waxing the vehicle will help prevent the
adherence of dust and road chemicals to
the paintwork. Apply a wax solution after
washing the vehicle, or at least once every
three months to assist displacing of water.
Do not wax your vehicle in direct sunlight.
You should wax after the surfaces have
cooled.
