NOTE●To ensure a clear rearward view, the wiper performs a
number of continuous operations either when the switch is
moved to the “INT” position or when the gearshift lever
(M/T) or the selector lever (A/T) is moved to the “R”
position while the switch is in the “INT” position.
Following this continuous operation, the wiper will auto-
matically switch to intermittent operation.
●It is possible to spray washer fluid without activating the
wiper. To do so, hold the knob at the end of the lever in the
“ ” position and turn the ignition switch to the “ON” or
“ACC” position.
●It is possible to activate the following functions. For fur-
ther information, we recommend you to consult a MIT-
SUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
On a vehicle equipped with a Multi Display Station
(MDS), the functions can be adjusted on the screen. For
details, refer to a separate operation manual.
• Adjustment of the interval for intermittent operation
• Causing the wipers to switch to continuous operation
when the knob at the end of the lever is turned to the
“INT” position twice within approximately 1 second
• Changing intermittent wiper operation to continuous
wiper operation
• Causing the wiper never to operate when washer fluid is
sprayed
Precautions to observe when using wipers and
washers
E00507600014
●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.
●Do not use the wipers when the glass is dry. They may
scratch the glass surface or the blades may prematurely
wear out.
●Before using the wipers in cold weather, check that the
wiper blades are not frozen onto the glass. The motor may
burn out if the wipers are used with the blades frozen onto
the glass.
●Avoid using the washer continuously for more than
20 seconds. Do not operate the washer when the fluid res-
ervoir is empty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
●Periodically check the level of washer fluid in the reser-
voir and refill if required.
During cold weather, add a recommended washer solution
that will not freeze in the washer reservoir. Failure to do
so could result in loss of washer function and frost dam-
age to the system components.

When parking on a hill, apply the parking brake and turn the
front wheels towards the kerb on a downhill grade, away from
the kerb on an uphill grade.
Parking
E00600600830
Parking on a hillTo prevent the vehicle from rolling into the street, follow these
procedures:Parking on a downhill slopeTurn the front wheels towards the kerb and move the vehicle
forward until the kerb side wheel gently touches the kerb.
Set the parking brake and place the gearshift lever into the
“R” (Reverse) position (with M/T) or the selector lever into the
“P” (PARK) position (with A/T).
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.Parking on an uphill slopeTurn the front wheels away from the kerb and move the vehicle
back until the kerb side wheel gently touches the kerb.
Set the parking brake and place the gearshift lever into the
1st position (with M/T) or the selector lever into the
“P” (PARK) position (with A/T).
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.NOTE●If your vehicle is equipped with A/T, be sure to apply the
parking brake before moving the selector lever to the
“P” (PARK) position. If you move the selector lever to the
“P” (PARK) position before applying the parking brake, it
may be difficult to disengage the selector lever from the
“P” (PARK) position when next you drive the vehicle,
requiring application of a strong force to the selector lever
to move from the “P” (PARK) position.
CAUTION
!●Before driving, be sure that the parking brake is
fully released and brake warning lamp is off.
If a vehicle is driven without releasing the parking
brake, the brake will be overheated, resulting in
ineffective braking and possible brake failure.●When you intend to apply the parking brake, firmly
press the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a com-
plete stop before pulling the parking brake lever.
Pulling the parking brake lever with the vehicle
moving could make the rear wheels lock up, thereby
making the vehicle unstable.●If the brake warning lamp does not extinguish when
the parking brake is fully released, the brake system
may be abnormal. For details, refer to “Brake
warning lamp” on page 3-10.
