Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Rear window wiper and washerE00507300532

The rear window wiper and washer switch can be
operated with the ignition switch in the “ON” or
“ACC” position.
Turn the knob, and the rear window wiper and wash-
er will operate. -The wiper operates continuously for sev-
eral seconds then operates intermittently
at intervals of about every 8 seconds. -Off -The washer fluid will be sprayed onto
the rear window when the knob is turned
fully in either direction.
The wipers operate automatically several
times while the washer fluid is being
sprayed.
NOTE
l It is possible to change the behaviour of func-
tions as detailed below. For details, we rec-
ommend you to consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point. •It is possible to disable the function that
causes the wipers to operate every time
washer fluid is sprayed.
• It is possible to change the operating in-
terval for intermittent operation of the
rear wiper.Precautions to observe when using wip-
ers and washers E00507600014
lIf 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.
l Do not use the wipers when the glass is dry.
They may scratch the glass surface or the
blades may prematurely wear out.
l Before using the wipers in cold weather,
check that the wiper blades are not frozen on-
to the glass. The motor may burn out if the
wipers are used with the blades frozen onto
the glass.
l Avoid using the washer continuously for
more than 20 seconds. Do not operate the
washer when the fluid reservoir is empty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
l Periodically check the level of washer fluid
in the reservoir 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 re-
sult in loss of washer function and frost dam-
age to the system components.
Rear window demister switch E00507900990
The rear window demister switch can be operated
with the ignition switch in the “ON” position.

rors, these operate in conjunction with the de-
mister. Refer to “Heated mirror” on page

used to adjust the mirror to reduce the glare from
the headlamps of vehicles behind you during night

(LHD vehicles only)
On the driver’s seat side, a compound curved-sur-
face mirror is used, while on the front passenger’s
seat side, a single curvedsurface mirror is used.
1- Compound curved-surface mirror
2- Single curved-surface mirror
While the single curved-surface mirror has a fixed
curvature, the compound curved-surface mirror has
different curvatures between the inner and outer
sides of the boundary line (A).
The inner side of the boundary line provides the
same vision as that available from an ordinary door
mirror.
However, the outer side of the boundary line pro-
vides a wider vision than an ordinary door mirror.
WARNINGl The sense of distance that you get from
an object you see on the inner side of the
mirror boundary line differs from the
sense of distance that you get from an ob-
ject you see on the outer side.
An object you see on the outer side of the
boundary line of the mirror will look far-
ther away than actually is (farther away
than if you see in a normal flat mirror) as
compared with an object you see on the in-
ner side.To adjust the mirror position E00601000570WARNINGlDo not attempt to adjust the rear-view
mirrors while driving. This can be danger-
ous.
Always adjust the mirrors before driving.

type mirrors.
Please take into consideration. Objects
you see in the mirror will look smaller
and farther away compared to a normal
flat mirror.
Do not use this mirror to estimate dis-
tance of following vehicles when changing
lanes.
