NOTETo 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 selector lever is
moved to the “R” (REVERSE) position while the switch
is in the “INT” position.
Following this continuous operation, the wiper will auto-
matically switch to intermittent operation.
In vehicles with multi center display, multi center display
can be used to adjust the time intervals of the intermittent
wiper operation.
For details, refer to “Setting and Customization” on page
3-108.
The washer fluid reservoir is located in the engine com-
partment.
Check the fluid level regularly and refill if necessary. (See
“Washer fluid” on page 7-14.)Precautions to observe when using wipers and
washers

NOTEDo not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. This
could scratch the glass and wear the wiper blades prema-
turely.Before using the wipers in cold weather, check to be sure
that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windshield or
rear window. Using the wipers while the blades are frozen
could cause the wiper motor to burn out.
If the wipers become blocked by ice or other deposits on
the glass, the motor may still burn out even if the wiper
switch is OFF. If deposits form on the windshield, park
your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the engine, and clean
the glass so that the wipers can operate smoothly.
Avoid using the washer for more than 20 seconds at a
time. Do not operate the washer when the fluid reservoir
is empty or the pump may fail.
During cold weather, add a recommended washer solution
that will not freeze in the washer 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. If you have questions, ask
your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
CAUTION
!If the washer is used in cold weather, the washer
fluid sprayed onto the glass might freeze, blocking
your view. In cold weather, heat the glass with the
defroster before using the washer.
