NOTE

To protect the rubber parts of the wipers, this operation of
the wipers does not take place when the vehicle is station-
ary and the ambient temperature is about 32 °F (0 °C) or
lower.


Do not cover the sensor by affixing a sticker or label to the
windshield. Also, do not put any water-repellent coating
on the windshield. The rain sensor would not be able to
detect the extent of rain, and the wipers might stop work-
ing normally.


In the following cases, the rain sensor may be malfunc-
tioning. Have the vehicle checked at an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice
 When the wipers operate at a constant interval despite
changes in the extent of rain.
 When the wipers do not operate even though it is rain-
ing.


The wipers may automatically operate when things such
as rain, dust, mud, insects, tree sap, oil or salt are affixed
to the windshield on top of the rain sensor or when the
windshield is frozen. (Operation may also occur due to
strong electromagnetic waves, etc.) Objects affixed to the
windshield will stop the wipers when the wipers cannot
remove them.
To make the wipers operate again, move the lever to the
“LO” or “HI” position.


Contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice when replacing the wind-
shield glass.

Defrosters Check these by selecting the defroster mode, and set the blower
switch on high. You should be able to feel the air blowing
against the windshield.
{Refer to “Defrosting or defogging (windshield, door win-
dow)” on page 5-10, 5-20, 5-30.}Tires Check all the tires for heavy tread wear or uneven wear pat-
terns. Look for stones, nails, glass, or other objects stuck in the
tread. Look for any tread cuts or sidewall cracks. Check the
wheel nuts for tightness, and the tires (including spare tire) for
proper pressures. Replace your tires before they are heavily
worn out.
As your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
system, there is a risk of damage to the tire inflation pressure
sensors when the tire is replaced on the rim. Tire replacement
should, therefore, be performed only by an authorized Mitsub-
ishi Motors dealer.Lights Have someone watch while you turn all the exterior lights on
and off. Also check the turn signal indicators and high-beam
indicators on the instrument panel. Fluid leaks Check the ground under the vehicle after parking overnight, for
fuel, water, oil, or other leaks. Make sure all the fluid levels are
correct. Also, if you can smell fuel, you need to find out why
immediately and have it fixed.
Safe driving techniques
N00629200108
Even this vehicle’s safety equipment, and your safest driving,
cannot guarantee that you can avoid an accident or injury.
However, if you give extra attention to the following areas, you
can better protect yourself and your passengers:

Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic, road and weather
conditions. Leave plenty of stopping distance between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.


Before changing lanes, check your mirrors and use your
turn signal light.


While driving, keep a tight grip on the steering wheel.


While driving, watch the behavior of other drivers, bicy-
clists, and pedestrians.


Always obey applicable laws and regulations. Be a polite
and alert driver. Always leave room for unexpected
events, such as sudden braking.


If you plan to drive in another country, obey their vehicle
registration laws and make sure you will be able to get the
right fuel.
