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
Mitsubishi 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.

This will prevent the socket from becoming clogged and
short circuiting.
CAUTION

Do not allow children to use or play with the ciga-
rette lighter because they could be burned.

Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice. Leaving the cigarette lighter pushed in for a
long time could cause a fire.
Do not leave the cigarette lighter pushed in. Do not
use a cigarette lighter from another vehicle in this
socket. If you do, the lighter may overheat and cause
a fire.
It is recommended that only the lighter be inserted
in this socket. Using “plug-in” type accessories may
damage the socket and loosen the lighter.
When the cigarette lighter socket is used as a power
source for electronic equipment, be sure that the
equipment runs at 12 V and at 120 W or less.
When using cigarette lighter and 12 V power outlet
simultaneously, make sure that the total power con-
sumption of these does not exceed 120 W at 12 V.
Be aware that using electronic equipment with the
engine not running may run the battery down.
