The washer fluid will be sprayed onto the wind-
screen by pulling the lever towards you. The wip-
ers operate automatically several times while the
washer fluid is being sprayed.
On a vehicle equipped with a headlamp washer, the
headlamp washer operates together with the wind-
screen washer the first time the windscreen washer
is used if the headlamps are on.CAUTIONl If the washer is used in cold weather, the
washer fluid sprayed against the glass
may freeze resulting in poor visibility.
Heat the glass with the defroster or demis-
ter before using the washer.
NOTE
l It is possible to spray washer fluid without ac-
tivating the wipers. To do so, hold the lever
in the pulled position and turn the ignition
switch to the “ON” or “ACC” position.
l It is possible to cause the wipers never to op-
erate when washer fluid is sprayed. For fur-
ther information, we recommend you to con-
sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.Headlamp washer switch* E00510100273
The headlamp washer can be operated when the ig-
nition switch is in the “ON” or “ACC” position and
the headlamps are on.

Push the button once and the washer fluid will be
sprayed on to the headlamps.
NOTE
l If the ignition switch is in the “ON” or
“ACC” position and the headlamps are on,
the headlamp washer operates together with
the windscreen washer the first time the wind-
screen washer lever is pulled.
Precautions to observe when using wip-
ers and washers E00507600014
l 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.
l Do not use the wipers when the glass is dry.
They may scratch the glass surface and the
blades wear out prematurely.
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.

Parking brakeE00600501562
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a complete
stop, fully engage the parking brake, and then
move the gearshift lever to 1 st
(on an uphill) or Re-
verse (on a downhill) position for vehicles with man-
ual transmission or set the selector lever to “P”
(PARK) position on automatic transmission vehi-
cles.CAUTIONl 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 overhea-
ted, resulting in ineffective braking and
possible brake failure.
l When you intend to apply the parking
brake, firmly press the brake pedal to
bring the vehicle to a complete stop be-
fore pulling the parking brake lever. Pull-
ing the parking brake lever with the vehi-
cle moving could make the rear wheels
lock up, thereby making the vehicle unsta-
ble. It could also make the parking brake
malfunction.
l If the brake warning lamp does not extin-
guish when the parking brake is fully re-
leased, the brake system may be an abnor-
mal.
Have your vehicle checked immediately.
For details, refer to “Brake warning
lamp” on page 3-08.Type 1

Parking E00600601202
Parking on a hill
To prevent the vehicle from rolling, follow these
procedures:
Parking on a downhill slope
Turn 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 slope
Turn the front wheels away from the kerb and
move the vehicle back until the kerb side wheel gen-
tly touches the kerb.
Set the parking brake and place the gearshift lever
into the 1 st
position (with M/T) or the selector lever
into the “P” (PARK) position (with A/T).
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
NOTE l 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 se-
lector lever from the “P” (PARK) position
when next you drive the vehicle, requiring ap-
plication of a strong force to the selector lev-
er to move from the “P” (PARK) position.Parking with the engine running
Never leave the engine running while you take a
short sleep/rest. Also, never leave the engine run-
ning in a closed or poorly ventilated place.WARNINGl Leaving the engine running risks injury
or death from accidentally moving the
gearshift lever (on M/T vehicles) or the se-
lector lever (on A/T vehicles) or the accu-
mulation of toxic exhaust fumes in the pas-
senger compartment.
Where you park
Your front bumper can be damaged if you scrape it
over kerbs or parking stop blocks. Be careful when
travelling up or down steep slopes where your bump-
er can scrape the road.
WARNINGl Do not park your vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry grass
or leaves can come in contact with a hot
exhaust, since a fire could occur.
When leaving the vehicle
Always remove the key from the ignition switch
and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unatten-
ded.
Always try to park your vehicle in a well lit area.
