washer  fluid  sprayed  against  the  glass
may  freeze,  which  may  hinder  visibility.
Warm the glass with the defroster or rear
window demister before using the washer.Windscreen wipers E00516900303

The windscreen wipers can be operated with the ig-
nition switch in the “ON” or “ACC” position.

blades are freed, otherwise the wiper motor may be
damaged.

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.

7.Remove dipstick and read the automatic trans-
mission fluid level.
The fluid level should always be between the
two marks on the dipstick.WARNINGl Do  not  spill  the  fluid  onto  a  hot  exhaust
manifold  during  topping  up  or  inspec-
tion, or a fire may occur.
Fluid type
Use  only  “DIA  QUEEN  ATF  SP  III”  transmission
fluid to ensure optimum transmission performance.
Washer fluid E01000700672
The windscreen washer fluid reservoir is in the en-
gine compartment.
Check  the  washer  fluid  level  at  regular  intervals
and add washer fluid to reservoir if necessary.
NOTE
l The  washer  fluid  container  serves  the  wind-
screen and headlamps (if so equipped).
During cold weather
To  ensure  proper  operation  of  the  washers  at  low
temperatures,  use  a  fluid  containing  an  anti-freez-
ing agent.
Brake fluid E01000900687
To check the fluid level
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
The brake fluid level must be between the “MAX”
and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.
The brake fluid level is monitored by a float. When
the  brake  fluid  level  falls  below  the  “MIN”  mark,
the brake fluid warning lamp lights up.
The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake
pads, but this does not indicate any abnormality.
If  the  brake  fluid  level  falls  markedly  in  a  short
length of time, it indicates leaks from the brake sys-
tem.
If this occurs, we recommend you to have the vehi-
cle checked.
Fluid type
Use  brake  fluid  conforming  to  DOT3  or  DOT4.
The brake fluid is hygroscopic. Too much moisture
in the brake fluid will adversely affect the brake sys-
tem, reducing the brake performance.
