the windscreen.
LO- Slow HI- Fast
Rain sensor
Can
only be used when the ignition switch is in the
“ON” position.
If the lever is put in the “AUTO” position, the rain
sensor (A) will detect the extent of rain (or snow,
other moisture, dust, etc.) and the wipers will oper-
ate automatically. Keep the lever in the “OFF” position if the wind-
screen is dirty and the weather is dry.
Wiper

operation under these conditions can scratch
the windscreen and damage the wipers. CAUTION
l
With
the ignition switch in the “ON” posi-
tion and the lever in the “AUTO” posi-
tion, the wipers may automatically oper-
ate in the situations described below.
If your hands get trapped, you could suf-
fer injuries or the wipers could malfunc-
tion. Be sure to turn the ignition switch to
the “OFF” position or move the lever to
the “OFF” position to deactivate the rain
sensor. • When cleaning the outside surface ofthe windscreen, if you touch the rain
sensor.
• When cleaning the outside surface of the windscreen, if you wipe with a
cloth the rain sensor.
• When using an automatic car wash.
• A physical shock is applied to the wind- screen.
• A physical shock is applied to the rain sensor.
NOTE l To

protect the rubber parts of the wipers, this
operation of the wipers does not take place
when the vehicle is stationary and the ambi-
ent temperature is about 0 °C or lower.
l Do not cover the sensor by affixing a sticker
or label to the windscreen. Also, do not put
any water-repellent coating on the wind-
screen. The rain sensor would not be able to
detect the extent of rain, and the wipers
might stop working normally.
l In the following cases, the rain sensor may
be malfunctioning. Instruments and controls

Have the vehicle inspected at a
MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service
Point. • When the wipers operate at a constant in-terval despite changes in the extent of rain.
• When the wipers do not operate even though it is raining.
l The wipers may automatically operate when
things such as insects or foreign objects are
affixed to the windscreen on top of the rain
sensor or when the windscreen is frozen. Ob-
jects affixed to the windscreen will stop the
wipers when the wipers cannot remove them.
To make the wipers operate again, place the
lever in the “LO” or “HI” position.
Also, the wipers may operate automatically
due to strong direct sunlight or electromag-
netic wave. To stop the wipers, place the lev-
er in the “OFF” position.
l Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point when replacing the wind-
screen or reinforcing the glass around the sen-

With
the lever in the “AUTO” (rain sensor) posi-
tion, it is possible to adjust the sensitivity of the
rain sensor by turning the knob (A). "+"- Higher sensitivity to rain
"-"- Lower sensitivity to rain
NOTE l It

is possible to activate the following func-
tions. For further information, we recom-
mend you to consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point. • Automatic operation (rain droplet sensi-tive) can be changed to intermittent oper-
ation (vehicle-speed sensitive).
• Automatic operation (rain droplet sensi- tive) can be changed to intermittent oper-
ation (except vehicle-speed sensitive).
Misting function

lease, to operate the wipers once.
Use this function when you are driving in mist or
drizzle. If the lever is held in the upward position (MIST),
the

wipers continue operating until the lever is re-
leased. The wipers will operate once if the lever is moved
to

the “AUTO” position and the knob (A) is turned
in the “+” direction when the ignition switch is
“ON” position. Windscreen washer

If the warning lamp illuminates while
driving
E00607300663
If only the ABS warning lamp illuminates l Avoid
hard braking and high-speed driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
Restart the engine and check to see whether
the lamp goes out after a few minutes driv-
ing; if it then remains off during driving,
there is no problem.
However, if the lamp does not go out, or if it
lights up again when the vehicle is driven,
we recommend you to have the vehicle
checked as soon as possible.
l The ABS warning lamp can illuminate if the
battery voltage is insufficient when the en-
gine is started. In this case, it does not indi-
cate an ABS fault.
Charge the battery by allowing the engine to
idle for a while.
If the battery has been charged but the ABS
warning lamp continues to illuminate or illu-
minates intermittently, have the vehicle in-
spected.
If the ABS warning lamp and brake warning
lamp illuminate at the same time l The ABS and brake force distribution func-
tion may not work, so hard braking could
make the vehicle unstable.
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point. NOTE
l Immediately
after the vehicle starts moving
after engine start up, a whining sound of a mo-
tor will be heard from the engine compart-
ment. If the brake pedal is depressed at that
moment, you can feel the brake pedal pulsat-
ing.
This pulsation is due to the self-diagnosis op-
eration of the ABS and does not indicate a
malfunction.
l After driving on snowy roads, remove any
snow and ice which may have become ad-
hered to the wheel areas.
When doing this, be careful not to damage
the wheel speed sensors (A) and cables loca-
ted at each wheel on vehicles equipped with
an ABS.

The ABS becomes operative after the vehicle
has

accelerated to a speed in excess of approx-
imately 10 km/h (6 mph). It stops operating
