Precautions to observe when using wipers and washers
CAUTION If the washer is used in cold weather, the washer fluid sprayed onto the glass might freeze, blocking your view. In cold weather,heat the glass with the defroster before using the washer.NOTE
Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. This could scratch the glass and wear the wiper blades prematurely. Before using the wipers in cold weather, check to be sure that the wiper blades are notfrozen to the windshield. Using the wipers while the blades are frozen could cause the wiper motor to burn out.
If the wipers become blocked by ice or other deposits on the glass, the motor may still burn out even if the wiper switch is OFF. If deposits form on the windshield, park your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the engine,and clean the glass so that the wipers can operate smoothly. Avoid using the washer for more than 20 sec- onds at a time. Do not operate the washer when the fluid reservoir is empty or thepump may fail. During cold weather, add a recommended washer solution that will not freeze in the washer reservoir. Otherwise the washer may not work or may be damaged. Replace the wiper blades when they are worn. Use the proper size replacementblades. If you have questions, ask your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
