NOTEOn vehicles with CVT, to ensure a clear rearward view,
the wiper perform several continuous operations when the
reverse gear is engaged and the switch is in the “INT”
position.
Following this continuous operation, the wiper will auto-
matically switch to intermittent operation.
It is possible to modify functions as follows:
• Adjustment of the interval for intermittent operation.
• Changing intermittent wiper operation to continuous
wiper operation.
See your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer for
details.
The washer fluid reservoir is located in the engine com-
partment.
Check the fluid level regularly and refill if necessary.
(Refer to “Washer fluid” on page 7-15.)
Precautions to observe when using wipers and
washers
N00523500254
NOTEDo not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. This
could scratch the glass and wear the wiper blades prema-
turely.
Before using the wipers in cold weather, check to be sure
that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windshield or
rear window. Using the wipers while the blades are frozen
could cause the wiper motor to burn out.
If the wipers are left on the glass out of the parked posi-
tion and they 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 seconds at a
time. Do not operate the washer when the washer fluid
reservoir is empty or the pump may fail.
During cold weather, add a recommended washer solution
that will not freeze in the washer fluid reservoir. Other-
wise the washer may not work or may be damaged.
CAUTION
!If the washer is used in cold weather, washer fluid
sprayed onto the glass might freeze, blocking your
view. Heat the glass with the defroster before using
the washer.
