zSince the demister requires a significantamount of power, stop the demister as soonas the window is demi
sted. Using it for a
long time may reduce the auxiliary batteryvoltage, making it impossible to start thePlug-in Hybrid EV System.zOn vehicles equipped with heated mirrors,when the rear window demister switch ispressed, the outside rear-view mirrors aredefogged or defrosted. Refer to “Heated mir-ror” on page 7-9.zOn vehicles equipped with the wiper deicer,when the rear window demister switch ispushed, the window glass becomes warmand the wipers become operable. Refer to“Wiper deicer switch” on page 6-53.NOTE
zIt is possible to cha
nge the setting to make
the rear window demister operate automati-cally when ambient
temperature becomes
low while the ready indicator lamp is illumi-nated, even if you do not push the rear win-dow demister switch.It operates automatica
lly only once after put-
ting the operation mode in ON.If you choose this setting, the heated mirrors(if so equipped) and
wiper deicer (if so
equipped) will also operate automatically atthe same time.For further informati
on, we recommend you
to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORSAuthorised Service Point.On vehicles equipped
with Mitsubishi Multi-
Communication System (MMCS), screenoperations can be used to make the adjust-ment. Refer to the se
parate owner’s manual
for details.zThe demister switch is
not to melt snow but
to clear mist. Remove snow before use of thedemister switch.zWhen cleaning the inside of the rear window,use a soft cloth and
wipe lightly along the
heater wires, being careful not to damage thewires.zDo not allow objects to
touch the inside of
the rear window glass,
damaged or broken
wires may result.NOTE

ry to stop the vehicle
immediately, but the vehicle should beinspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORSAuthorised Service Poin
t as soon as possible.
Brake assist system
CAUTIONzThe brake assist system is not a devicedesigned to exercise braking force greaterthan its capacity. Make sure to always keep asufficient distance be
tween vehicles in front
of you without relying too much on the brakeassist system.NOTE
zOnce the brake assist system is operational,it maintains great braking force even if thebrake pedal is lightly released.To s t o p i t s o p e r a t i o n , c o m p l e t e l y r e m o v eyour foot from the brake pedal.zWhen the brake assist system is in use whiledriving, you may feel as if the depressedbrake pedal is soft, the pedal moves in smallmotions in conjunction
with the operation
