switch E00507902297
The rear window demister switch can be op-erated when the operation mode of the power
switch is in ON.
Push the switch to turn on the rear window
demister. It will be turned off automatically
in about 15 to 20 minutes depending on the outside temperature. To turn off the demister
while it is operating, push the switch again. The indication lamp (A) will illuminate while the demister is on.
NOTEl Do not use this switch when the ready indi-
cation lamp is not illuminated. The auxiliary battery could go flat, making it impossible to
start the Plug-in Hybrid EV System.
l Since the demister requires a significant
amount of power, stop the demister as soonas the window is demisted. Using it for along time may reduce the auxiliary battery
voltage, making it impossible to start the
Plug-in Hybrid EV System.
l When the rear window demister switch is
pressed, the outside rear-view mirrors are
defogged or defrosted. Refer to “Heated mir-
ror” on page 7-08.
l On vehicles equipped with the wiper de-icer,
when the rear window demister switch is pushed, the window glass becomes warm
and the wipers become operable. Refer to “Wiper de-icer switch” on page 6-60.NOTEl It is possible to change the setting to make
the rear window demister operate automati-
cally when ambient temperature becomes
low while the ready indication lamp is illu- minated, even if you do not push the rear
window demister switch.
It operates automatically only once after put-
ting the operation mode in ON.
If you choose this setting, the heated mirrors (if so equipped) and wiper de-icer (if so
equipped) will also operate automatically at the same time.
For further information, we recommend you
to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
On vehicles equipped with MITSUBISHI
Multi-Communication System (MMCS), screen operations can be used to make theadjustment. Refer to the separate owner’s
manual for details.
l The demister switch is not to melt snow but
to clear mist. Remove snow before use of
the demister switch.
l When cleaning the inside of the rear win-
dow, use a soft cloth and wipe gently along the heater wires, being careful not to damage
the wires.
l Do not allow objects to touch the inside of
the rear window glass, damaged or broken wires may result.
