Rain sensor
Can only be used when the ignition switch or the operation mode is in ON.
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 operate automatically.
Keep the lever in the “OFF” position if the
windscreen is dirty and the weather is dry.
Wiper operation under these conditions can scratch the windscreen and damage the wip-
ers.CAUTIONl With the ignition switch or the operation
mode in ON and lever in the “AUTO” posi-
tion, the wipers may automatically operate in the situations described below.
If your hands get trapped, you could suffer injuries or the wipers could malfunction. Be sure to turn the ignition switch to the
“LOCK” position or put the operation mode
in OFF, or move lever to the “OFF” position to deactivate the rain sensor.CAUTION• When cleaning the outside surface of the
windscreen, if you touch on top of the
rain sensor.
• When cleaning the outside surface of the
windscreen, if you wipe with a cloth on
top of 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.NOTEl To protect the rubber parts of the wipers,
this operation of the wipers does not take
place even if the lever is put in the “AUTO” position when the vehicle is stationary and
the ambient 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.

to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.

Precautions to observe whenusing wipers and washers
E00507601444
l If the moving wipers become blocked
partway through a sweep by ice or other deposits on the glass, the wipers maytemporarily stop operating to prevent the
motor from overheating. In this case,
park the vehicle in a safe place, turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position
or put the operation mode in OFF, and
then remove the ice or other deposits.The wipers will start operating again af- ter the wiper motor cools down, so
check that the wipers operate before us-
ing them.
l Do not use the wipers when the glass is
dry.
They may scratch the glass surface and the blades wear out prematurely.
l Before using the wipers in cold weather,
check that the wiper blades are not fro-zen onto the glass. The motor may burn
out if the wipers are used with the blades
frozen onto the glass.
l Avoid using the washer continuously for
more than 20 seconds. Do not operate the washer when the fluid reservoir isempty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
l Periodically check the level of washer
fluid in the reservoir and refill if re-
quired.
During cold weather, add a recommen- ded washer solution that will not freeze
in the washer reservoir. Failure to do so
could result in loss of washer function and frost damage to the system compo- nents.Rear window demister
switch E00507901186
The rear window demister switch can be op-erated when the engine is running.
Push the switch to turn on the rear window
demister. It will be turned off automatically
in about 20 minutes. To turn off the demister
within about 20 minutes, push the switch again.
The indication lamp (A) will illuminate while
the demister is on.NOTEl When the rear window demister switch is
pressed, the outside rear-view mirrors are
defogged or defrosted. Refer to “Heated mir-
ror” on page 6-12.
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.

Check body areas facing the road or the tyres
carefully for damage to the paint caused by gravels, etc. The paint code number for your
vehicle can be found on the vehicle informa- tion code plate in the engine compartment.Cleaning plastic parts
E00901300707
Use a sponge or chamois leather.
If a car wax adheres on a grey or black rough surface of the bumper, moulding or lamps, the surface becomes white. In such a case,
wipe it off using lukewarm water and soft cloth or chamois leather.
CAUTIONl Do not use a scrubbing brush or other hard
tools as they may damage the plastic part surface.
l Do not use wax containing compound (pol-
ishing powder) which may damage the plas-
tic part surface.
l Do not bring the plastic parts into contact
with petrol, light oil, brake fluids, engine
oils, greases, paint thinners, and sulphuric acid (battery electrolyte) which may crack,stain or discolour the plastic parts.
If they touch the plastic parts, wipe them off
with soft cloth, chamois or the like and an aqueous solution of neutral detergent thenimmediately rinse the affected parts with
water.Chrome parts
E00901400098
In order to prevent spots and corrosion of
chrome parts, wash with water, dry thorough-
ly, and apply a special protective coating.
This should be done more frequently in win- ter.
Aluminium wheels*
E00901500347
1. Remove dirt using a sponge while sprin-
kling water on the vehicle.
2. Use neutral detergent on any dirt that
cannot be removed easily with water.
Rinse off the neutral detergent after
washing the vehicle.
3. Dry the vehicle thoroughly using a cha-
mois leather or a soft cloth.
CAUTIONl Do not use a brush or other hard implement
on the wheels.
Doing so could scratch the wheels.
l Do not use any cleaner that contains an abra-
sive substance or is acidic or alkaline. Doing
so could cause the coating on the wheels to peel or become discoloured or stained.
l Do not directly apply hot water using a
steam cleaner or by any other means.
l Contact with seawater and road deicer can
cause corrosion. Rinse off such substances as soon as possible.Window glass
E00901600117
The window glass can normally be cleaned
using only a sponge and water.
Glass cleaner can be used to remove oil, grease, dead insects, etc. After washing the
glass, wipe dry with a clean, dry, soft cloth. Never use a cloth that is used for cleaning a
painted surface to clean a window. Wax from
the painted surface could get on the glass and lower glass transparency and visibility.
NOTEl To clean the inside of the rear window, al-
ways use a soft cloth and wipe the window
glass along the demister heater element so as not to cause damage.Wiper blades
E00901700062
Use a soft cloth and glass cleaner to remove
grease, dead insects, etc., from the wiper blades. Replace the wiper blades when they
no longer wipe properly. (Refer to page 10-17.)

When driving with tyre chains on the tyres,
do not drive faster than 50 km/h (30 mph) .
When you reach roads that are not covered in snow, immediately remove the tyre chains.
CAUTIONl Practice fitting the chains before you need
them. Don’t expect help from other people
in the cold.
l Choose a clear straight stretch of road where
you can pull over and still be seen while you are fitting the chains.
l Do not fit chains before you need them. This
will wear out your tyres and the road sur- face.
l After driving around 100-300 metres, stop
and retighten the chains.
l Drive cautiously and do not exceed 50 km/h
(30 mph).
Remember that preventing accidents is not
the purpose of tyre chains.
l When tyre chains are installed, take care that
they do not damage the disc wheel or body.
l Do not install a tyre chain on an emergency
wheel which is compact in size. If one of thefront wheels has punctured, replace it withone of the rear wheels and install the tempo-
rary spare wheel in that place before fitting a
tyre chain.CAUTIONl An aluminium wheel can be damaged by a
tyre chain while driving. When fitting a tyre
chain on an aluminium wheel, take care that any part of the chain and fitting cannot be
brought into contact with the wheel.
l Remove the wheel covers before installing a
tyre chain, otherwise they may be damaged
by the tyre chain. (See page 8-19.)
l When installing or removing the tyre chain,
take care that hands and other parts of your
body are not injured by the sharp edges of the vehicle body.NOTEl The laws and regulations concerning the use
of tyre chains vary. Always follow local laws and regulations.
In most countries, it is prohibited by law to
use tyre chains on roads without snow.Wiper blade rubber
