The rear window defogger can be used when the engine is running. The indicator light (A) will come on when you press the electric rear window defoggerswitch. Electric current will flow through the heating wires on the rear window to help clear away moisture or frost.
After about 20 minutes
of operation, the sys-
tem will shut off automatically. To switch the defogge
r OFF before 20 min-
utes have passed, press
the switch again. The
indicator light will go out and the defogger will turn off. If you need the defogger for more than 20 minutes, press the switch
again. This will add
20 more minutes.
Precautions to observe when using wipers and washers
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.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 wipe
rs 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 moving wipers
become blocked part-
way through a sweep by ice or other depositson the glass, the wipers may temporarily stop operating to prevent the motor from over- heating. In this case,
park the vehicle in a
safe place, turn the ignition switch to the“OFF” position or put
the operation mode in
OFF, and then remove the ice or other depos- its.Because the wipers will
start operating again
after the wiper motor cools down, check that the wipers operate
before using them.
Avoid using the washer for more than 20 sec- onds at a time. Do not operate the washerwhen the washer fluid reservoir is empty orthe pump may fail.  During cold weather, add a recommended washer solution that will not freeze in the washer fluid reservoir. Otherwise the washer may not work or may be damaged.  Replace the wiper blades when they are worn. Use the proper size replacementblades. For further info
rmation, please con-
tact your authorized
Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.

N00836300233
If your vehicle breaks down on the road, move to the shoulder and turn on the hazard warning flashers. If there is no shoulder, orthe shoulder is not safe, drive in the right lane slowly with the haza
rd lights flashing until
you come to a safe stopping place. Keep theflashers flashing. If the engine stops, there will be no power assist to the steering and brakes, making these difficult to use.  The brake booster will not work, so the brakes will not grip well. The brake pedal will be harder to press than usual.  Since there is no power steering assist, the steering wheel will be hard to turn.
Get help from your passengers, bystanders, etc. to push the vehicle
and move it to a safe
area.

If the engine cannot be started because the battery is weak or de
ad, you can start it with
the battery from anothe
r vehicle using jumper
cables. 1. Take off any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets th
at might create an
accidental electrical contact. 2. Position the vehi
cles close enough
together so that the jumper cables canreach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other.
3. You could be injured if the vehicles move. Set the parking brake firmly on each vehi- cle. Put an automatic transaxle or CVT in “P” (PARK) or a manual transaxle in “N”(Neutral). 4. Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position or put the operation mode inOFF. 5. Make sure your battery electrolyte is at the proper level. (Refer to “Battery” on page 9-11.)

Jump-starting the engine
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of igniting flammable gas that may be emitted from the battery,carefully read this section before jump- starting the vehicle. Do not try to start you
r vehicle by pushing
or towing. This can cause an accident resulting in serious
injury or death and
can damage the vehicle.NOTE
 Do not use jumper cables if they have dam- age or corrosion.
CAUTION Check the other vehicle.
It must have a 12-
volt battery. If the other system isn’t 12-volt,both systems can be damaged.NOTE
 Turn off all lights, heat
er, and othe
r electrical
loads. This will avoid sparks and help save both batteries.WA R N I N G If the electrolyte fluid is not visible, or looks frozen, DO NOT ATTEMPT JUMPSTARTING!! The battery might spli
t open or explode if
the temperature is below the freezingpoint or if it is not filled to the proper level.

Towing the vehicle by a tow truck
CAUTION This vehicle must not be towed by a tow truck using sling lift
type equipment (Type
A) as illustrated. Using a sling lift will dam- age the bumper and front end.Towing with rear wheels off the ground. Do not tow CVT vehicles with this style. Towing with front wheels off the ground.
 Do not tow continuously variable transmis- sion (CVT) vehicles with the driving wheelson the ground (Type B) as illustrated. If thevehicle is towed like
this, the continuously
variable transmission (CVT) fluid may not reach all parts of the transmission, thus dam-aging it. If you tow CVT vehicles, use Type C, D or E equipment. If the manual transaxl
e is malfunctioning or
damaged, transport the
vehicle with the driv-
ing wheels on a carriage (Type C, D or E) as illustrated. If the vehicle is towed with the ignition switch in the “ON” pos
ition or the operation
mode in ON and only the front wheels oronly the rear wheels raised off the ground (Type B or C), the Active Stability Control (ASC) may operate, result
ing in an accident.
When towing the vehicle with the rear wheels raised, turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” position or put
the operation mode in
ACC. When towing the vehicle with the front wheels raised, keep the ignition switch or the operation mode as follows.[Except for vehicles equipped with the F. A . S . T. - k e y ] The ignition switch is
in “OFF” or “ACC”
position. [Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key] The operation mode is in OFF or ACC.CAUTION

The best way to keep carbon monoxide gas from entering inside your
vehicle is to have
the engine exhaust syst
em properly serviced.
Have a competent mechanic inspect the com- plete exhaust
system and nearby body areas
for broken, damaged, de
teriorated, or mispo-
sitioned parts if you not
ice any of the follow-
ing:  A change in the sound of the exhaust sys- tem  The smell of exhaust fumes inside the vehicle
WA R N I N G If you see a fuel leak
or if you smell fuel,
do not run the engine. Any spark (includ- ing from the ignition
), flame or smoking
material could cause an explosion or fire.Call an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair fa
cility of your choice
