2018 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV wiper blades

If the blades are frozen to the windscreen or
rear window, do not operate the wipers until the ice has melted and the blades are freed,
otherwise the wiper motor may be damaged.MIST-Misting function
The wipers will operate once.OFF-OffAUTO-Auto-wiper control
Rain sensor
The wipers will automatically
operate depending on the degree
of wetness on the windscreen.LO-SlowHI-Fast
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 the lever in the “AUTO”
position, the wipers may automatically oper-
ate 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.
For further information, we recommend you
to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.

the headlamps are on, the headlamp washer operates together with the windscreen wash-
er the first time the windscreen washer lever is pulled.Precautions to observe when
using wipers and washers
E00507601327
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, put the operation mode in OFF, and then re-
move 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.Wiper de-icer switch*

Also, do not spill liquid, such as a bever- age, on the sensor.
• Do not install an electronic device, such
as an antenna, or a device that emits
strong electric waves near the sensor.
CAUTION• Always use tyres of the same size, same
type and same brand and that have no sig-
nificant wear differences.
• Do not modify the vehicle’s suspensions.
l If the windscreen on the sensor or in the sur-
rounding area of the sensor is cracked or
scratched, the sensor may not detect an ob- ject properly. This could cause a serious ac-cident. Turn off the FCM and have your ve- hicle inspected as soon as possible at a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
If you need to replace the windscreen, con-
tact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized

eration mode is in ON. Do not look into the sensor by using optical goods such as a mag-
nifying glass. The infrared ray might injure your eyes.
