N00523701556
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 defogger switch. Electric current will flow through theheating wires on the rear window to help clear away moisture or frost. After approximately 15 to 20 minutes of operation, the system will shut off automati- cally. To switch the defogger OFF before 15 to20 minutes 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 15 to 20 minutes, press the switch again. This will add 15 to 20 more minutes.
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 wipers in cold weather, check to be sure that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windshield or rear window. Using the wipers while the blades are frozencould cause the wiper motor to burn out.  If the moving wipers become blocked part- way through a sweep by ice or other deposits on 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 i
gnition switch to the
“OFF” position or put the operation mode inOFF, and then remove the ice or other depos- its. Because the wipers will start operating againafter 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 washer when 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 replacement blades. For further information, please con- tact your authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer.

The original equipmen
t floor mat provided
with your vehicle was specifically designedfor your vehicle. Always properly position the floor mat and assure it does not interfere with operation ofthe pedals. Always use the retaining clip on the driver’s floorboard to secure the floor mat. When used, this clip will help preventthe floor mat from moving forward and possi- bly interfering with the operation of the ped- als. To prevent the floor mat from movingforward and possibly interfering with the operation of the pedals, Mitsubishi Motors Genuine floor mats are recommended.

1. Place the floor mat to fit the shape of thefloorboard.
2. Align the floor mat with the installation holes over the retaining clips. 3. Secure the floor mat with retaining clips.
WA R N I N G NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE. Your perceptions are less accurate, your reflexes are slower and your judgment isimpaired.

NOTE
 The shape of the mat and the number of retaining clips may vary depending on the vehicle model.WA R N I N G If a floor mat is the wrong size or is not properly installed, it can interfere with the operation of the pedals. Interference with the pedals can cause unintended accelera-tion and/or increased stopping distances resulting in a crash and injury. Always make sure the floor mat does not interferewith the accelerator or brake pedal. Always use the reta
ining clip on the
driver’s floorboard to secure the floor mat.

Driving during cold weather

 Always obey applicable laws and regula- tions. Be a polite and alert driver. Always leave room for unexpected events, such as sudden braking. If you plan to drive in another country, obey their vehicle registration laws and make sure you will be able to get the rightfuel.
N00629400445
 Check the battery. At the same time, check the terminals and wiring. Duringextremely cold weather, the battery will not be as strong. Also, the battery power level may drop because more power isused for cold starting and driving. Before driving the vehicle, check to see if the engine runs at the proper speed and ifthe headlights are as bright as normally. Charge or replace the battery if necessary. During extreme cold weather, it is possi-ble that a very low battery could freeze.
 Warm the engine sufficiently. After start- ing the engine, allow a short warm-up time to distribute oil to all cylinders. Then drive your vehicle slowly.Stay at low speeds at first so that the transaxle, transfer case and rear axle oil have time to spread to all lubricationpoints.  Check the engine antifreeze. If there is not enough coolant because of aleak or from engine overheating, addMitsubishi Motors Genuine Super Long Life Coolant Premium or equivalent. Please read this section in conjunctionwith the “Engine coolant” on page 9-7.

All the parts of the brake system are criticalto safety. Have the vehicle serviced by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice at regular inter-vals according to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
Check the brake system while driving at a low speed immediately after starting, espe-cially when the brakes are wet, to confirm they work normally. A film of water can be formed on the brakediscs and prevent normal braking after driv- ing in heavy rain or through large puddles, or after the vehicle is wash
ed. If this occurs, dry
the brakes out by driving slowly while lightlydepressing the brake pedal. On snowy roads, ice can form on the braking system, making the brakes less effective. While driving in such conditions, pay close attention to surrounding vehicles and to thecondition of the road surface. From time to time, lightly depress the brake pedal and check how effective the brakes are. It is important to take advantage of the engine braking by downshifting while driving onsteep downhill roads in order to prevent the brakes from overheating.
Driving during cold weather
WA R N I N G The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas. Any spark or flame can cause the bat-tery to explode, which could cause serious injury or death. Always wear protective clothes and a facemask when working with your battery, or let a skilled mechanic do it.
WA R N I N G Never open the radiator cap when the radiator is hot. You could be seriously burned.

Trailer towing
Driving safety 6-13
6
A safety chain must always be used between the towing vehicle and the trailer. Leave suf- ficient slack in the chain for turns. The chain should cross under the trailer tongue to pre-vent the tongue from dropping to the ground in case it becomes damaged or separated. For correct safety chain procedures, consultyour authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
Your vehicle will need service more often when you’re towing a trailer. Refer to “WAR- RANTY AND MAINTENANCE MAN- UAL”. Especially important in traileroperation are automatic transaxle fluid, engine oil, rear axle oil, belt, cooling system and brake system. Each of these is covered inthis manual.For details, please refer to the “Vehicle care and maintenance” section. Check periodically to see that all hitch nutsand bolts are tight. Mitsubishi Motors recommends that any trailer having a total weight of 1,250 lb (567 kg) or more be equipped with its own electric or surge-type brakes. If you choose electric brakes, be sure they are electrically actuated. Do not attempt to tap into your vehicle’s hydraulic system. No mat- ter how successful it may seem, any attemptto attach trailer brakes to your vehicle’s hydraulic system will lower braking effec- tiveness and create a potential hazard.
Trailer lights and equipment must comply with federal, state, and local regulations.Check with your local recreational vehicle dealer for the requirements in your area, and use only equipment designed for your vehi-cle. Since lighting and wiring vary by trailer type and brand, you should have a qualified tech- nician install a suitable connector between the vehicle and the trailer. Improper equipment orinstallation can cause damage to your vehi- cle’s electrical system and affect your vehicle warranty. Many states and Canadian provinces require special outside mirrors when towing a trailer.Even if not required, you should install spe- cial mirrors if you cannot clearly see behind you, or if the trailer creates a blind spot. Ask your trailer sales or rental agency if any other items are recommended or required for your towing situation.
NOTE
 Mitsubishi Motors recommends that sway control be used when
ever you are towing, to
improve towing stability. For further information, please contact your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
Safety chains
CAUTION Never tow a trailer without using a safety chain securely attached to both the trailer and the vehicle. If the coupling unit or hitch ball experiences a problem, the trailer may separate from your vehicle.
