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 the
heating wires on the rear window to help
clear away moisture or frost.
After about 15 to 20 minutes of operation, the
system will shut off automatically.
To switch the defogger OFF before 15 to 20
minutes have passed, press the switch again.
The indicator light will go out and the defog-
ger 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.

 If the wipers become blocked by ice or other
deposits on the glass, the motor may still
burn out even if the wiper switch is OFF. If
deposits form on the windshield, park your
vehicle in a safe place, turn off the engine,
and clean the glass so that the wipers can
operate smoothly.
 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 or
the 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 Motors
dealer.
