Electric rear window defogger switch
Features and controls 5-207
5
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 the
heating 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 to
20 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 frozen
could 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 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 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.

CAUTION
The rear window defogger is not designed to
melt snow. Remove any snow manually
before using the rear window defogger.
Use the rear window defogger only after the
engine has started and is running. Be sure to
turn the defogger switch off immediately
after the window is clear to save on battery
power.
Do not place stickers, tape, or other items
that are attached with adhesive over the grid
wires on the rear window.
When cleaning the inside rear window, use a
soft cloth and wipe lightly over the grid
wires.
NOTE
The mist can also be removed from the out-
side rearview mirrors when the rear window
defogger switch is pressed. (Refer to
“Heated outside rearview mirror” on page
5-59.)
