Mitsubishi Outlander: Headlamp washer switch*

The headlamp washer can be operated with the ignition switch in the “ON” or “ACC” position and the lamp switch at the position. Push the button once and the washer fluid will be sprayed on to the headlamps.

NOTE:
● If the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “ACC” position and the headlamps are on, the headlamp washer operates together with the windscreen washer the first time the windscreen washer lever is pulled.
● Check the headlamp washers periodically to confirm that the washer fluid is being sprayed properly on to the headlamp lenses.

Precautions to observe when using wipers and washers

● If the moving wipers become blocked by ice or other deposits on the glass, the motor may burn out even if the wiper switch is turned to OFF. If obstruction occurs, park your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the ignition, and clean the deposits from the glass so that the wipers operate smoothly.
● Do not use the wipers when the glass is dry. They may scratch the glass surface and the blades wear out prematurely.
● Before using the wipers in cold weather, check that the wiper blades are not frozen onto the glass. The motor may burn out if the wipers are used with the blades frozen onto the glass.
● Avoid using the washer continuously for more than 20 seconds. Do not operate the washer when the fluid reservoir is empty. Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
● Periodically check the level of washer fluid in the reservoir and refill if required. During cold weather, add a recommended 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 components.

Wiper deicer switch*

The rear window demister switch can be operated when the engine is running. When the front wipers have frozen to the windscreen at the parked positions, turning on this switch will heat the windscreen to make the wipers operable. Press the switch and the deicer will operate and turn on the indicator lamp (A).

NOTE:
● The switch is automatically turned off after operating for approximately 20 minutes. To turn off the switch while it is operating, press the switch again.

Rear window demister switch

The rear window demister switch can be operated when the engine is running. Push the switch to turn on the rear window demister. It will be turned off automatically in about 20 minutes. To turn off the demister within about 20 minutes, push the switch again. The indicator lamp (A) will illuminate while the demister is on.

NOTE:
● When the rear window demister switch is pressed, the outside rearview mirrors are defogged or defrosted. Refer to “Heated mirror” on page 4-12.
● When the rear window demister switch is pushed, the window glass becomes warm and the wipers become operable. Refer to “Wiper deicer switch” on page 3-70.
● The demister switch is not to melt snow but to clear mist. Remove snow before use of the demister switch.

● When cleaning the inside of the rear window, use a soft cloth and wipe lightly along the heater wires, being careful not to damage the wires.
● Do not allow objects to touch the inside of the rear window glass, damaged or broken wires may result.
