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.

NOTE

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.

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.

•

When the wipers operate at a constant in-
terval despite changes in the extent of
rain.

•

When the wipers do not operate even
though it is raining.

The wipers may automatically operate when
things such as insects or foreign objects are
affixed to the windscreen on top of the rain
sensor  or  when  the  windscreen  is  frozen.
Objects  affixed  to  the  windscreen  will  stop
the  wipers  when  the  wipers  cannot  remove
them. To operate the wipers again, move the
lever in the “LO” or “HI” position.
Also,  the  wipers  may  operate  automatically
due  to  strong  direct  sunlight  or  electromag-
netic  wave.  To  stop  the  wipers,  place  the
lever in the “OFF” position.
