NOTE
 To protect the rubber parts of the wipers, this
operation of the wipers does not take place
when the vehicle is stationary and the ambi-
ent temperature is about 0 °C or lower.
 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
Authorised Service Point.
