Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX. Manual - part 111
GENERAL INFORMATION
SMART WIRING SYSTEM (SWS) NOT USING SWS MONITOR
54B-7
• When the front-ECU receives a windshield
washer switch signal from the column switch with
the ignition switch in the ACC or the ON position,
the ECU turns on the windshield washer relay.
When the windshield washer relay becomes ON,
the windshield washer motor starts to run to
spray the washer fluid in the washer tank onto the
windshield through the washer nozzles. When
the windshield washer switch signal remains on
for 0.3 seconds or more, the signal turns on the
windshield wiper relay (The wiper interval
depends. For details, see the list) to operate the
windshield wiper at high speed. Turning off the
windshield washer switch causes the front-ECU
to turn off the windshield wiper relay "T" seconds
later, thus operating the wiper to the auto stop
position at low speed.
• When the windshield washer switch is turned ON
during the intermittent operation of the windshield
wiper, the windshield wiper switches to continu-
ous operation and then resumes intermittent
operation.
NOTE: The function to interlock the washer with
windshield wiper operation can be enabled or disa-
bled with its adjustment function.
HEADLAMP
Headlamp automatic-shutdown function (the initial condition: function available)
Even when the lighting switch (tail lamp switch or
headlamp) is ON, the headlamp (including the tail
lamps) turns off automatically with any of the follow-
ing conditions to prevent the battery discharge
caused by unattended operation.
• If the ignition switch is turned OFF with the light-
ing switch ON, the lamp turns off automatically
after 3 minutes. If the driver's door is opened dur-
ing the 3 minutes, the lamp turns off after one
second (One second before turning off, the lamp
reminder buzzer sounds).
When the lighting switch is turned off and then on, or
the ignition switch is turned ON while the headlamp
automatic shutdown function is active, the head-
lamps illuminate again.
NOTE: For vehicles with the keyless entry system,
this function can be invalidated by the adjusting func-
tion.
