RHDNOTE
On an air conditioned vehicle, the cool air
from the ventilators may appear as a mist.
This is due to moist air being suddenly
cooled by the air conditioning. This will clear
after a few moments.
CAUTION
(1) When using the air condition-
ing, the idling speed may slightly
increase as the air condition-
ing compressor is switched
on/off automatically. Especially
for vehicles with an automatic
transmission, while the vehicle
is stationary, fully depress the
brake pedal to prevent the
vehicle from creeping.
CAUTION
(2) On 3500 models, if a problem is
detected in the air conditioning
compressor, the air condition-
ing operation indicator lamp
blinks. Stop the vehicle in a safe
place, turn off the engine, then
restart the engine. If the air con-
ditioning operation indicator
lamp does not blink, there is no
problem. If it does blink, have it
checked at an authorized MIT-
SUBISHI dealer.
