2003 MITSUBISHI SHOGUN Owner's Manual (in English)

H23A254A
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.
2- Blower speed selection dial
There are 4 blower speeds for control of
the amount of air flow.
Adjust the blower speed by turning the
blower speed selection dial clockwise or
anticlockwise.
The setting for ordinary use should be
the first or second speed.
3- Temperature control dial
The heater will not operate if the dial is
set all the way to the left.
The air flow temperature will gradually
increase as the dial is turned to the right.
NOTE
When the engine coolant temperature is
low, temperature of air introduced into the
passenger compartment does not change
even if the temperature control dial is
moved to the high temperature side.

Main flow directions:
(Face position)
Air flows to the upper part of the
passenger compartment.(Foot/face position)
Air flows to the upper part of the
passenger compartment, and the leg
area.(Foot position)
Air flows to the leg areas.(Foot/ demister position)
Air flows to the leg areas, wind-
screen and door windows.(Demister position)
Air flows to the windscreen and the
door windows.
NOTE
Air always flows out from the side ventila-
tors regardless of the mode selection dial
position.5- Air selection switch
Every time the switch is pressed, alter-
ation is made between outside air intro-
duction and inside air recirculation.
When inside air is recirculated, the indi-
cator lamp comes on.
(Outside position)
Outside air is introduced into the pas-
senger compartment.
(Recirculation position)
Air is recirculated inside the passen-
ger compartment.
NOTE
Normally, use the outside position to keep
the windscreen and side windows clear and
quickly remove fog or frost from the wind-
screen.
If high cooling performance is desired, or
if the outside air is dusty or otherwise con-
taminated use the recirculation position.
Switch to the outside position periodically
to increase ventilation so that the win-
dows do not become fogged up.
CAUTION
Use of the recirculation position for
extended time may cause the win-
dows to fog up.
