Air purifier
EH14K-Jb
Operate the blower, and the air purifier
incorporated in the heater or air condition-
ing will operate to purify air in the passen-
ger compartment.
NOTE
The air purifier contains a filter. The dirt
settles on the filter, decreasing the air puri-
fication efficiency. It is, therefore, recom-
mended that the filter be cleaned every 12
months or every 12, 000 km (7,400 miles).
For the detail, refer to your authorized MIT-
SUBISHI dealer.
Important operation tips for air
conditioning
EH04JALc
(1) Park the vehicle in the shade.
Parking in the hot sun will make the
vehicle interior extremely hot, and it will
require more to cool the interior.
If it is necessary to park in the sun,
open the windows for the first few min-
utes of air conditioning operation to
expel the hot air.
(2) Close the windows when the air con-
ditioning is in use. The entry of out-
side air through open windows will
reduce the cooling efficiency.
(3) Too much cooling is not good for the
health. The inside air temperature
should only be 5 to 6°C below the out-
side air temperature.
(4) When operating the system, make sure
the air intake, which is located in front
of the windscreen, is free of obstruc-
tions such as leaves. Leaves col-
lected in the air-intake plenum may
reduce air flow and plug the plenum
water drains.

Air conditioning system refriger-
ant and lubricant recommenda-
tionsIf the air conditioning seems less effec-
tive than usual, the cause might be a refrig-
erant leak. Have the system inspected by
your authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
The air conditioning system in your vehicle
must be charged with the refrigerant
HFC-134a and the lubricant ND-OIL8.
Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will
cause severe damage which will result in
the need to replace your vehicle’s entire air
conditioning system.
The release of refrigerant into the atmo-
sphere is not recommended.
The new refrigerant HFC-134a in your
vehicle will not harm the ozone layer.
It is recommended that the refrigerant be
recovered and recycled for further use.
During a long period of disuseThe air conditioning should be operated for
at least five minutes each week, even in
cold weather. This is to prevent poor lubri-
cation of the compressor internal parts and
to maintain the air conditioning in the best
operating condition.
If this procedure is not followed, the sys-
tem may emit an unusual odour. This is not
a fault in the system.

CAUTION
(1) Do not touch heating element or
lighter housing, hold the knob

mately 30 seconds of being
pushed in.

pushed in for an extended
period could cause fire. If it does
not pop out by itself, pull it out

rected at an authorized MITSUB-
ISHI dealer.

rette lighter from another

CAUTION
(5) It is recommended that only the
lighter be inserted in its socket.
Use of“plug-in”type accesso-
ries may damage the socket and
result in poor retention of the
lighter.
(6) When the cigarette lighter socket
is used as a power source for an
electric appliance, be sure that
the electric appliance operates at
12V and has an electric capac-
ity of 120W or less. In addition,
long use of the electric appli-
ance without running the engine
may run down the battery.
