Changing the temperature
EH18BOI
Select the desired temperature level by
turning clockwise or anticlockwise.
NOTE
The type C or type D rear air conditioning
will not operate unless the front air condi-
tioning compressor is operating. Always
switch the front air conditioning compres-
sor on before using the air conditioning. If
the front air conditioning compressor is not
operating, the system will just operate as
a blower.
H18A139E
Type A, B, DThe 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.

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 attempt to start the
engine by pulling or pushing the
vehicle.
It could damage your vehicle.
(2) Always wear protective eye
goggles when working near the
battery.
(3) Keep the battery out of the reach
of children.
NOTE
On a vehicle with an anti-lock brake sys-
tem, if the vehicle is started or put in motion
without fully charging the battery, it might
cause the loss of smooth engine opera-
tion and it might cause the anti-lock brake
warning lamp to illuminate.
Refer to“Anti-lock brake system (ABS)”on
page 5-45.
What to do if the engine speed
becomes unstable after the bat-
tery is replaced
EN38B-G
If the engine speed becomes unstable after
the battery is replaced, reset the engine
using the following method:
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Place the gear shift lever (manual
transmission) in the“N”(Neutral) or the
selector lever (automatic transmission)
in the“P”(PARK) position.
Stop the engine.
3. Restart the engine.
4. Turn off the air conditioning.
5. Allow the engine to warm up until the
needle in the water temperature gauge
stabilizes near the centre of the gauge.
6. Stop and restart the engine.
7. Allow the engine to idle for approxi-
mately 10 minutes.
8. When the engine speed stabilizes, the
resetting procedure is complete.
NOTE
If the engine speed remains unstable after
the resetting procedure has been per-
formed, have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.

Fuses
EN09AABa
Fuse blockTo prevent damage to the electric system
due to short-circuiting or overloading, each
individual circuit is provided with a fuse.
There are fuse housings in the passen-
ger compartment and in the engine com-
partment.
The fuse housing in the passenger com-
partment is located in front of the driver’s
seat at the position shown in the illustra-
tion.
The replacement of fuses located in the
passenger compartment should be per-
formed from below the instrument panel.
