AUTO switch
E00702600011
When the AUTO switch is pre
ssed, the operation indication
lamp (A) illuminates and the m
ode selection (except for “ ”),
blower speed adjustme
nt, recirculated/out
side air selection,
temperature adjustment and air
conditioner ON/OFF status are
all controlled automatically.
CAUTION
!●
Normally, use the outside po
sition to keep the wind-
screen and side windows
clear and quickly remove
fog or frost from the windscreen. If high cooling performance
is desired, or if the out-
side air is dusty or otherwise contaminated use therecirculation position. Switch to the outside position periodically to increase ventilation so that the windows do notbecome fogged up.
●
Use of the recirculation po
sition for extended time
may cause the windows to fog up.

Operating the system in automatic mode
E00704100456
In normal conditions, use the sy
stem in the AUTO mode and
follow these procedures: 1. Push the AUTO switch.2. Select the temperature contro
l dial to the desired tempera-
ture. The mode selection (excep
t for “ ”), blower speed
adjustment, recirculat
ed/outside air sel
ection, temperature
adjustment and air conditioner
ON/OFF status are all con-
trolled automatically.
NOTE●
When the temperature is set
to the highest or the lowest
setting under the AUTO operation, the air selection and the air conditioning will be automatically changed as fol-lows. Also, if the air selection is
operated manually after an
automatic changeover, manual
operation will be selected.
• Quick Heating (When the temperature is set to the high- est setting) Outside air will be introduced.• Quick Cooling (When the temp
erature is set to the low-
est setting) Inside air will be recirculated and the air conditioningwill operate.CAUTION
!●
For vehicles with A/T, while the vehicle is stationary, fully depress the brake peda
l to prevent the vehicle
from creeping caused by
slightly increased idling
speed when the air cond
itioning compressor is
switched on automatically.

For quick demisting

1. Push the demister switch (A) to change to the “ ” posi-
tion.
2. Set the blower to the maximum speed. 3. Set the temperature to the highest position.NOTE●
When the demister switch is
pressed, the air conditioning
will operate automatically and the outside air position will also be selected automatically. (In this case, the air conditioning indication lamp will not change.)
●
To demist effectively, direct
the air flow from the side
ventilators towards the door windows.
●
Do not set the temperature control dial to the max. cool position. Cool air will blow against the window glassesand prevent demisting.
Rear heater* / Rear air conditioning
*E00704600015
The rear heater can be operated when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. The rear air conditioning can only be used while the engine isrunning and the front air conditioning is switched on. When the front air conditioning is
not switched on, only blower
operation without cooling is possible.Control panel

Ty p e B Select the desired temperature level by turning clockwise or anticlockwise.NOTE●
If your vehicle is equipped with rear air conditioning, the rear air conditioning will no
t operate unless the front air
conditioning compressor is operating. Always switch the front air conditioning compressor onbefore using the rear air condi
tioning. If th
e front air con-
ditioning compressor is not operating, the system will just operate as a blower.
Important operation tips for the air
conditioning
E00708300746
●
Park the vehicle in the shade. Parking in the hot sun will make the vehicle inside extremely hot, and it will require more time to cool theinterior. If it is necessary to park in the sun, open the windows for the first few minutes of air conditioning operation to expelthe hot air.
●
Close the windows when the air conditioning is in use. The entry of outside air through open windows willreduce the cooling efficiency.
●
Too much cooling is not good for the health. The inside air temperature should only be 5 to 6 °C below the outsideair temperature.
●
When operating the system,
make sure the air intake,
which is located in front of the windscreen, is free ofobstructions such as leaves
as snow. Leaves collected in
the air-intake plenum may reduce air flow and plug the plenum water drains.

7. Start the engine in the vehicle which has the booster bat-
tery, let the engine idle a few minutes, then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
8. After the engine is started,
disconnect the cables in the
reverse order and keep the engine running for several min- utes.
WARNING

●
Make sure that the conn
ection is made to the
appointed position (shown in the illustration). If theconnection is made directly to the negative side of the battery, the inflammable gasses generated from the battery might catch fire and explode.
●
When connecting the jump
er cable, do not connect
the positive (+) cable to the negative (
–) terminal.
Otherwise sparks might ca
use explosion of the bat-
tery.CAUTION
!●
Use care not to get the ju
mper cable caught in the
cooling fan or other rotating
part in the engine com-
partment.
●
Use the proper cables suitab
le for the battery size to
prevent overheating of the cables.
●
Check the jumper cables fo
r damage and corrosion
before use.
CAUTION
!●
Keep the engine of the ve
hicle giving assistance run-
ning.WARNING
!●
If the battery has to be ch
arged while fitted in the
vehicle, disconnect the
vehicle side negative (
–) ter-
minal connected to the battery.
●
Keep sparks, cigarettes an
d flames away from the
battery because the battery
may produce an explo-
sion.
●
Use adequate ventilation when charging or using the battery in an enclosed space.
●
Remove all the caps before charging the battery.
●
Electrolyte is corrosive diluted sulphuric acid. If electrolyte (battery ac
id) comes into contact with
your hands, eyes, clothes and the painted surface ofyour vehicle, it should be thoroughly flushed with water. If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush them with water immediately
and thoroughly, and get
prompt medical attention.

3. Confirm that the cooling fan is turning. If the fan is not
turning, stop the engine immediately and have it checked.
4. After the engine coolant temperature has dropped to the
normal temperature, stop the engine.

5. Check the coolant level in the reserve tank (A). 6. Add
coolant to the radiator and/or reserve tank if neces-
sary. (Refer to the “Maintenance” section.)
7. Examine the radiator hoses
for coolant leakage and the
drive belt for looseness or damage. If there is anything wrong with the cooling system ordrive belt, we recommend you to have it check and repaired.
WARNING
!●
If there is none, make sure that the engine has cooled down before removi
ng the radiator cap (B),
because hot steam or boiling water otherwise will gush from the filler port and may scald you.
CAUTION
!●
Do not add coolant while the engine is hot. Suddenly adding cold coolant coul
d damage the engine. Wait
for the engine to cool down
, then add coolant a little
at a time.

Engine coolant
E01000501042
To check the coolant levelA translucent coolant reserve tank
is located in the engine com-
partment. The coolant level in this tank should be kept between the“LOW” and “FULL” marks when measured while the engine is cold.
To add coolantThe cooling system is a closed
system and normally the loss of
coolant should be very slight.
A noticeable drop in the coolant
level could indicate leakage. If
this occurs, we recommend you
to have the system checked as soon as possible. If the level should drop below th
e “LOW” level on the reserve
tank, open the lid
and add coolant.
Also, if the reserve tank is completely empty, remove the radia- tor cap and add coolant until the
level reaches the filler neck.
Anti-freezeThe engine coolant contains an ethylene glycol anti-corrosion agent. The cylinder head and
water pump housing are cast alu-
minium alloy, and periodic changing of the engine coolant is necessary to prevent corrosion of these parts. Use “DIA QUEEN SUPER LONG LIFE COOLANT” or equivalent.MITSUBISHI Genuine Coolan
t has excellent protection
against corrosion and rust form
ation of all metals including
aluminium and can avoid blockages in the radiator, heater, cyl-inder head, engine block, etc.
WARNING
!●
Do not open the radiator ca
p while the engine is hot.
The coolant system is u
nder pressure and any hot
coolant escaping coul
d cause severe burns.
