rises to a certain level, the air selection is au-
tomatically switched to the recirculation posi-
tion and the indication lamp (A) comes on.
At this time, the system will not switch to the
outside position even if the air selection
switch is pushed.

Air purifier
E00708400561
An
air filter has been incorporated into the air con-
ditioning so that pollen and dust are cleaned from
the air.
Replace the air filter periodically as its ability to
clean the air will be reduced as it collects pollen
and dirt. For the maintenance interval, refer to the
“SERVICE BOOKLET”.
NOTE
l Operation in certain conditions such as driv-
ing on a dusty road and frequent use of the
air conditioning can lead to reduction of serv-
ice life of the filter. When you feel that the
air flow is lower than normal or when the
windscreen or windows start to fog up easily,
replace the air filter.
We recommend you to have it checked. Audio system*

For information on operations of the audio system
for vehicles equipped with MITSUBISHI Multi-Co-
munication system (MMCS), refer to the separate
owner’s manual.
The audio system can only be used when the igni-
tion switch or the operation mode is in ON or ACC. NOTE
l To

listen to the audio system while the en-
gine is not running, turn the ignition switch
to the “ACC” position or put the operation
mode in ACC.
If the ignition switch or the operation mode
is left in ACC, the accessory power will auto-
matically turn off after a certain period of
time and you will no longer be able to use
the audio system. The accessory power
comes on again if the ignition switch or the
engine switch is operated with it in the
“ACC” position. Refer to “ACC power auto-
cutout function” on pages 1-12 and 4-11.
l If a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle,
it may create noise from the audio equip-
ment. This does not mean that anything is
wrong with your audio equipment. In such a
case, use the cellular phone at a place as far
away as possible from the audio equipment.
l If foreign objects or water get into the audio
equipment, or if smoke or a strange odour
comes from it, immediately turn off the au-
dio system. We recommend you to have it
checked. Never try to repair it by yourself.
Avoid continuous usage without inspection
by a qualified person.
l The audio amplifier (if so equipped) is loca-
ted under the front right seat. Do not subject
the amplifier to a strong impact. It could dam-
age the amplifier or malfunctioning could re-
sult. For pleasant driving

To tune the radio
E00709100624
Automatic tuning
After
pressing the SEEK button, a receivable sta-
tion will be automatically selected and reception of
the station will begin.
Manual tuning
The frequency changes every time the TUNE
switch is turned. Turn the switch to select the de-
sired radio broadcasting station.
To enter frequencies into the memory E00716101144
Manual setting
You
can assign to the memory select buttons a max-
imum of 18 stations in the FM band (6 FM1, 6
FM2 and 6 FM3 stations) and 6 stations each in the
MW and LW band. (Stations already assigned to
the memory select buttons are replaced by any new-
ly assigned stations.) Follow the steps described below.
1. Press
the SEEK button, or turn the TUNE
switch to tune to the frequency you wish to
keep in the memory. 2. Press
one of the memory select buttons until
it beeps.
The sound will be momentarily interrupted
while the frequency is being entered into the
memory. The number of the button matching
the entry in the memory as well as the fre-
quency is displayed.
3. The preset memory setting is retrieved by pressing the button and then releasing it with-
in 1 second.
NOTE l Disconnecting the battery terminal erases all
the radio frequencies stored in the memory.
Automatic setting
With the method, all manually set stations in the
band currently selected for reception are replaced
with stations in the same band that are automatical-
ly selected in order of signal strength. The radio au-
tomatically selects 6 stations in the FM band (FM3
station only) and 6 stations each in the MW and
LW band.

Follow the steps described below. 1. With the radio mode selected, hold down theAM/FM button for 2 seconds or longer. The
6 stations with the best signal strength will au-
tomatically be assigned to the memory select
buttons, with the lowest-frequency station be-
ing assigned to the lowest-number button.
2. When you subsequently press a memory se- lect button to select a channel number, the ra-
dio will begin receiving the station assigned
to that number. NOTE
l If you press the AM/FM button for 2 seconds
or
longer while tuning in the FM1 or FM2
band, the radio will automatically switch to
the FM3 band, where the automatic seeking/
stroring will be activated.

RDS uses PI (program identification) signal and
AF
(alternative frequency) list transmitted in addi-
tion to the normal FM broadcasting programs, and
picks up the FM stations that are transmitting the
same program from the AF list and automatically
tunes to the station with the strongest signal intensi-
ty.
Therefore, you can continue listening to one pro-
gram in, for example, a long distance driving with-
out retuning to the other station transmitting the
same program when you are leaving the service
area of the currently receiving station.
The RDS radio also features the limited reception
of the program types, the break-in reception of the
traffic announcement to the EON (enhanced other
network) and emergency broadcast, and the limited/
unlimited reception of the regional programs.
AF (Alternative Frequencies) function E00720900162
The AF function finds a station broadcasting the
same

program and selects the station with the stron-
gest signal of AF lists.
The AF function is turned on at all times unless
you manually switch it off.

The AF function can be turned ON and OFF.
Refer to “Function setup mode” on page 5-16.
CT (Clock Time) function E00721000072
The clock can be set automatically by using the sig-
nal

from the local RDS stations. Refer to “Digital
clock” on page 5-39.
REG (Regional) function E00721100116
REG function limits to receive the stations broad-
casting regional programs. Regional programming and regional networks are
organized

differently depending on the country or
area (they may be changed according to the hour,
state, or broadcast area), so if you don’t want to re-
ceive the regional programs automatically, you can
set up REG ON not to receive regional programs.

The REG function can be turned ON and OFF.
Refer to “Function setup mode” on page 5-16.
PI (Program Identification) search function E00721200218
When travelling long distance and the recalled pre-
set

station is weak, the radio searches another fre-
quency broadcasting the same programming with
the same PI code in AF list.
If there are no frequencies broadcasting the same
programming, the radio searches a frequency broad-
casting the regional programming. The radio suc-
ceeds in searching the regional programming, then
the display shows the REG indicator.
If the radio does not succeed in searching the re-
gional programming, the radio returns to the recal-
led preset station.

The PI function can be turned ON and OFF on
some vehicles.
Refer to “Function setup mode” on page 5-16.
NOTE
l While searching, the audio system is muted.
The display shows “WAIT” or “SEARCH”.
PTY (Program type) E00721300323
RDS broadcasts are classified according to pro-
gram

type (PTY) as follows. Use the TUNE/SEEK
button (3 or 4) to select your desired PTY.

The traffic information program standby function
is
turned on (with the TP indicator shown on the dis-
play) and after about 45 seconds since the RDS in-
dicator turns off due to weak signal or the tuning
station is changed over from a TP station to a sta-
tion which does not broadcast traffic information,
the sound will beep 5 times and seeks out a TP sta-
tion in all frequencies automatically.

The TP search function can be turned ON and OFF.
Refer to “Function setup mode” on page 5-16.
Emergency broadcasts E00721700242 If an emergency broadcast is caught while receiv-
ing
a FM broadcast or playing back a compact disc
with the ignition switch or the operation mode is in
ON or ACC, the display will show “ALARM” and
the emergency broadcast will interrupt the current
program. The volume level is set separately for lis-
tening to normal audio programs and for listening
to emergency broadcasts. The volume level will
therefore change automatically to that set when an
emergency broadcast or traffic information broad-
cast was last received. When the emergency broad-
cast is over, the radio will return to the previously
received program and to the corresponding volume
level.
