l While

the engine coolant temperature is low,
the temperature of the air from the heater
will be cool/cold until the engine warms up,
even if you have selected warm air with the
dial.
l On vehicles with the automatic air condition-
ing, when the temperature is set to the high-
est or the lowest setting under the AUTO op-
eration, the air selection and the air condition-
ing will be automatically changed as follows.
• Quick Heating (When the temperature isset to the highest setting)
Outside air will be introduced and the air
conditioning will stop.
• Quick Cooling (When the temperature is set to the lowest setting)
Inside air will be recirculated and the air
conditioning will operate. The settings described above are the factory set-
tings.

The air selection and air conditioning
switches can be customized (function setting
changed), and the automatic switching of outside
air and the air conditioning according to operating
conditions can be changed as desired.
For further information, we recommend you to con-
sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.

Heater/
Manual air conditioning Automatic air conditioning CAUTION
l
Normally, use the outside position to keep
the

windscreen and side windows clear
and quickly remove fog or frost from the
windscreen.
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.
l Use of the recirculation position for exten-
ded time may cause the windows to fog up.
NOTE l On

vehicles with the heater and the manual
air conditioning, when the system operates
with the selection switch in the outside posi-
tion, the system automatically determines
whether to continue using outside air or to
perform recirculation. If the outside air tem-
perature is high, the system selects recircula-
tion and causes the indication lamp (A) in
the switch to illuminate (for vehicles with
the manual air conditioning, the system se-
lects recirculation to achieve rapid cooling).
Press the selection switch to return to outside
air introduction.
l On vehicles with the automatic air condition-
ing, when the mode selection dial or the blow-
er speed selection dial is set to the “AUTO”
position again after manual operation, the air
selection dial will also be automatically con-
trolled. For pleasant driving

Demisting of the windscreen and door windows
E00702100768CAUTION
l
For safety, make sure you have a clear
view through all the windows.
Use the mode selection dial (“ ”
or “ ”) to re-
move frost or mist from the windscreen or door win-
dows. For ordinary demisting
Perform

the following settings to prevent misting
of the windscreen and door windows, and to heat
the leg area.
Heater/Manual air conditioning
Automatic air conditioning 1. Set
the air selection switch (A) to the outside
position.
2. Set the mode selection dial to the “ ”
posi-
tion.
3. Select your desired blower speed by turning the blower speed selection dial.
4. Select your desired temperature by turning the temperature control dial.

3. Set the temperature to the highest position.
NOTE l When the mode selection dial is in the “ ”
position,

the system operates automatically
and outside air is set automatically.
l To demist effectively, direct the air flow
from the side ventilators towards the door win-
dows.
l On vehicles with air conditioning, do not set
the temperature control dial to the max. cool
position. Cool air will blow against the win-
dow glasses and prevent demisting. For pleasant driving

l
For vehicles with the Auto Stop & Go
(AS&G) system, if the mode selection dial is
set to the demister position shown in the illus-
tration, the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system
will not operate and the engine will not stop
automatically even if the vehicle is stopped.
This is to ensure that good visibility is main-
tained.
Introduction of outside air (Heater/Manual air
conditioning) E00702200408
To introduce air into the vehicle during hot weath-
er, set the air selection switch (A) to the outside po-
sition and set the temperature control dial to the po-
sitions

shown in the illustration. Be sure to set the
temperature control dial all the way to the left. Se-
lect the desired blower speed. NOTE
l Turn

the mode selection dial clockwise and
air will flow to the leg area and the windscreen. Important operation tips for the
air conditioning E00708300762
l 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 the interior.
If it is necessary to park in the sun, open the
windows for the first few minutes of air con-
ditioning operation to expel the hot air.
l Close the windows when the air conditioning
is in use.
The entry of outside air through open win-
dows will reduce the cooling efficiency.
l Too much cooling is not good for the health.
Keep the difference between the vehicle inte-
rior temperature and outside temperature to 5
to 6 °C.
l When operating the system, make sure the
air intake, which is located in front of the
windscreen, is free of obstructions such as
leaves and snow. Leaves collected in the air-
intake plenum may reduce air flow and plug
the plenum water drains.
Air conditioning system refrigerant
and lubricant recommendations
If the air conditioning seems less effective than usu-
al, the cause might be a refrigerant leak. We recom-
mend you to have the system inspected.
The air conditioning system in your vehicle must
be charged with the refrigerant HFC-134a and the
lubricant SUN-PAG56.
Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will cause
severe damage which will result in the need to re-
place your vehicle’s entire air conditioning system.
The release of refrigerant into the atmosphere is
not recommended. The new refrigerant HFC-134a
in your vehicle will
not harm the ozone layer.
We recommend you to recover and recycle the re-
frigerant for reuse.
During a long period of disuse
The air conditioning should be operated for at least
five minutes each week, even in cold weather. This
is to prevent the compressor from seizing and to
maintain the air conditioning in the best operating
condition. For pleasant driving

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
