Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine lIf the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system oper-
ates while the air conditioner is operating,
both the engine and the air conditioning com-
pressor will stop. Therefore, only the blower
will operate.
l If air is flowing from the demister and the en-
gine is stopped automatically, it is recommen-
ded to set the mode selection dial to the De-
mister/Face or Foot/Demister position.
Refer to “Changing the mode selection” on

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine lRecirculated air {Indication lamp (A) is ON}
Air is recirculated inside the passenger com-
partment.
NOTE
l For vehicles with automatic air conditioning,
an automatic fresh/recirculation control func-
tion is included to improve the efficiency of
the air conditioning. If the outside air temper-
ature rises, the air conditioning automatically
switches to the recirculation mode. To deacti-
vate the automatic fresh/recirculation con-
trol, press the air selection switch while the
ignition switch is “ON”. However, once the
automatic fresh/recirculation control is deac-
tivated, it can only be reactivated by ignition
switch is “OFF”.
l When the recirculation mode is selected by
the automatic fresh/recirculation control, the
air conditioning will switch to the outside air
mode for about 30 seconds at intervals of ap-
proximately 20 minutes in order to ventilate
the passenger compartment.
CAUTIONl 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.Air conditioning switch E00703501131
Push the switch, and the air conditioning compres-
sor will turn on. The air conditioning indication
lamp (A) will come on.
Push the switch again and the air conditioning com-
pressor will stop working and the indication lamp
goes off.
CAUTIONl When using the air conditioning, the
idling speed may slightly increase as the
air conditioning compressor is switched
on/off automatically. While the vehicle
with an automated manual transmission
is stationary, fully depress the brake ped-
al to prevent the vehicle from creeping.
NOTE
l If the air conditioning indication lamp is flash-
ing, the air conditioning system may be mal-
functioning. Press the air conditioning switch
to turn off the air conditioning, and then
press the switch again to turn on the air con-
ditioning.
If the air conditioning indication lamp flash-
es again after a while, consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point. If the air conditioning indication lamp
no longer flashes, there is no problem.

the blower speed selection dial.
4. Select your desired temperature by turning
the temperature control dial.
5. Push the air conditioning switch (B).
For quick demisting
1. Set the mode selection dial to the position
shown in the illustration.
2. Set your blower to the maximum speed.
3. Set the temperature to the highest position.
NOTE l While the mode selection dial is set to the po-
sition shown in the illustration, the air condi-
tioning will operate automatically and the out-
side air position will also be selected automat-
ically. (In this case, the air conditioning indi-
cator will not change)
l To demist effectively, direct the air flow
from the side ventilators towards the door win-
dows.
l Do not set the temperature control dial to the
max. cool position. Cool air will blow
against the window glasses and form mist on
them.
l For Clear Tec models, if the mode selection
dial is set to the demister position shown in
the illustration (within ±15° of the center),
the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system will not
operate and the engine will not stop automat-
ically even if the vehicle is stopped. This is
to ensure that good visibility is maintained.Important operation tips for the
air conditioning E00708300948
l Park the vehicle in the shade.
Parking in the hot sun will make the vehicle
inside 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 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.
The inside air temperature should only be 5
to 6 °C below the outside air temperature.
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
should be prevented.
