The air conditioning indicator (B) is displayed.
Push the switch again and the air conditioning compressor will
stop and the air conditioning indicator goes off.
NOTEIf a problem is detected in the air conditioning compres-
sor, the air conditioning indicator light (A) blinks. Press
the air conditioning switch once to turn it off, then once
more to turn it back on. If the air conditioning indicator
light (A) does not blink, there is no problem. If it does
blink, have it checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
Sometimes, for example after using a high-pressure car
wash, the condenser can get wet, and the air conditioning
indicator light (A) blinks temporarily. In this case there is
nothing wrong. Wait for a while, press the air conditioning
switch once to turn the system off, then once more to turn
it back on. Once the water evaporates, the blinking will
stop.
CAUTION
!Using the air conditioning slightly increases the
engine idle speed. Therefore, make sure your foot is
firmly on the brake pedal when shifting the tran-
saxle into drive.

2. Select your desired blower speed by turning the blower
speed selection dial.
3. Select your desired temperature by turning the tempera-
ture control dial.For quick defrosting
1. Set the mode selection dial to the “ ” position.
2. Set your blower to the maximum speed.

NOTEWhen the mode selection dial is set to the “ ” or “ ”
position, the air conditioning compressor runs automati-
cally. The outside air position will also be selected auto-
matically. (In this case, the air conditioning indicator light
will not change.)
When the “ ” or “ ” position is selected, you cannot
turn the air conditioning off or use the recirculation posi-
tion. This prevents the windows from fogging up.
When defrosting, do not set the temperature control dial to
the maximum cool position. This would blow cool air on
the window glass and fog it up.

During a long period of disuse The air conditioning should be operated for at least five min-
utes each week, even in cold weather. This includes the quick
defrosting mode. Operating the air condition system weekly
maintains lubrication of the compressor internal parts and
maintains the air conditioning in the best operating condition.
CAUTION
!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 and may require replacing your vehi-
cle’s entire air conditioning system.
The release of refrigerant into the atmosphere is not
recommended.
The new refrigerant HFC-134a in your vehicle is
designed not to harm the earth’s ozone layer. How-
ever, it may contribute slightly to global warming.
It is recommended that the old refrigerant be saved
and recycled for future use.

In the following circumstances, moisture can form on
compact discs and inside the audio system, preventing
normal operation.
• When there is high humidity (for example, when it is
raining).
• When the temperature suddenly rises, such as right after
the heater is turned on in cold weather.
In this case, wait until the moisture has had time to dry
out.
When the CD player is subjected to violent vibrations,
such as during off-road driving, the tracking may not
work.
When storing compact discs, always store them in their
separate cases. Never place compact discs in direct sun-
light, or in any place where the temperature or humidity is
high.
Never touch the flat surface of the disc where there isn’t a
label. This will damage the disc surface and could affect
the sound quality. When handling a compact disc, always
hold it by the outer edge and the center hole.To clean a disc, use a soft, clean, dry cloth. Wipe directly
from the center hole toward the outer edge. Do not wipe in
a circle. Never use any chemicals such as benzine, paint
thinner, a disc spray cleaner, or an anti-static agent on the
disc.
Do not use a ball point pen, felt pen, pencil, etc. to write
on the label surface of the disc.
