For quick defrosting
1. Set the mode selection dial to the “ ” position.
2. Set your blower to the maximum speed.
3. Set the temperature to the highest position.
NOTEWhile the mode selection dial is set to the “ ” position,
the air conditioning compressor will run automatically.
The outside air position will also be selected automati-
cally.
To defog quickly, direct the air flow from the side vents
toward the door windows.
When defrosting, do not set the temperature control dial to
the maximum cool position. This will blow cool air on the
window glass and fog it up.

5 Important air conditioning operating tips
N00733700280
1. Park the vehicle in the shade whenever possible. Parking
in the hot sun makes the vehicle interior extremely hot
which then requires more time to cool. If it is necessary to
park in the sun, open the windows for the first few min-
utes of air conditioning to expel the hot air.
2. Afterwards, keep the windows closed when the air condi-
tioning is in use. The entry of outside air through open
windows will reduce cooling efficiency.
3. When running the air conditioning, make sure the air
intake, which is located in front of the windshield, is free
of obstructions such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air-
intake chamber may reduce air flow and plug the water
drains.Air conditioning system refrigerant and lubri-
cant recommendationsIf the air conditioning seems less effective than usual, the cause
might be a refrigerant leak.
Have the system inspected by your authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
During a long period of disuseThe 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 to keep
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.

The air conditioning system is equipped with an air filter to
remove pollen and dust.
The air filter’s ability to collect pollen and dirt is reduced as it
becomes dirty, so replace it periodically. For the maintenance
interval, refer to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE
MANUAL”.NOTEOperation in certain conditions such as driving on a dusty
road and frequent use of the air conditioning can lead to
reduction of service life of the filter. When you feel that
the air flow is lower than normal or when the windshield
or windows start to fog up easily, replace the air filter.
Contact your Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility
of your choice for assistance.
