On rare occasions, air from the vents of an air-conditioned
vehicle may be foggy. This is only moist air cooling sud-
denly and does not indicate a problem.

NOTE

While the engine coolant temperature is low, the tempera-
ture 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.


When the temperature is set to the highest or the lowest
setting under the AUTO operation, the air selection and
the air conditioning will be automatically changed as fol-
lows.
Also, if the air selection is operated manually after an
automatic changeover, manual operation will be selected.
 Quick Heating (When the temperature is set to the high-
est setting)
Outside air will be introduced and the air conditioning
will stop.
 Quick Cooling (When the temperature is set to the low-
est setting)
Inside air will be recirculated and the air conditioning
will operate.
The above indicates the factory settings. You can personalize
the air selection switch and air conditioning switch to match
your personal preferences.
Contact your Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice for assistance.
Refer to “Personalizing the air conditioning switch (Changing
the function setting)” on page 5-12.

Air selection switch
N00737200238
Normally, use the outside air position to keep the windshield
and side windows clear and to quickly remove fog or frost
from the windshield.
To change the air selection, simply press the air selection
switch. A sound will be made every time you press the switch.

Outside air {Indicator light (A) OFF}
Outside air is introduced into the passenger compartment.


Recirculated air {Indicator light (A) ON}
Air is recirculated inside the passenger compartment.When the air conditioning turns on, the air selection is con-
trolled automatically. When the air conditioning turns off, the
air selection automatically goes back to the outside air position.
If high cooling performance is desired, or if the outside air is
dusty or contaminated in some way, use the recirculation posi-
tion. Switch to the outside air position every now and then to
keep the windows from fogging up.
NOTE

If the mode selection dial is set between “ ” and “ ”,
you cannot turn the air conditioning off or select the recir-
culation position.
This prevents the windows from fogging up.


When the mode selection dial or the blower speed selec-
tion dial is set to the “AUTO” position again after manual
operation, the air selection switch will also be automati-
cally controlled.
CAUTION
!

Using recirculated air for a long time may cause the
windows to fog up.
