For ordinary defrosting
Use this setting to keep the windshield and door windows clear,
and to keep the leg area heated (when driving in rain or snow).
1. Set the mode selection dial to the “ ” position.
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.
3. Set the temperature to the highest position.
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.

Important air conditioning operating tips
N00733700293
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 recommendations If 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 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.

7 General maintenance
N00941500159
The next pages list the maintenance service recommended by
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation. In addition to the general
maintenance that needs to be performed at the times listed,
there are other parts which do not usually need regular mainte-
nance.
But, if any of these parts stops working properly, your vehicle
performance could suffer. Have these items checked if you
notice a problem with them.
See your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer for assistance, if
you have any questions.Disc brake pads
N00941600020
Good brakes are essential to safe driving. Check the brake pads
for wear. For good braking performance, replace the brake pads
with the same type pads as the originals.Brake hoses
N00941700089
Brake hoses and tubing should be checked for:
Severe surface cracking, scuffing or worn spots. If the
fabric casing of the hose is showing through any cracks or
worn spots in the rubber hose cover, the hose should be
replaced. The brakes can fail if the hose wears through.
Improper installation may cause twisting, or wheel, tire or
chassis interference.
Ball joint, steering linkage seals and drive shaft
boots
N00941800107
Check the following parts for damage and grease leaks:
Ball joint boots of the front suspension and steering link-
age
Bellows on both ends of the drive shaftDrive belt (for generator, power steering pump,
air conditioning compressor)
N00941900137
