2011 MITSUBISHI PAJERO IV air condition

Economical driving
E00600100561
For economical driving,
there are some technical re-
quirements that have to be met. The prerequisite
for low fuel consumption is a properly adjusted en-
gine. In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle
and the most economical operation, we recommend
you to have the vehicle checked at regular intervals
in accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gas and
noise are highly influenced by personal driving hab-
its as well as the particular operating conditions.
The following points should be observed in order
to minimize wear of brakes, tyres and engine as
well as to reduce environmental pollution.
Starting
Avoid rapid acceleration and sudden starts; such op-
eration will result in higher fuel consumption.
Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate speed and engine
speed. Always use the highest gear possible.
The transfer shift lever should be set to “2H” when
driving on normal roads and express ways to obtain
best possible fuel economy.
City traffic
Frequent starting and stopping increases the aver-
age fuel consumption. Use roads with smooth traf-
fic flow whenever possible. When driving on con-
gested roads, avoid use of a low gear at high en-
gine speeds.
Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even during idling.
Avoid extended idling whenever possible. Speed
At higher
vehicle
speed, more fuel is consumed.
Avoid driving at full speed. Even a slight release of
the accelerator pedal will save a significant amount
of fuel.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regular inter-
vals. Low tyre inflation pressure increases road re-
sistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low
tyre pressures adversely affect tyre wear and driv-
ing stability.
Load
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the lug-
gage compartment. Especially during city driving
where frequent starting and stopping is necessary,
the increased weight of the vehicle will greatly af-
fect fuel consumption. Also avoid driving with un-
necessary luggage or carriers, etc., on the roof; the
increased air resistance will increase fuel consump-
tion.
Cold engine starting
Starting of a cold engine consumes more fuel.
Unnecessary fuel consumption is also caused by
keeping a hot engine running. After the engine is
started, commence driving as soon as possible.
Air conditioning
The use of the air conditioning will increase the
fuel consumption. Driving, alcohol and drugs
E00600200067
Driving after drinking
alcohol is one of the most fre-
quent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously impaired even
with blood alcohol levels far below the legal mini-
mum. If you have been drinking, don’t drive. Ride
with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab or
a friend, or use public transportation. Drinking cof-
fee or taking a cold shower will not make you sober.
Similarly, prescription and nonprescription drugs af-
fect your alertness, perception and reaction time.
Consult with your doctor or pharmacist before driv-
ing while under the influence of any of these medi-
cations. WARNING
l NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.
Your perceptions
are

less accurate, your
reflexes are slower and your judgment is
impaired. Starting and driving

When a malfunction occurs in the A/T
E00615100035
When the “N” indication lamp blinks E00615200023
When the “N” indication lamp (A) blinks with the
“D” (DRIVE) position
or “Sports mode” being se-
lected, the A/T may be malfunctioning. CAUTION
l
If the “N”
indication lamp blinks while
driving in the “D” (DRIVE) position or
“Sports Mode”, the A/T safety device
may be operating due to a malfunction.
We recommend you to have your vehicle
inspected as soon as possible. When the A/T fluid temperature warning lamp
comes on
E00615300109
When the A/T

fluid temperature warning lamp
comes automatic transmission fluid temperature be-
comes abnormally high. Normally the warning
lamp comes on when the ignition switch is turned
to the “ON” position, and then will go out after a
few seconds. CAUTION
l
If the lamp
comes on, reduce the engine
speed and stop the vehicle in a safe area.
Then set the selector lever to “P” (PARK)
position and idle the engine until the warn-
ing lamp goes off. When the warning
lamp goes off, resume normal driving. If
the warning lamp does not go off, we rec-
ommend you to have your vehicle inspec-
ted. Operation of the A/T
E00604200560 CAUTION
l
Before selecting
a
gear with the engine
running and the vehicle stationary, fully
depress the brake pedal to prevent the ve-
hicle from creeping.
The vehicle will begin to move as soon as
the gear is engaged, especially when the
engine speed is high, at fast idle or with
the air conditioning operating, the brakes
should only be released when you are
ready to drive away.
l Depress the brake pedal with the right
foot at all times.
Using the left foot could cause driver move-
ment delay in case of an emergency.
l Operating the accelerator pedal while the
other foot is resting on the brake pedal
will affect braking efficiency and may
cause premature wear of brake pads.
l To prevent sudden acceleration, never
race the engine when shifting from the
“P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
l Use the selector lever in the correct shift
position in accordance with driving condi-
tions.
Never coast downhill backward with the
selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) or
sports mode position or coast forward
with the selector lever in the “R” (RE-
VERSE) position.
The engine may stop and the unexpected
increase in brake pedal effort and steer-
ing wheel weight could lead to an accident. Starting and driving

CAUTION
l
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.
NOTE l If
you press

the AUTO switch to select auto-
matic control after manually switching be-
tween outside air and recirculated air, the air
selection will also be automatically controlled. AUTO switch
E00702600011
When the
AUTO

switch is pressed, the operation in-
dication lamp (A) illuminates and the mode selec-
tion (except for “ ”), blower speed adjustment,
recirculated/outside air

selection, temperature ad-
justment and air conditioner ON/OFF status are all
controlled automatically. Air conditioning switch
E00703500886
Push the switch to turn the air conditioning on, indi-
cation lamp (A) will come on. Push the switch again to switch it off.
CAUTION
l
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 A/T is stationary, fully depress
the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle
from creeping.
NOTE l If
a problem

is detected in the air condition-
ing compressor, the air conditioning opera-
tion indication lamp (A) blinks. Stop the ve-
hicle in a safe place, turn off the engine, then
restart the engine. If the air conditioning op-
eration indication lamp does not blink, there
is no problem. If it does blink, we recom-
mend you to have it checked.
l Sometimes, for example after using a high-
pressure car wash, the condenser can get wet,
and the operation indication lamp (A) blinks
temporarily. In this case there is nothing
wrong. Stop the vehicle in a safe place, turn
off the engine, then restart the engine. Once
the water evaporates, the blinking will stop. For pleasant driving
