In normal conditions, use the system in the AUTO mode and follow these procedures: 1. Set the blower speed selection dial to the “AUTO” position.
NOTE
If a problem is detected in the air condition- ing compressor, the air conditioning indica- tor light (A) blinks. Press the air conditioning switch once to turn it off, then once more to turn it back on. If the air condi-tioning indicator light does not blink there is no problem. If it does blink, have it checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer ora 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. Wait for a while, pressthe air conditioning switch once to turn the system off, then once more to turn it back on. Once the water evaporates, the blinking willstop.

2. Select the temperature control dial to the desired temperature. The temperature can be set within a range of around 18 to 32. The temperature will increase as the dialis turned to the right. 3. Set the mode selection dial to the “AUTO” position.
The vents (except “ ”), recirculation/out- side air, blower speed, and ON/OFF of airconditioning will be controlled automatically.

To remove frost or mist from the windshield and door windows, use the mode selection dial (“ ” or “ ”). Use this setting to keep the windshield and door windows clear of mist, and to keep the leg area heated (when driving in rain or snow).
1. Set the mode selection dial to the “ ” position.2. Set the air selection switch (A) to the out- side air position. 3. Select your desired blower speed by turn-ing the blower speed selection dial. 4. Select your desired temperature by turn- ing the temperature 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 posi- tion.
NOTE
Set the temperature at about 25 under normal conditions. While the engine coolant temperature is low, the temperature 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. To prevent the windshield and windows from fogging up, the vent mode will be changed to “ ” or “ ” and the blower speed will be reduced.

1. Park the vehicle in the shade whenever possible. Parking in the hot sun makes thevehicle interior extremely hot which thenrequires more time to cool. If it is neces- sary to park in the sun, open the windows for the first few minutes of air condition-ing to expel the hot air. 2. Afterwards, keep the windows closed when the air conditioning is in use. Theentry 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 obstruc- tions such as leaves. Leaves collected inthe air-intake chamber may reduce air flow and plug the water drains.
If the air conditioning seems less effective than usual, the cause might be a refrigerantleak. Have the system inspected by your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facilityof your choice.
The air conditioning should be operated for at least five minutes each week, even in coldweather. This includes the quick defrosting mode. Operating the air condition system weekly maintains lubrication of the compres-sor internal parts to keep the air conditioning in the best operating condition.
N00733800151
The air conditioning system is equipped withan air filter to remove pollen and dust.
NOTE
While the mode selection dial is set to the “ ” position, the air conditioning com- pressor will run automatically. The outside air position will also be selected automati-cally. While the “ ” position is selected, you cannot turn the air conditioning off or selectthe recirculation position. This prevents the windows from fogging up. 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.

Air conditioning system refrig- erant and lubricant recommen-dations
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 replac-ing your vehicle’s entire air conditioning system. The release of refrigerant into the atmo-sphere is not recommended. The new refrigerant HFC-134a in your vehi- cle is designed not to harm the earth’s ozonelayer. However, it may contribute slightly to global warming. It is recommended that the old refrigerant besaved and recycled for future use.

This product supports audio playback from iPod/iPhone devices, however dif- fering versions mean that playback cannot be guaranteed. Please be aware that depending on the iPod/iPhone model or version, operation may differ.
N00715200023
If the product becomes dirty, wipe with a soft cloth. If very dirty, use a soft cloth dipped in neutral detergent diluted in water, and then wrung out. Do not use benzene, thin-ners, or other chemical wipes. This may harm the surface.
NOTE
Operation in certain conditions such as driv- ing on a dusty road and frequent use of the air conditioning can lead to reduction of ser-vice 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.

NOTE
To listen to the audio system while the engine is not running, turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” position. If the ignition switch is left in the “ACC” position, the accessory power will automati-cally turn off after a certain period of time and you will no longer be able to use the audio system. The accessory power comeson again if the ignition switch is turned from the “ACC” position. Refer to “ACC power auto-cutout function” on page 5-55. If a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle, it may create noise in the audio equipment.This does not mean that anything is wrong with your audio equipment. In such a case, use the cellular phone at a place as far awayas possible from the audio equipment. If foreign objects or water get into the audio equipment, or if smoke or a strange odor comes from it, immediately turn off the audio system and have it checked at anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. Never try to repair it yourself. Avoid using the audio sys-tem until it is inspected by a qualified per- son. If the audio system is damaged by foreign objects, water, or fire, have the system checked by a qualified Mitsubishi Motors technician.
The audio amplifier (if so equipped) is located under the front left seat. Do not subject the amplifier to a strong impact. It could damage the amplifier or malfunc-tioning could result.
