2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV air condition

The air selection and air conditioningswitches can be customized (function setting
changed), and the automatic switching of out-
side air and the air conditioner according to operating conditions can be changed as de-
sired.
For further information, we recommend you to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.

switch” on page 8-10.
Refer to “Customizing the air selection” on page 8-08.
Synchronized mode and dual mode
The driver’s side and the passenger’s side
temperature can be controlled independently. At this time, the “DUAL” indicator will be shown in the display (A).
l Synchronized mode
If the driver’s side temperature control switch is pressed, the passenger’s side temperature will also be controlled to the
same setting temperature as the driver’s
side.
l Dual mode
If the passenger’s side temperature con-
trol switch is pressed under synchron- ized mode, the system will switch to du-
al mode. In dual mode, the driver’s side
and the passenger’s side temperature can
be set separately by using each tempera-
ture control switch.
Press the AUTO switch to return to
synchronized mode.Air selection switch
E00703401808
To change the air selection, simply press the air selection switch.
l Outside air: Indication lamp (A) is OFF
Outside air is introduced into the passen- ger compartment.
l Recirculated air: Indication lamp (A) is
ON
Air is recirculated inside the passenger
compartment.CAUTIONl Use of the recirculation position for exten-
ded time may cause the windows to fog up.NOTEl Normally, use the outside position to keep
the windscreen and side windows clear and
quickly remove fog or frost from the wind- screen.
If high cooling performance is desired, or if
the outside air is dusty or otherwise contami- nated use the recirculation position. Switch
to the outside position periodically to in- crease ventilation so that the windows do notbecome fogged up.

NOTElWhen the engine coolant temperature rises
to a certain level, the air selection is auto-
matically switched to the recirculation posi- tion and the indication lamp (A) comes on.
At this time, the system will not switch to the outside position even if the air selection
switch is pushed.
l When the outside air temperature is high, the
system will not switch to the outside posi- tion even if the air selection switch is press-ed or the air conditioner is operating. This is
to protect the air conditioner compressor and is not a failure.Customizing the air selection

NOTElIf the blower speed selection switch, air con-
ditioning switch, Mode switch, or air selec- tion switch is operated while the system is
operating in the AUTO mode, the activated
function overrides the corresponding func- tion of automatic control. All other functions
remain under automatic control.Operating the system in man-
ual mode

Blower speed and ventilator mode may be
controlled manually by setting the blower speed selection switch and the MODE switchto the desired positions.
To return to automatic operation, press the AUTO switch.
Demisting of the windscreen
and door windows
E00704302016
CAUTIONl For safety, make sure you have a clear view
through all the windows.For ordinary demisting
1. Set the air selection switch to the outside
position.
2. Set the MODE switch to the “
” posi-
tion.
3. Select your desired blower speed by pressing the blower speed selection
switch.
4. Select your desired temperature by pressing the temperature control switch.
5. Push the air conditioning switch.
For quick demisting
1. Push the demister switch to change to the “
” position.
2. Set the blower to the maximum speed.
3. Set the temperature to the highest posi- tion.
NOTEl To demist effectively, direct the air flow
from the side ventilators towards the door windows.
l Do not set the temperature to the max. cool
position. Cool air will blow against the win-
dow glasses and prevent demisting.

Important operation tips forthe air conditioner E00708302098
l Park the vehicle in the shade.
Parking in the hot sun will make the ve-
hicle inside extremely hot, and it will re-
quire more time to cool the interior.
If it is necessary to park in the sun, open
the windows for the first few minutes of air conditioning operation to expel the
hot air.
l Close the windows when the air condi-
tioner is in use. The entry of outside air
through open windows will reduce the cooling efficiency.
l Too much cooling is not good for the
health. Keep the difference between the
vehicle interior temperature and outside
temperature to 5 to 6 °C.
l When operating the system, make sure
the air intake, which is located in front of the windscreen, is free of obstructionssuch as leaves and snow. Leaves collec-
ted in the air-intake plenum may reduce
air flow and plug the plenum water drains.
l Too much cooling/heating can affect the
EV cruising range, so maintain an appro-
priate temperature to extend the EV
cruising range.Air conditioning system refrig-
erant and lubricant recommen-dations
If the air conditioner seems less effective than usual, the cause might be a refrigerant leak. We recommend you to have the system
inspected.
The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant
HFC-134a and the lubricant POE MA68EV.
Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will cause severe damage which will result in the
need to replace your vehicle’s entire air con- ditioning system. The release of refrigerantinto the atmosphere is not recommended.
The new refrigerant HFC-134a in your vehi-
cle will not harm the ozone layer.
We recommend you to recover and recycle the refrigerant for reuse.
During a long period of disuse
The air conditioner should be operated for atleast five minutes each week, even in cold
weather. This is to prevent the compressor from seizing and to maintain the air condi-
tioner in the best operating condition.

An air filter has been incorporated into this air conditioner so that dirt and dust are
cleaned from the air.
Replace the air filter periodically as its ability
to clean the air will be reduced as it collects pollen and dirt. For the maintenance interval,
refer to the “SERVICE BOOKLET”.NOTEl Operation in certain conditions such as driv-
ing on a dusty road and frequent use of the air conditioner can lead to reduction of serv-
ice life of the filter. When you feel that the air flow is lower than normal or when the
windscreen or windows start to fog up easi- ly, replace the air filter.
We recommend you to have it checked.Remote Climate Control

You can run the air conditioner in advance ofusing the vehicle.

CAUTIONlIf there is any air left in the tyre when you
remove the valve insert, the valve insert may
fly out and injure you. Make sure the tyre
contains no air before removing the valve in- sert.
8. Shake the tyre sealant bottle well.
NOTEl In cold conditions (when the ambient tem-
perature is 0 °C or lower), thickening of the
tyre sealant can make the tyre sealant hard to squeeze out of the bottle. Warm the bottleinside the vehicle.
9. Take the cap (G) off the tyre sealant bot-
tle (H). Do not remove the seal (I).
Screw the filler hose (J) onto the bottle
(H). As you screw the filler hose onto
the bottle, the seal will break, allowing
the sealant to be used.
CAUTIONl If you shake the bottle after screwing on the
hose, sealant may spray out of the hose.
10. Press the hose onto the valve (D). Hold-
ing the sealant bottle upside-down,
squeeze it again and again to inject all of
the sealant into the tyre.NOTEl When injecting the sealant, position the
valve away from the bottom, i.e., away from
the point where the tyre touches the ground. If the valve is near the point where the tyre touches the ground, the sealant may not gointo the tyre easily.
11. After injecting the sealant, pull the hose
off the valve, remove any residual seal- ant from the valve, rim and/or tyre. Fit the valve insert (F) into the valve (D),
and screw the valve insert securely into
place using the valve remover (E).
