zPark the vehicle in the shade.Parking in the hot sun will make the vehi-cle inside extremely hot, and it willrequire more time to cool the interior.If it is necessary to park in the sun, openthe windows for the first few minutes ofair conditioning operation to expel the hotair.
zClose the windows when the air condi-tioner is in use. The entry of outside airthrough open windows will reduce thecooling efficiency. zTo o m u c h c o o l i n g i s n o t g o o d f o r t h ehealth. The inside air temperature shouldonly be 5 to 6 °C below the outside airtemperature. zWhen operating the system, make sure theair intake, which is located in front of thewindscreen, is free of obstructions such asleaves and snow. Leaves collected in theair-intake plenum may reduce air flowand plug the plenum water drains. zTo o m u c h c o o l i n g / h e a t i n g c a n a f f e c t t h eEV cruising range, so maintain an appro-priate temperature to extend the EV cruis-ing range.

Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant willcause severe damage which will result in theneed to replace your vehicle’s entire air con-ditioning system. New regulations in supportof the Australian Government’s Ozone Pro-tection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Man-agement Act 1989 became effective inJanuary 2005. To ensure your vehicle servic-ing and repairs conform with requirements,the air conditioning system should beinspected and maintained by a MITSUBISHIMOTORS Authorised Service Point.The air conditioner should be operated for atleast five minutes each week, even in coldweather. This is to prevent poor lubrication ofthe compressor internal parts and to maintainthe air conditioner in the best operating con-dition.
