Set the mode selection dial to the “ ” posi- tion and set the air selection switch (A) to theoutside air position.Turn the temperature control dial clockwise or counterclockwise to the desired tempera- ture. Select the best speed to fit your needs.
CAUTION When using the air conditioning, the idling speed may slightly increase as the air condi- tioning compressor is switched on/off auto- matically. Especially for vehicles with acontinuously variable transmission (CVT) or Twin Clutch SST, while the vehicle is sta- tionary, fully depress the brake pedal to pre-vent the vehicle from creeping.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 (A) does not blink, there is no problem. If it does blink, have it checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a 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, press the air conditioning switch once to turn the system off, then once more to turn it back on.Once the water evaporates, the blinking will stop.
