Defrosting or defogging (wind- shield, door windows)

CAUTION For safety, make sure you have a clear view through all the windows.
For ordinary defrosting
NOTE
 While the mode selection dial is set between “ ” and “ ” position, the air condition- ing compressor will run automatically. The outside air position will also be selected automatically.
 If the mode selection dial is set between “ ” and “ ” you cannot turn the air con- ditioning off or select the recirculation posi- tion. This prevents the windows fromfogging 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.

Normally, use the outside air position to keepthe windshield and side windows clear and toquickly remove fog or frost from the wind- shield. To change the air selection, simply press the air selection switch. A sound will be madeevery time you press the switch.  Outside air {Indicator light (A) OFF}
Outside air is introduced into the passen- ger compartment.  Recirculated air {Indicator light (A) ON} Air is recirculated inside the passengercompartment.
When the air conditioning turns on, the air selection is controll
ed automatically. When
the air conditioning turns off, the air selectionautomatically goes back to the outside air position. If high cooling performance is desired, or ifthe outside air is dusty or contaminated in some way, use the recirculation position. Switch to the outside air position every nowand then to keep the windows from fogging up.
NOTE
 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.  When the temperature is set to the highest or the lowest setting under the AUTO opera-tion, the air selection and the air conditioning will be automatically changed as follows. Also, if the air selection is operated manuallyafter an automatic changeover, manual oper- ation will be selected. • Quick Heating (When the temperature is set to the highest setting) Outside air will be introduced and the airconditioning will stop. • Quick Cooling (When the temperature is set to the lowest setting) Inside air will be recirculated and the air conditioning will operate.

1. Park the vehicle in the shade whenever possible. Parking in the hot sun makes the vehicle interior extremely hot which then requires 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. The entry of outside air through open windowswill reduce cooling efficiency. 3. When running the air conditioning, make sure the air intake, which is located infront of the windshield, is free of obstruc- tions such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air-intake chamber may reduce airflow and plug the water drains.
If the air conditioning seems less effective than usual, the cause might be a refrigerant leak.Have the system inspected by your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of 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 with an air filter to remove pollen and dust. The air filter’s ability to collect pollen and dirt is reduced as it becomes dirty, so replaceit periodically. For the maintenance interval, refer to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTE- NANCE MANUAL”.
 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.
Important air conditioning operating tips
NOTE
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 be saved and recycled for future use.
During a long period of disuse Air purifier
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 thewindshield or windows start to fog up easily, replace the air filter. Contact your Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your choice for assistance.
