For quick defrosting 1. Push the defogger switch to change to the “ ” position. 2. Set your blower to the maximum speed. 3. Set the temperature to the highest posi-tion.

1. Park the vehicle in the shade whenever possible. Parking in the hot sun makes the vehicle 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. The entry 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 in the 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 refrigerant leak.
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 cold weather. 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.
NOTE
 While the mode selection is set “ ” posi- tion, the air conditioni
ng compressor will run
automatically. The outside air position will also be selected automatically.  If the mode selection is set “ ” position, you cannot turn the air conditioning off or select the recirculati
on position. This pre-
vents 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 to the maximum cool position. This will blow cool air on the
window glass and fog it
up.
Important air conditioning operating tips 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 ZXL 200PG. Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will cause severe damage a
nd may require replac-
ing your vehicle’s en
tire 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 ozone
layer. However, it ma
y contribute slightly to
global warming. It is recommended that the old refrigerant besaved and recycled for future use.

 Use only the type of compact discs that have the mark shown in the illustrationbelow. (Playback of CD-R or CD-RW discs may cause problems.)  The use of special shaped, damaged com- pact discs (like crac
ked discs) or low-
quality compact discs (like warped discsor burrs on the discs) such as those shown will damage the CD player.
 In the following circumstances, moisture can form on compact discs and inside the audio system, preventing normal opera- tion.
• When there is high humidity (for exam- ple, when it is raining). • When the temperature suddenly rises, such as right after the heater is turned onin cold weather. In this case, wait until the moisture has had time to dry out.
 When the CD player is subjected to vio- lent vibrations, such as during off-road driving, the tracking may not work.  When storing compact discs, always store them in their separate
cases. Never place
compact discs in direct sunlight, or in any place where the temperature or humidityis high.  Never touch the flat
surface of the disc
where there isn’t a label. This will damagethe disc surface and
could affect the sound
quality. When handli
ng a compact disc,
always hold it by the outer edge and thecenter hole.
