1. Park the vehicle in the shade whenever possible. Parking in the hot sun makes thevehicle interior extremely hot which then requires more time to cool. If it is neces- sary to park in the sun, open the windowsfor the first few minutes of air condition- ing to expel the hot air. 2. Afterwards, keep the windows closedwhen the air conditioner is in use. The entry of outside air through open windows will reduce cooling efficiency.3. When running the air conditioner, 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 conditioner seem
s 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.
For quick defrosting NOTE
While the “ ” indicator light is on, the air conditioning compressor
will run automati-
cally. The outside ai
r position will also be
selected and the blower
speed will be set at
the maximum au
tomatically.
If the “ ” indicator light is on, you cannot turn the air conditioner off or select the recir- culation position. This prevents the windows from fogging up.Type 1 Type 2
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 itup.

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 refrige
rant or lubricant will
cause severe da
mage and may re
quire 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 ma
y contribute slightly to
global warming. It is recommended that the old refrigerant besaved and recycled for future use.
