Important operation tips forthe air conditioner E00708302098
l Park the vehicle in the shade.
Parking in the hot sun will make the ve-
hicle inside extremely hot, and it will re-
quire more time to cool the interior.
If it is necessary to park in the sun, open
the windows for the first few minutes of air conditioning operation to expel the
hot air.
l Close the windows when the air condi-
tioner is in use. The entry of outside air
through open windows will reduce the cooling efficiency.
l Too much cooling is not good for the
health. Keep the difference between the
vehicle interior temperature and outside
temperature to 5 to 6 °C.
l When operating the system, make sure
the air intake, which is located in front of the windscreen, is free of obstructionssuch as leaves and snow. Leaves collec-
ted in the air-intake plenum may reduce
air flow and plug the plenum water drains.
l Too much cooling/heating can affect the
EV cruising range, so maintain an appro-
priate temperature to extend the EV
cruising range.Air conditioning system refrig-
erant and lubricant recommen-dations
If the air conditioner seems less effective than usual, the cause might be a refrigerant leak. We recommend you to have the system
inspected.
The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant
HFC-134a and the lubricant POE MA68EV.
Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will cause severe damage which will result in the
need to replace your vehicle’s entire air con- ditioning system. The release of refrigerantinto the atmosphere is not recommended.
The new refrigerant HFC-134a in your vehi-
cle will not harm the ozone layer.
We recommend you to recover and recycle the refrigerant for reuse.
During a long period of disuse
The air conditioner should be operated for atleast five minutes each week, even in cold
weather. This is to prevent the compressor from seizing and to maintain the air condi-
tioner in the best operating condition.
Air purifier
E00708400718
An air filter has been incorporated into this air conditioner so that dirt and dust are
cleaned from the air.
Replace the air filter periodically as its ability
to clean the air will be reduced as it collects pollen and dirt. For the maintenance interval,
refer to the “SERVICE BOOKLET”.NOTEl Operation in certain conditions such as driv-
ing on a dusty road and frequent use of the air conditioner can lead to reduction of serv-
ice life of the filter. When you feel that the air flow is lower than normal or when the
windscreen or windows start to fog up easi- ly, replace the air filter.
We recommend you to have it checked.Remote Climate Control*
E00735401074
You can run the air conditioner in advance ofusing the vehicle.
For details, refer to “Remote Climate Con- trol” on page 3-23.

Fluid type
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 or
DOT4 from a sealed container. The brake fluid is hygroscopic. Too much moisture in
the brake fluid will adversely affect the brake system, reducing the performance.
CAUTIONl Take care in handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritate your skin
and also damage painted surfaces.
l Use only the specified brake fluid.
Do not mix or add different brands of brake fluid to prevent chemical reactions.
Do not let any petroleum-based fluid touch, mix with, or get into the brake fluid.
This will damage the seals.
l Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to pre-
vent the brake fluid from deteriorating ex- cept maintenance.
l Clean the filler cap before removing and
close the cap securely after maintenance.Auxiliary battery
E01001203343
The condition of the auxiliary battery is very
important for quick starting of the plug-in hy-
brid EV system and proper functioning of the vehicle’s electrical system. Regular inspec- tion is especially important in cold weather.
Be sure to have a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point check the auxiliary battery.WARNINGl Be sure to have a
MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point
charge the battery. Do not charge the bat- tery yourself. Flammable gases may leak
and explode.CAUTIONl There is a type of auxiliary battery is not
properly installed in the vehicle, even if thesame specification.
When replacing the auxiliary battery, please
contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.NOTEl When the auxiliary battery is removed, the
controlling timer for forcibly starting the en-
gine may be reset.
Since a fuel injection device may cause a clogging if the state where the engine does
not operate continues after reset of the timer,
please press the battery charge switch in or-
der to start the engine. However, when the drive battery is near full charge, even if the
battery charge switch is pressed, the engine
may not start. In that case, press the battery charge switch again after the drive battery
quantity decreases. Refer to “Battery charge
switch” on page 7-22.
l When the auxiliary battery is removed, since
the timer control of the MITSUBISHI Re-
mote Control is reset and the drive battery
temperature control can not be used, com- municate the wireless LAN device and your
vehicle again.
l When the auxiliary battery is removed, the
timer control of the MITSUBISHI Remote
Control is reset and each function of the MITSUBISHI Remote Control can not be
used. Also the drive battery can not be
warmed up.
Communicate the wireless LAN device and your vehicle again.
