NOTElThe rear air conditioning will not operate
unless the front air conditioning compressor
is operating.
Always switch the front air conditioning
compressor on before using the rear air con- ditioning. If the front air conditioning com-
pressor is not operating, the system will just operate as a blower.Important operation tips for
the air conditioning E00708300889
lPark 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-
tioning 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. The inside air temperature should
only be 5 to 6 °C below the outside air temperature.
l When operating the system, make sure
the air intake, which is located in front
of the windscreen, is free of obstructions such as leaves and snow. Leaves collec- ted in the air-intake plenum may reduce
air flow and plug the plenum water
drains.
Air conditioning system refrig- erant and lubricant recommen-dations
If the air conditioning 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 ND-OIL8.
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 refrigerant into the atmosphere should be prevented.
The new refrigerant HFC-134a in your vehi-
cle will not harm the ozone layer.
It is recommended that the refrigerant be re-
covered and recycled for further use.
During a long period of disuse
The air conditioning should be operated for at
least five minutes each week, even in cold weather. This is to prevent the compressor
from seizing and to maintain the air condi- tioning in the best operating condition.
Air purifier (with
deodorizing function) E00708400183
An air filter is incorporated into the air condi-tioning system to remove pollen, dust, tobac-
co smells and exhaust smells.
The air filter’s ability to collect pollen and
dirt is reduced as it becomes dirty, so replace it periodically. 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 conditioning can lead to reduction of
service life of the filter. When the air flow rate suddenly drops or when the windscreenor windows start to fog up easily, the air fil-
ter requires replacement. We recommend
you to have it checked.

CAUTIONlTake care not to get the jumper cable caught
in the cooling fan or other rotating part in
the engine compartment.
l Use the proper cables suitable for the battery
size to prevent overheating of the cables.
l Check the jumper cables for damage and
corrosion before use.
7. Start the engine in the vehicle which has
the booster battery, let the engine idle a
few minutes, then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
CAUTIONl Keep the engine of the vehicle giving assis-
tance running.
8. After the engine is started, disconnect
the cables in the reverse order and keep the engine running for several minutes.
WARNINGl If the battery has to be charged while fit-
ted in the vehicle, disconnect the vehicle side negative (-) terminal connected to the
battery.
l Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames away
from the battery because the battery may produce an explosion.WARNINGl Use adequate ventilation when charging
or using the battery in an enclosed space.
l Remove all the caps before charging the
battery.
l Electrolyte is corrosive diluted sulphuric
acid. If electrolyte (battery acid) comes in-
to contact with your hands, eyes, clothes and the painted surface of your vehicle, it
should be thoroughly flushed with water. If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush them with water immediately and thoroughly,and get prompt medical attention.NOTEl If the vehicle is put in motion without fully
charging the battery, it might cause the loss
of smooth engine operation and the anti-lock brake warning lamp to illuminate. Refer to
“Anti-lock brake system (ABS)” on page 6-41.Engine overheating
E00800603875
If the water temperature gauge indication re-
mains in the overheating zone for a long
time, the engine may be overheating. If this occurs, take the following corrective meas-
ures: 1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Check whether steam is coming from the
engine compartment.

[If steam does not come from the engine
compartment]
With the engine still running, raise the bonnet to ventilate the engine compart-
ment.

[If steam is coming from the engine
compartment]
Stop the engine, and when the steam
stops, raise the bonnet to ventilate the engine compartment. Restart the engine.WARNINGl Do not open the bonnet while steam is
coming from the engine compartment. It
could cause steam or hot water to spurt out, causing burns. Hot water could spurt
out even when there is no steam coming out, and some parts will be very hot. Be
very careful when opening the bonnet.
l Be careful of hot steam, which could be
blowing off the reserve tank cap.
l Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap while the engine is hot.

*: Front of the vehicle
WARNINGl Be careful not to get your hands or clothes
caught in the cooling fan.
4. After the engine coolant temperature has
dropped to the normal temperature, stop the engine.
5. Check the coolant level in the reserve
tank (C).
WARNINGl If there is none, make sure that the engine
has cooled down before removing the ra-
diator cap (D), because hot steam or boil- ing water otherwise will gush from the filler port and may scald you.
6. Add coolant to the radiator and/or re-
serve tank if necessary. (Refer to the
“Maintenance” section.)
CAUTIONl Do not add coolant while the engine is hot.
Suddenly adding cold coolant could damage
the engine. Wait for the engine to cool
down, then add coolant a little at a time.
7. Examine the radiator hoses for coolant
leakage and the drive belt for looseness
or damage.
If there is anything wrong with the cool-
ing system or drive belt, we recommend
you to have it checked and repaired.
Engine overheating
8-05OVWE16E1For emergencies8

The coolant level in this tank should be keptbetween the “LOW” and “FULL” marks
when measured while the engine is cold.
To add coolant
The cooling system is a closed system and normally the loss of coolant should be very
slight. A noticeable drop in the coolant level
could indicate leakage. If this occurs, we rec- ommend you to have the system checked as
soon as possible.
If the level should drop below the “LOW” level on the reserve tank, open the lid and
add coolant.
Also, if the reserve tank is completely empty, remove the radiator cap and add coolant until
the level reaches the filler neck.
WARNINGl Do not open the radiator cap while the en-
gine is hot. The coolant system is under
pressure and any hot coolant escaping
could cause severe burns.
Anti-freeze
The engine coolant contains an ethylene gly-
col anti-corrosion agent. The cylinder head and water pump housing are cast aluminium
alloy, and periodic changing of the engine coolant is necessary to prevent corrosion of
these parts.

Use “ MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
SUPER LONG LIFE COOLANT” or equiva- lent.
MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE Coolant
has excellent protection against corrosion and rust formation of all metals including alumi-
nium and can avoid blockages in the radiator,
heater, cylinder head, engine block, etc.

Because of the necessity of this anti-corro- sion agent, the coolant must not be replaced
with plain water even in summer. The re-
quired concentration of anti-freeze differs de- pending on the expected ambient tempera-
ture.Ambient
