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 conditioner is in use. Theentry of outside air through open windows will reduce cooling efficiency.
3. When running the air conditioner, 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 conditioner 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.
For quick defrosting NOTE
While the “ ” indicator light is on, the air conditioning compressor
will run automati-
cally. The outside air
position will also be
selected and the blower
speed will be set at
the maximum automatically.
If the “ ” indicator light is on, you cannot turn the air conditioner
off or select the recir-
culation position. This prevents the windowsfrom 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.

The air conditioning system is equipped withan air filter to re
move pollen
and dust.
The air filter’s ability to collect pollen and dirt is reduced as it be
comes dirty, so replace
it periodically. For the
maintenance interval,
refer to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTE- NANCE MANUAL”.

The audio system can only be used when theignition switch or th
e operation mode is in
ON or ACC.
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 conditioningsystem. 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 be
saved and recycled for future use.

NOTE
Operation in certain conditions such as driv- ing on a dusty road and frequent use of the air conditioner can lead
to reduction of ser-
vice life of the filter. When you feel that theair flow is lower than normal or when the windshield or windows st
art to fog up easily,
replace the air filter.Contact your Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a

NOTE
To listen to the audio system while the engine is not running, turn the ignitionswitch to the “ACC” ation mode in ACC. If the ignition switch
or the operation mode
is left in ACC, the accessory power willautomatically turn off after a certain period of time and you will no
longer be able to use
the audio system. The accessory powercomes on again if the ignition switch or the engine switch is opera
ted with it in the
“ACC” position. Refer to “ACC power auto-cutout function” on page 5-20 and 5-64. If a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle, it may create noise in
the audio equipment.
This does not mean that anything is wrong with your audio equipment. In such a case,use the cellular phone at a place as far away as possible from the audio equipment. If foreign objects or wa
ter get into the audio
equipment, or if smoke or a strange odor comes from it, immediately turn off theaudio system and have it checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice. Never try to
repair it yourself. Avoid using the audio sys- tem until it is insp
ected by a qualified per-
son. If the audio system is damaged by foreign objects, water, or fi
re, have the system
checked by a qualified Mitsubishi Motors technician.
