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 at 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 obstructions such 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 in-
spected.
[Except for vehicles for Russia]
The air conditioning system in your vehicle
must be charged with the refrigerant
HFO-1234yf and the lubricant POE
MA68EV.
[Vehicles for Russia]
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.
We recommend you to recover and recycle
the refrigerant for reuse.
During a long period of disuse
The air conditioner 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-
tioner in the best operating condition.
Air purifier

An air filter has been incorporated into thisair 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.

NOTElIn cold conditions (when the ambient tem-
perature is 0 °C or lower), thickening of the
tyre sealant can make the tyre sealant hard to squeeze out of the bottle. Warm the bottleinside the vehicle.
9. Take the cap (G) off the tyre sealant bot-
tle (H). Do not remove the seal (I).
Screw the filler hose (J) onto the bottle
(H). As you screw the filler hose onto
the bottle, the seal will break, allowing
the sealant to be used.
CAUTIONl If you shake the bottle after screwing on the
hose, sealant may spray out of the hose.
10. Press the hose onto the valve (D). Hold-
ing the sealant bottle upside-down,
squeeze it again and again to inject all of
the sealant into the tyre.NOTEl When injecting the sealant, position the
valve away from the bottom, i.e., away from
the point where the tyre touches the ground. If the valve is near the point where the tyre touches the ground, the sealant may not gointo the tyre easily.
11. After injecting the sealant, pull the hose
off the valve, remove any residual seal- ant from the valve, rim and/or tyre. Fit the valve insert (F) into the valve (D),
and screw the valve insert securely into
place using the valve remover (E).
NOTEl When removing and screwing in the valve
insert using the valve remover, turn the valve remover by hand. Using a tool to turn the valve remover could damage it.

again and drive the vehicle carefully
without exceeding a speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph).CAUTIONl If the tyre pressure is lower than the mini-
mum permitted pressure (1.3 bar {130 kPa}), the tyre cannot successfully be re-
paired with the tyre sealant. Do not drive the vehicle any further. Contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or an-
other specialist.
20. After driving for 10 minutes or 5 km ,
check the tyre pressure using the air
pressure gauge on the compressor. If the
tyre pressure has apparently not drop- ped, the emergency repair procedure iscomplete. You must still not exceed a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). Observe lo-
cal speed limits.
NOTEl If the tyre pressure has dropped below the
specified level when you check it at the end
of the repair procedure, do not drive the ve- hicle any further. Contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or an-
other specialist.NOTEl In cold conditions (when the ambient tem-
perature is 0 °C or lower), the time and driv-ing distance necessary until completion of
the repair can be longer than in warmer con- ditions, meaning that the tyre pressure candrop below the specified level even when
you have inflated the tyre a second time and
subsequently driven the vehicle. If this hap- pens, inflate the tyre to the specified pres-
sure once more, drive for about 10 minutes or 5 km, then check the tyre pressure again.
If the tyre pressure has again dropped below
the specified level, stop driving the vehicle and contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point or another specialist.
21. Immediately drive with great care to a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point and have tyre repair/
replacement performed.
CAUTIONl Be sure to check the tyre pressure for confir-
mation that the emergency repair procedureis complete.NOTEl Please give the empty sealant bottle to your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point when you purchase new sealant or dispose of the sealant bottle according to na-
tional regulations for the disposal of chemi- cal waste.
l A tyre in which puncture sealant has been
used should ideally be replaced with a newone. If you wish to have such a tyre properly
repaired for reuse, please contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point or another specialist. Note that a
proper repair is impossible following an emergency repair if the puncture hole cannot
be located.
l The manufacturer is unable to guarantee that
all tyre punctures can be repaired with the
tyre repair kit, in particular cuts or perfora- tions with a diameter of more than 4 mm or
away from the tyre’s tread. The manufactur- er is not liable for damage sustained throughimproper use of the tyre repair kit.
l The manufacturer is not liable for damage
sustained through re-use of any tyre in which tyre sealant has been used.How to change a tyre
E00801203924

1- Location of the tread wear indicator
2- Tread wear indicator
Check the tyres for cuts, cracks and other damage. Replace the tyres if there are deep
cuts or cracks. Also check each tyre for pieces of metal or pebbles.
The use of worn tyres can be very dangerous
because of the greater chance of skidding or
hydroplaning. The tread depth of the tyres
must exceed 1.6 mm in order for the tyres to meet the minimum requirement for use.
Tread wear indicators will appear on the sur-
face of the tyre as the tyre wears, thereby in-
dicating that the tyre no longer meets the
minimum requirement for use. When these wear indicators appear, the tyres must be re-
placed with new ones.
When replacement of any of the tyres is nec-
essary, replace all of them.CAUTIONl Always use tyres of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no wear differences. Using tyres of differentsize, type, brands or degree of wear, will in-
crease the differential oil temperature, result-
ing in possible damage to the driving sys-
tem. Further, the drive train will be subjec- ted to excessive loading, possibly leading tooil leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous faults.Replacing tyres and wheels
E01007201761
CAUTIONl Avoid using different size tyres from the one
listed and the combined use of different
types of tyres, as this can affect driving safe- ty.
Refer to “Tyres and wheels” on page
12-08.
l Even if a wheel has the same rim size and
offset as the specified type of wheel, its
shape may prevent it from being fitted cor- rectly. We recommend you to consult a spe-
cialist before using wheels that you have.CAUTIONl As your vehicle is equipped with a tyre pres-
sure monitoring system, only MITSUBISHI
Motors genuine wheels should be used. Use
of another type of wheel risks air leaks and
sensor damage, as it will not be possible to install the tyre pressure sensor properly.
Refer to “Tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS)” on page 7-89.NOTEl 16 inch steel wheels cannot be used on your
vehicle because they interfer with brake
parts. Additionally, 16 inch aluminium wheels may not be used on your vehicle de-
pending on there type, even in case of MITSUBISHI MOTORS Genuine wheels.

Tyre wear varies with vehicle conditions,
road surface conditions and individual driv- er’s driving habits. To equalize the wear andhelp extend tyre life, it is recommended to ro-
tate the tyres immediately after discovery of
abnormal wear, or whenever the wear differ- ence between the front and rear tyres is rec-
ognizable.
