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 E00708302261
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.
[Except for vehicles equipped with air condi- tioning refrigerant (HFO-1234yf) label]
The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant
HFC-134a and the lubricant ND-OIL8.
[Vehicles equipped with air conditioning re- frigerant (HFO-1234yf) label]
The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant
HFO-1234yf and the lubricant ND-OIL12.
Refer to “Refill capacities” on page 11-14.
For details, we recommend you to consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
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.
