NOTElThere is an interior air temperature sensor (A) in the illustrated position.
Never place anything on top of the sensor, since doing so will prevent it from functioning properly.
l While the EV priority mode is activated, except when pressing the demister switch, the engine does not start.
Therefore, if your vehicle is not equipped with the electric heater, the heating performance cannot be obtained while the EV priority mode is activated.
Also, if your vehicle is equipped with the electric heater, the heating performance may not be sufficiently obtained while the EV priority mode is activated. In such case, cancel the EV priority mode. Refer to “EV switch” on page 7-25.
l Since the air conditioning operation is controlled while the ECO mode is operating, you may feel that effectiveness of the air conditioner is weak.
Also, on vehicles without electric heater, the heating performance cannot be obtained while the ECO mode is operating since engine starting is controlled. In such case, cancel ECO mode. Refer to “ECO mode switch” on page 6-61.
l Even if the ECO mode is operating, you can select normal operation of the air conditioner.
On vehicles equipped with the Smartphone Link Display Audio or the MITSUBISHI Multi-Communication System (MMCS), screen operations can be used
to change the setting. Refer to the separate owner’s manual for details.
l In extreme cold, the air conditioning control panel screen may operate sluggishly. This does not indicate a problem.
It will disappear when the vehicle interior temperature rises to a normal temperature.

Temperature control switch
E00703001963
Press or of the temperature control
switch to the desired temperature.
The selected temperature (A) will be shown
in the display.
NOTEl The temperature value of air conditioning is
switched in conjunction with outside tem- perature display unit of the multi informa- tion display.
Refer to “Changing the temperature unit” on
page 6-17.
l While the engine coolant temperature is low,
the temperature of the air from the heaterwill not change instantly, even if you have selected warm air with the switch.
To prevent the windscreen and windows from fogging up, the ventilator mode will be
changed to “
” and the blower speed will
be reduced while the system is operating in the AUTO mode.
l When you feel that it is hot or cold to the
setting temperature, it is possible to adjust so
that you can feel more comfortable.
For further information, we recommend you to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
l When the temperature is set to the highest or
the lowest, the air selection and the air con-
ditioning will be automatically changed as follows.
Also, if the air selection is operated manual-
ly after an automatic changeover, manual operation will be selected.
• Quick Heating (When the temperature is
set to the highest setting)
Outside air will be introduced and the air conditioner will stop.
NOTE• Quick Cooling (When the temperature is
set to the lowest setting)
Inside air will be recirculated and the air
conditioner will operate.
l When the air conditioner is set to quick heat-
ing, the engine starts running (except vehi- cles with electric heater).

The settings described above are the factory
settings.
The air selection and air conditioning
switches can be customized (function setting changed), and the automatic switching of out-
side air and the air conditioner according to operating conditions can be changed as de-
sired.
For further information, we recommend you
to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.

Synchronized mode and dual mode
The driver’s side and the passenger’s side
temperature can be controlled independently. At this time, the “DUAL” indicator (A) will
be shown in the display.
l Synchronized mode
If the driver’s side temperature control switch is pressed, the passenger’s side temperature will also be controlled to the
same setting temperature as the driver’s
side.
l Dual mode
If the passenger’s side temperature con-
trol switch is pressed under synchron- ized mode, the system will switch to du-
al mode. In dual mode, the driver’s side
and the passenger’s side temperature can
be set separately by using each tempera- ture control switch.
Press the AUTO switch to return to
synchronized mode.
Air selection switch
E00703401808
To change the air selection, simply press the
air selection switch.
l Outside air: Indication lamp (A) is OFF
Outside air is introduced into the passen- ger compartment.
l Recirculated air: Indication lamp (A) is
ON
Air is recirculated inside the passenger
compartment.CAUTIONl Use of the recirculation position for exten-
ded time may cause the windows to fog up.NOTEl Normally, use the outside position to keep
the windscreen and side windows clear and
quickly remove fog or frost from the wind- screen.
If high cooling performance is desired, or if
the outside air is dusty or otherwise contami- nated use the recirculation position. Switch
to the outside position periodically to in- crease ventilation so that the windows do notbecome fogged up.
l When the engine coolant temperature rises
to a certain level, the air selection is auto- matically switched to the recirculation posi-
tion and the indication lamp (A) comes on. At this time, the system will not switch tothe outside position even if the air selection
switch is pushed.
l When the outside air temperature is high, the
system will not switch to the outside posi- tion even if the air selection switch is press-
ed or the air conditioner is operating. This is to protect the air conditioner compressor and
is not a failure.Customizing the air selection

In normal conditions, use the system in the
AUTO mode and follow these procedures: 1. Push the AUTO switch.
2. Set the temperature control switch to the
desired temperature.

The mode selection, blower speed ad- justment, recirculated/outside air selec-tion, temperature adjustment, and air
conditioner ON/OFF status are all con- trolled automatically.
NOTEl If the blower speed selection switch, air con-
ditioning switch, MODE switch, or air selec- tion switch is operated while the system is
operating in the AUTO mode, the activated function overrides the corresponding func-
tion of automatic control. All other functions
remain under automatic control.Operating the system in man-
ual mode

Demisting of the windscreen
and door windows
E00704302016
CAUTIONl For safety, make sure you have a clear view
through all the windows.
Automatic climate control air conditioner

For ordinary demisting
1. Set the air selection switch to the outsideposition.
2. Set the MODE switch to the “
” posi-
tion.
3. Select your desired blower speed by pressing the blower speed selection
switch.
4. Select your desired temperature by pressing the temperature control switch.
5. Push the air conditioning switch.
For quick demisting
1. Push the demister switch to change to the “
” position.
2. Set the blower to the maximum speed.
3. Set the temperature to the highest posi- tion.
NOTEl To demist effectively, direct the air flow
from the side ventilators towards the door windows.
l Do not set the temperature to the max. cool
position. Cool air will blow against the win-
dow glasses and prevent demisting.Important operation tips for
the air conditioner E00708302388
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.
