2018 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV window

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

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

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

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.

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 Ukraine]
The air conditioning system in your vehicle
must be charged with the refrigerant
HFO-1234yf and the lubricant POE MA68EV.
[Vehicles for Ukraine]
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 refrigerant into 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
E00708400718
An air filter has been incorporated into this air 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.Remote Climate Control*
E00735401087
You can run the air conditioner in advance ofusing the vehicle.
For details, refer to “MITSUBISHI Remote
control: Remote Climate Control” on page 3-24.
Heating
E00733901062
When heating, the engine starts running be-
cause the heating system uses the heat of en-
gine coolant.
On vehicles with electric heater, it can de-
crease the number of times engine starting because electrical power stored in the drive battery is also used when heating.NOTEl If you want to stop the engine running for
heating, select the EV priority mode before operating the air conditioner. Refer to “EV
switch” on page 7-25.LW/MW/FM radio/CD

E00736400029
MP3 is the abbreviation of “MPEG-1 Audio
Layer 3”. MPEG is an abbreviation of “Mo-tion Picture Experts Group”, and this is a vid-
eo compression standard used in video CDs, etc.
MP3 is one of the audio compression meth-
ods contained in the MPEG audio standard,
and reduces the quality of sounds that are be- yond the auditory resolution of the human ear
and that are hidden by louder sounds, thus
creating high-quality data with a lower data
size.
This can compress CD audio to approximate- ly 1/10 its original data size without percepti-
ble loss, approximately 10 CDs can be writ-
ten to a single CD-R/RW disc.
CAUTIONl MP3 files different to the standards at right
may not play back correctly, or file/folder names may not be displayed correctly.
