1. Park the vehicle in the shade whenever possible. Parking in the hot sun makes thevehicle interior extremely hot which then requires more time to cool. If it is neces- sary to park in the sun, open the windowsfor the first few minutes of air condition- ing to expel the hot air. 2. Afterwards, keep the windows closedwhen the air conditioning is in use. The entry of outside air through open windows will reduce cooling efficiency.3. When running the air conditioning, make sure the air intake, which is located in front of the windshield, is free of obstruc-tions such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air-intake chamber may reduce air flow and plug the water drains.
If the air conditioning 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 facility of your choice.
The air conditioning should be operated for at least five minutes each week, even in coldweather. This includes the quick defrosting mode. Operating the air conditioning system weekly maintains lubrication of the compres-sor internal parts to keep the air conditioning in the best operating condition.

Important air conditioning operation tips
CAUTION The engine speed may increase when the air conditioning is operating. With increased engine speed, a CVT equipped vehicle will creep to a greaterdegree than with a lower engine speed. Fully depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi- cle from creeping.
Air conditioning system refrig- erant and lubricant recommen- dations
CAUTION The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant HFO-1234yf and the lubricant PAG46A. Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will cause severe damage and may require replac-ing your vehicle’s entire air conditioning system. The release of refrigerant into the atmo-sphere is not recommended. The new refrigerant HFO-1234yf in your vehicle is designed not to harm the earth’sozone layer. However, it may contribute slightly to global warming. It is recommended that the old refrigerant be saved and recycled for future use.

To change the position and amount of airflowing from the vents, press the MODEswitch or defogger switch. Refer to “MODE switch” on page 7-9, 7-18, “Defogger switch” on page 7-9, 7-18.These symbols are used in the next several illustrations to demonstrate the quantity of air coming from the vents. : Small amount of air from the vents : Medium amount of air from the vents : Large amount of air from the vents Air flows only to the upper part of the passen- ger compartment.

NOTE
 On rare occasions, air from the vents of an air-conditioned vehicle may be foggy. This isonly due to moist air cooling suddenly and does not indicate a problem.  Do not let drinks or ot
her liquids get into the
vents as they could prevent the air condition- ing from operating normally.Left Right

Press of the blower speed selection
switch to increase the blower speed.
Press of the blower speed selection
switch to decrease the blower speed.
The selected blower speed (A) will be shown
in the display.
NOTE
There is an interior air temperature sensor
(A) in the illustrated position.
Never place anything over the sensor, since
doing so will prevent it from functioning
properly.
 Since the air conditioning operation is con-
trolled while the ECO mode is operating,
you may feel that effectiveness of the air
conditioning is insufficient.
Refer to “ECO mode switch” on page 5-201.
 Even during ECO mode operation, you can
select normal operation of the air condition-
ing.
On vehicles equipped with the Smartphone
Link Display Audio, screen operations can
be used to change the setting. Refer to the
separate owner’s manual for details.
 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.

NOTE
Due to a drop in the battery voltage or some
other problem, the blower speed may tempo-
rarily become less than the selected blower
speed display setting or the fan may stop.
If the fan stops, turn the ignition switch to
the “OFF” position or set the operation mode
to OFF, wait a few minutes, and then turn the
ignition switch back to the “ON” position or
set the operation mode back to ON.
In the following cases, have the system
inspected by your authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice.
• The blower speed remains lower than the blower speed set using the blower speed
display or the blower speed decreases fre-
quently.
• The fan does not operate even after stop- ping and restarting the engine or the fan
stops frequently.
