NOTE
When defrosting, do not set the temperature
control dial to the maximum cool position.
This will blow cool air on the window glass
and fog it up.
Important air conditioning
operating tips
1. Park the vehicle in the shade whenever
possible. Parking in the hot sun makes the
vehicle interior extremely hot which then
requires more time to cool. If it is neces-
sary to park in the sun, open the windows
for the first few minutes of air condition-
ing to expel the hot air.
2. Afterwards, keep the windows closed
when 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.
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.
Have the system inspected by your authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility
N00733700280
of your choice.
CAUTION
The air conditioning system in your vehicle
must be charged with the refrigerant HFC-
134a and the lubricant SUN-PAG56.
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 HFC-134a in your vehi-
cle is designed not to harm the earth's ozone
layer. However, it may contribute slightly to
global warming.
It is recommended that the old refrigerant be
saved and recycled for future use.

Important air conditioning operating tips
During a long period of disuse
The air conditioning should be operated for at
least five minutes each week, even in cold
weather. This includes the quick defrosting
mode. Operating the air condition system
weekly maintains lubrication of the compres-
sor internal parts to keep the air conditioning
in the best operating condition.
Air purifier
The air conditioning system is equipped with
an air filter to remove pollen and dust.
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 "WARRANTY AND MAINTE-
NANCE MANUAL".
NOTE
Operation in certain conditions such as driv-
ing on a dusty road and frequent use of the
air conditioning can lead to reduction of ser-
vice life of the filter. When you feel that the
air flow is lower than normal or when the
windshield or windows start to fog up easily,
replace the air filter.
Contact your Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice for assistance.
