 For quick defrosting
1. Press the defogger switch.
2. Set the temperature to the highest posi-
tion.
NOTE
 While the "
" indicator light is on, the air
conditioning compressor will run automati-
cally. The outside air position will also be
selected automatically.
 If the "
" indicator light is on, you cannot
turn the air conditioner off or select the recir-
culation position. This prevents the windows
from fogging up.
 To defog quickly, direct the air flow from the
side vents toward the door windows.
 When defrosting, do not set the temperature
to the maximum cool position. This will
blow cool air on the window glass and fog it
up.
Important air conditioning
operating tips
 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.
Afterwards, keep the windows closed
when the air conditioner is in use. The
entry of outside air through open windows
will reduce cooling efficiency.
 When running the air conditioner, 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.
 Too much cooling/heating can affect the
EV cruising range, so maintain an appro-
priate temperature to extend the EV cruis-
ing range.
Important air conditioning operating tips
Air conditioning system refrig-
erant and lubricant recommen-
dations
N00733701391
If the air conditioner seems less effective than
usual, the cause might be a refrigerant leak.
Have the system inspected by a certified Mit-
subishi EV dealer.
CAUTION
 The air conditioning system in your vehicle
must be charged with the refrigerant HFO-
1234yf and the lubricant POE MA68EV.
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's
ozone layer. Additionally, it has a signifi-
cantly reduced global warming impact on the
environment, compared to the refrigerant
HFC-134a.
It is recommended that the old refrigerant be
saved and recycled for future use.
