Temperature control dial
Turn the temperature control dial clockwise or anti-
clockwise.
NOTE
l
While the engine coolant temperature is low,
the temperature of the air from the heater
will be cool/cold until the engine warms up,
even if you have selected warm air with the
dial.
l When the temperature is set to the highest or
the lowest setting under the AUTO opera-
tion, the air selection and the air conditioning
will be automatically changed as follows.
• Quick Heating (When the temperature is
set to the highest setting)
Outside air will be introduced and the air
conditioning will stop.
• Quick Cooling (When the temperature is
set to the lowest setting)
Inside air will be recirculated and the air
conditioning will operate.
The settings described above are the factory set-
tings. The air selection and air conditioning
E00703000227
switches can be customized (function setting
changed), and the automatic switching of outside
air and the air conditioning according to operating
conditions can be changed as desired.
For further information, we recommend you to con-
sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.

Air selection switch
To change the air selection, simply press the air se-
lection switch. There is a sound each time the
switch is pressed.
l Outside air: Indication lamp (A) is OFF
Outside air is introduced into the passenger
compartment.
l Recirculated air: Indication lamp (A) is ON
Air is recirculated inside the passenger com-
partment.
CAUTION
l Normally, use the outside position to keep
the windscreen and side windows clear
and quickly remove fog or frost from the
windscreen.
If high cooling performance is desired, or
if the outside air is dusty or otherwise con-
taminated use the recirculation position.
Switch to the outside position periodically
to increase ventilation so that the win-
dows do not become fogged up.
l Use of the recirculation position for exten-
ded time may cause the windows to fog up.

NOTE
l When the mode selection dial or the blower
speed selection dial is set to the "AUTO" po-
sition again after manual operation, the air se-
lection switch will also be automatically con-
trolled.
l When the engine coolant temperature rises to
a certain level, the air selection is automati-
cally switched to the recirculation position
and the indication lamp (A) comes on. At
this time, the system will not switch to the
outside position even if the air selection
switch is pushed.
