Important air conditioning operating tips
For quick defrosting

1. Set the mode selection dial to the "
position.
2. Set your blower to the maximum speed.
3. Set the temperature to the highest posi-
tion.
NOTE
While the mode selection dial is set to the
"
" position, the air conditioning com-
pressor will run automatically. The outside
air position will also be selected automati-
cally.
While the "
" position is selected, you
cannot turn the air conditioning off or select
the recirculation position. This prevents the
windows from fogging up.
To defog quickly, direct the air flow from the
side vents toward the door windows.

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.
