NOTElFor vehicles with the Auto Stop & Go
(AS&G) system, if the demister switch is
pressed, the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) sys- tem will not operate and the engine will notstop automatically even if the vehicle is stopped. This is to ensure that good visibility
is maintained.Important operation tips for
the air conditioning E00708302128
lPark the vehicle in the shade.
Parking in the hot sun will make the ve-
hicle inside extremely hot, and it will re-
quire more time to cool the interior.
If it is necessary to park in the sun, open the windows for the first few minutes of
air conditioning operation to expel the
hot air.
l Close the windows when the air condi-
tioning is in use. The entry of outside air
through open windows will reduce the cooling efficiency.
l Too much cooling is not good for the
health. The inside air temperature should
only be 5 to 6 °C below the outside air temperature.
l When operating the system, make sure
the air intake, which is located in front
of the windscreen, is free of obstructions such as leaves and snow. Leaves collec- ted in the air-intake plenum may reduce
air flow and plug the plenum 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. We recommend you to have the system inspected.
The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant
HFC- 134a and the lubricant DH-PR.
Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will
cause severe damage which will result in the need to replace your vehicle’s entire air con-
ditioning system. The release of refrigerant into the atmosphere should be prevented.
It is recommended that the refrigerant be re- covered and recycled for further use.
During a long period of disuse
The air conditioning should be operated for at
least five minutes each week, even in cold weather. This is to prevent poor lubrication
of the compressor internal parts and to main-
tain the air conditioning in the best operating
condition.
Air purifier*
E00708401773
An air filter has been incorporated into thisair conditioner so that dirt and dust are
cleaned from the air.
Replace the air filter periodically as its ability
to clean the air will be reduced as it collects pollen and dirt. For the maintenance interval,
refer to the “SERVICE BOOKLET”.
NOTEl Operation in certain conditions such as driv-
ing on a dusty road and frequent use of the air conditioner can lead to reduction of serv-
ice life of the filter. When you feel that the air flow is lower than normal or when the
windscreen or windows start to fog up easi- ly, replace the air filter.
We recommend you to have it checked.

NOTElOpen the terminal cover before connecting
the jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal
of the battery.
(Refer to “Battery” on page 10-10.)WARNINGl Make sure that the connection is made
to the appointed position (shown in the il-
lustration). If the connection is made di-
rectly to the negative ( −) side of the bat-
tery, the inflammable gases generated
from the battery might catch fire and ex-
plode.
l When connecting the jumper cables, do
not connect the positive (+) cable to the
negative ( −) terminal. Otherwise sparks
might cause explosion of the battery.CAUTIONl Take care not to get the jumper cable caught
in the cooling fan or other rotating part in
the engine compartment.
6. Start the engine in the vehicle which has
the booster battery, let the engine idle a

Service precautionsE01000102595
Adequate care of your vehicle at regular in- tervals serves to preserve the value and ap-
pearance as long as possible.
Maintenance items as described in this own- er’s manual can be performed by the owner.We recommend you to have the periodic in-
spection and maintenance performed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point or another specialist.
In the event a malfunction or a problem is discovered, we recommend you to have it
checked and repaired. This section contains information on inspection maintenance pro- cedures that you can do yourself. Follow theinstructions and cautions for each of the vari-
ous procedures.WARNINGl When checking or servicing the inside of
the engine compartment, make sure theengine is switched off and has had achance to cool down.
l If it is necessary to do work in the engine
compartment with the engine running, be
especially careful that your clothing, hair, etc., does not become caught by the cool-ing fan, drive belts, or other moving parts.
l After performing the maintenance, make
sure that no tools or cloths are left behind in the engine compartment. If they are left
behind, a fire or damage to the vehicle
may occur.WARNINGl The cooling fan can turn on automatically
even if the engine is not running. Turn the
ignition switch to “LOCK” position or put
the operation mode in OFF to be safe while you work in the engine compart-ment.
l Do not smoke, cause sparks or allow open
flames around fuel or battery. The fumes are flammable.

The coolant level in this tank should be keptbetween the “L” (LOW) and “F” (FULL)
marks when measured while the engine is cold.
To add coolant
The cooling system is a closed system and normally the loss of coolant should be very
slight. A noticeable drop in the coolant level
could indicate leakage. If this occurs, we rec- ommend you to have the system checked as
soon as possible.
If the level should drop below the “L”
(LOW) level on the reserve tank, open the lid
and add coolant.
Also, if the reserve tank is completely empty, remove the radiator cap (B) and add coolant until the level reaches the filler neck.WARNINGl Do not open the radiator cap (B) while the
engine is hot. The coolant system is under
pressure and any hot coolant escaping
could cause severe burns.
Anti-freeze
The engine coolant contains an ethylene gly-
col anti-corrosion agent. Some parts of the engine are cast aluminium alloy, and periodic
changing of the engine coolant is necessary to prevent corrosion of these parts.

Use “ MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
SUPER LONG LIFE COOLANT PREMI- UM” or equivalent*.
*: similar high quality ethylene glycol based
non-silicate, non-amine, nonnitrate and non- borate coolant with long life hybrid organic
acid technology

MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE Coolant
has excellent protection against corrosion and
rust formation of all metals including alumi- nium and can avoid blockages in the radiator,
heater, cylinder head, engine block, etc.
Because of the necessity of this anti-corro-
sion agent, the coolant must not be replaced with plain water even in summer. The re-
quired concentration of anti-freeze differs de- pending on the expected ambient tempera-
ture.
Above -35 °C: 50 % concentration of anti-
freeze
Below -35 °C: 60 % concentration of anti- freezeCAUTIONl Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze
or any engine coolants mixed with alcoholor methanol anti-freeze. The use of an im-
proper anti-freeze can cause corrosion of the aluminium components.
l Do not use water to adjust the concentration
of coolant.
l Concentrations exceeding 60 % will result in
a reduction of both the anti-freeze and cool-
ing performance thus adversely affecting the
engine.
l Do not top up with water only.
