Side ventsMove the knob to make adjustments.
To close the vent, move the knob to the outside as far as possi-
ble.NOTE

On rare occasions, air from the vents of an air-conditioned
vehicle may be foggy. This is only moist air cooling sud-
denly and does not indicate a problem.


Do not let drinks or other liquids get into the vents as they
could prevent the air conditioning from operating nor-
mally.
Changing the mode selection

NOTE

While the engine coolant temperature is low, the tempera-
ture 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.


When the temperature is set to the highest or the lowest
setting under the AUTO operation, the air selection and
the air conditioning will be automatically changed as fol-
lows.
Also, if the air selection is operated manually after an
automatic changeover, manual operation will be selected.
 Quick Heating (When the temperature is set to the high-
est setting)
Outside air will be introduced and the air conditioning
will stop.
 Quick Cooling (When the temperature is set to the low-
est setting)
Inside air will be recirculated and the air conditioning
will operate.
The above indicates the factory settings. You can personalize
the air selection switch and air conditioning switch to match
your personal preferences.
Contact your Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice for assistance.
Refer to “Personalizing the air conditioning switch (Changing
the function setting)” on page 5-18.
Refer to “Personalizing the air selection (Changing the func-
tion setting)” on page 5-16.

Air selection switch
N00737200238
Normally, use the outside air position to keep the windshield
and side windows clear and to quickly remove fog or frost
from the windshield.
To change the air selection, simply press the air selection
switch. A sound will be made every time you press the switch.

Outside air {Indicator light (A) OFF}
Outside air is introduced into the passenger compartment.


Recirculated air {Indicator light (A) ON}
Air is recirculated inside the passenger compartment.When the air conditioning turns on, the air selection is con-
trolled automatically. When the air conditioning turns off, the
air selection automatically goes back to the outside air position.
If high cooling performance is desired, or if the outside air is
dusty or contaminated in some way, use the recirculation posi-
tion. Switch to the outside air position every now and then to
keep the windows from fogging up.
NOTE

If the mode selection dial is set between “ ” and “ ”,
you cannot turn the air conditioning off or select the recir-
culation position.
This prevents the windows from fogging up.


When the mode selection dial or the blower speed selec-
tion dial is set to the “AUTO” position again after manual
operation, the air selection switch will also be automati-
cally controlled.
CAUTION
!

Using recirculated air for a long time may cause the
windows to fog up.

Air conditioning switch
N00737300200
Push the switch, and the air conditioning compressor will turn
on. The air conditioning indicator light (A) will come on.
A sound will be made every time you push the switch.
Push the switch again and the air conditioning compressor will
stop and the indicator light (A) goes off.
NOTE

If a problem is detected in the air conditioning compres-
sor, the air conditioning indicator light (A) blinks. Press
the air conditioning switch once to turn it off, then once
more to turn it back on. If the air conditioning indicator
light does not blink there is no problem. If it does blink,
have it checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility of your choice.


Sometimes, for example after using a high-pressure car
wash, the condenser can get wet, and the air conditioning
indicator light (A) blinks temporarily. Wait for a while,
press the air conditioning switch once to turn the system
off, then once more to turn it back on. Once the water
evaporates, the blinking will stop.
CAUTION
!

Using the air conditioning slightly increases the
engine idle speed. Therefore, make sure your foot is
firmly on the brake pedal when shifting the tran-
saxle into drive.
