The turbocharger increases engine power by pushing large amounts of air into the engine’s cylinders. The finned parts inside the turbo-charger turn at extremely high speeds and are subjected to extremely high temperatures. They are lubricated by engine oil and cooledby engine oil and coolant. If the engine oil is not replaced at the specified intervals, the bearings may seize or emit abnormal noise.

The shift pattern below is shown on the gear-shift lever. Press the clutch pedal all the waydown while shifting gears.
 For vehicles equipped with Twin Clutch SST, if the temperature inside the engine compartment is high, the cooling fans (A) will continue to operate for some time even if the engine is stopped.Therefore, the operation sound of the cooling fans may be heard even after the engine is stopped. This sound is normal and does notindicate a malfunction. After operating for a period of time, the cool- ing fans will stop automatically.* : Front of the vehicleNOTE

CAUTION Do not run the engine at high speeds (for example, by revving it or by acceleratingrapidly) immediately after starting it. Do not stop the engine immediately after high-speed or uphill driv
ing. First allow the
engine to idle to give the turbocharger a chance to cool down. Engine oil must be properly maintained to avoid engine and/or turbocharger damage.To better protect your engine and turbo- charger, use fully synthetic engine oil.

Normally, use the outside air position to keep the windshield and side windows clear and toquickly remove fog or frost from the wind- shield. To change the air selection, simply press the air selection switch. A sound will be made every time you push the switch.  Outside air {Indicator light (A) OFF}  Recirculated air {Indicator light (A) ON}
When the air conditioning turns on, the air selection is controlled automatically. When the air conditioning turns off, the airselection automatically goes back to the out- side air position. The air selection indicator light (A) shows theselected position.
NOTE
 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.  For instructions on how to use the “MAX A/C” position (A), refer to “For quick cool- ing” on page 7-8.

1. Set the mode selection dial to the “ ” position.2. Set the air selection switch (A) to the out- side air position. 3. Select your desired blower speed by turn-ing the blower speed selection dial. 4. Select your desired temperature by turn- ing the temperature control dial.
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.

1. Park the vehicle in the shade wheneverpossible. Parking in the hot sun makes thevehicle interior extremely hot which thenrequires 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. Theentry 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 inthe air-intake chamber may reduce air flow and plug the water drains.
If the air conditioning seems less effective than usual, the cause might be a refrigerantleak. Have the system inspected by your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facilityof your choice.
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 selectthe recirculation 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 control dial to the maximum cool position. This will blow cool air on the window glass and fog it up.
