NOTE
While the mode selection is set “ ” position, the air con-
ditioning compressor will run automatically. The outside
air position will also be selected automatically.

If the mode selection is set “ ” position, you cannot turn
the air conditioning off or select the recirculation position.
This prevents the windows from fogging up.

toward the door windows.

When defrosting, do not set the temperature to the maxi-
mum cool position. This will blow cool air on the window
glass and fog it up.
Important air conditioning operating tips
N00733700336
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 necessary to
park in the sun, open the windows for the first few min-
utes of air conditioning to expel the hot air.
2. Afterwards, keep the windows closed when the air condi-
tioning 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 obstructions such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air-
intake chamber may reduce air flow and plug the water
drains.Air conditioning system refrigerant and lubri-
cant recommendationsIf 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 of your choice.
