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 windowswill reduce cooling efficiency.
3. When running the air conditioning, make sure the air intake, which is located infront of the windshield, is free of obstruc- tions such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air-intake chamber may reduce airflow and plug the water drains.
If the air conditioning seems less effective than usual, the cause might be a refrigerant leak. Have the system inspected by your authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility
of your choice.
NOTE
While the mode selection is set “ ” posi- tion, the air conditioning
compressor will run
automatically. The out
side air position will
also be selected automatically.
If the mode selection is set “ ” position, you cannot turn the air conditioning off orselect the recirculati
on position. This pre-
vents 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 to the maximum cool position. This will blow cool air on the window glass and fog it up.

The air conditioning should be operated for at least five minutes each week, even in cold weather. This includes the quick defrostingmode. Operating the
air condition system
weekly maintains lubrication of the compres- sor internal parts to keep the air conditioningin the best operating condition.

The air conditioning syst
em is equipped with
an air filter to remove pollen and dust.
The air filter’s ability to collect pollen and dirt is reduced as it be
comes dirty, so replace
it periodically. For the maintenance interval, refer to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTE- NANCE MANUAL”.

Turn the pole (A) counterclockwise. Screw the pole (A) clockwise into the base (B) until it is securely retained.
CAUTION The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant HFO-1234yf and the lubricant YR20.Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will cause severe damage a
nd may require replac-
ing your vehicle’s en
tire air conditioning
system. The release of refrigerant into the atmo- sphere is not recommended.The new refrigerant HFO-1234yf in your vehicle is designed not
to harm the earth’s
ozone layer. Additionall
y, it has a signifi-
cantly reduced global
warming impact on the
environment, compared to the refrigerant HFC-134a.
During a long period of disuse Air purifier
NOTE
Operation in certain conditions such as driv- ing on a dusty road and frequent use of the air conditioning ca
n lead to reduction of ser-
vice life of the filter. When you feel that theair flow is lower than normal or when the windshield or windows st
art to fog up easily,
replace the air filter.Contact your Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your
choice for assistance.

Your vehicle’s radio receives both AM and FM stations. The quality of your reception is affected bydistance, obstacles, an
d signal interference.
This radio complies with Part 15 of Federal Communications Comm
ission (FCC) Rules.
Operation is subject
to the following condi-
tions: The device may not cause harmful inter- ference. This device must ac
cept any interference
recieved, including interference that may cause undesirable operation.
FM signals do not follow the earth surface nor are they reflected by the upper atmo- sphere. For this reason,
FM broadcasts cannot
be received over long distances. AM signalsfollow the earth’s surface and are reflected by the upper atmosphere. For this reason, AM broadcasts can be received over longer dis-tances. Because of the limited
range of FM signals
and the way FM waves transmit, you may experience weak or fading FM reception.When the broadcast is blocked by mountains or similar obstructions,
reception can be dis-
turbed.
The reason why one can hear FM but not AM in parking garages, unde
r bridges etc., is that
FM signals, unlike AM
signals, are reflected
by solid objects such
as buildings, etc.
Because FM signals are easily reflected by buildings, this can also
cause reception dis-
turbances.The direct signal from
the broadcast station
reaches the antenna slightly before the reflected signal. This
time difference may
cause some reception di
sturbance or flutter.
This problem occurs primarily in urban areas.
• When driving into a structure that has a low ceiling

If one listens to a weak station and is in the vicinity of another st
rong station, both sta-
tions might be received simultaneously. Stereo reception re
quires a high quality
broadcast signal. This means that types ofdisturbances mentioned previously become more marked and the reception range is somewhat diminished during stereo recep-tion.
FM reception is affected by the electrical sys- tems of vehicles in the vicinity, especially those without an electr
onic noise suppression
device. The disturbance is even greater if thestation is weak or poorly tuned. FM reception is not as sensitive to electrical disturbances as AM. AM
reception is sensi-
tive to electrical dist
urbances such as power
lines, lightning and ot
her types of similar
electrical phenomena.
