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”.
N00734201553
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.

It is normal for an engi
ne to use oil. You may
need to add oil betwee
n the recommended oil
change intervals. Before starting the engine,check the engine oil level. Refill if necessary. To check the oil level, remove the dipstick, wipe it off, and gently
reinsert it all the way.
Slowly pull the dipsti
ck straight out and
check the oil level by checking the upper sur- face of the dipstick. Th
e oil level must not go
above the line on the dipstick. If the level does not reach the line which shows the minimum amo
unt of oil required,
remove the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover, and fill to within the “Good” range.
To close
CAUTION Be careful not to trap your hands or fingers when closing the engine hood. Make sure the engine hood is firmly closed before driving.If you drive without the engine hood com- pletely closed, it c
ould open up while driv-
ing.
NOTE
 If this does not clos
e the engine hood prop-
erly, drop it again from a slightly higherposition.  Do not push down strongly on the engine hood. Depending on how strongly or whereyou push down, you could create a dent in the vehicle body.

Check the washer fluid
level at regular inter-
vals and add washer fluid to reservoir if nec-essary. Open the reservoir cap and check the level of washer fluid.Full level is approximately 2 inches (5 cm) below from the upper surface of the reservoir. When freezing weather is anticipated, flush out the water in the reservoir by operating the pump. Fill the reservoir with windshield anti-freeze (not radiator an
tifreeze), and operate
the system for a few seconds to flush out the residual water.

The fluid level must be between the “MAX”and “MIN” marks on the reservoir. The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but this
does not indicate any
abnormality. The fluid in the master cylinder should be checked when doing other work under theengine hood. The brake system should also be checked for leaks at the same time. If the fluid level falls
noticeably in a short
length of time, it indi
cates leaks from the
brake system.
If this occurs, have the vehicle checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your choice. Use the brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4. The reservoir cap must be tightly sealed to keep dirt and water out.

Wipe up spills immediately. If brake fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush immediately with cleanwater. Follow up with a doctor as neces- sary.CAUTION Do not let any petrol
eum-based fluid touch,
mix with, or get into
the brake fluid. This
will damage the seals. Be careful when handli
ng brake fluid. It can
damage painted surfaces. Use only the listed brake fluid. Different brands of brake fluid
have different addi-
tives, and these can cause a chemical reac- tion. Do not mix brands of brake fluid.

Check the wiper blades
occasionally. Clean
them regularly to remove
deposits of salt and
road film. Use a sponge or cloth and a mild detergent or non-abrasive cleaner to clean theblades and glass areas. Replace the blades if th

or smear. If the blades are frozen to the windshield, do not operate the wipers
until the ice has melted
and the blades are freed, otherwise the wiper motor may be damaged.

Your vehicle is equi
pped with an emission-
control system that meets all the requirements of the U.S. Enviro
nmental Protection
Agency. The emission-control system is made of:  a positive crankcase
ventilati
on system
 an evaporative emis
sion-control system
 an exhaust emission-control system
To be sure the emissi
on-control system works
properly, have your vehicle inspected andmaintained by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. This should be done at the time ormileage specified in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”. These, and all the other “general” mainte-nance services listed in this manual, need to be performed to keep
your vehicle running
properly and reliably.You should also have an inspection and ser- vice any time you suspect a malfunction.

The ventilation slots in
front of the wind-
shield should be brushed clear after a heavysnowfall so that the operation of the heating and ventilation
systems will not be impaired.
To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping on the doors, engine hood, etc., they should be treated with silicone grease. It is a good idea to carry a shovel or a short- handled spade in the vehicle during the win- ter so that you can clear away snow if you getstranded. A small hand-brush for sweeping
snow off the vehicle a
nd a plastic scraper for
the windshield, side a
nd rear window are also
useful.

CAUTION Do not use a scrubbing brush or other rough scrubber as these may
damage the plastic
surface.
 Do not use wax containing compounds (pol- ishing powder) which ma
y damage the plas-
tic surface. Do not let plastic parts get soiled with gaso- line, oil, brake fluids
, engine oils, greases,
paint thinner, and sulfur
ic acid (battery elec-
trolyte), as such substa
nces will cause stains,
cracks, or discoloration.If any of these get on a plastic part, wipe them up with a soft cloth or chamois and a mild solution of soap and water. Then rinsethem immediately with water.
