Accessory weight: the combined weight (in excess of those stan- dard items which may be replaced) of automatic transmis-sion, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seats, radio, and heater, to theextent that these items are avail- able as factory- installed equip- ment (whether installed or not).Vehicle capacity weight: the rated cargo and luggage load plus 150 lbs (68 kg)
* times the vehicle’s
designated seating capacity.Production options weight: thecombined weight of thoseinstalled regular production options weighing over 5 lbs (2.3 kg) in excess of those standarditems which they
replace, not pre-
viously considered in curb weight or accessory weight, includingheavy duty brakes, ride levelers,roof rack, heavy duty battery, and special trim.
Normal occupant weight: 150 lbs (68 kg)
* times the number of
specified occupants. (In your vehicle the number is 3)Occupant distribution: Occupant distribution within the passenger compartment (In your vehicle thedistribution is 2 in front, 1 in sec- ond row seat) * : 150 lbs (68 kg) is the weight of one person as defined by U.S.A. regulations.

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.

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.

The fusible links will melt to prevent a fire ifa large current attempts to flow through cer- tain electrical systems. In case of a melted
fusible link, see your

To prevent damage to the electrical systemfrom short-circuiting
or overloading, each
individual circuit
is equipped with a fuse. The
fuse blocks are located in the passenger com-partment and in the engine compartment. The fuse block in the
passenger compartment
is located in front of the driver’s seat at the position shown in the illustration. In the engine compartment, the fuse block is located as shown in
the illustration.
