cle’s electrical system
and affect your vehicle
warranty. Many states and Canadi
an provinces require
special outside mirrors when towing a trailer.Even if not required,
you should install spe-
cial mirrors if you ca
nnot clearly see behind
you, or if the trailer
creates a blind spot.
Ask your trailer sales or
rental agency if any
other items are recomm
ended or required for
your towing situation.
Towing a trailer requires a certain amount of experience. Before setting out for the open road, you’ll want to get to know your trailer. Acquaintyourself with the feel of handling and braking with the added weight of the trailer. Always keep in mind that the vehicle you are drivingis now a good deal longer and not nearly as responsive as your vehicle is without a trailer. Before you start, check the trailer hitch, safety chains, tires and mirror adjustment.
Be sure your vehicle’s ti
res are inflated to the
cold inflation pressure listed in the manual. You’ll find these numbe
rs on the tire and
loading information placard at the sill of the driver’s door. Refer to “Tire inflati
on pressures” on page
9-18. Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle ahead as you would when driving your vehi-cle without a trailer.
This can help you avoid
situations that require
heavy braking and sud-
den turns. You’ll need more passing distance up ahead when you’re towing a trailer. And, becauseyou’re a good deal longer, you’ll need to go much farther beyond the passed vehicle before you can return to your lane.
Additional trailer equipment Operating hints
WA R N I N G If you have a rear
window open and you
tow a trailer with yo
ur vehicle, carbon
monoxide gas which
you cannot see or
smell could come into your vehicle. It can cause unconsciousness or death. Refer to“Exhaust system” on page 9-24. To maximize your safety when towing a trailer: Have your exhaust system inspected for leaks, and make necessary repairs beforestarting on your trip. Keep the rear
windows closed.
If exhaust does come into your vehicle through a window or
another opening,
drive with your front, main heating orcooling system on an
d with the blower on
any speed. This will
bring fresh, outside
air into your vehicle. Do not use recircula-tion because it only recirculates the air inside your vehicle. Refer to “Air selection switch” on page 7-9.

1. Park the vehicle in the shade whenever possible. Parking in the hot sun makes thevehicle interior extremely hot which then requires more time to
cool. If it is neces-
sary to park in the sun, open the windowsfor the first few minutes of air condition- ing to expel the hot air. 2. Afterwards, keep the windows closedwhen the air conditioner is in use. The entry of outside air through open windows will reduce cooling efficiency.3. When running the air conditioner, make sure the air intake, which is located in front of the windshield, is free of obstruc-tions such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air-intake chamber may reduce air flow and plug the water drains.
If the air conditioner 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 facilityof your choice.
The air conditioner shoul
d 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 conditionerin the best operating condition.
N00733801190
The air conditioning system is equipped with an air filter to re
move pollen
and dust.
The air filter’s ability to collect pollen anddirt is reduced as it be
comes dirty, so replace
it periodically. For the maintenance interval, refer to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTE-NANCE MANUAL”.
 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.
Important air conditioning operating tips
NOTE
Air conditioning system refrig- erant and lubricant recommen-dations
CAUTION The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant HFC-134a and the lubricant SUN-PAG56. 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 HFC-134a in your vehi- cle is designed not to harm the earth’s ozonelayer. However, it may contribute slightly to global warming. It is recommended that the old refrigerant besaved and recycled for future use.
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 conditioner 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.
