The air conditioner shoul
d be operated for at
least five minutes each week, even in coldweather. 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.

The air conditioning system is equipped withan 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”.

Your vehicle’s radio receives both AM andFM stations.The quality of your reception is affected bydistance, obstacles, a
nd signal interference.
This radio complies with
Part 15 of Federal
Communications Comm
ission (FCC) Rules
(for vehicles sold in U.S.A.). Operation issubject to the following conditions:
The device may not cause harmful inter-ference.This device must ac
cept any interference
recieved, including interference that maycause undesirable operation.
CAUTIONThe air conditioning system in your vehiclemust be charged with the refrigerant HFO-1234yf and the lubricant SUN-PAG46A.Use of any other refrige
rant or lubricant will
cause severe da
mage and may re
quire replac-
ing your vehicle’s entire air conditioningsystem.The release of refrigerant into the atmo-sphere is not recommended.The new refrigerant HFO-1234yf in yourvehicle is designed not
to harm the earth’s
ozone layer. Additiona
lly, it has a signifi-
cantly reduced global
warming impact on the
environment, compared to the refrigerantHFC-134a.

NOTE
Operation in certain conditions such as driv-ing on a dusty road and frequent use of theair conditioner can lead
to reduction of ser-
vice life of the filter. When you feel that theair flow is lower than normal or when thewindshield 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.

FM signals do not follow the earth surfacenor 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 bythe upper atmosphere. For this reason, AMbroadcasts can be received over longer dis-tances.Because of the limited
range of FM signals
and the way FM waves transmit, you mayexperience 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 AMin 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 bybuildings, this can also
cause reception dis-
turbances.The direct signal from
the broadcast station
reaches the antenna slightly before thereflected signal. This time difference maycause some reception di
sturbance or flutter.
This problem occurs primarily in urban areas.
If one listens to a weak station and is in thevicinity 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 becomemore marked and the reception range issomewhat diminished during stereo recep-tion.

FM reception is affected by the electrical sys-tems of vehicles in the vicinity, especiallythose 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 electricaldisturbances as AM. AM
reception is sensi-
tive to electrical dist
urbances such as power
lines, lightning and ot
her types of similar
electrical phenomena.Causes of disturbances BK0249100US.book 16 ページ ２０１７年５月１０日　水曜日　午前８時４９分

Your vehicle is equi
pped with an emission-
control system that meets all the requirementsof the U.S. Environm
ental Protection Agency
and Environment Cana
da. The emission-con-
trol system is made of:a positive crankcase
ventilation 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 MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice. This should be done at the time ormileage specified in the “WARRANTY ANDMAINTENANCE MANUAL”.These, and all the other “general” mainte-nance services listed in this manual, need tobe performed to keep
your vehicle running
properly and reliably.You should also have an inspection and ser-vice any time you suspect a malfunction.
N00940900231
Spark plugs must fire properly to ensureproper engine perfo
rmance and emission-
control.Do not reuse spark plugs by cleaning orregapping. Spark plugs should be replaced atthe mileage specified in the “WARRANTYAND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
Check the hose surfaces for any heat andmechanical damage, hard and brittle rubber,cracking, tears, cuts and abrasions. Pay spe-cial attention to the hos
es closest to high heat
sources such as the exhaust manifold. Checkall the hose connections
, such as clamps and
couplings, to make sure
they are secure and
that there are no leaks. If you see any wear ordamage, replace the
hoses immediately.

Have the valve clea
rance checked at an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer at themileage specified in the “WARRANTY ANDMAINTENANCE MANUAL”.If the engine sounds abnormally loud, haveadjustments made by an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer.

Check these regularly for damage or leaks inthe fuel lines and connections. Check the fueltank filler cap for dama
ge or looseness. Pay
special attention to the fuel lines closest to
Emission-control system maintenance
NOTE
To meet government regulations and pro-mote cleaner air, your
vehicle is equipped
with an onboard dia
gnostic system (OBD).
The engine electronic control module thatcontrols OBD functions stores various data(especially a
bout the exhaust emissions).
This data will be erased if the battery cable isdisconnected, which c
ould make a rapid
diagnosis difficult.
Do not disconnect the
battery cable when the engine malfunctionindicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or“Check engine
light”) is ON.
Spark plugs
NOTE
Use the recommended or equivalent sparkplugs listed under “Engin
e specifications” on
page 11-6. Use of other plugs could causeengine damage, loss of performance or radionoise.
