1. Park the vehicle in the shade wheneverpossible. Parking in the hot sun makes thevehicle interior extremely hot which thenrequires 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. Theentry of outside air through open windowswill reduce cooling efficiency.
3. When running the air conditioner, makesure the air intake, which is located infront of the windshield,
is free of obstruc-
tions such as leaves. Leaves collected inthe air-intake chamber may reduce airflow and plug the water drains.
If the air conditioner seems less effective thanusual, the cause might be a refrigerant leak.Have the system inspected by your authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facilityof your choice.

For quick defrosting NOTE
While the “ ” indicator light is on, the airconditioning compressor
will run automati-
cally. The outside air
position will also be
selected and the blower
speed will be set at
the maximum automatically.
If the “ ” indicator light is on, you cannotturn the air conditioner
off or select the recir-
culation position. This prevents the windowsfrom fogging up.To defog quickly, direct the air flow from theside vents toward the door windows.When defrosting, do not set the temperatureto the maximum cool position. This willblow cool air on the
window glass and fog it
up.

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

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.
