heater MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV 2016 (in English) User Guide

NOTElThere is an interior air temperature sensor (A) in the illustrated position.
Never place anything on top of the sensor, since doing so will prevent it from functioning properly.
l Since the air conditioning operation is controlled while the ECO mode is operating, you may feel that effectiveness of the air conditioner is weak.
Also, on vehicles without electric heater, the heating performance cannot be obtained while the ECO mode is operating since engine starting is controlled. In such case, cancel ECO mode.
→ “ECO mode switch” on page 6-53
l Even if the ECO mode is operating, you can select normal operation of the air conditioner.
On vehicles equipped with MITSUBISHI Multi-Communication System (MMCS), screen operations can be used to change the setting. Refer to the separate
owner’s manual for details.
l In extreme cold, the air conditioning control panel screen may operate sluggishly. This does not indicate a problem.
It will disappear when the vehicle interior temperature rises to a normal temperature.

Handling of DiscsE00735901040
This explains care that should be taken in the handling of discs.
Important Points on Handling
l Fingerprints or other marks on the read
surface of the disc may result in its con-
tent being more difficult to read. When
holding the disc, grip both edges, or one edge and the centre hole, in order that
the read surface is not touched.
l Do not affix paper or stickers, or other-
wise damage the disc.
l Do not forcefully insert a disc if another
is already within the device. This can re- sult in damage to discs, or malfunction.
Cleaning
l Periodically clean the read surface of the
disc. When cleaning, do not wipe in a
circular motion. Instead, wipe gently outwards from the centre of the disc to the outer edge.
l New discs may have burring around the
outer edge or in the hole in the centre.
Ensure you check for these. If there are burrs, these may lead to faulty operation,
therefore ensure these are removed.
Important Points on Storage
l When not using discs, ensure these are
kept in cases, and stored out of direct
sunlight.
l If discs are not going to be used for a
long period of time, remove these from
the product.
Disc Playback Environment
In cold environments such as in mid-winter when the interior of the vehicle is cold, turn-ing the heater on and immediately trying to
use the product may cause condensation (wa-
ter droplets) to form on the disc and internal optical components, and this may prevent the product from operating correctly.
In these conditions, remove the disc, and wait
a short time before use.

To add coolant
The cooling system is a closed system andnormally the loss of coolant should be very
slight. A noticeable drop in the coolant level
could indicate leakage. If this occurs, we rec- ommend you to have the system checked as
soon as possible.
If the level should drop below the “LOW” level on the reserve tank, open the lid and
add coolant.
Also, if the reserve tank is completely empty, remove the radiator cap (C) or the reservetank cap (D) and add coolant until the level reaches the filler neck.
WARNINGl Do not open the radiator cap (C) and the
reserve tank cap (D) while the engine andthe plug-in hybrid EV system are hot. The
coolant system is under pressure and any hot coolant escaping could cause severe burns.Anti-freeze
The engine coolant and the plug-in hybrid
EV system coolant contains an ethylene gly-col anti-corrosion agent. Some parts of the
engine and the plug-in hybrid EV system are
cast aluminium alloy, and periodic changing of the engine coolant and the plug-in hybridEV system coolant are necessary to prevent
corrosion of these parts.

Use “ MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
SUPER LONG LIFE COOLANT PREMI-
UM” or equivalent *
.
MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE Coolant
has excellent protection against corrosion and rust formation of all metals including alumi-
nium and can avoid blockages in the radiator,
heater, cylinder head, engine block, etc.
Because of the necessity of this anti-corro- sion agent, the coolant must not be replaced
with plain water even in summer. The re-
quired concentration of anti-freeze differs de- pending on the expected ambient tempera-
ture.

Above -35 °C: 50 % concentration of anti- freeze
* similar high quality ethylene glycol based
non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrate andnon-borate coolant with long life hybrid
organic acid technologyBelow -35 °C: 60 % concentration of anti-
freezeCAUTIONl Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze
or any engine coolants mixed with alcohol or methanol anti-freeze. The use of an im-
proper anti-freeze can cause corrosion of the aluminium components.
l Do not use water to adjust the concentration
of coolant.
l Concentrations exceeding 60 % will result in
a reduction of both the anti-freeze and cool-
ing performance thus adversely affecting the engine.
l Do not top up with water only.
Water by itself reduces the rust-protective
and anti-freeze qualities of the coolant and has a lower boiling point. It can also causedamage to the cooling system if it should freeze. Do not use tapwater, as it can causecorrosion and rust formation.
During cold weather
If the temperatures in your area drop below
freezing, there is the danger that the coolant
in the engine, plug-in hybrid EV system or radiator could freeze and cause severe dam-age to the engine and/or radiator. Add a suffi-
cient amount of anti-freeze to the coolant to prevent it from freezing.
