from the windshield.

Outside air {Indicator light (A) OFF}
Recirculated air {Indicator light (A) ON}
When the air conditioning turns on, the air selection is con-
trolled automatically.
The air selection indicator light (A) shows the selected posi-
tion.
NOTEWhen the air conditioning operates with the air selection
switch in the outside air position, the system automati-
cally determines whether to continue using outside air or
to perform recirculation.
If the outside temperature is high, the system selects recir-
culation to achieve rapid cooling and causes the air selec-
tion indicator in the switch to illuminate. Press the air
selection switch to return to outside air.
If the outside air is dusty or contaminated in some way, use the
recirculation position. Switch to the outside air position every
now and then to keep the windows from fogging up.NOTEWhile the mode selection dial is set to the “ ” position,
the air conditioning compressor will run automatically.
The outside air position will also be selected automati-
cally.
CAUTION
!Using recirculated air for a long time may cause the
windows to fog up.

sor, the air conditioning indicator light (A) blinks. Press
the air conditioning switch once to turn it off, then once
more to turn it back on. If the air conditioning indicator
light (A) does not blink, there is no problem. If it does
blink, have it checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair facility of your choice.

wash, the condenser can get wet, and the air conditioning
indicator light (A) blinks temporarily. Wait for a while,
press the air conditioning switch once to turn the system
off, then once more to turn it back on. Once the water

For quick defrosting
1. Set the mode selection dial to the “ ” position.
2. Set your blower to the maximum speed.
3. Set the temperature to the highest position.
NOTEWhile the mode selection dial is set to the “ ” position,
the air conditioning compressor will run automatically.
The outside air position will also be automatically
selected.
While the “ ” position is selected, you cannot turn the
air conditioning off or select the recirculation position.

toward the door windows.
When defrosting, do not set the temperature control dial
near the maximum cool position. This would blow cool
air on the window glass and fog it up.
