To change the position and amount of airflowing from the vents, turn the mode selec-tion dial. Refer to “Mode selection dial” on page7-5, 7-10, 7-16, 7-21. These symbols are used in the next severalillustrations to demonstrate the quantity of air coming from the vents. : Small amount of air from the vents : Medium amount of air from the vents : Large amount of air from the vents Air flows only to the up

 On rare occasions, air from the vents of an air-conditioned vehicle may be foggy. This is only moist air cooling suddenly and does not indicate a problem.  Do not let drinks or ot
her liquids get into the
vents as they could prevent the air condition-ing from operating normally.

Normally, use the outside air position to keepthe windshield and side windows clear and toquickly remove fog or frost from the wind- shield. To change the air selection, simply press the air selection switch. A sound will be madeevery time you push the switch.  Outside air {Indicator light (A) OFF}  Recirculated air {Indicator light (A) ON}
When the air conditioning turns on, the air selection is controlled automatically. When the air conditioning turns off, the airselection automatically goes back to the out- side air position. The air selection indicator light (A) shows theselected position.
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 th
e windows from fogging
up.

Air selection switch

NOTE
 When the air conditioning operates with the air selection switch in
the outside air posi-
tion, the system automatically determineswhether to continue using outside air or to perform recirculation. If the outside temperature is high, the systemselects recirculation to achieve rapid cooling and causes the air selection indicator in the switch to illuminate. When the air condition-ing turns off or the blower speed selection dial is set to the “OFF” position, the air selection automatically goes back to the out-side air position.
CAUTION Using recirculated air for a long time may cause the windows to fog up.NOTE
 While the mode selection dial is set between “ ” and “ ” position, the air condition- ing compressor will run automatically. The outside air position will also be selected automatically. (In this case, the air condition-ing indicator will not change.)  When the temperature control dial is set to the “MAX A/C” position, the air selection will be automatically set to the recirculation position.  When the temperature control dial is in the “MAX A/C” position, if it is set to a positionother than “MAX A/C”, the setting for the air selection switch is selected as described below. The selection of recirculated air oroutside air depends on the setting before “MAX A/C” was used. • If automatic control was set: Automatic control is continued • If recirculated air was selected: Recirculated air is selected

Important air conditioning operating tips

N00733700280
1. Park the vehicle in the shade whenever possible. Parking in the hot sun makes the vehicle interior extremely hot which then requires more time to cool. If it is neces-sary to park in the sun, open the windows for the first few minutes of air condition- ing to expel the hot air.2. Afterwards, keep the windows closed when the air conditioning is in use. The entry of outside air through open windowswill reduce cooling efficiency. 3. When running the air conditioning, make sure the air intake, which is located infront of the windshield, is free of obstruc- tions such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air-intake chamber may reduce airflow and plug the water drains.
If the air conditioning 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 facility of your choice.
The air conditioning should be operated for at least five minutes each week, even in coldweather. This includes the quick defrosting mode. Operating the air condition system weekly maintains lubrication of the compres-sor internal parts to keep the air conditioning in the best operating condition.
N00733800151
The air conditioning system is equipped with an air filter to remove pollen and dust. The air filter’s ability to collect pollen and dirt is reduced as it becomes dirty, so replaceit periodically. For the maintenance interval, refer to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTE- NANCE MANUAL”.
 When defrosting, do not set the temperature control dial 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 and may require replac-ing your vehicle’s entire 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 be saved 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 conditioning can lead to reduction of ser- vice life of the filter.
When you feel that the
air flow is lower than normal or when thewindshield or windows start to fog up easily, replace the air filter. Contact your Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your choice for assistance.
