Important air conditioning operating tips
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 necessary to park in the sun, open the windows for the first few min- utes of air conditioning to expel the hot air.
2. Afterwards, keep the windows closed when the air condi- tioning is in use. The entry of outside air through open windows will reduce cooling efficiency.
3. When running the air conditioning, make sure the air intake, which is located in front of the windshield, is free of obstructions such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air- intake chamber may reduce air flow and plug the water drains.
Air conditioning system refrigerant and lubri- cant recommendations
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.

5 During a long period of disuse
The air conditioning should be operated for at least five min- utes each week, even in cold weather. This includes the quick defrosting mode. Operating the air condition system weekly maintains lubrication of the compressor internal parts and maintains the air conditioning in the best operating condition.
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 replacing your vehi- cle’s entire air conditioning system. The release of refrigerant into the atmosphere is not recommended. The new refrigerant HFC-134a in your vehicle is designed not to harm the earth’s ozone layer. How- ever, it may contribute slightly to global warming. It is recommended that the old refrigerant be saved and recycled for future use.
