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 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 obstruc-
tions such as leaves. Leaves collected in
the air-intake chamber may reduce air
flow 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 cold
weather. This includes the quick defrosting
mode. Operating the air conditioning system
weekly maintains lubrication of the compres-
sor internal parts to keep the air conditioning
in the best operating condition.

Important air conditioning
operation tips
CAUTION
The engine speed may increase when the air
conditioning is operating.
With increased engine speed, a CVT
equipped vehicle will creep to a greater
degree than with a lower engine speed. Fully
depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi-
cle from creeping.
Air conditioning system refrig-
erant and lubricant recommen-
dations
CAUTION
The air conditioning system in your vehicle
must be charged with the refrigerant HFO-
1234yf and the lubricant PAG46A.
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 HFO-1234yf in your
vehicle is designed not to harm the earth’s
ozone layer. However, it may contribute
slightly to global warming.
It is recommended that the old refrigerant be
saved and recycled for future use.
