Ventilation, heating and air conditioning system

The scheme of distribution of air flows in the passenger compartment

The car is equipped with a ventilation and interior heating system.

Air conditioning is available as an option. The conditioner can be with manual or automatic control.

The ventilation, heating and air conditioning system is a single functional complex designed to provide a comfortable microclimate in the car, regardless of weather conditions and outside temperature. The heater and electric heater provide an increase in temperature, the air conditioning unit provides a decrease in temperature and humidity in the cabin.

The heater or air conditioner can only be switched on when the engine is running.

Note: the light sensor is located in the dashboard (A) and interior air temperature sensor (IN), included in the ventilation and air conditioning system. It is forbidden to place any objects on them - this will lead to malfunctions of the system.

Rules for the operation of the air conditioner

Try to park your car in the shade. When parked in the sun, the interior of the vehicle becomes very hot and will take longer to cool down. If you still had to leave the car in the sun, after turning on the air conditioner, open the windows for a few minutes to let the hot air out of the passenger compartment.

Close the windows when the air conditioner is running. The intake of outside air through open windows reduces the cooling effect of the air conditioner.

Too much cooling is harmful to health. The air temperature in the cabin should be only 5-6"With lower air temperature outside.

When turning on the air conditioner, make sure that the air intake in front of the windshield is not blocked by anything (like leaves). Leaves that have accumulated at the inlet to the air intake can reduce the air supply and block the condensate drain holes.

Recommendations for the selection of refrigerant and lubricants for the air conditioner

A refrigerant leak may be the cause of the reduced air conditioner efficiency. It is recommended to have the system checked by an authorized MITSUBISHI MOTORS service center. The vehicle's air conditioning system must be charged with HFC-134 refrigerant and ZXL-1OOPG grease. Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant may cause serious damage, resulting in the need to replace the entire air conditioning system. It is not recommended to release the refrigerant into the atmosphere.

It is recommended to hand over the refrigerant for disposal and reuse.

If the air conditioner is not used for a long time

You must run the air conditioner for at least five minutes a week, even in cold weather. This is done to lubricate the compressor parts and keep the system running. If the air conditioner is not turned on for a long time, a foreign smell may appear when it is turned on. This is not a sign of a system malfunction.
