Attention! While the air conditioner is running, the idle speed increases slightly as the air conditioner compressor turns on and off automatically. Therefore, be careful when starting the car from a place.
Note. The car has a light sensor and an air temperature sensor inside the car
 |  |
A is the light sensor.
B - air temperature sensor inside the car.
Do not place any objects on the surface of the sensors. This may prevent them from working properly.
Under normal conditions, it is recommended to use the air conditioning system in automatic mode. To switch it to this mode, do the following:
- 1 - set the fan speed selection switch to the position «AUTO» («Auto»);
- 2 - turn the air temperature adjustment knob to the position corresponding to the desired temperature. The temperature can be set between 15 and 29°C. turn the knob to the right to increase the temperature.
Note. Under normal conditions, it is recommended to set the temperature around 22°C.
When the air conditioner is operating in automatic mode, when the maximum or minimum temperature is selected, the switching between the air intake and recirculation modes will occur automatically as follows:
- rapid heating (when maximum temperature mode is selected). Outside air will be supplied and air conditioning will stop;
- rapid cooling (when minimum temperature mode is selected). Air recirculation inside the passenger compartment will begin and the air conditioning system will turn on.
If you switch the air conditioner operation mode manually after it has been switched to automatic control, the system will start to work in manual control mode.
Set the ventilation mode selection switch to the position «AUTO» («Auto»).
Press the air conditioner switch to make it work. When the air conditioner is running, its indicator lamp should be on (indicator).
The air conditioning system automatically controls the air supply through the deflectors (except for ventilation modes, fan speed and air conditioner on/off).
Selecting Some Conditioning Parameters Manually
If you set the fan speed selector or the ventilation mode selector to any position at your discretion, the system will still automatically adjust all parameters except those set by the corresponding switches. To return to automatic control of all parameters, turn the ventilation mode selection switch to the position «AUTO» («Auto»).
Choice (change) ventilation mode
Set the ventilation mode as you like. Turn the switch knob and the mode will change.
- A. From the deflectors for blowing the windshield and side windows.
- B. From the central deflectors.
- C. From the side deflectors.
- D. From under the dashboard.
- E. From under the front seat.
- * means weak airflow.
Main airflow directions (ventilation modes)
(To the head area). The air flow enters the upper part of the vehicle interior.
(In the area of the legs / head). Air enters the upper part of the vehicle interior and the leg area.
(To the leg area). Air enters only in the leg area.
(To the foot area / to the heated windshield and side window vents). Air enters the leg area, as well as the windshield and door windows.
(To the windshield and side window heating vents). Air flows only to the windshield and glass doors of the car.
Note. Air is always supplied from the side vents, regardless of the position of the ventilation mode selection knob.
Air intake mode selection
Each time this switch is pressed, the ventilation modes change between fresh air intake and recirculation mode. In recirculation mode, indicator lamp A lights up.
Outdoor air intake mode
Outside air enters the vehicle interior.
Air recirculation mode
The air is recirculated in the passenger compartment.
Note. The outside air intake mode should be selected to quickly remove moisture or ice from the windshield and side windows and keep them clean.
Select the recirculation mode when intensive cooling of the passenger compartment air is required, as well as if the outside air is very dusty or polluted.
At the same time, you should periodically turn on the outside air intake mode, which will prevent the windows from fogging up.
If, after manual adjustment, the fan speed selection knob or the ventilation mode selection knob is again set to «AUTO» («Auto»), the air intake switch will also be adjusted automatically.
Attention! Using the air recirculation mode for a long time may cause the windows to fog up.
Fan mode selection
By turning the regulator knob clockwise and in the opposite direction, you can set the desired air flow rate. The air flow rate will gradually increase when the knob is turned to the right.
To remove frost or condensation (fogging) from the windshield or door windows, set the regulator knob to position
or 
.
in this position, fogging is removed from the windshield and door windows, as well as heating the leg area (recommended when driving in rain or snow).
Set the air intake mode selection switch A to the outside air intake position.
Set the ventilation mode selection knob to
.
Adjust fan speed.
Adjust the temperature.
Press the air conditioner switch B.
For quick removal of glass fogging.
Set the ventilation mode selection knob to
.
Set the fan speed control to maximum.
Set the air temperature control knob to maximum.
Note. When the ventilation mode selection knob is set to the position, the air conditioning is in automatic mode and the air intake mode is also switched on automatically. This is done to improve the performance of the air conditioner.
To effectively defog the windows, direct the air flow from the side vents to the door windows.
Do not set the air temperature control knob to a position close to the maximum cooling position. Cooled air will be supplied to the door glass and condense on them (sweating will occur).
Cooling
Set the ventilation mode selection knob to
. Switch A to set the outside air intake mode and press the air conditioner switch B.
Adjust the temperature by turning the air temperature adjustment knob clockwise or counterclockwise. Select the desired fan speed.
Note. If the outside air is dusty, too dirty, or the interior air needs to be quickly cooled, set the air intake mode selection switch to the recirculation position and turn the temperature control knob all the way to the left. Periodically switch to the outside air intake mode so that moisture does not condense on the windows.
Note. If a malfunction occurs in the air conditioning system, the air conditioning indicator lamp will flash. Press the air conditioner switch once to turn it off, then press it again to turn it on. If the control lamp stops flashing, then there is no malfunction. If the lamp continues to flash, consult your MITSUBISHI dealer.
Sometimes (for example, if the car was washed under strong water pressure) the air conditioner becomes humid and the indicator lamp A flashes accordingly. This does not indicate a malfunction. Wait a moment and then press the air conditioner switch twice (first to turn off and then turn on). After the water has evaporated, the lamp will stop flashing.
Attention! When the air conditioner is running, the engine idling speed increases slightly due to its automatic switching on and off. If you have stopped the car, then to prevent it from moving, fully depress the brake pedal; this precaution is especially important for vehicles with automatic transmission.
Turning off the air conditioner
To turn off the air conditioner, move the fan speed control to the position «OFF» («Off»). After that, it remains only the possibility of changing the air intake mode.
