Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will
cause severe damage which will result in the
need to replace your vehicle’s entire air con-
ditioning system. New regulations in support
of the Australian Government’s Ozone Pro-
tection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Man-
agement Act 1989 became effective in
January 2005. To ensure your vehicle servic-
ing and repairs conform with requirements,
the air conditioning system should be
inspected and maintained by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorised Service Point.
The air conditioner should be operated for at
least five minutes each week, even in cold
weather. This is to prevent poor lubrication of
the compressor internal parts and to maintain
the air conditioner in the best operating con-
dition.

An air filter has been incorporated into this
air conditioner so that dirt and dust are
cleaned from the air.
Replace the air filter periodically as its ability
to clean the air will be reduced as it collects
pollen and dirt. For the maintenance interval,
refer to the “SERVICE BOOKLET”.

When heating, the engine starts running
because the heating system uses the heat of
engine coolant.
On vehicles with electric heater, it can
decrease the number of times engine starting
because electrical power stored in the drive
battery is also used when heating.

The audio system can only be used when the
operation mode of the power switch is in ON
or ACC.

NOTE
 Operation in certain conditions such as driv-
ing on a dusty road and frequent use of the
air conditioner can lead to reduction of ser-
vice life of the filter. When you feel that the
airflow is lower than normal or when the
windscreen or windows start to fog up easily,
replace the air filter.
We recommend you to have it che cked.

NOTE
 To listen to the audio system while the Plug-
in Hybrid EV system is not operating, put the
operation mode of the power switch in ACC.
If the operation mode of the power switch is
left in ACC, the accessory power will auto-
matically turn off after a certain period of
time and you will no longer be able to use
the audio system. The accessory power
comes on again if the operation mode of the
power switch is operated with is in the ACC.
Refer to “ACC power auto-cutout function”
on page 7-11.
 If a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle,
it may create noise from the audio equip-
ment. This does not mean that anything is
wrong with your audio equipment. In such a
case, use the cellular phone at a place as far
away as possible from the audio equipment.
 If foreign objects or water get into the audio
equipment, or if smoke or a strange odour
comes from it, immediately turn off the
audio system. We recommend you to have it
checked. Never try to repair it by yourself.
Avoid continuous usage without inspection
by a qualified person.
