Cooling or heating can only be performed when ready indicator is illuminating. When the operation mode is ON, only the blower is available.  
NOTE  
If the drive battery level display indicates 0, the cooling performance cannot be obtained even the air conditioner is turned on.  
Refer to “Drive battery level display screen” on page 6-10.

Automatic climate control air conditioner  
NOTE  
There is an interior air temperature sensor (A) in the illustrated position.  
Never place anything on top of the sensor, since doing so will prevent it from functioning properly.  
l
While the EV priority mode is activated, except when pressing the demister switch, the engine does not start.

l
Therefore, if your vehicle is not equipped with the electric heater, the heating performance cannot be obtained while the EV priority mode is activated.  
Also, if your vehicle is equipped with the electric heater, the heating performance may not be sufficiently obtained while the EV priority mode is activated.  
In such case, cancel the EV priority mode. Refer to “EV switch” on page 7-25.  
Since the air conditioning operation is controlled while the ECO mode is operating, you may feel that effectiveness of the air conditioner is weak.  
Also, on vehicles without electric heater, the heating performance cannot be obtained while the ECO mode is operating since engine starting is controlled. In  
such case, cancel ECO mode. Refer to “ECO mode switch” on page 6-67.  
l
Even if the ECO mode is operating, you can select normal operation of the air conditioner.  
On vehicles equipped with the Smartphone-link Display Audio (SDA) or the Smartphone-link Display Audio (SDA) navigation system, screen operations  
can be used to change the setting. Refer to the separate owner’s manual for details.  
l
In extreme cold, the air conditioning control panel screen may operate sluggishly. This does not indicate a problem.  
It will disappear when the vehicle interior temperature rises to a normal temperature.

Refer to “Customizing the air conditioning  
switch” on page 8-11.  
NOTE  
CAUTION  
Use of the recirculation position for exten-  
ded time may cause the windows to fog up.  
When the “SYNC” indicator (A) appears by  
pressing the SYNC switch, the passenger’s  
side temperature will be controlled to the  
same setting temperature as the driver’s side.  
While the “SYNC” indicator (A) is dis-  
played, if the driver’s side temperature con-  
trol dial is turned, the passenger’s side set-  
ting temperature will be synchronized to the  
driver’s side.

Refer to “Customizing the air selection” on  
page 8-10.  
NOTE  
Normally, use the outside position to keep  
the windscreen and side windows clear and  
quickly remove fog or frost from the wind-  
screen.  
To control the driver’s side and the pas-  
senger’s side temperature independently  
If high cooling performance is desired, or if  
the outside air is dusty or otherwise contami-  
nated use the recirculation position. Switch  
to the outside position periodically to in-  
crease ventilation so that the windows do not  
become fogged up.  
When the engine coolant temperature rises  
to a certain level, the air selection is auto-  
matically switched to the recirculation posi-  
tion and the indication lamp (A) comes on.  
At this time, the system will not switch to  
the outside position even if the air selection  
switch is pushed.  
When the outside air temperature is high, the  
system will not switch to the outside posi-  
tion even when the air selection switch is  
pressed or the air conditioner is operating.  
This is to protect the air conditioner com-  
pressor and is not a failure.  
When the “SYNC” indicator (A) goes off by  
turning the passenger’s side temperature con-  
trol dial (B) or pressing the SYNC switch, the  
driver’s side and the passenger’s side temper-  
ature can be controlled independently.

Important operation tips for  
the air conditioner  
Park the vehicle in the shade.  
l
Parking in the hot sun will make the ve-  
hicle inside extremely hot, and it will re-  
quire more time to cool the interior.  
If it is necessary to park in the sun, open  
the windows for the first few minutes of  
air conditioning operation to expel the  
hot air.  
Close the windows when the air condi-  
tioner is in use. The entry of outside air  
through open windows will reduce the  
cooling efficiency.  
Too much cooling is not good for the  
health. Keep the difference between the  
vehicle interior temperature and outside  
temperature at 5 to 6 °C.  
When operating the system, make sure  
the air intake, which is located in front  
of the windscreen, is free of obstructions  
such as leaves and snow. Leaves collec-  
ted in the air-intake plenum may reduce  
air flow and plug the plenum water  
drains.

5. Push the air conditioning switch.  
NOTE  
To demist effectively, direct the air flow  
from the side ventilators towards the door  
windows.  
l
Do not set the temperature to the max. cool  
position. Cool air will blow against the win-  
dow glasses and prevent demisting.  
l
Too much cooling/heating can affect the  
EV cruising range, so maintain an appro-  
priate temperature to extend the EV  
cruising range.

Heating  
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 be-  
cause the heating system uses the heat of en-  
gine coolant.  
On vehicles with electric heater, it can de-  
crease the number of times engine starting  
because electrical power stored in the drive  
battery is also used when heating.  
If the air conditioner seems less effective  
than usual, the cause might be a refrigerant  
leak.  
We recommend you to have the system in-  
spected.  
[Except for vehicles for Ukraine]  
The air conditioning system in your vehicle  
must be charged with the refrigerant  
HFO-1234yf and the lubricant POE  
MA68EV.

heating, select the EV priority mode before  
operating the air conditioner. Refer to “EV  
switch” on page 7-25.  
[Vehicles for Ukraine]  
The air conditioning system in your vehicle  
must be charged with the refrigerant  
HFC-134a and the lubricant POE MA68EV.  
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. The release of refrigerant  
into the atmosphere is not recommended.  
We recommend you to recover and recycle  
the refrigerant for reuse.  
LW/MW/FM radio/CD  
player*  
We recommend you to have it checked.  
The audio system can only be used when the  
operation mode of the power switch is in ON  
or ACC.  
Remote Climate Control*  
You can run the air conditioner in advance of  
using the vehicle.  
For details, refer to “MITSUBISHI Remote  
control: Remote Climate Control” on page  
3-20.  
During a long period of disuse  
The air conditioner should be operated for at  
least five minutes each week, even in cold  
weather. This is to prevent the compressor  
from seizing and to maintain the air condi-  
tioner in the best operating condition.
