Mitsubishi MOTORS ASX Series, Owner'S Manual

Page: 265 / 514

NOTE
l
While the engine coolant temperature is low,
the temperature of the air from the heater
will be cool/cold until the engine warms up,
even if you have selected warm air with the
dial.
l On vehicles with the automatic air condi-
tioning, when the temperature is set to the
highest or the lowest setting under the AU-
TO operation, the air selection and the air
conditioning will be automatically changed
as follows.
• Quick Heating (When the temperature is
set to the highest setting)
Outside air will be introduced and the air
conditioning will stop.
• Quick Cooling (When the temperature is
set to the lowest setting)
Inside air will be recirculated and the air
conditioning will operate.
The settings described above are the factory
settings. The air selection and air condition-
ing switches can be customized (function set-
ting changed), and the automatic switching of
outside air and the air conditioning according
to operating conditions can be changed as de-
sired.
For further information, we recommend you
to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
Refer to “Customizing the air conditioning
switch (Automatic air conditioning)” on page

CAUTION
l
Normally, use the outside position to keep
the windscreen and side windows clear and
quickly remove fog or frost from the wind-
screen.
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.
l Use of the recirculation position for exten-
ded time may cause the windows to fog up.
NOTE
l On vehicles with the heater and the manual
air conditioning, when the system operates
with the selection switch in the outside posi-
tion, the system automatically determines
whether to continue using outside air or to
perform recirculation. If the outside air tem-
perature is high, the system selects recircula-
tion and causes the indication lamp (A) in
the switch to illuminate (for vehicles with
the manual air conditioning, the system se-
lects recirculation to achieve rapid cooling).
Press the selection switch to return to out-
side air introduction.
