 Park the vehicle in the shade whenever
possible. Parking in the hot sun makes the
vehicle interior extremely hot which then
requires more time to cool. If it is neces-
sary to park in the sun, open the windows
for the first few minutes of air condition-
ing to expel the hot air.
Afterwards, keep the windows closed
when the air conditioner is in use. The
entry of outside air through open windows
will reduce cooling efficiency.
 When running the air conditioner, make
sure the air intake, which is located in
front of the windshield, is free of obstruc-
tions such as leaves. Leaves collected in
the air-intake chamber may reduce air
flow and plug the water drains.
 Too much cooling/heating can affect the
EV cruising range, so maintain an appro-
priate temperature to extend the EV cruis-
ing range.
If the air conditioner seems less effective than
usual, the cause might be a refrigerant leak.
Have the system inspected by a certified Mit-
subishi EV dealer.
 For quick defrosting
NOTE
 While the “ ” indicator light is on, the air
conditioning compressor will run automati-
cally. The outside air position will also be
selected automatically.
 If the “ ” indicator light is on, you cannot
turn the air conditioner off or select the recir-
culation position. This prevents the windows
from fogging up.
 To defog quickly, direct the air flow from the
side vents toward the door windows.
 When defrosting, do not set the temperature
to the maximum cool position. This will
blow cool air on the window glass and fog it
up.
Important air conditioning
operating tips Air conditioning system refrig-
erant and lubricant recommen-
dations
CAUTION
 The air conditioning system in your vehicle
must be charged with the refrigerant HFO-
1234yf and the lubricant POE MA68EV.
Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will
cause severe damage and may require replac-
ing your vehicle’s entire air conditioning
system.
The release of refrigerant into the atmo-
sphere is not recommended.
The new refrigerant HFO-1234yf in your
vehicle is designed not to harm the earth’s
ozone layer. Additionally, it has a signifi-
cantly reduced global warming impact on the
environment, compared to the refrigerant
HFC-134a.
It is recommended that the old refrigerant be
saved and recycled for future use.
