Manual air conditioner (Mitsubishi Outlander 1)

The air conditioner can operate when the engine is running. The efficiency of the heater is directly related to the engine coolant temperature, so turn on the heater after the engine has warmed up to operating temperature. Air flow is changed by adjusting the fan speed.

Air conditioner switch

Press switch 1 and the air conditioning system (cooling, dehumidifying function) will turn on. The air conditioning indicator light will also light up.

Press the air conditioner switch 1 again and the air conditioning system will turn off.

Note: If a malfunction occurs in the air conditioning system, the air conditioning indicator lamp will flash. Press the air conditioning switch once to turn it off, then press it again to turn it on. If the indicator lamp goes out, there is no malfunction. If the lamp continues to flash, consult your MITSUBISHI dealer.

Sometimes (for example, if the car was washed under a strong water pressure) the air conditioner becomes wet, and the air conditioner indicator light will blink accordingly. This does not mean a malfunction. Wait a little, and then press the air conditioner switch twice (first it will turn off, then turn on). After the water evaporates, the light will stop blinking.

Caution! When the air conditioner is running, the idle speed increases slightly because the air conditioner compressor turns on and off automatically. Therefore, be careful when starting the car.

Fan speed switch

The fan speed is set by turning switch 2 clockwise or counterclockwise. For normal use, set the first or second speed.

Air temperature control knob

If handle 3 is turned all the way to the left, the heater is off. To increase the temperature, turn the handle clockwise.

Note: If the engine coolant temperature is low, the temperature of the air supplied to the passenger compartment will not increase even if the air temperature control knob is turned to the high temperature side.

• A. From the windshield and side window deflectors.
• B. From the central deflectors.
• C. From the side deflectors.
• D. From under the dashboard.
• E. From under the front seat.
• * – means weak air flow.

Ventilation mode selection knob

(To the head area). The air flow enters the upper part of the car interior.

(To the foot/head area) Air is supplied to the upper part of the car interior and to the foot area.

(To the leg area) Air enters only the leg area.

(To the footwell/to the windshield and side window heating deflectors). Air is directed to the footwell area, as well as to the windshield and door windows.

(To the windshield and side window heating deflectors). Air is supplied only to the windshield and door windows of the vehicle.

Note: Air is always supplied from the side vents regardless of the position of the ventilation mode selection knob.

Air intake mode selection switch

Each time this switch 5 is pressed, the ventilation mode changes between the outside air intake mode and the recirculation mode. In the recirculation mode, the indicator lamp lights up.

Outdoor air intake mode

Outside air enters the car's interior.

Air recirculation mode

Air recirculation occurs in the car's interior.

Note: The outside air intake mode should be selected to quickly clear the windshield and side windows of moisture or ice and keep them clean.

Select the recirculation mode when intensive cooling of the interior air is required, and also if the outside air is very dusty or polluted.

In this case, you should periodically turn on the outside air intake mode, which will prevent the windows from fogging up.

When the switch is in the air intake mode, the air intake and recirculation modes are changed automatically. If the outside temperature is high, the recirculation mode is activated to cool down again, and the indicator lamp starts flashing. Press the switch to return the system to the air intake mode.

Warning: Using the air recirculation mode for a long time may cause the windows to fog up.

Heating of the foot area

Set the ventilation mode selection knob to the positions shown in the figure and the air intake mode selection switch A to the outside air intake mode. Adjust the temperature by turning the temperature control knob clockwise or counterclockwise. Select the desired fan speed.

Note: For maximum heat, set the fan mode switch to speed three.

Combination of heated and unheated air

Set the ventilation mode and outside air intake mode selector knob to the positions shown in the figure. The air flow will be directed toward the feet and upper part of the passenger compartment.

Select the desired fan speed.

Warm air will be supplied to the feet, and not heated or weakly heated air to the upper part of the cabin.

Eliminating fogging of the windshield and door windows

Warning: For safety, make sure that the view through all windows of the car is good.

To remove frost or condensation (fogging) from the windshield or door windows, set the ventilation mode selection knob to the position or .

in this position, the foot area is heated and fogging is removed from the windshield and door windows (recommended when driving in rain or snow).

1. Set the air intake mode selection switch A to the outside air intake position.



2. Set the air intake mode selection switch to position.

3. Adjust the fan speed by turning the control knob.

4. Adjust the temperature by turning the temperature control knob.

5. Press the air conditioner switch B.



For quick removal of fogged glass.

Set the air intake mode selection switch A to the outside air intake position.

Set the air intake mode selection switch to position.

Set the fan speed control knob to maximum.

Set the air temperature control knob to maximum.

Press the air conditioner switch B.

Note: To effectively remove fog from 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 windows and condense on them (fogging will occur).

Supply of outside air into the cabin

To supply outside air to the passenger compartment in hot weather, set the air intake mode selection switch A to the outside air intake mode and the air temperature control knob to the positions shown in the figure. Make sure that the temperature control knob is set to the left stop. Select the desired fan speed.

Note: Turn the ventilation mode selection knob clockwise and the air flow will be directed to the feet and windshield.

Cooling

Set the ventilation mode selection knob to position p. Set the outside air intake mode with switch A and press the air conditioner switch B. Adjust the temperature by turning the air temperature adjustment knob clockwise or counterclockwise.



Select the required fan speed.

Note: If the outside air is dusty, extremely polluted, or if you want to cool the air in the car quickly, set the air intake mode selector 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 to prevent moisture from condensing on the windows.

When the switch is in the air intake mode, the air intake and recirculation modes are changed automatically. If the outside air temperature is high, the recirculation mode is activated to cool down again, and the indicator lamp starts flashing. Press the switch to return the system to the outside air intake mode.

Caution! When the air conditioner is running, the idle speed increases slightly because the air conditioner compressor turns on and off automatically. Therefore, be careful when starting the car.
