Apparently you can change this. According to the magic book...


"You can change the following functions to match your preference.
  • Enable automatic air conditioning control:
when the mode selection dial or blower speed selection dial has been set to "AUTO" position of when the temperature control dial has been set to the minimum temerature, the air conditioning switch is automatically controlled.
  • Disable automatic air conditioning control:
The air conditioning switch is not automatically controlled, unless the air conditioning switch is used.
  • Changing the settings:
Press the air conditioning switch for about 10 seconds or longer
When the setting has changed, the system will beep and the indicator light will flash
- When the setting has been changed to disabled, the system will beep 3 times and the indicator will flash 3 times
- When the setting has been changed to enabled, the system will beep 2 times and the indicator light will flash 3 times"

Give it a try?

Not to burst your bubble, but this is not the function or lack of the function of auto leveling headlamps. What is happening is the actual headlamp bulb is slightly shaking inside of the headlamp element and causes the plasma arc to jiggle. Auto leveling headlamps adjust the cut-off in relation to the pitch of the vehicle, but the cut-off is not what is moving when our vehicle hits bumps, and it wont reduce the flutter. The light PATTERN changes, a direct result of the arc shifting. When the bulb shakes and the arc jiggles, it causes that "fluttering" effect on the road. Its annoying, yes, but its completely normal for ALL HIDs to have some degree of flutter effect on rough roads/ broken pavement. Heck, even many high-priced BMWs with auto leveling xenons have fluttering when driving over larger bumps, and I'm speaking as someone who looks out and sees an X3, 335xi, and E63 AMG in the driveway

PS: If you think ours is bad, go drive an 04-09 Mazda3 with the HIDs

If you want to read more on the phenomenon, just google "HID Flutter," there are many forums that indicate this event and how to possibly reduce the flutter.

Thank you Outie!
I will certainly give this a whirl.

Woah there...
Man, that's WAY more explanation on HID "jiggly" than I mean to make you type!
Thank you for the details of the possible flutter.. but that wasn't anywhere near what I was talking about.

I meant and still mean Auto-Leveling of HIDs. We own a BMW and that's what we have and is accustomed to with their Bi-Xenons. The headlight beam stays level no matter the bumps or jolts of the road. That's all we (i) was wishing Mitsu could have added to their (very nice) Super-Wide HIDs.

But, thanks for the heads up on the HID flutter, if ever we experience it - I'll know what to call it and why it's doing it.

No, I didn't realize Mazda3's HID were that bad. Glad we didn't get one of those then.

Oh its no problem at all, happy to inform. I've had my fair share of thinking my HIDs were broken after doing a projector retrofit on my SRT-4; I can write a book on HID flutter after all the research I've done, lol.

Now that's a little pocket rocket.
Reminds me of the days of the Dodge Omni GLHs.

For future OS models -
I would have Mitsu STOP removing features and functions that were already available on the ASX/RVR/O.Sport platform!

6spd would have been nice, the engine is pretty loud at 3000-3200 rpm on the highway in 5th.

A different tranny to allow towing with the car, not a lot of weight I mean how much could those 148 pissed off hamsters possibly pull anyway ��, but the possibility of a tow bar without the dealer voiding your warranty would be nice.
And
The ability to customize the good bye message on the screen.
