Operating tips for heater and air con- ditioner (cid:84) Cleaning ventilator grille
UB4037BA
Always keep the front ventilator inlet grille free of snow, leaves, or other obstructions to ensure efficient heating and defrosting. Since the condenser is located in front of the radiator, this area should be kept clean because cooling performance is impaired by any ac- cumulation of insects and leaves on the condenser.

(cid:84) Air conditioner compressor shut-off when en-
gine is heavily loaded
To improve acceleration and gas mileage, the air con- ditioner compressor is designed to temporarily shut off during air conditioner operation whenever the acceler- ator is fully depressed such as during rapid accelera- tion or when driving on a steep upgrade. (cid:84) Refrigerant for your climate control system Your air conditioner uses ozone friendly refrigerant HFC134a. Therefore, the method of adding, changing or checking the refrigerant is different from the method for CFC12 (freon). Consult your SUBARU dealer for service. Repairs needed as a result of using the wrong refrigerant are not covered under warranty.
Climate control
open for a few minutes to allow outside air to circulate into the heated interior. This results in quicker cooling by the air conditioner. Keep the windows closed during the operation of the air conditioner for maximum cool- ing efficiency. (cid:84) Lubrication oil circulation in the refrigerant cir-
cuit
Operate the air conditioner compressor at a low en- gine speed (at idle or low driving speeds) a few min- utes each month during the off-season to circulate its oil. (cid:84) Checking air conditioning system before sum-
mer season
Check the air conditioner unit for refrigerant leaks, hose conditions, and proper operation each spring. This check is best performed by your SUBARU dealer. (cid:84) Cooling and dehumidifying in high humidity
and low temperature weather condition
Under certain weather conditions (high relative humid- ity, low temperatures, etc.) a small amount of water vapor emission from the air outlets may be noticed. This condition is normal and does not indicate any problem with the air conditioning system.
4-12
Air filtration system (if equipped) If your vehicle’s air conditioning system is equipped with a optional air filtration system, replace the filter el- ement according to the replacement schedule shown below. This schedule should be followed to maintain the filter’s dust collection ability. Under extremely dusty conditions, the filter should be replaced more frequently. Have your filter checked or replaced by your SUBARU dealer.
Replacement schedule:
Every 12 months or 9,300 miles (15,000 km) whichev- er comes first
NOTE The filter can influence the air conditioning, heat- ing and defroster performance if not properly maintained.

Stand the roof antenna up for use. You can detach the roof antenna by turning it counterclockwise. When fit- ting the roof antenna, turn it clockwise and tighten it securely.
When working on the cargo bed, be careful not to get poked in the eye by the roof antenna.
NOTE (cid:121) Detach the roof antenna before putting the vehi- cle in a garage and before washing it in an auto- matic car wash. (cid:121) After detaching the roof antenna, keep the mounting hole free of dirt and dust. If any dirt or dust sticks to the hole, remove it before attaching the roof antenna. (cid:121) When detaching the roof antenna, grasp and turn the roof antenna at the base. (cid:121) To avoid damaging the roof antenna, be careful not to overtighten it when attaching it. (cid:121) Radio reception is not possible with the roof an- tenna folded down. Also, reception deteriorates if metallic objects are placed near the roof antenna.
Audio
(cid:132) FM reception Although FM is normally static free, reception can be affected by the surrounding area, atmospheric condi- tions, station strength and transmitter distance. Build- ings or other obstructions may cause momentary stat- ic, flutter or station interference. If reception continues to be unsatisfactory, switch to a stronger station.

Cigarette lighter socket
(cid:121) The electrical power socket located on the lower part of the instrument panel is originally designed to use a genuine SUBARU cigarette lighter plug. Do not use non-genuine cigarette lighter plugs in the socket. Doing so may cause a short-circuit and overheating, resulting in a fire. (cid:121) If the socket is ever used for a plug-in acces- sory such as a mobile phone, they may damage the portion of the socket’s internal mechanism that causes a cigarette lighter plug to “pop out” after its lighter element is heated. Therefore, do not place a cigarette lighter plug in a socket that has been used, even once, to power a plug- in accessory. Doing so may cause the plug to stick and overheat, creating a potential fire haz- ard. (cid:121) Do not place any foreign objects, especially metal ones such as coins or aluminum foil, into the socket. That could cause a short circuit.

(cid:132) Using as an accessory power outlet Electrical power (12V DC) from the battery is available at the socket when the ignition switch is either in the “ACC” or “ON” position. If you use the socket as an accessory power outlet, take the following precautions. When the socket is not in use, always put the cap on the socket to prevent any foreign object from entering it.
(cid:121) Use only in-car use electrical appliances which are designed for 12V DC and which con- sume less than 120W. Overloading the socket can cause a short circuit. Do not use double adapters or more than one electrical appliance. (cid:121) If the plug on your electric appliance is either too loose or too tight for the socket, this can re- sult in a poor contact or cause the plug to get stuck. Only use plugs that fit properly. (cid:121) Use of an electric appliance in the socket for a long period of time while the engine is not running can cause battery discharge. (cid:121) Before driving your vehicle, make sure that the plug and the cord on your electrical appli- ance will not interfere with your shifting gears

and operating the accelerator and brake pedals. If they do, do not use the electrical appliance while driving.
If the socket has been used for electrical appliances, damage may have been done to the internal mecha- nism that cause a cigarette lighter to “pop-out” after its element has been heated. For that reason, a cigarette lighter, even if it is a genuine part, should not be used in the socket. If you want to use the socket for a ciga- rette lighter again, or to protect your purchaser before you sell your vehicle, have your SUBARU dealer re- place the socket with a new one.

Roof rail and crossbar
(cid:121) For cargo carrying purposes, the roof rail must be used together with a roof crossbar kit and the appropriate carrying attachment. The roof rail must never be used alone to carry car- go. Otherwise, damage to the roof or paint or a dangerous road hazard due to loss of cargo could result. (cid:121) When using the roof crossbar kit, make sure that the total weight of the crossbars, carrying attachment and cargo does not exceed the maximum load limit. Overloading may cause damage to the vehicle and create a safety haz- ard.

1) Crossbar kit The roof rail is not designed to carry cargo by itself. Cargo can be carried after securing the roof crossbar kit to the roof rail and installing the appropriate carry- ing attachment. When installing the roof crossbar kit, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. When you carry cargo on the roof using the roof cross- bar kit and a carrying attachment, never exceed the maximum load limit explained below. You should also be careful that your vehicle does not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and front and rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). See the “Loading your vehicle” section in Chapter 8 for information on
loading cargo into or onto your vehicle. The maximum load limit of the cargo, crossbars and carrying attach- ment must not exceed 100 lbs (45 kg). Place the heaviest load at the bottom, nearest the roof, and evenly distribute the cargo. Always properly secure all cargo.
(cid:132) Installing carrying attachments on the
crossbars
When installing any carrying attachment such as a bike carrier, ski carrier, kayak carrier, cargo basket, etc. on the crossbars, follow the manufacturer’s in- structions and make sure that the attachment is se- curely fixed to the crossbars. Use only attachments designed specifically for the crossbars. A set of the crossbars is designed to carry loads (cargo and at- tachment) of not more than 100 lbs (45 kg). Before operating the vehicle, make sure that the cargo is properly secured on the attachment. NOTE Remember that the vehicle’s center of gravity is al- tered with the weight of the load on the roof, thus affecting the driving characteristics. Drive carefully. Avoid rapid starts, hard cornering and abrupt stops. Crosswind effects will be in- creased.

(cid:132) Removal and installation of the cross-
bars
Do not carry cargo on the roof when the cross- bars are removed. Luggage on the roof will be thrown forward or backward in sudden stops or rapid accelerations, resulting in a dangerous road hazard.
The crossbars can be removed when you do not use the roof to carry cargo.
