Climate control
The automatic climate control system employs several sensors. These sensors are delicate. If they are treat- ed improperly and become damaged, the system may not be able to control the interior temperature correct- ly. To avoid damaging the sensors, observe the follow- ing precautions: – Do not subject the sensors to impact. – Keep water away from the sensors. – Do not cover the sensors.
The sensors are located as follows: – Solar sensor: beside the windshield defroster grille – Interior air temperature sensor: near the steering column – Ambient temperature sensor: behind the front grille.
Operating tips for heater and air con- ditioner
Cleaning ventilation grille
HS4022BA
Always keep the front ventilation 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.
4-16
Efficient cooling after parking in direct
sunlight
After parking in direct sunlight, drive with the windows 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.
Lubrication oil circulation in the refrig-
erant circuit
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.
Checking air conditioning system be-
fore summer 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.
Climate control
Cooling and dehumidifying in high hu-
midity and low temperature weather conditions
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.
Air conditioner compressor shut-off
when engine 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 accerela- tion or when driving on a steep upgrade.
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.

Washing The best way to preserve your vehicle’s beauty is fre- quent washing. Wash the vehicle at least once a month to avoid contamination by road grime.
Wash dirt off with a wet sponge and plenty of luke- warm or cold water. Do not wash the vehicle with hot water and in direct sunlight.
Salt, chemicals, insects, tar, soot and bird droppings should be washed off by using a light detergent, as re- quired. If you use a light detergent, make certain that it is a neutral detergent. Do not use strong soap or chemical detergents. All cleaning agents should be promptly flushed from the surface and not allowed to dry there. Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with plenty of lukewarm water. Wipe the remaining water off with a chamois or soft cloth.
y When washing the vehicle, the brakes may get wet. As a result, the brake stopping dis- tance will be longer. To dry the brakes, drive the vehicle at a safe speed while lightly pressing the brake pedal to heat up the brakes.
10-2
y Do not wash the engine compartment and area adjacent to it. If water enters the engine air intake, electrical parts or the power steering flu- id reservoir, it will cause engine trouble or faulty power steering respectively.
NOTE When having your vehicle washed in an automatic car wash, make sure beforehand that the car wash is of suitable type. Automatic car wash brushes or other equipment may damage the rear wiper and roof spoiler (if equipped). T Washing the underbody Chemicals, salts and gravel used for deicing road sur- faces are extremely corrosive, accelerating the corro- sion of underbody components, such as the exhaust system, fuel and brake lines, brake cables, floor pan and fenders, and suspension. Thoroughly flush the underbody and inside of the fenders with lukewarm or cold water at frequent inter- vals to reduce the harmful effects of such agents. T Using a warm water washer y Keep a good distance of 12 in (30 cm) or more be- tween the washer nozzle and the vehicle. y Do not wash the same area continuously.
y If a stain will not come out easily, wash by hand. Some warm water washers are of the high tempera- ture, high pressure type, and they can damage or de- form the resin parts such as mouldings, or cause water to leak into the vehicle.
Waxing and polishing Always wash and dry the vehicle before waxing and polishing. Use a good quality polish and wax and apply them ac- cording to the manufacturer’s instructions. Wax or pol- ish when the painted surface is cool.
Be sure to polish and wax the chrome trim, as well as the painted surfaces. Loss of wax on a painted surface leads to loss of the original luster and also quickens the deterioration of the surface. It is recommended that a coat of wax be applied at least once a month, or whenever the surface no longer repels water.
If the appearance of the paint has diminished to the point where the luster or tone cannot be restored, lightly polish the surface with a fine-grained com- pound. Never polish just the affected area, but include the surrounding area as well. Always polish in only one direction. A No. 2000 grain compound is recom- mended. Never use a coarse-grained compound. Coarser grained compounds have a smaller grain-size

number and could damage the paint. After polishing with a compound, coat with wax to restore the original luster. Frequent polishing with a compound or an in- correct polishing technique will result in removing the paint layer and exposing the undercoat. When in doubt, it is always best to contact your SUBARU deal- er or an auto paint specialist. NOTE Be careful not to block the windshield washer noz- zles with wax when waxing the vehicle.
Cleaning aluminum wheels y Promptly wipe the aluminum wheels clean of any kind of grime or agent. If dirt is left on too long, it may be difficult to clean off. y Do not use soap containing grit to clean the wheels. Be sure to use a neutral cleaning agent, and later rinse thoroughly with water. Do not clean the wheels with a stiff brush or expose them to a high-speed washing device. y Clean the vehicle (including the aluminum wheels) with water as soon as possible when it has been splashed with sea water, exposed to sea breezes, or driven on roads treated with salt or other agents.

Corrosion protection
proper ventilation.
Your SUBARU has been designed and built to resist corrosion. Special materials and protective finishes have been used on most parts of the vehicle to help maintain fine appearance, strength, and reliable oper- ation.
Most common causes of corrosion The most common causes of corrosion are: 1. The accumulation of moisture retaining dirt and de- bris in body panel sections, cavities, and other areas. 2. Damage to paint and other protective coatings caused by gravel and stone chips or minor accidents.
Corrosion is accelerated on the vehicle when: 1. It is exposed to road salt or dust control chemicals, or used in coastal areas where there is more salt in the air, or in areas where there is considerable industrial pollution. 2. It is driven in areas of high humidity, especially when temperatures range just above freezing. 3. Dampness in certain parts of the vehicle remains for a long time, even though other parts of the vehicle may be dry. 4. High temperatures will cause corrosion to parts of the vehicle which cannot dry quickly due to lack of
10-4
To help prevent corrosion Wash the vehicle frequently. If you drive on salted roads in the winter or if you live in a coastal area, you should flush the underbody with fresh water frequent- ly.
After the winter has ended, it is recommended that the underbody be given a very thorough washing.
Before the beginning of winter, check the condition of underbody components, such as the exhaust system, fuel and brake lines, brake cables, suspension, steer- ing system, floor pan, and fenders. If any of them are found to be rusted, they should be given an appropri- ate rust prevention treatment or should be replaced. Contact your SUBARU dealer to perform this kind of maintenance and treatment if you need assistance.
Repair chips and scratches in the paint as soon as you find them.
Check the interior of the vehicle for water and dirt ac- cumulation under the floor mats because that could cause corrosion. Occasionally check under the mats to make sure the area is dry. Keep your garage dry. Do not park your vehicle in a
damp, poorly ventilated garage. In such a garage, cor- rosion can be caused by dampness. If you wash the vehicle in the garage or put the vehicle into the garage when wet or covered with snow, that can cause damp- ness.
If your vehicle is operated in cold weather and/or in ar- eas where road salts and other corrosive materials are used, the door hinges and locks, trunk lid lock, and hood latch should be inspected and lubricated period- ically.
Appearance care
Cleaning the interior
Use a vacuum cleaner to get rid of the dust and dirt. Wipe the vinyl areas with a clean, damp cloth.
Seat fabric Remove loose dirt, dust or debris with a vacuum cleaner. If the dirt is caked on the fabric or hard to re- move with a vacuum cleaner, use a soft blush then vacuum it. Wipe the fabric surface with a tightly wrung cloth and dry the seat fabric thoroughly. If the fabric is still dirty, wipe using a solution of mild soap and lukewarm water then dry thoroughly.
If the stain does not come out, try a commercially- available fabric cleaner. Use the cleaner on a hidden place and make sure it does not affect the fabric ad- versely. Use the cleaner according to its instructions.
Leather seat materials The leather used by SUBARU is a high quality natural product which will retain its distinctive appearance and feel for many years with proper care. Allowing dust or road dirt to build up on the surface can cause the material to become brittle and to wear pre-

maturely. Regular cleaning with a soft, moist, natural fiber cloth should be performed monthly, taking care not to soak the leather or allow water to penetrate the stitched seams. A mild detergent suitable for cleaning woolen fabrics may be used to remove difficult dirt spots, rubbing with a soft, dry cloth afterwards to restore the luster. If your SUBARU is to be parked for a long time in bright sun- light, it is recommended that the seats and headrests be covered, or the windows shaded, to prevent fading or shrinkage. Minor surface blemishes or bald patches may be treat- ed with a commercial leather spray lacquer. You will discover that each leather seat section will develop soft folds or wrinkles, which is characteristic of genu- ine leather.
Synthetic leather upholstery The synthetic leather material used on the SUBARU may be cleaned using mild soap or detergent and wa- ter, after first vacuuming or brushing away loose dirt. Allow the soap to soak in for a few minutes and wipe off with a clean, damp cloth. Commercial foam-type cleaners suitable for synthetic leather materials may be used when necessary.
