With the dial set to your desired temperature, the system automatically adjusts the temperature of air supplied from the outlets such that the desired temper- ature is achieved and maintained. If the dial is turned fully counterclockwise, the system gives maximum cooling performance. If the dial is turned fully clockwise, the system gives maximum heating performance. NOTE The temperature is shown in units of Fahrenheit for the US model and in Centigrade for the Canadi- an model.

 Temperature 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.


HS4028BB


1) Interior air temperature sensor 2) Solar sensor


The automatic climate control system employs several sensors. These sensors are delicate. If they are not treated properly and become damaged, the system may not be able to control the interior temperature cor- rectly. To avoid damaging the sensors, observe the following precautions: – Do not subject the sensors to impact. – Keep water away from the sensors. – Do not cover the sensors.

Operating tips for heater and air con- ditioner


 Cleaning ventilation grille


HS4022CA


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.


Climate control


 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.

Air filtration system (if equipped)


If your vehicle’s air conditioning system is equipped with an air filtration system, replace the filter element according to the replacement schedule shown below. This schedule should be followed to maintain the fil- ter’s dust collection ability. Under extremely dusty con- ditions, the filter should be replaced more frequently. It is recommended that you have your filter checked or replaced by your SUBARU dealer. For replacement, use only a genuine SUBARU air filter kit.


Replacement schedule:


Every 12 months or 7,500 miles (12,000 km) whichev- er comes first


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.

 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.


The antenna is printed on the inside of the left side rear quarter window glass.

Accessory power outlets


Interior equipment


HS6056BA


– CONTINUED –


6-9


Interior equipment


HS6034BA


Accessory power outlets are provided in the center console and in the cargo area. Electrical power (12V DC) from the battery is on tap at the socket when the ignition switch is either in the “ACC” or “ON” position. You can use an in-car use electrical appliance by con- necting it to the socket. When both outlets are used at the same time, the total power consumption of the electric appliances must be 120W or less.


 Do not attempt to use a cigarette lighter in the


6-10


accessory power outlet.  Do not place any foreign objects, especially metal ones such as coins or aluminum foil, into the accessory power outlet. That could cause a short circuit. Always put the cap on the acces- sory power outlet when it is not in use.  Use only electrical appliances which are de- signed for 12V DC and which consume less than 120W. Overloading the accessory power outlet can cause a short circuit. Do not use dou- ble adapters or more than one electrical appli- ance.  If the plug on your electric appliance is either too loose or too tight for the accessory power outlet, this can result in a poor contact or cause the plug to get stuck. Only use plugs that fit properly.  Use of an electric appliance in the accessory power outlet for a long period of time while the engine is not running can cause battery dis- charge.  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.


Cigarette lighter socket


Interior equipment


NOTE When the lid of the center console is closed, a gap remains between the center console and the lid to allow the power outlet in the center console to be used. Pass the electrical appliance’s cord through this gap.


HS6035BA


A cigarette lighter socket can be found behind the ash- tray lid under the climate controls. Push gently on the lid to open it. A cigarette lighter plug is an optional ac- cessory. It is available from your SUBARU dealer. The cigarette lighter socket may also be used as a power source for an in-car use electrical appliance.


 The electrical power socket located on the lower part of the instrument panel is originally designed to use a SUBARU genuine cigarette – CONTINUED –

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.  If the socket is ever used for a plug-in acces- sory such as a mobile phone, that 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.  Do not place any foreign objects, especially metal ones such as coins or aluminum foil, into the socket. That could cause a short circuit.


6-12


 Use with a cigarette lighter


HS6036BA


The cigarette lighter operates only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” and “ACC” positions. To use the cigarette lighter, push in the knob and wait a few moments. It will automatically spring up when ready for use.


To avoid being burned, never grasp the lighter by the end with the heating element. Doing so could result in injury and could also damage the heating element.


Do not hold the lighter pushed in, because it will overheat.


 Using as an accessory power outlet Electrical power (12V DC) from the battery is on tap 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.


 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.  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.


Interior equipment


 Use of an electric appliance in the socket for a long period of time while the engine is not running can cause battery discharge.  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 causes a cigarette lighter to “pop out” after its element has been heated. For that reason, a ciga- rette lighter, even if it is a genuine part, should not be used in the socket. If you want to use the socket for a cigarette lighter again, or to protect your purchaser be- fore you sell your car, have your SUBARU dealer re- place the socket with a new one.
