Operating tips for heater and air conditioner B Cleaning ventilator grille Ventilator inlet grille HS0083 Always keep the front ventilator inlet grille free of snow, leaves, or oth- er 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 accumulation of insects and leaves on the condenser. B 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 re- sults in quicker cooling by the air conditioner. Keep the windows closed during the operation of the air conditioner for maximum cooling efficiency. B Lubrication oil circulation in the refrigerant circuit Operate the air conditioner compressor at a low engine speed (at idle or low driving speeds) a few minutes each month during the off-sea- son to circulate its oil. – CONTINUED – 4-11 FORESTER (72F) NA (E) A8040B B Checking air conditioning system before 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. B Cooling and dehumidifying in high humidity and low tempera- ture weather condition Under certain weather conditions (high relative humidity, low tempera- tures, etc.) a small amount of water vapor emission from the air outlets may be noticed during cooling or dehumidifying. This condition is nor- mal and does not indicate any problem with the air conditioning sys- tem. B Air conditioner compressor shut-off when engine is heavily loaded To improve acceleration and gas mileage, the air conditioner com- pressor is designed to temporarily shut off during air conditioner op- eration whenever the accelerator is fully depressed. Such as during rapid acceleration or when driving on a steep upgrade. B Refrigerant for your climate control system Your air conditioner uses ozone friendly refrigerant HFC134a. There- fore, 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 re- frigerant are not covered under warranty. Air filtration system (if equipped) If your vehicle’s air conditioning system is equipped with a optional air filtration system, replace the filter element 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. Since the filter element is a viscous type, it is unnecessary to clean or wash the element. 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. 4-12 FORESTER (72F) NA (E) A8040B Climate control Replacement schedule: Every 12 months or 7,500 miles (12,000 km) whichever comes first NOTE The filter can influence the air conditioning, heating and defroster performance. B Replacement procedure HS4007BB Old filter HS0254 1. Remove the filter cover from the cooling unit by removing the two (2) clips with a blade screwdriver and unhooking the hinge. The screwdriver must be inserted into the top of the clip. Do not pry the middle on the clip. 2. Remove the old filters. – CONTINUED – 4-13 FORESTER (72F) NA (E) A8040B HS4004BB 3. Insert the front filter assembly in the cooling unit, then install the rear filter assembly. NOTE D Hold the filter tabs to facilitate installation. D The passenger compartment side of each filter is marked with arrows (indicating “UP” and the direction of air flow). Ensure the arrows point in the correct directions. D Ensure each filter assembly’s tongues and grooves fit the cor- responding cooling unit and matching filter tongues and grooves. HS4005BB 4. Reinstall the cover and secure it using the clips. NOTE Ensure no air leaks from the cooling unit through the cover. 4-14 FORESTER (72F) NA (E) A8040B Climate control HS4006BB 5. Fill in the maintenance label with the replacement date and mile- age. 6. Install it on the left hand side of the instrument panel as shown. D The filter must be replaced every 7,500 mile (12,000 km) or 1 year. D The filter may need to be replaced more frequently in dusty areas. 7. Install the caution label on the left hand side of the instrument pan- el next to the maintenance label as shown above. – CONTINUED – 4-15 FORESTER (72F) NA (E) A8040B Audio . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Doing so may damage the antenna printed on the window. The antenna is printed on the inside of the left side rear quarter window glass (station wagon). HS5000BB B FM reception Although FM is normally static free, reception can be affected by the surrounding area, atmospheric conditions, station strength and trans- mitter distance. Buildings or other obstructions may cause momentary static, flutter or station interference. If reception continues to be unsat- isfactory, switch to a stronger station. Installation of accessories Always consult your SUBARU dealer before installing a citizen band ra- dio or other transmitting device in your vehicle. Such devices may cause the electronic control system to malfunction if they are incorrectly installed or if they are not suited for the vehicle. 5-2 FORESTER (72F) NA (E) A8040B Audio Audio set Your SUBARU may be equipped with one of the following audio sets.
