(cid:121) The intercooler water spray warning light comes on when the water level in the tank has dropped to the lower limit. If the warning light illuminates, re- fill the tank with water. The tank is located on the right hand side of the trunk. For the tank refilling method, refer to the “Intercooler water spray (WRX-STi)” section in Chapter 11. (cid:121) In cold weather (when you do not use the inter- cooler water spray), keep the tank half-empty or below in case the water freezes. A larger amount of water could break the tank if it froze.

Do not press the switch when the warning light is illuminated. If the switch is kept pressed when the tank is short of water, the water pump motor could overheat.

When the compass is on, an illuminated compass reading will appear in the lower part of the mirror. Even with the mirror in anti-glare mode, the mirror sur- face turns bright if the transmission is shifted into re- verse. This is to ensure good rearward visibility during reversing. (cid:86) Photosensors
The mirror has a photosensor attached on both the front and back sides. If the glare from the headlights of vehicles behind you strikes the mirror, these sensors
HS3038BA
detect it and make the reflection surface of the mirror dimmer to help prevent you from being blinded. For this reason, use care not to cover the sensors with stickers, or other similar items. Periodically wipe the sensors clean using a piece of dry soft cotton cloth or an applicator. (cid:86) Compass calibration 1. For optimum calibration, switch off all nonessential electrical accessories (rear window defogger, heater/ air conditioning system, spotlight, etc.) and ensure all doors are shut. 2. Drive to an open, level area away from large metal- lic objects or structures and make certain the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. 3. Press and hold the left button for 3 seconds then re- lease, and the compass will enter the calibration mode. “CAL” and direction will be displayed. 4. Drive slowly in a circle until “CAL” disappears from the display (about two or three circles). The compass is now calibrated. 5. Further calibration may be necessary should out- side. Influences cause the mirror to read inaccurately. You will know that this has occurred if your compass begins to read in only limited directions. Should you encounter this situation, return to step one of the above procedure and recalibrate the mirror.

Operating tips for heater and air con- ditioner (cid:132) Cleaning ventilation grille
UG4040BA
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
(cid:132) 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.
(cid:132) 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.

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.
(cid:132) 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 accelera- tion or when driving on a steep upgrade.
Air filtration system (Turbo model only) 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:

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).
