Intercooler water spray switch (WRX-STI)


NOTE


Pressing this switch causes water to be sprayed into the intercooler. It can be used to help maintain adequate intercooler performance when the outside tempera- ture is high.


Water is sprayed for approximately 2
seconds every time the switch is pressed and then released.


. 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, refill 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. . In cold weather (when you do not use the intercooler 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.

To improve acceleration and gas mileage, the air conditioner compressor is designed to temporarily shut off during air condi- tioner operation whenever the accelerator is fully depressed such as during rapid acceleration or when driving on a steep upgrade.


& Refrigerant for your climate

Your air conditioner uses ozone friendly refrigerant HFC134a. Therefore, the meth- od 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.


Air filtration system


If your vehicle’s air conditioning system is equipped with an air filtration system, replace the filter element according to the replacement schedule shown in the following. This schedule should be fol- lowed to maintain the filter’s dust collec- tion ability. Under extremely dusty condi- tions, the filter should be replaced more frequently. is recommended that you have your filter checked or replaced by your SUBARU dealer.
