heated interior. This results in quicker cooling by the air conditioner. Keep the windows closed during the operation of the air conditioner for maximum cooling efficiency.
& 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-season to circulate its oil.
& Checking air conditioning
system before summer sea- son
Check the air conditioner unit for refriger- ant leaks, hose conditions, and proper operation each spring. Have the air con- ditioning system checked by your SUBARU dealer.
& Cooling and dehumidifying in
high humidity and low tem- perature weather conditions Under certain weather conditions (high relative humidity, 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
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 accumulation of insects and leaves on the condenser.
& 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

& Air conditioner compressor
shut-off when engine is heavily loaded
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
control system
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.
Replace the filter element according to the replacement schedule as follows. This schedule should be followed to maintain the filter’s dust collection ability. Under extremely dusty conditions, 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) whichever comes firstCAUTION
Contact your SUBARU dealer if the following occurs, even if it is not yet time to change the filter:
. Reduction of the airflow through
the vents.
. Windshield gets easily fogged or
misted.

& Satellite radio reception Satellite radio signals are best received in areas with a clear view of the open sky. In areas where there are tall buildings, trees, tunnels or other structures that may obstruct the signal of the satellites, there may be signal interruptions. Other circum- stances that may result loss include driving near a wall, steep cliff, hill or driving on the lower level of a multi- tiered road or inside of a parking garage. To help reduce this condition, satellite radio providers have installed ground- based repeaters in heavily populated areas. However, you may still experience reception problems in some areas.

! Sirius XMTM satellite radio reception tips for antenna on the windshield (for U.S.A. only — if equipped)
For some models, the satellite radio antenna is fixed to the upper right hand corner of the windshield.
The Sirius XMTM satellite radio receiver that is fitted to your vehicle receives the necessary signals from two specially designated satellites that are in a geosta- tionary orbit over the equator. One satellite covers the east coast and the other covers the west coast. Both of them direct their signals north. These signals are then relayed throughout the radio reception area by a network of ground repeater stations. The satellite radio signals are transmitted as “line of sight” signals. The
– CONTINUED –
5-14 Audio
line of sight signals can be blocked by objects such as buildings, but the network of repeater stations allows signal cover- age within urban areas such as cities.
You may experience problems in receiving Sirius XMTM satellite radio signals in the following situations. . If you are driving northward in a coastal area Because the satellite radio antenna is located on the windshield, the signal comes from the south and may not be able to reach the antenna in some circumstances when you are driving north.
. If you drive under a bridge . If you are driving next to a tall vehicle (such as a truck or a bus) that blocks the signal . If you are driving in a valley where the surrounding hills or peaks block the signal from the south . If you are driving on a mountain road where the southern direction is blocked by mountains
. If you are driving in a tunnel or a covered parking area . If you are driving beneath the top level of a multi-level freeway
. If you are driving in an area with tall trees that block the signal (10 m or more), for example on a road that goes through a dense forest . The signal can become weak in some areas that are not covered by the repeater station network.
Please note that
these may be other
unforeseen circumstances when there are problems with the reception of XMTM satellite radio signals.
