tion. 4. To fully open it, release the switch once, then push the rear side of the switch again and keep it depressed until the full open position is reached.

To close the moonroof(s) 1. Push the front side (CLOSE) of the switch. The rear moonroof will slide to close together with the rear sunshade while the switch is being pressed, then stop automatically at a position 5.9 in (15 cm) away from the fully closed position. 2. To close the rear moonroof fully, release the switch once, then push the front side of the switch continuously again. 3. If you want to close the front moonroof as well, push the switch again. After washing the vehicle or after it rains, wipe away water on the roof prior to opening the moonroof to prevent water drops from falling into the passenger’s compartment.

NOTE D Driving with the moonroof fully open can cause a great deal of wind noise. If such a condition has been encountered, close the moonroof up to the initial stop position of 7.9 in (20 cm), and the wind noise should diminish. D If the moonroof cannot be closed through switch operation because of system failure, it can be closed manually using a hex- headed wrench. For the procedure, refer to “Moonroof — if the moonroof cannot be closed” in Chapter 9 “In case of emergency”.

NOTE If the connection between the combination meter and battery is bro- ken for any reason such as vehicle maintenance or fuse replace- ment, the data recorded on the trip meter will be lost.

J Tachometer (if equipped)

CAUTION

Do not operate the engine with the pointer of the tachometer in the red zone. In this range, fuel injection will be cut by the engine control module to protect the engine from overrevving. The engine will resume running normally after the engine speed is reduced below the red zone.

The tachometer shows the engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute.

J Fuel gauge The fuel gauge shows the approximate amount of fuel remaining in the tank. The gauge does not return to “E” even though the ignition switch is in the “ACC” or “LOCK” position.

The gauge may move slightly during braking, turning or acceleration due to fuel level movement in the tank.

J Temperature gauge

CAUTION

If the pointer exceeds the normal operating range, safely stop the vehicle as soon as possible. See “In case of emergency” in this manual.

HB2012BB

The temperature gauge shows engine coolant temperature when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.

The coolant temperature will vary in accordance with the outside temper- ature and driving conditions.

We recommend that you drive moderately until the pointer of the temper- ature gauge reaches near the middle of the range. Engine operation is optimum with the engine coolant at this temperature range and high rev- ving operation when engine is not warmed up enough should be avoided.

Warning and indicator lights

Several of the warning and indicator lights come on momentarily and then go out when the ignition switch is initially turned to the “ON” posi- tion. This permits checking the operation of the bulbs. Apply the parking brake and turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position. The following lights come on:

Seatbelt warning light SRS airbag system warning light CHECK ENGINE warning light / Malfunction indicator lamp Charge warning light Oil pressure warning light AT OIL temperature warning light (AT vehicles) ABS warning light Brake system warning light

If any lights fail to come on, it indicates a burned-out bulb or a malfunc- tion of the corresponding system. Consult your authorized SUBARU dealer for repair.

J Seatbelt warning light and chime When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, the seatbelt warning light will come on and the reminder chime will sound for about six seconds to remind the driver to fasten the seatbelt. The seatbelt warning light remains on for about six seconds and turns off automatically after six seconds. The seatbelt reminder chime will turn off when the driver’s side seatbelt is buckled or it will turn off automatically after six seconds.

J SRS airbag system warning light AIRBAG When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, the SRS airbag system warning light will come on for about six seconds and go out. This shows the SRS frontal airbag and SRS side airbag (if equipped) and seatbelt pretensioners are in normal operation. If this light comes on while driving or does not go out after the engine starts, it may indicate that the SRS frontal airbag system or SRS side air-

bag system (if equipped) or seatbelt pretensioner system is not working properly. Contact your nearest SUBARU dealer immediately.

J CHECK ENGINE warning light/Malfunction

indicator lamp

CAUTION

If the CHECK ENGINE light comes on while you are driving, have your vehicle checked/repaired by your SUBARU dealer as soon as possible. Continued vehicle operation without having the emission control system checked and repaired as necessary could cause serious damage, which may not be covered by your vehicle’s warranty.

If this light comes on steadily or blinks while the engine is running, it may indicate that there is a problem or potential problem somewhere in the emission control system.

B If the light comes on steadily: If the light comes on steadily while driving or does not go out after the engine starts, an emission control system malfunction has been de- tected. You should have your vehicle checked by an authorized SUBARU dealer immediately.

NOTE This light also comes on when the fuel filler cap is not tightened until it clicks.

If you have recently refueled your vehicle, the cause of the CHECK ENGINE warning light/malfunction indicator lamp coming on could be a loose or missing fuel filler cap. Remove the cap and retighten it until it clicks. Make sure nothing is interfering with the sealing of the cap. Tightening the cap will not make the CHECK ENGINE warning light turn off immediately. It may take several driving trips. If the light does not go out, take your vehicle to your authorized SUBARU dealer immediately.

3-11

Legacy U.S.A. (66L) A2260BE–B

B If the light is blinking: If the light is blinking while driving, an engine misfire condition has been detected which may damage the emission control system. To prevent serious damage to the emission control system, you should do the following: D Reduce vehicle speed. D Avoid hard acceleration. D Avoid steep uphill grades. D Reduce the amount of cargo, if possible. D Stop towing a trailer as soon as possible.

The CHECK ENGINE warning light may stop blinking and come on steadily after several driving trips. You should have your vehicle checked by an authorized SUBARU dealer immediately.

J Charge warning light If this light comes on when the engine is running, it may indicate that the charging system is not working properly.

If the light comes on while driving or does not go out after the engine starts, stop the engine at the first safe opportunity and check the alterna- tor belt. If the belt is loose, broken or if the belt is in good condition but the light remains on, contact your nearest SUBARU dealer immediately.

J Oil pressure warning light

CAUTION

Do not operate the engine with the oil pressure warning light on. This may cause serious engine damage.

If this light comes on when the engine is running, it may indicate that the engine oil pressure is low and the lubricating system is not working prop- erly. If the light comes on while driving or does not go out after the engine starts, stop the engine at the first safe opportunity and check the engine oil level. If the oil level is low, add oil immediately. If the engine oil is at

the proper level but the light remains on, contact your nearest SUBARU dealer immediately.

J AT OIL TEMPerature warning light

(for AT vehicles)

If this light comes on when the engine is running, it may indicate that the automatic transmission fluid temperature is too hot.

If the light comes on while driving, it is unnecessary to stop the vehicle, but avoid driving up steep grades or in stop and go traffic.

B Automatic transmission control system warning If the light flashes after the engine starts, it may indicate that the auto- matic transmission control system is not working properly. Contact your nearest SUBARU dealer for service immediately.

(U.S.) J ABS warning light (Canada) The ABS warning light comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position and goes out after about two seconds. This is an indication that the ABS system is working properly. If the warning light behaves as follows, the ABS system may not work properly.

D The warning light does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position. D The warning light comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, but it does not go out even when the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 8 mph (12 km/h). D The warning light comes on during driving.

When the warning light is on, the ABS function shuts down; however, the conventional brake system continues to operate normally. If this occurs, have the ABS system repaired at the first available opportunity by your SUBARU dealer.

– CONTINUED –

3-13

Legacy U.S.A. (66L) A2260BE–B

NOTE If the warning light behavior is as shown below, the ABS system may be considered normal. D The warning light comes on right after the engine is started but goes out immediately, remaining off. D The warning light remains on after the engine has been started, but it goes out when the vehicle speed reaches about 8 mph (12
km/h). D The warning light comes on during driving, but it goes out immediately and remains off.

When driving with an insufficient battery voltage such as when the en- gine is jump started, the ABS warning light may come on. This is due to the low battery voltage and does not indicate a malfunction. When the battery becomes fully charged, the light will go out.

J Brake system warning light

(U.S.)

(Canada)

WARNING

D Driving with the brake system warning light on is dangerous. This indicates your brake system may not be working properly. If the light remains on, have the brakes inspected by a SUBARU dealer immediately. D If at all in doubt about whether the brakes are operating prop- erly, do not drive the vehicle. Have your vehicle towed to the nearest SUBARU dealer for repair.

Wiper and washer

WARNING

In freezing weather, do not use the windshield washer until the windshield is sufficiently warmed by the defroster. Otherwise the washer fluid can freeze on the windshield, blocking your view.

CAUTION

D Do not operate the washer continuously for more than ten se- conds, or when the washer fluid tank is empty. This may cause overheating of the washer motor. Check the washer fluid level fre- quently, such as at fuel stops.

Legacy U.S.A. (66L) A2260BE–B

D Do not operate the wipers when the windshield or rear window is dry. This may scratch the glass, damage the wiper blades and cause the wiper motor to burn out. Before operating the wiper on a dry windshield or rear window, always use the windshield washer. D In freezing weather, be sure that the wiper blades are not fro- zen to the windshield or rear window before switching on the wipers. Attempting to operate the wiper with the blades frozen to the window glass could cause not only the wiper blades to be damaged but also the wiper motor to burn out. If the wiper blade is frozen to the window glass, be sure to operate the defroster, wiper deicer (if equipped) or rear window defogger before turning on the wiper. D If the wipers stop during operation because of ice or some oth- er obstruction on the window, the wiper motor could burn out even if the wiper switch is turned off. If this occurs, promptly stop the vehicle in a safe place, turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position and clean the window glass to allow proper wiper opera- tion. D Use clean water if windshield washer fluid is unavailable. In areas where water freezes in winter, use SUBARU Windshield Washer Fluid or the equivalent. (See “Windshield washer fluid” section in chapter 11.) Also, when driving the vehicle when there are freezing tempera- tures, use non-freezing type wiper blades. D Do not clean the wiper blades with gasoline or a solvent, such as paint thinner or benzene. This will cause deterioration of the wiper blades.

NOTE D The wiper operates only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “ACC” position. D Clean your wiper blades and window glass periodically with a washer solution to prevent streaking, and to remove accumulations of road salt or road film. Keep the washer button depressed at least for 1 second so that washer solution will be sprinkled all over the

windshield or rear window. D Grease, wax, insects or other material on the windshield or the wiper blades results in jerky wiper operation and streaking on the glass. If you cannot remove those streaks after operating the washer or if the wiper operation is jerky, clean the outer surface of the windshield or rear window and the wiper blades using a sponge or soft cloth with a neutral detergent or mild-abrasive cleaner. After cleaning, rinse the window glass and wiper blades with clean water. The glass is clean if no beads form on the glass when you rinse with water. D If you cannot eliminate the streaking even after following this pro- cedure, replace the wiper blades with new ones. Refer to the “Wiper blade replacement” section (chapter 11) for replacement instruc- tions.

Operating tips for heater and air conditioner

B Cleaning ventilator grille

HB5019BC

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 results in quicker cooling by the air conditioner. Keep the windows closed during the operation of the air conditioner for maximum cool- ing 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

Legacy U.S.A. (66L) A2260BE–B

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. This condition is normal and does not indicate any problem with the air conditioning system.

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 accerelation 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 refrigerant 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. Have your filter checked or replaced by your SUBARU dealer.

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.
