Wiper and washer

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.

(cid:121) Do not operate the washer continuously for more than ten seconds, or when the washer flu- id tank is empty. This may cause overheating of the washer motor. Check the washer fluid level frequently, such as at fuel stops. (cid:121) Do not operate the wipers when the wind- shield 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. (cid:121) In freezing weather, be sure that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windshield or rear window before switching on the wipers. At-

tempting 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 oper- ate the defroster, wiper deicer (if equipped) or rear window defogger before turning on the wiper. (cid:121) If the wipers stop during operation because of ice or some other 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 operation. (cid:121) 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 flu- id” section in chapter 11.) Also, when driving the vehicle when there are freezing temperatures, use non-freezing type wiper blades. (cid:121) Do not clean the wiper blades with gasoline or a solvent, such as paint thinner or benzene. This will cause deterioration of the wiper

Instruments and controls

blades.

NOTE (cid:121) The wiper operates only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “ACC” position. (cid:121) Clean your wiper blades and window glass peri- odically with a washer solution to prevent streak- ing, 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. (cid:121) Grease, wax, insects or other material on the windshield or the wiper blades results in jerky wip- er operation and streaking on the glass. If you can- not 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 wa- ter. (cid:121) If you cannot eliminate the streaking even after following this procedure, replace the wiper blades with new ones. Refer to the “Replacement of wiper

(cid:121) Do not use sharp instruments or window cleaner containing abrasives to clean the inner surface of the rear window. They may damage the conductors printed on the window.

The rear window defogger operates only when the ig- nition switch is in the “ON” position. The rear window defogger switch is located on the cli- mate control panel. The defogger will automatically shut off after about 15

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:84) 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 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:84) 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.

(cid:84) Compass zone adjustment 1. The zone setting is factory preset to Zone 8. Refer to the “Compass calibration zone” map attached to the end of this manual to verify that the compass zone set- ting is correct for your geographical location. 2. Press and hold the right button for 3 seconds then release, and the word “ZONE” will briefly appear and then the zone number will be displayed. 3. Press the right hand button repeatedly to cycle the display through all possible zone settings. Stop cycling when the correct zone setting for your location is dis- played. 4. Releasing the button for 3 seconds will exit the zone setting mode.

There- fore, if these sensors are damaged, it is possible that the Automatic Climate Control system will not properly control the air temperature in the passenger compart- ment. To prevent possible damage to the sensors, please observe the following: – Do not allow anything to impact the sensors. – Be careful not to let water contact the sensors. – Do not cover the sensors. The sensors are found at the following locations: – Sun-load sensor (beside the windshield defroster

(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.

(cid:132) Checking air conditioning system be-

fore 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.

(cid:132) Cooling and dehumidifying in high hu-

midity and low temperature weather condition

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 accerela- tion or when driving on a steep upgrade.

(cid:132) Refrigerant for your climate control

system

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). 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 el- ement 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 deal- er.

Replacement schedule:

Every 12 months or 9,300 miles (15,000 km) whichev- er comes first

NOTE The filter can influence the air conditioning, heat- ing and defroster performance if not properly maintained.
