1) Ventilator inlet grill Always keep the front ventilator 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.

(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.

4-20

(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.

Installation of accessories Always consult your SUBARU dealer before installing a citizen band radio or other transmitting device in your vehicle. Such devices may cause the electronic control system to malfunction if they are incorrectly in- stalled or if they are not suited for the vehicle.

Pull the antenna out to extend it to its full length. (cid:84) FM reception Although FM is normally static free, reception can be affected by the surrounding area, atmospheric condi- tions, station strength and transmitter distance. Build- ings or other obstructions may cause momentary stat- ic, flutter or station interference. If reception continues to be unsatisfactory, switch to a stronger station.

If the magazine in the player has an idle position where you can insert a disc, the “DISC” indicator associated with the idle position will blink. If no indicator blinks, it means that there is no idle po- sition in the magazine. 2. As soon as the “DISC” indicator begins to blink, the “IN” will appear on display for a period of 15 seconds. Insert a disc during the period. The disc will be then automatically drawn in, and the player will begin to play back the first number of the disc. (cid:121) To insert more discs in succession, repeat Steps 1
and 2. The magazine will be loaded with discs in the ascending order of position number. If you do not insert any disc in 15 seconds after you have pressed the “LOAD” button, the player will begin to play back the first number of the last disc you have inserted.

Cigarette lighter socket (if equipped)

(cid:121) The electrical power socket located on the lower part of the instrument panel is originally designed to use a SUBARU genuine cigarette lighter plug. Do not use non-genuine cigarette lighter plugs in the socket. Doing so may cause a short-circuit and overheating, resulting in a fire. (cid:121) If the socket is ever used for a plug-in acces- sory such as a mobile phone, they may damage the portion of the socket’s internal mechanism that causes a cigarette lighter plug to “pop out” after its lighter element is heated. Therefore, do not place a cigarette lighter plug in a socket that has been used, even once, to power a plug- in accessory. Doing so may cause the plug to stick and overheat, creating a potential fire haz- ard. (cid:121) Do not place any foreign objects, especially metal ones such as coins or aluminum foil, into the socket. That could cause a short circuit.

6-10

UB6011BA

The electrical power socket located on the lower part of the instrument panel can be used as cigarette light- er socket. A cigarette lighter plug is an optional acces- sory. It is available from your SUBARU dealer. The cigarette lighter socket may also be used as a power source for an in-car use electrical appliance.

(cid:132) Use with a cigarette lighter

To avoid being burned, never grasp the lighter by the end with the heating element. Doing so could result in injury and could also damage

the heating element.

Do not hold the lighter pushed in, because it will overheat.

(cid:132) Using as an accessory power outlet Electrical power (12V DC) from the battery is on tap at the socket when the ignition switch is either in the “ACC” or “ON” position. If you use the socket as an accessory power outlet, take the following precautions. When the socket is not in use, always put the cap on the socket to prevent any foreign object from entering it.

(cid:121) Use only in-car use electrical appliances which are designed for 12V DC and which con- sume less than 120W. Overloading the socket can cause a short circuit. Do not use double adapters or more than one electrical appliance. (cid:121) If the plug on your electric appliance is either too loose or too tight for the socket, this can re- sult in a poor contact or cause the plug to get stuck. Only use plugs that fit properly. (cid:121) Use of an electric appliance in the socket for a long period of time while the engine is not running can cause battery discharge. (cid:121) Before driving your vehicle, make sure that the plug and the cord on your electrical appli- ance will not interfere with your shifting gears – CONTINUED – 6-11

and operating the accelerator and brake pedals. If they do, do not use the electrical appliance while driving.

Ashtray

If the socket has been used for electrical appliances, damage may have been done to the internal mecha- nism that cause a cigarette lighter to “pop-out” after its element has been heated. For that reason, a cigarette lighter, even if it is a genuine part, should not be used in the socket. If you want to use the socket for a ciga- rette lighter again, or to protect your purchaser before you sell your car, have your SUBARU dealer replace the socket with a new one.

Do not use ashtrays as waste receptacles or leave a lighted cigarette in an ashtray. This could cause a fire.

Fully close the ashtray after using it to help reduce re- sidual smoke.
