In this mode, the radio scans through the radio band until a station is found. The radio will stop at the station for five seconds while displaying the fre- quency, after which scanning will continue until the en- tire band has been scanned. Press the (cid:147) (cid:148) side of the button again to cancel the scan mode and to stop on any displayed frequency. If you hold down the (cid:147) (cid:148) side of the button, the radio will scan up the frequency band (from low frequencies to high frequencies). If you hold down the (cid:147) (cid:148) side of (cid:148) or (cid:147) the button, the radio will scan down the frequency band (from high frequencies to low frequencies). Automatic tuning may not function properly if the sta- tion reception is weakened by distance from the sta- tion or proximity to tall buildings and hills. ! Selecting preset stations UB5210AA Presetting a station with a (cid:147)preset button(cid:148) allows you to select that station in a single operation.

" Skipping may occur when the CD player is subject- ed to severe vibration (for example, when the vehicle is driven on a rough surface). " To remove a disc from the case, press the center of the case and hold both edges of the disc. If the disc surface is touched directly, contamination could cause poor tone quality. Do not touch the disc surface. " Use a clean disc whenever possible. If there are de- posits, wipe the disc surface from the center outward with a dry, soft cloth. Be sure not to use a hard cloth, thinner, benzene, alcohol, etc. " Do not use any disc that is scratched, deformed, or cracked. Also, do not use any disc that has a non-stan- dard shape (for example, a heart shape). Malfunctions or problems might result. " A disc is vulnerable to heat. Never keep it either in places exposed to direct sunlight, near heaters or in vehicles parked in the sun or hot days. Audio HS5018BA (cid:150) CONTINUED (cid:150) 5-59 Audio MP3 audio ! What is MP3? MP3 (the name is an abbreviation of (cid:145)MPEG Audio Layer 3(cid:146)) is a compression format for digital audio. It was developed by the Motion Picture Experts Group. It permits audio data to be shrunk by a factor of about 10 with no loss of sound quality, meaning that the au- dio on 10 conventional CDs can be fitted onto a single CD-R or CD-RW (assuming a bit rate of 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz). NOTE " MP3 encoding and writing software is not sup- plied with the audio system. " CD writing software is not supplied with the au- dio system. ! Creating MP3 files " To create a high-quality MP3 file, it is advisable to a high bit rate (128 kbps or higher) and a high sampling frequency. " If a file is created with a variable bit rate (VBR), the elapsed time during playback may not be displayed correctly and the sound may skip. " The sound quality during playback depends upon the encoder and bit rate. Detailed information can be 5-60 found in the user(cid:146)s manuals for encoder software and writing software. " A fixed bit rate of 128 kbps or higher is recommend- ed. ! Saving MP3 files on a disc " Do not save any non-MP3 file on a disc. Also, do not save any unnecessary folder on a disc. " If many folders and/or non-MP3 files are saved on a disc, a delay will be caused before playback begins. " If a disc contains both Compact Disc-Digital Audio (CD-DA) files and MP3 files, the system will play only the CD-DA files. " Add the extension (cid:145).MP3(cid:146) to the name of every MP3 file. The system will not play any file that has either no extension or an extension other than (cid:145).MP3(cid:146). " Do not add the extension (cid:145).MP3(cid:146) to the name of any non-MP3 file. Doing so could lead to speaker damage. " The system supports multi-session recording, so disc-at-once recording is recommended. " The system does not support packet writing soft- ware. " The system does not have a playlist function. " The system may not be able to display and play cer- tain MP3 files depending on the writing software and CD recorder. " Recording must be performed using a file system supported by the audio system. Otherwise, the audio system may not play the MP3 files and may not display folder titles and file titles. ! Supported file systems The audio system supports the following file systems: " ISO 9660 Level 1/Level 2 " Apple Extension to ISO 9660 " Joliet " Romeo NOTE The audio system does not support the following file systems: " Apple HFS " UDF 1.50 " Mix CD (CD Extra) ! Compression format " MPEG 1 audio layer 3 (MP3) Bit rate: 32 kbps (cid:150) 320 kbps Sampling frequency: 32, 44.1, 48 kHz " MPEG 2 audio layer 3 (MP3) Bit rate: 8 kbps (cid:150) 160 kbps Sampling frequency: 16, 22.05, 24 kHz Audio ! Numbers of folders and files " Maximum number of folders: 255 (including root folder) " Maximum number of files: 999 (maximum number in one folder: 255) " Maximum number of layers: 8 NOTE " Not all of the discs stored in MP3 files may be able to be played back. " Even if a folder contains no MP3 files, it is count- ed as a folder. " Writing software can rearrange folders and files such that the playback order is different from the desired one. " The playback order for a given disc can be dif- ferent with different players. ! Copyright issues Except with respect to copies made for personal use, duplication, distribution, and transmission of music and other copyrighted material on a disc without per- mission from the copyright holder is illegal.

Fuel requirements ! 2.5-liter non-turbo models The 2.5-liter non-turbo engine is designed to operate using unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 AKI or higher. ! 2.5-liter turbo models and 3.0-liter models The 2.5-liter turbo engine and 3.0-liter engine are de- signed to operate using premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 AKI or higher. If premium unleaded gasoline is not available, regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 AKI or higher may be temporarily used. For optimum engine performance and driveability, it is required (for 2.5-liter turbo models), and recommend- ed (for 3.0-liter models) that you use premium grade unleaded gasoline. 7-2 NOTE Be sure to use premium unleaded gasoline of 91 AKI or higher for a 2.5-liter turbo engine model. If other gasoline (lower than 91 AKI) is used, knock- ing, reduced output and poor accelerator re- sponse will result. ! Fuel octane rating This octane rating is the average of the Research Oc- tane and Motor Octane numbers and is commonly re- ferred to as the Anti Knock Index (AKI). Using a gasoline with a lower octane rating can cause persistent and heavy knocking, which can damage the engine. Do not be concerned if your vehicle some- times knocks lightly when you drive up a hill or when you accelerate. See your dealer or a qualified service technician if you use a fuel with the specified octane rating and your vehicle knocks heavily or persistently. ! Unleaded gasoline The neck of the fuel filler pipe is designed to accept only an unleaded gasoline filler nozzle. Under no cir- cumstances should leaded gasoline be used because it will damage the emission control system and may impair driveability and fuel economy. ! California fuel If your vehicle was certified to California Emission Standards as indicated on the underhood tune-up la- bel. It is designed to optimize engine and emission control system performance with gasoline that meets the clean burning low-sulfur California gasoline speci- fications. If you live in any other state than California, your vehicle will operate on gasoline meeting Federal specifications. Gasoline sold outside California is per- mitted to have higher sulfur levels, which may affect the performance of your vehicle(cid:146)s catalytic converter and may produce a sulfur exhaust odor or smell. SUB- ARU recommends that you try a different brand of un- leaded gasoline having lower sulfur to determine if the problem is fuel related before returning your vehicle to an authorized dealer for service. The CHECK EN- GINE warning light/Malfunction indicator lamp may also turn on. If this occurs, return to your authorized SUBARU dealer for diagnosis. If it is determined that the condition is caused by the type of fuel used, re- pairs may not be covered by your warranty. ! MMT Some gasoline contains an octane-enhancing additive called MMT (Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tri- carbonyl). If you use such fuels, your emission control system performance may deteriorate and the CHECK ENGINE warning light/Malfunction indicator lamp may turn on. If this happens, return to your authorized SUBARU Dealer for service. If it is determined that the Starting and operating condition is caused by the type of fuel used, repairs may not be covered by your warranty. ! Gasoline for cleaner air Do not let fuel spill on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. Fuels containing alcohol may cause paint damage, which is not covered un- der the SUBARU Limited Warranty. Your use of gasoline with detergent additives will help prevent deposits from forming in your engine and fuel system. This helps keep your engine in tune and your emission control system working properly, and is a way of doing your part for cleaner air. If you continu- ously use a high quality fuel with the proper detergent and other additives, you should never need to add any fuel system cleaning agents to your fuel tank. Many gasolines are now blended with materials called oxygenates. Use of these fuels can also help keep the air cleaner. Oxygenated blend fuels, such as MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl ether) or ethanol (ethyl or grain alcohol) may be used in your vehicle, but should con- tain no more than 15% MTBE or 10% ethanol for the proper operation of your SUBARU. (cid:150) CONTINUED (cid:150) 7-3 Starting and operating In addition, some gasoline suppliers are now produc- ing reformulated gasolines, which are designed to re- duce vehicle emissions. SUBARU approves the use of reformulated gasoline. If you are not sure what the fuel contains, you should ask your service station operators if their gasolines contain detergents and oxygenates and if they have been reformulated to reduce vehicle emissions. As additional guidance, only use fuels suited for your vehicle as explained below. " Fuel should be unleaded and have an octane rating no lower than that specified in this manual. " Methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) is sometimes mixed with unleaded gasoline. Methanol can be used in your vehicle ONLY if it does not exceed 5% of the fuel mixture AND if it is accompanied by sufficient quantities of the proper cosolvents and corrosion in- hibitors required to prevent damage to the fuel system. Do not use fuel containing methanol EXCEPT under these conditions. " If undesirable driveability problems are experienced and you suspect they may be fuel related, try a differ- ent brand of gasoline before seeking service at your SUBARU dealer. " Fuel system damage or driveability problems which result from the use of improper fuel are not covered 7-4 under the SUBARU Limited Warranty. ! Fuel filler lid and cap ! Refueling UB7500CA 1. To open the fuel filler lid, pull the lid release lever up. UB7205BA Starting and operating 2. Open the fuel filler lid. UB7500BA (cid:150) CONTINUED (cid:150) 7-5 Starting and operating UB7501CB A) Open B) Close 3. Remove the fuel filler cap by turning it slowly coun- terclockwise. " Gasoline vapor is highly flammable. Before refueling, always first stop the engine and make sure that there are no lighted cigarettes, open flames or electrical sparks in the adjacent area. " When opening the cap, do not remove the cap quickly. Fuel may be under pressure and spray out of the fuel filler neck especially in hot 7-6 weather, which may cause injury. 4. Stop filling the tank after the fuel filler pump auto- matically clicks off. Do not add any more fuel. 5. Put the cap back on, turn it clockwise until you hear a clicking noise. Be certain not to catch the tether un- der the cap while tightening. 6. Close the fuel filler lid completely. If you spill any fuel on the painted surface, rinse it off immediately. Otherwise, the painted surface could be damaged. NOTE UB3526AA " You will see the (cid:147) (cid:148) sign in the combination meter. This indicates that the fuel filler door (lid) is located on the right side of the vehicle. " If the fuel filler cap is not tightened until it clicks or if the tether is caught under the cap, the CHECK ENGINE warning light may come on. Refer to the (cid:147)Warning and indicator lights(cid:148) section located in chapter 3. (Turbo model only) Promptly put fuel in the tank whenever the low fuel warning light comes on. If the engine misfired as a result of an empty tank, resulting catalyzer damage could cause damage to the turbocharger. " Never add any cleaning agents to the fuel tank. The addition of a cleaning agent may cause damage to the fuel system. " Make sure that the cap is tightened until it clicks to prevent fuel spillage in the event of an accident. " Do not let fuel spill on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. Fuels may cause paint damage, which is not covered under the SUBARU Limit- ed Warranty. " Always use a genuine SUBARU fuel filler cap. Starting and operating If you use the wrong cap, it may not fit or have proper venting, and your fuel tank and emis- sion control system might be damaged. (cid:150) CONTINUED (cid:150) 7-7 Starting and operating State emission testing (U.S. only) Testing of an All-Wheel Drive vehicle must NEVER be performed on a single two-wheel dy- namometer. Attempting to do so will result in uncontrolled vehicle movement and may cause an accident or injuries to persons nearby. Resultant vehicle damage due to improper test- ing is not covered under the SUBARU Limited Warranty and is the responsibility of the state inspection program or its contractors or licens- ees. At state inspection time, remember to tell your in- spection or service station in advance not to place your SUBARU AWD vehicle on a two-wheel dyna- mometer. Otherwise, serious transmission dam- age will result. Some states have started using dynamometers in their state inspection programs in order to meet their 7-8 obligation under federal law to implement stricter vehi- cle emission standards to reduce air pollution from ve- hicles. A dynamometer is a treadmill or roller-like test- ing device that allows your vehicle(cid:146)s wheels to turn while the vehicle remains in one place. Depending on the severity of a state(cid:146)s air pollution problems, the states must adopt either a (cid:147)basic(cid:148) or (cid:147)enhanced(cid:148) vehi- cle emission inspection test. Normally, a portion of the basic emission test consists of an emission inspector inserting an analyzer probe into the exhaust pipe of an idling vehicle for a short period of time. States with more severe air pollution problems are required to adopt an enhanced vehicle emission test. This test simulates actual driving conditions on a dynamometer and permits more accurate measurement of tailpipe emitted pollution than the basic emission test. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and states using two-wheel dynamometers in their emis- sion testing programs have EXEMPTED SUBARU AWD vehicles from the portion of the testing program that involves a two-wheel dynamometer. There are some states that use four-wheel dynamom- eters in their testing programs. When properly used, that equipment will not damage an AWD SUBARU ve- hicle. Under no circumstances should the rear wheels be jacked off the ground, nor should the driveshaft be dis- connected for state emission testing. The EPA has issued regulations for inspecting the On- Board Diagnostic (OBD) system as part of the state emissions inspection. The OBD system is designed to detect engine and transmission problems that might cause vehicle emissions to exceed allowable limits. These inspections apply to all 1996 model year and newer passenger cars and light trucks. About 30 states plus the District of Columbia have implemented the OBD system inspection. " The inspection of the OBD system consists of a vi- sual operational check of the (cid:147)CHECK ENGINE(cid:148) warn- ing light/malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) and an ex- amination of the OBD system with an electronic scan tool while the engine is running. " A vehicle passes the OBD system inspection if proper the (cid:147)CHECK ENGINE(cid:148) warning light/MIL illumi- nation is observed, there is no stored diagnostic trou- ble codes, and the OBD system readiness monitors
