The automatic climate control system employs several sensors. These sensors are delicate. If they are treated incorrectly and become damaged, the system may not be able to control the interior tempera- ture correctly. To avoid damaging the sensors, observe the following precau- tions: – Do not subject the sensors to impact. – Keep water away from the sensors. – Do not cover the sensors.

The sensors are located as follows: – Solar sensor: beside windshield defros- ter grille

Operating tips for heater and air conditioner & Cleaning ventilator grille

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 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

Black plate (188,1)

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 your SUBARU dealer perform this check.

& Cooling and dehumidifying in

high humidity and low tem- perature weather condition

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 system.

北米Model "A2420BE-B" EDITED: 2006/ 7/ 26

& 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.

Air filtration system (if equipped)

If your vehicle’s air conditioning system is equipped with an air filtration system, replace the filter element according to the replacement schedule shown in the following. This schedule should be fol- lowed to maintain the filter’s dust collec- tion ability. Under extremely dusty conditions, the filter should be replaced more frequently. Have your filter checked or replaced by your SUBARU dealer. For replacement, we recommend the use of a genuine SUBARU air filter kit.

Replacement schedule:

Every 12 months or 9,300 miles (15,000
km) whichever comes first

CAUTION

Contact your SUBARU dealer if the following occurs, even if it is not yet time to change the filter: – Reduction of the air flow through

the vents.

– Windshield gets easily fogged or

misted.

NOTE The filter can influence the air condi- tioning, heating and defroster perfor- mance if not properly maintained.

XMTM Satellite radio recep- tion (if equipped)

XMTM is a continental U.S. based satellite radio service that offers more than 160
coast to coast channels, including music, news, sports, talk and children’s program- ming. XMTM provides digital quality audio and text information, including song title and artist name. A service fee is required to receive the XMTM service. For more information, contact XMTM at www.xmradio.com or call 1-800-XM- RADIO (1-800-967-2346). The XMTM satellite radio receiver that is fitted to your vehicle receives the neces- sary signals from two specially designated satellites that are in a geostationary orbit over the equator. One satellite covers the east coast and the other covers the west coast. Both of their signals north. These signals are then relayed throughout the USA by a network of ground repeater stations. The satellite radio signals are transmitted as “line of sight” signals. Line of sight signals can be blocked by objects such as buildings, but the network of repeater stations allows signal coverage within urban areas such as cities. You may experience problems in receiving

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 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 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 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.

To receive satellite radio, it is necessary to install the Subaru genuine satellite recei- ver (dealer option) and to enter into a contract. For details, please contact your SUBARU dealer.

& XMTM satellite radio XMTM is a continental U.S. based satellite radio service that offers more than 160
coast to coast channels, including music, news, sports, talk and children’s program- ming. XMTM provides digital quality audio and text information, including song title and artist name. A service fee is required to receive the XMTM service. For more information, contact XMTM at www.xmradio.com or call 1-800-XM- RADIO (1-800-967-2346).

& 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
