(cid:132) Outside mirrors (cid:84) Convex mirror (Passenger side)

Objects look smaller in a convex mirror and farther away than when viewed in a flat mirror. Do not use the convex mirror to judge the dis- tance of vehicles behind you when changing lanes. Use the inside mir- ror (or glance backwards) to deter- mine the actual size and distance of objects that you view in convex mir- ror. (cid:84) Remote control mirror switch

The outside mirror defogger shares the button with rear window defogger. The outside mirror defogger operates only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” po- sition.

To turn on the outside mirror defogger, push the button. To turn it off, push the button again. The indicator light located on the button lights up while the outside mirror defogger is op- erating. The defogger will automatically shut off af- ter approximately 15 minutes. If the mirror clears before that time, push the button to turn it off. It also turns off when the ignition switch is turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position. If defrosting or defogging is de- sired when you restart your vehicle, you have to push the button to turn it on again. NOTE (cid:121) While the outside mirror defogger is operating, the rear window defogger also operates. (cid:121) When the rear window defogger has been set for continuous operation, the outside mirror defogger also operates continuously. Refer to the “Rear win- dow defogger button” section in this chapter.

To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not operate the de- fogger continuously for any longer than necessary.

(cid:121) Seven-seater models each have a rear air conditioner. The fan speed of the rear air conditioner can be adjust- ed, but other adjustments (outlet air temperature, air distribution, etc.) are not possible for the rear air condition- er.

Passenger’s side

It is possible to make separate tempera-

ture settings for the driver’s side and pas- senger’s side. Each temperature setting is shown on the display. With the dial set at your desired temperature, the system au- tomatically adjusts the temperature of air supplied from the outlets such that the de- sired temperature is achieved and main- tained. Turning the dial counterclockwise and re- leasing it reduces the temperature by 1°F (0.5°C). Turning the dial clockwise and re- leasing it increases the temperature by 1°F (0.5°C). Holding the dial in either turned position causes the temperature to change continuously. With the minimum temperature set, the system gives maximum cooling perfor- mance. With the maximum temperature set, the system gives maximum heating performance.

Push the air inlet selection button to the OFF position when the interior has cooled to a comfortable temperature and the road is no longer dusty. The indicator light will go off.

Continued operation in the ON posi- tion may fog up the windows. Switch to the OFF position as soon as the outside dusty condition clears. NOTE When driving on a dusty road or be- hind a vehicle that emits unpleasant exhaust gases, set the air inlet selec- tion button to the ON position.

1) Interior air temperature sensor 2) Solar sensor

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

4-10 Climate control

Operating tips for heater and air conditioner (cid:132) Cleaning ventilator grille

400518
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 im- paired by any accumulation of insects and leaves on the condenser.

(cid:132) Efficient cooling after parking

in direct sunlight

After parking in direct sunlight, drive with the windows open for a few minutes to al-

low 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 con- ditioner for maximum cooling efficiency.

(cid:132) 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.

(cid:132) Checking air conditioning system before summer sea- son

Check the air conditioner unit for refriger- ant leaks, hose conditions, and proper op- eration each spring. Have your SUBARU dealer perform this check.

(cid:132) 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 sys- tem.

(cid:132) Air conditioner compressor

shut-off when engine is heavily loaded

To improve acceleration and gas mileage, the air conditioner compressor is de- signed to temporarily shut off during air conditioner operation whenever the accel- erator is fully depressed such as during rapid acceleration 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 Replace the filter element according to the replacement schedule shown in the fol- lowing. This schedule should be followed to maintain the filter’s dust collection abili- ty. 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 15 months or 15,000 miles (24,000
km) whichever comes first

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.

(cid:132) FM reception Although FM is normally static free, recep- tion can be affected by the surrounding ar- ea, atmospheric station strength and transmitter distance. Build- ings or other obstructions may cause mo- mentary static, flutter or station interfer- ence. If reception continues to be unsatis- factory, switch to a stronger station. NOTE If a cell phone is placed near the radio, it may cause the radio to emit noise when it receives calls. This noise does not indicate a radio fault.

Installation of accessories Always consult your SUBARU dealer be- fore 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 incorrect- ly installed or if they are not suited for the vehicle.

(cid:121) You cannot use a DualDisc in the CD player. If you insert a DualDisc into the player, the disc may not come out again, possibly causing the player to malfunc- tion. (cid:121) In cold and/or rainy weather, dew can form inside the CD player, preventing nor- mal operation. If this happens, eject the CD and wait for the player to dry out. (cid:121) Skipping may occur when the CD player is subjected to severe vibration (for exam- ple, when the vehicle is driven on a rough surface). (cid:121) To remove a disc from the case, press the center of the case and hold both edg- es of the disc. If the disc surface is touched directly, contamination could cause poor tone quality.
