NOTE (cid:121) The light may stay on for a while after the engine has been started, especially in cold weather. This does not indicate the existence of a problem. The light should go out as soon as the engine has warmed up. (cid:121) The indicator light comes on when the engine has developed a problem and the CHECK ENGINE warning light/ Malfunction indicator lamp is on.

The Vehicle Dynamics Control system is probably faulty under the following condi- tion. Have your vehicle checked at a SUBARU dealer as soon as possible. (cid:121) The light does not go out even after the lapse of several minutes (the engine has warmed up) after the engine has started.

ingly, if the ABS is inoperative, the Vehicle Dynamics Control system becomes un- able to provide ABS control. As a result, the Vehicle Dynamics Control system also becomes inoperative, causing the warning light to come on. Though both the Vehicle Dynamics Control and ABS systems are inoperative in this case, the ordinary func- tions of the brake system are still avail- able. You will be safe while driving with this condition, but have your vehicle checked at a SUBARU dealer as soon as possible. NOTE If the warning light behavior is as shown in the following, the Vehicle Dy- namics Control system may be consid- ered normal. (cid:121) The warning light comes on right af- ter the engine is started but goes out immediately, remaining off. (cid:121) The warning light comes on after en- gine startup and goes off while the ve- hicle is subsequently being driven. (cid:121) The warning light comes on during driving, but it goes out immediately and remains off. (cid:84) Traction Control system OFF indica-

(cid:121) In freezing weather, be sure that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windshield or rear window be- fore 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 blades are frozen to the window glass, be sure to operate the defroster, wiper deicer (if equipped) or rear window defog- ger before turning on the wiper.

(cid:121) If the wipers stop during opera- tion 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 ve- hicle in a safe place, turn the igni- tion switch to the “LOCK” posi- tion and clean the window glass to allow proper wiper operation.

(cid:121) Use clean water if windshield washer fluid is unavailable. In ar- eas where water freezes in winter, use SUBARU Windshield Washer Fluid or (See “Windshield washer fluid” section in chapter 11.) Also, when driving the vehicle when there are freezing tempera- tures, 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 blades.

NOTE (cid:121) The front wiper motor is protected against overloads by a circuit breaker. If the motor operates continuously un- der an unusually heavy load, the circuit breaker may trip to stop the motor tem- porarily. If this happens, park your ve- hicle in a safe place, turn off the wiper switch, and wait for approximately 10
minutes. The circuit breaker will reset itself, and the wipers will again operate normally. (cid:121) Clean your wiper blades and window glass periodically with a washer solu- tion to prevent streaking, and to re-

move accumulations of road salt or road film. Keep the washer button de- pressed 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 materi- al on the windshield or the wiper blades results in jerky wiper operation and streaking on the glass. If you can- not remove those streaks after operat- ing the washer or if the wiper operation is jerky, clean the outer surface of the windshield or rear window and the wip- er blades using a sponge or soft cloth with a neutral detergent or mild-abra- sive 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 water. (cid:121) If you cannot eliminate the streaking even after following this procedure, re- place the wiper blades with new ones. Refer to the “Replacement of wiper blades” section (chapter 11) for re- placement instructions.

(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

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-

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.

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 in- formation, contact XMTM at www.xmradio.com or call 1-800-XM-RA- DIO (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 them direct their signals north. These signals are then relayed throughout the USA by a network of ground repeater stations. The satellite ra- dio 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 receiv-
