Wiper and washer


WARNING


In freezing weather, do not use the windshield washer until the wind- shield is sufficiently warmed by the defroster. Otherwise the washer fluid can freeze on the windshield, blocking your view.


CAUTION


. Do not operate the washer con- tinuously for more than 10 sec- onds, or when the washer fluid tank is empty. This may cause overheating of the washer motor. Check the washer fluid level frequently, such as at fuel stops. . Do not operate the wipers when the windshield or rear window is dry. This may scratch the glass, damage the wiper blades and cause the wiper motor to burn out. Before operating the wiper on a dry windshield or rear window, always use the wind- shield washer.


If


. In freezing weather, be sure that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windshield or rear window before switching on the wipers. Attempting 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 mo- tor to burn out. 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. . 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 vehicle in a safe place, turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position and clean the window glass to allow proper wiper op- eration.


. Use clean water if windshield washer fluid is unavailable. In areas where water freezes in winter, use SUBARU Windshield Washer Fluid or the equivalent. Refer to “Windshield washer


Black plate (161,1)


Instruments and controls 3-33


fluid” F11-32. Also, when driving the vehicle when there are freezing tempera- tures, use non-freezing type wi- per blades.


. Do not clean the wiper blades with gasoline or a solvent, such as paint thinner or benzine. This will cause deterioration of the wiper blades.


NOTE . The front wiper motor is protected against overloads by a circuit breaker. The motor operates continuously un- der an unusually heavy load, the circuit breaker may trip to stop the motor temporarily. If this happens, park your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the wiper switch, and wait for approxi- mately 10 minutes. The circuit breaker will reset itself, and the wipers will again operate normally. . Clean your wiper blades and win- dow glass periodically with a washer solution to prevent streaking, and to remove accumulations of road salt or road film. Keep the washer button depressed at least for 1 second so that washer solution will be sprinkled all over the windshield or rear window.

. Grease, wax, insects or other mate- rial on the windshield or the wiper blades results in jerky wiper operation and streaking on the glass. If you cannot remove those streaks after operating the washer or if the wiper operation is jerky, clean the outer sur- face of the windshield or rear window and the wiper blades using a sponge or soft cloth with a neutral detergent or mild-abrasive 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. . If you cannot eliminate the streaking even after following this procedure, replace the wiper blades with new ones. For replacement instructions, refer to “Replacement of wiper blades” F11-33.

If the battery voltage drops below the permissible level, continuous operation of the windshield wiper deicer is canceled and the system stops operating.


CAUTION


To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not operate the windshield wiper deicer continu- ously for any longer than necessary.


NOTE . Turn on the windshield wiper deicer if the wipers are frozen to the wind- shield. . If the windshield is covered with snow, remove the snow so that the

Turning the dial counterclockwise and releasing it reduces the temperature by 18F (0.58C). Turning the dial clockwise and releasing it increases the temperature by 18F (0.58C). 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 ON position for fast cooling with the air conditioner or when driving on a dusty road. The indicator light will illuminate. OFF position (outside air): Outside air is drawn into the passenger compartment.

button on the control panel is in the “ON” position. The fan speed of the rear air conditioner can be adjusted using the rear air conditioner dial behind the center console. The fan speed can be adjusted in four steps by turning the dial. Turn the dial to the “OFF” position to stop the fan. NOTE . When the “A/C” button is in the “OFF” position and when the “A/C” indicator is not illuminated during AUTO mode operation, the air condi- tioner compressor does not operate, meaning that the system merely blows uncooled air out of the ventilators. . The outlet air temperature of the rear air conditioner cannot be adjusted. . The rear air conditioner cannot be used as a heater.


& Temperature sensors


Interior air temperature sensor


1) 2) Solar sensor


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 defroster 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


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 the air con- ditioning system checked by your SUBARU dealer.


& Cooling and dehumidifying in


high humidity and low tem- perature weather conditions 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.


& 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.

& Replacing the air filter


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 ability. Under extremely dusty conditions, the filter should be replaced more fre- quently. It is recommended that you 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
