sition, the fan does not operate during
engine warmup until the engine cool-
ant temperature exceeds approx. 122 F
(50 C).
Temperature control dial
This dial is used to set the desired interior
temperature. With the dial set to your de-
sired temperature, the system automati-
cally adjusts the temperature of air sup-
plied from the outlets such that the desired
temperature is achieved and maintained.
If the dial is turned fully counterclockwise,
the system gives maximum cooling perfor-
mance. If the dial is turned fully clockwise,
the system gives maximum heating per- formance.
Air flow control dial
This dial has the following six positions.
The outlets from which air is supplied in
each position are as follows:
AUTO:
The air flow control is adjusted au-
tomatically in accordance with the air tem-
perature inside and outside the passenger
compartment, the intensity of sunlight,
and other factors. SUBARU recommends
using the AUTO position.
: Instrument panel outlets: Instrument panel outlets and foot out-
lets
: Foot outlets and windshield defroster
outlets (relatively little air from windshield defroster outlets)
: Windshield defroster outlets and foot
outlets
: Windshield defroster outlets
NOTE
When the dial is placed in the “ ”

side and outside the passenger compart-
ment, the intensity of sunlight, and other
factors. Pressing the button cancels the “
AUTO ” mode. SUBARU recommends us-
ing the AUTO position.
NOTE
The air conditioner ’s compressor does
not operate with an outside tempera-
ture of 32 F (0 C) or lower.
Temperature sensors
1) Interior air temperature sensor
2) Solar sensor
The automatic climate control system em-
ploys several sensors. These sensors are
delicate. If they are not treated properly
and become damaged, the system may
not be able to control the interior tempera-
ture correctly. To avoid damaging the sen-
sors, observe the following precautions:
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.
