NOTE
When the dial is placed in the “

“” position, the air conditioner com-
pressor operates automatically to de-
fog the windshield quickly. At the same
time, the air inlet selection is automa-
tically set to “outside air ”mode.
& Air inlet selection button
ON position (Recirculation): Interior air
is recirculated inside the vehicle. 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 come on.
OFF position (Outside Air):
Outside air
is drawn into the passenger compartment.
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. AUTO: When the air inlet selection button
is pressed for at least one second, the
indicator flashes twice. The air inlet control
is then adjusted automatically in accor-
dance with the air temperature inside and
outside the passenger compartment, the
intensity of sunlight, and other factors.
Pressing the air inlet selection button
cancels the “AUTO ”mode. SUBARU
recommends using the AUTO position.
WARNING
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. &
Air conditioner button
The button ’s positions and their functions
are as follows: ON: The air conditioner operates while the
fan is running.
Push the button to select this position. The
indicator light will illuminate. OFF: The air conditioner does not oper-
ate.
Push the button again to select this
position. The indicator light will go off. AUTO: When the button is pressed for at
least one second, the indicator flashes
twice. The air conditioner compressor
operation is then adjusted automatically
in accordance with the air temperature
inside and outside the passenger com-
partment, the intensity of sunlight, and

other factors. Pressing the button cancels the“AUTO ”mode. SUBARU recommends
using the AUTO position.
NOTE
The air conditioner ’s compressor does
not operate with an outside tempera-
ture of 32 8F(0 8C) or lower.
& Temperature sensors
1) Interior air temperature sensor
2) Solar sensor
The automatic climate control system
employs several sensors. These sensors
are delicate. If they are not treated
properly and become damaged, the sys-
tem may not be able to control the interior
temperature correctly. To avoid damaging
the sensors, observe the following pre- cautions: –
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– Interior air temperature sensor: beside
the fan speed control dial– Outside temperature sensor: behind
front grille. Operating tips for heater and
air conditioner &
Cleaning ventilation 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 Climate control

NOTE . If the connection between the radio
and battery is broken for any reason
such as vehicle maintenance or radio
removal, all stations stored in the
preset buttons are cleared. If this
occurs, it is necessary to reset the
preset buttons.. If a cell phone is placed near the
