!Fan speed control dial
The fan operates only when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON ”position. The
fan speed control dial is used to select 4
fan speeds. ! Air flow control dial
This dial has the following five positions:
: Air flows through the instrument panel
outlets.
: Air flows through the instrument panel
outlets and the foot outlets.
: Air flows through the foot outlets and
some through the windshield defroster outlets.
: Air flows through the windshield
defroster outlets and foot outlets.
: Air flows through the windshield
defroster outlets. NOTE . You will find the notation “USE WITH
” on the air flow control dial plate.
This is intended to remind you to set
the air inlet selection lever in the “
”
position when defogging the wind- shield.
Defogging with the air inlet selection
lever set in the “
”position provides better defogging performance than in the
“
”position.
. When the dial is placed in the “”
or “”position, the air conditioner
compressor operates automatically re-
gardless of the position of the air
conditioner button to defog the wind-
shield quickly.
However the indicator on the air con-
ditioner button will not come on.
Also, you cannot stop the air condi-
tioner compressor by pressing the air
conditioner button. ! Air conditioner button (if equipped)
The air conditioner operates only when

Automatic climate control
system (if equipped)
Although this climate control system can
be used as a full-automatic climate control
system, it can also, if desired, be used as
a semi-automatic climate control system.
When it is used as a full-automatic climate
control system, the outlet air temperature,
fan speed, air flow distribution, air inlet
control, and air conditioner compressor
operation are all automatically controlled
to maintain a constant, comfortable tem-
perature inside the vehicle. NOTE .Operate the automatic climate con-
trol system when the engine is running. . When the engine coolant is cold, the
blower does not run.. In the “AUTO ”mode, when the air
temperature in the passenger compart-
ment is sufficiently cool, the air condi-
tioner compressor does not operate.
For efficient defogging or dehumidify-
ing in cold weather, press the “A/C ”
button to operate the air conditioner
compressor.. Even when cooling is not necessary,
setting the temperature much lower
than the current outlet air temperature
turns on the air conditioner compres- sor automatically and the
“A/C ”indi-
cator light on the control panel comeson. & Control panel

& To use as full-automatic cli-
mate control system
Place the temperature control dial in the
position for your desired temperature, then
set the other dials and buttons as de- scribed in the following. The system
’s
functions will then switch to AUTO mode

. Fan speed control dial: AUTO position
. Air inlet selection button: Press for at
least 1 second. (Indicator will flash twice.). Air conditioner button: Press for at least
1 second. (Indicator will flash twice.)
& To use as semi-automatic
climate control system
Each function can be individually set to
AUTO mode independently of the others.
Any function set to AUTO mode is con-
trolled automatically. Any function not set
to AUTO mode can be manually adjusted
as desired.
The temperature can be set within a range
of 65 to 85 8F (20 to 30 8C).

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.

11-44Maintenance and service
Main fuse
Main fuse box
The main fuses are designed to melt
during an overload to prevent damage to
the wiring harness and electrical equip-
ment. Check the main fuses if any
electrical component fails to operate (ex-
cept the starter motor) and other fuses are
good. A melted main fuse must be
replaced. Use only replacements with the
same specified rating as the melted main
fuse. If a main fuse blows after it is
replaced, have the electrical system
checked by your nearest SUBARU dealer. Installation of accessories
Always consult your SUBARU dealer
before installing fog lights or any other
electrical equipment in your vehicle. Such
accessories may cause the electronic
system to malfunction if they are incor-
rectly installed or if they are not suited for
the vehicle.
