control (
i f e q Ui p p e d)When the climate control system is set to
AUTO, 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 temperature inside the
vehicle. The automatic climate control system
utilizes several delicate sensors. If damaged,
the system may not be able to control the
interior temperature correctly. Do not subject
the sensors to impact, keep water away from
them and do not cover them.
fAn sp e e d co n t r o l diA l Turn the dial to AUTO (recommended
setting) to automatically adjust the
fan speed in accordance with the air
temperature inside and outside the
vehicle. Turn the dial past AUTO to select
the desired fan speed. Turn the dial to
the OFF position to turn the fan off.
Ai r in l e t se l e c t i o n BU t t o n Select this function for fast cooling with
the air conditioner or when driving on
a dusty road. Press the button to turn
ON the air inlet and recirculate air
inside the vehicle. The indicator light
illuminates. When the interior has cooled
to a comfortable temperature or the
road is no longer dusty, press the button
again to turn OFF the air inlet and allow outside air to flow into the vehicle. Press
the button again to cancel the AUTO
mode. To prevent fogging, do not stay in
the recirculated mode for any extended
period of time. When both the air flow
control dial and the fan speed control
dial are in the AUTO position, the air
inlet is set to the AUTO mode. Operating
the air inlet selection button in this state
cancels the AUTO mode. To return to the
AUTO mode, turn the air flow control
dial or the fan speed control dial to a
position other than the AUTO position.
Then turn to the AUTO position.
Ai r fl o w co n t r o l di
A lThis dial has six positions. Subaru
recommends using the AUTO position,
which adjusts the air flow automatically
in accordance with the air temperature
inside and outside the vehicle. The
dial can also be set to distribute air
through the instrument panel outlets;
the instrument panel outlets and foot
outlets simultaneously; the foot outlets;
the windshield defroster outlets and foot
outlets simultaneously; or solely through
the windshield defroster outlets.

Hi e l d de f r o s t/de f o gTo clear the windshield and side windows
of fog or frost, set the air flow control to
the defrost position, turn the temperature
control dial fully clockwise and set the fan
speed control to the fastest speed. When
the dial is set to the windshield defrost or
simultaneous foot outlet and windshield
defrost position, the air conditioner
compressor operates automatically to
defog the windshield quickly. At the
same time, the air inlet selection is
automatically set to outside air mode.

Ai r co n d i t i o n i n g BU t t o n When the fan speed control dial is
in a position other than OFF and the
A/C button is pushed, the cooling/
dehumidifying function will start
operating and the indicator light will
illuminate. To stop the function, push the A/C button again. When both the
air flow control dial and the fan speed
control dial are in the AUTO position,
the cooling/dehumidifying function is
set to the AUTO mode. Operating the
air conditioner button in this state

dehumidifying function. To return to the
AUTO mode, turn the air flow control
dial or the fan speed control dial to a
