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 the windshield
defroster grille.
– Interior air temperature sensor: near
the ignition switch.
– Outside temperature sensor: behind
the front grille.
Operating tips for heater and
air conditioner& Cleaning ventilation grilleAlways keep the front ventilation 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 sunlightAfter 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 circuitOperate 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-
sonCheck 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 conditionsUnder 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

& Tips for the Hands-free sys-
tem! Bluetooth
®
NOTEThe Bluetooth word mark and logo are
registered trademarks of Bluetooth
SIG, Inc.
It is possible to connect a cell phone to the
in-vehicle equipment through the Blue-
tooth
®format (wireless) to make a phone
call from the in-vehicle equipment or take
an incoming phone call.
Since the Bluetooth
®format is wireless, a
connection between the in-vehicle equip-
ment and the cell phone can be made
without placing them in close proximity of
each other. The cell phone can be used with it left in the breast pocket or bag.
NOTE.
The Hands-free system may not
operate properly under the following
conditions.
–The cell phone is turned off.
– The cell phone is not in the
phone call area.
– The battery of the cell phone has
run down.
– The cell phone is not connected
to the Hands-free system.
– The cell phone is behind the seat
or in the glove box.
– A metal material covers or
touches the cell phone.
. Depending on the type of cell phone
that is used, the screen on the cell
phone may remain illuminated while
the ignition switch is in the “ON ”
position. If this occurs, turn the illumi-
nation off by adjusting the cell phone
settings.
. Depending on the setting of the cell
phone, the dial lock function may be
activated after making a call. Deacti-
vate the automatic dial lock function of
the cell phone before using the Hands-
free system.
. Depending on the type of cell phone
that is used, operation and the sound volume may be different from those of
cell phones currently used.
.
When the ignition switch is turned to
the “LOCK ”position during a call, the
call may be disconnected or continued
on the cell phone depending on the
type of cell phone that is used. Note
that operation of the cell phone may be
necessary if the call is continued on the
cell phone.
. Do not speak at the same time as the
other party during a call. If you and the
party speak at the same time, it may be
difficult for the other party to hear your
voice and vice versa. This is normal.
. The receiver sound volume should
be set as low as possible. Otherwise,
the party you are calling may notice an
undesirable echo sound.
. Speak clearly and loudly.
. Your voice may be difficult to be
heard by the party under the following
conditions.
–Driving on a rough road.
– Driving at a high speed.
– Driving with a window open.
– When air from the ventilator
blows directly towards the micro-
