!Compass calibration
1. For optimum calibration, switch off all
nonessential electrical accessories (rear
window defogger, heater/air conditioning
system, spotlight, etc.) and ensure all
doors are shut.
2. Drive to an open, level area away from
large metallic objects or structures and
make certain the ignition switch is in the“ ON ”position.
3. Press and hold the compass button for
6 to 9 seconds, and then release it. The
compass will enter the calibration mode,then “C ” and the direction will be dis-
played.
4. Drive slowly in a circle until “C ”
disappears from the display. Driving in
two or three circles might be necessary.
The compass is now calibrated.
5. Further calibration may be necessary
should outside influences cause the com-
pass to read inaccurately. You will notice
any outside influence if the compass tends
to read in only one particular direction.
Should you encounter this situation, return
to step 1 of the above procedure and
recalibrate the compass. !

can be used to activate remote control
devices such as gate operators, garage
door openers, door locks, home lighting
and security systems.
There are three HomeLink
®buttons on the

for operation of one desired device. For
details on the device types which can be

WARNING
. When programming the
HomeLink
®Wireless Control Sys-
tem, you may be operating a
garage door opener or other
device. Make sure that people
and objects are out of the way
ofthegaragedoororother
device to prevent potential harm
or damage.
. Do not use the HomeLink
®Wire-
less Control System with a gar-
age door opener that lacks the
safety stop and reverse feature
as required by applicable safety
standards. A garage door opener
which cannot detect an object,
signaling the door to stop and
reverse, does not meet these
safety standards. Using a garage
door opener without these fea-
tures increases risk of serious
injury or death. For more infor-
mation, consult the HomeLink

garage door opener or other
device. Make sure that people

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 circuit
Operate 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-son
Check 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 condition
Under 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 system.
& Air conditioner compressor
shut-off when engine is
heavily loaded
To improve acceleration and gas mileage,
the air conditioner compressor is designed
to temporarily shut off during air condi-
tioner operation whenever the accelerator
is fully depressed such as during rapid
acceleration or when driving on a steepupgrade. & Refrigerant for your climate
control system
Your air conditioner uses ozone friendly
refrigerant HFC134a. Therefore, the meth-
od of adding, changing or checking the
refrigerant is different from the method for
CFC12 (freon). Consult your SUBARU
dealer for service. Repairs needed as a
result of using the wrong refrigerant are
not covered under warranty. Air filtration system
Your vehicle
’s air conditioning system is
equipped with an air filtration system.
Replace the air filter element according
to the replacement schedule shown in the
following table. This schedule should be
followed to maintain the filter ’sdust
collection ability. Under extremely dusty
conditions, the filter should be replaced
more frequently. Have your filter checked
or replaced by your SUBARU dealer. For
replacement, use only a genuine
SUBARU air filter kit.
Replacement schedule: Every 15 months or 15,000 miles (24,000
km) whichever comes first
CAUTION
Contact your SUBARU dealer if the
following occurs, even if it is not yet
time to change the filter. . Reduction of the airflow through
the vents.

Depending on the broadcasting area,
the digital signal may not be received in
an area where the analog signal can be
properly received, or the system fre-
quently switches the channels between
the digital and analog signals. How-
ever, this does not indicate a malfunc-
tion. If this frequent switching between
digital and analog causes annoyance,
set the radio to the analog mode (HD
Radio off mode) that provides the same
radio broadcasting quality as a con- ventional radio. !

example when traveling through different
reception areas. NOTE .
When you use Auto-store, the new
stations replace any stations pre-
viously stored.. Interrupting Auto-store: If you acci-
dentally press the Auto-store button,
you can cancel the Auto-store function
before it has been completed as fol-lows.

tons are not registered to a station. . For type A and C audio, the pre-
viously registered station memories of
the unused preset buttons are cleared. . For type B audio, the previously
registered station memories of the
unused preset buttons are not cleared. . If no stations can be received, the
previously stored stations are not re- placed. . After pressing the Auto-store but-
ton, if more than 1 station is stored, the
radio receives the station stored in
preset 1. . After pressing the Auto-store but-
ton, if no stations are stored, the radio

radio received before pressing thebutton. Satellite radio operation (if equipped)
To receive satellite radio, it is necessary to
install the SUBARU genuine satellite
receiver for some models, and to enter
into a contract with a satellite radio
network service such as
“Sirius XM
TM
satellite radio ”(for U.S.A. only). For de-
tails, please contact your SUBARU dealer. & Sirius XM
TMSatellite Radio
Activation (for U.S.A. only)
Models with Sirius XM
TMare eligible for a
3-month complimentary subscription to
the Sirius XM
TMSatellite Radio service.
! Activation process
If you would like to activate your Satellite
Radio online, please visit
http://www.sir-iusxm.com/activationhelp and follow the
step-by-step instructions for easy activa- tion. & Satellite radio reception
Satellite radio signals are best received in
areas with a clear view of the open sky. In
areas where there are tall buildings, trees,
tunnels or other structures that may
obstruct the signal of the satellites, there
may be signal interruptions. Other circum- stances that may result in signal loss
include driving near a wall, steep cliff, hill
or driving on the lower level of a multi-
tiered road or inside of a parking garage.
To help reduce this condition, satellite
radio providers have installed ground-
based repeaters in heavily populated
areas. However, you may still experience
reception problems in some areas. !
Sirius XM
TMsatellite radio reception
tips (for U.S.A. only —if equipped)
The Sirius XM
TMsatellite radio receiver
that is fitted to your vehicle receives the
necessary signals from two specially
designated satellites that are in a geosta-
tionary orbit over the equator. One satellite
covers the east coast and the other covers
the west coast. Both of them direct their
signals north. These signals are then
relayed throughout the radio reception
area by a network of ground repeater
stations. The satellite radio signals are
transmitted as “line of sight ”signals. The
line of sight signals can be blocked by
objects such as buildings, but the network
of repeater stations allows signal cover-
age within urban areas such as cities.
You may experience problems in receiving
Sirius XM
TMsatellite radio signals in the
following situations. Audio
