outside mirrors have been cleared and the
windshield blade rubbers have been
deiced completely before that time, press
the control switch to turn them off.
For climate control system (type B and
C),it is possible for the defogger and
deicer system to be set to continuous
operation mode by a SUBARU dealer.
Consult your SUBARU dealer for details.
Also, for models with a combination meter
display (color LCD), it is possible to set the
defogger and deicer system for the con-
tinuous operation mode. For details, refer
to“Vehicle Setting”F3-41.
CAUTION
.To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not operate the
defogger and deicer system con-
tinuously for any longer than
necessary.
.Do not use sharp instruments or
window cleaner containing abra-
sives to clean the inner surface of
the rear window. They may da-
mage the conductors printed on
the window.
NOTE.Turn on the defogger and deicer
system if the wipers are frozen to the
windshield.
.If the windshield is covered with
snow, remove the snow so that the
windshield wiper deicer works effec-
tively.
.While the defogger and deicer sys-
tem is in the continuous operation
mode:
–If the vehicle speed remains at 9
mph (15 km/h) or lower for 15
minutes, the windshield wiper dei-
cer system automatically stops op-
erating. However, the rear window
defogger system and outside mirror
defogger system maintain continu-
ous operation in this condition.
–If the vehicle battery voltage
drops below the permissible level,
continuous operation of the defog-
ger system and deicer system is
canceled and the system stops
operating.
Tilt/telescopic steering wheel
WARNING
.Do not adjust the steering wheel
tilt/telescopic position while driv-
ing. This may cause loss of
vehicle control and result in per-
sonal injury.
.If the lever cannot be raised to the
fixed position, adjust the steering
wheel again. It is dangerous to
drive without locking the steering
wheel. This may cause loss of
vehicle control and result in per-
sonal injury.

WARNING
.The cooling function operates
only when the engine is running.
.Do not leave children or adults
who would normally require the
support of others alone in your
vehicle. Pets should not be left
alone either. On hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle
could quickly become high en-
ough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or ani-
mals.

Automatic climate control
operation (type B and C)When this mode is selected, the fan speed,
airflow distribution, air-inlet control, and air
conditioner compressor operation are
automatically controlled. To activate this
mode, perform the following.
1. Press the AUTO button. The indicator
light“FULL AUTO”on the multi-function
display (color LCD) illuminates.
2. Set the preferred temperature using
the temperature control dial.NOTE.Operate the automatic climate con-
trol system when the engine is running.
.Even when cooling is not necessary,
the air conditioner compressor will
automatically turn on if the temperature
is set much lower than the current
outlet air temperature. Even in this
case, the“A/C”indicator light on the
control panel illuminates.
.The controllable temperature range
may vary depending on the regional
specifications of the vehicle.
.If you operate any of the buttons on
the control panel other than the ON/
OFF button, rear window defogger
button, SYNC button and temperature
control dial(s) during FULL AUTO modeoperation, the“FULL”indicator light on
the multi-function display (color LCD)
will turn off and the“AUTO”indicator
light will remain illuminated. You can
then manually control the system as
desired using the button you operated.
To change the system back to the FULL
AUTO mode, press the AUTO button.
To turn off the climate control system,
press the ON/OFF button. Then the air
inlet selection will be set to the following.
.When the air inlet selection is set to
auto mode: Outside air circulation
.When the air inlet selection is set to
manual mode: No change
&SensorsThe sensors are located as follows.1) Interior air temperature sensor
2) Solar sensorThe automatic climate control system
employs several sensors. These sensors

are delicate. If they are not treated properly
and become damaged, the system may
not be able to control the interior tempera-
ture correctly. To avoid damaging the
sensors, observe the following precau-
tions.
.Do not subject the sensors to impact.
.Keep water away from the sensors.
.Do not cover the sensors.
