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.

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

The temperature will be controlled indivi-
dually using the driver’s and passenger’s
temperature control dials.&Fan speed controlSelect the preferred fan speed by turning
the fan speed control dial.&Air conditioner controlThe air conditioner operates only when the
engine is running.
Press the air conditioner button while the
fan is in operation to turn on the air
conditioner. When the air conditioner is
on, the“A/C”indicator light illuminates.
To turn off the air conditioner, press the
button again.NOTEFor efficient defogging or dehumidify-
ing in cold weather, turn on the air
conditioner. If the ambient temperature
decreases to approximately 328F(08C),
the air conditioner and dehumidifica-
tion system may not operate properly.
&Air inlet selectionSelect the air inlet by pressing the air inlet
selection button.
.Recirculation:
When the indicator light on the air inlet
selection button illuminates, interior air is
recirculated inside the vehicle. Press the
air inlet selection button to the ON position
for fast cooling with the air conditioner or
when driving on a dusty road.
.Outside air circulation:
When the indicator light on the air inlet
selection button does not illuminate, out-
side air is drawn into the passenger
compartment. Press the air inlet selection
buttontotheOFFpositionwhenthe
interior has cooled to a comfortable tem-
perature and the road is no longer dusty.
WARNING
Continued operation in the ON posi-
tion may fog up the windows. Switch
to the OFF position as soon as the
outside conditions are no longer
dusty.
&To turn off the climate control
systemTo turn off the climate control system:
.Type A: select the“OFF”position using

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 effi-
ciency.&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 indicateany problem with the air conditioning
system.
&Air conditioner compressor
shut-off when engine is
heavily loadedTo 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 steep
upgrade.&Refrigerant for your climate
control systemYour 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 systemYour vehicle’s air conditioning system is
equipped with an air filtration system.
Replace the cabin air filter according to
the replacement schedule found in the
“Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”. This
schedule should be followed to maintain
the filter’s dust 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.
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.
.Windshield gets easily fogged or
misted.NOTEThe filter can influence the air condi-
tioning, heating and defroster perfor-
mance if not properly maintained.

equipped)
CAUTION
Keep the vanity mirror cover closed
while the car is being driven to avoid
being distracted by the light.To use the vanity mirror, swing down the
sun visor and open the vanity mirror cover.
The light beside the vanity mirror illumi-
nates when the mirror cover is opened.NOTEUse of the vanity mirror light for a long
period of time while the engine is not
running can cause battery discharge.
Storage compartment
CAUTION
.Always keep the storage com-
partment closed while driving to
reduce the risk of injury in the
event of a sudden stop or an
accident.
.Do not store spray cans, contain-
ers with flammable or corrosive
liquids or any other dangerous
items in the storage compart-
ment.

.Use only electrical appliances
which are designed for 12V DC.
The maximum power rating of an
appliance that can be connected
is 120W. Do not use an appliance
which exceeds the indicated wat-
tage for each outlet.
.When using appliances con-
nected to two outlets simulta-
neously, the total power con-
sumed by them must not exceed
120W. Overloading the accessory
power outlet can cause a short
circuit. Do not use double adap-
ters or more than one electrical
appliance.
.If the plug on your electric appli-
ance is either too loose or too
tight for the accessory power
outlet, this can result in a poor
contact or cause the plug to get
stuck. Only use plugs that fit
properly.
.Use of an electric appliance in the
accessory power outlet for a long
period of time while the engine is
not running can cause battery
discharge.
.Before driving your vehicle, make
sure that the plug and the cord on
your electrical appliance will notinterfere with your shifting gears
and operating the accelerator
and brake pedals. If they do, do
not use the electrical appliance
while driving.
NOTEWhen the lid of the center console is
closed, an opening remains between
the center console and the lid to allow
the power outlet in the center console
to be used. Pass the cord of the
electrical appliance through this open-
ing.
&Use with a cigarette lighter
(dealer option)To use the accessory power outlet as a
cigarette lighter socket, purchase the
cigarette lighter plug, which is an optional
accessory. A cigarette lighter plug is
available from your SUBARU dealer.
The cigarette lighter operates only when
the ignition switch is in the“ON”or“ACC”
position.
To use the cigarette lighter, push in the
knob and wait a few moments. It will
automatically spring up when ready for
use.
WARNING
To avoid being burned, never grasp
the lighter by the end with the
heating element. Doing so could
result in injury and could also da-
mage the heating element.
CAUTION
.Do not hold the lighter pushed in,
because it will overheat.
.The electrical power socket is
originally designed to use a gen-
uine SUBARU cigarette lighter
plug. Do not use a non-genuine
