foot outlets and both side outlets of the
instrument panel (Refer to“Defrosting”

panel (Refer to“Defrosting”F4-9.)
NOTEWhen the“
”or“
”mode is se-
lected, the air conditioner compressor
operates automatically regardless of
the position of the air conditioner
button to defrost the windshield more
quickly. However the indicator on the
air conditioner button will not illumi-
nate. At the same time, the air inlet
selection is automatically set to the
outside air mode. After defrosting the
windshield by pressing the defroster
button“
”, pressing the button again
returns the system to the setting that
had been selected before the defroster
was activated.
&Temperature controlTurn the temperature control dial to set the
preferred interior temperature. With the
dial set to your preferred temperature, the
system automatically adjusts the tempera-
ture of air supplied from the outlets so that
the preferred temperature is achieved and
maintained.
If the dial is turned fully counterclockwise,
the system provides maximum cooling
performance. If the dial is turned fully
clockwise, the system provides maximumheating performance.
NOTEThe controllable temperature range
may vary depending on the regional
specifications of the vehicle.
!“DUAL”mode (type B)1) Driver’s side temperature
2) Front passenger’s side temperatureYou can change the setting of the driver’s
side and front passenger’s side tempera-
ture independently by selecting the
“DUAL”mode.
Perform either of the following procedures
to select the“DUAL”mode.
.Press the“DUAL”button

&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
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 up a steep
incline.
&Refrigerant for your climate
control system1) Air conditioner labelYour air conditioner uses ozone friendly
refrigerant HFC134a (as shown on the air
conditioner label). Therefore, the method
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 element ac-
cording to the replacement schedule found
in the“Warranty and Maintenance Book-
let”. 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.

&Tips for operating the audio/
visual system
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the audio/visual
system:
.Be careful not to spill beverages
over the audio/visual system.
.Do not put anything other than an
appropriate disc into the disc
slot.NOTEThe use of a cell phone inside or near
the vehicle may cause a noise from the
speakers of the audio/visual system
which you are listening to. However,
this does not indicate a malfunction.
!Radio
Usually, a problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with the
radio—it is just the normal result of
conditions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and terrain
can interfere with FM reception. Power
lines or phone wires can interfere with AM
signals. And of course, radio signals have
a limited range. The farther the vehicle isfrom a station, the weaker its signal will be.
In addition, reception conditions change
constantly as the vehicle moves.
Here, some common reception problems
that probably do not indicate a problem
with the radio are described.
!FM
Fading and drifting stations: Generally, the
effective range of FM is about 25 miles (40
km). Once outside this range, you may
notice fading and drifting, which increase
with the distance from the radio transmit-
ter. They are often accompanied by
distortion.
Multi-path: FM signals are reflective, mak-
ing it possible for 2 signals to reach the
vehicle’s antenna at the same time. If this
happens, the signals will cancel each other
out, causing a momentary flutter or loss of
reception.
Static and fluttering: These occur when
signals are blocked by buildings, trees or
other large objects. Increasing the bass
level may reduce static and fluttering.
Station swapping: If the FM signal being
listened to is interrupted or weakened, and
there is another strong station nearby on
the FM band, the radio may tune in the
second station until the original signal can
be picked up again.!AM
Fading: AM broadcasts are reflected by
the upper atmosphere—especially at
night. These reflected signals can interfere
with those received directly from the radio
station, causing the radio station to sound
alternately strong and weak.
Station interference: When a reflected
signal and a signal received directly from
a radio station are very nearly the same
frequency, they can interfere with each
other, making it difficult to hear the broad-
cast.
Static: AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high
tension power lines, lightening or electrical
motors. This results in static.
!SiriusXM (if equipped)
.Cargo loaded on the roof luggage
carrier, especially metal objects, may
adversely affect the reception of SiriusXM
Satellite Radio.
.Alternation or modifications carried out
without appropriate authorization may in-
validate the user’s right to operate the
equipment.

the audio device.
.MP3i (MP3 interactive) and MP3PRO
formats are not compatible with the audio
device.
.The player is compatible with VBR
(Variable Bit Rate).
.When playing back files recorded as
VBR (Variable Bit Rate) files, the play time
will not be correctly displayed if the fast
forward or reverse operations are used.
.It is not possible to check folders that do
not include MP3/WMA/AAC files.
.MP3/WMA/AAC files in folders up to 8
levels deep can be played. However, the
start of playback may be delayed when
using discs containing numerous levels of
folders. For this reason, we recommend
creating discs with no more than 2 levels of
folders.
.The play order of the compact disc with
the structure shown above is as follows:.The order changes depending on the
personal computer and MP3/WMA/AAC
encoding software you use.
!Terms
!Packet write
.This is a general term that describes the
process of writing data on-demand to CD-
R, etc., in the same way that data is written
to floppy or hard discs.!ID3 tag
.This is a method of embedding track-
related information in an MP3 file. This
embedded information can include the
track number, track title, the artist’s name,
the album title, the music genre, the year of
production, comments, cover art and other
data. The contents can be freely edited
using software with ID3 tag editing func-
tions. Although the tags are restricted to a
number of characters, the information can
be viewed when the track is played back.
!WMA tag
.WMA files can contain a WMA tag that
is used in the same way as an ID3 tag.
WMA tags carry information such as track
title and artist name.
!ISO 9660 format
.This is the international standard for the
formatting of CD-ROM folders and files.
For the ISO 9660 format, there are 2 levels
of regulations.
.Level 1: The file name is in 8.3 format (8
character file names, with a 3 character file
extension. File names must be composed
of one-byte capital letters and numbers.
The“_”symbol may also be included.)
