outside mirrors have been cleared and the
windshield wiper blade rubbers have been
deiced completely before that time, press
the control switch to turn them off. If
defrosting, defogging or deicing is not
complete, you have to press the control
switch to turn them on again.
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, you can
change the setting using the multi-function
display (color LCD). For details, refer to
“Defogger setting”F3-61.
If the battery voltage drops below the
permissible level, continuous operation of
the defogger and deicer system is can-
celed and the system stops operating.
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 onthe 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.

a small amount of air may flow from the
foot outlets when ventilation mode is
displayed.
.If you operate any of the buttons on
the control panel other than the“OFF”
button, rear window defogger button
and temperature control dial(s) during
FULL AUTO mode operation, the
“FULL”indicator on the control panel
will turn off and the“AUTO”indicator

selection button.
ON position (recirculation):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.
OFF position (outside air):Outside air is
drawn into the passenger compartment.
Press the air inlet selection button to the
OFF position when the interior has cooledto a comfortable temperature 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.NOTEWhen the battery is disconnected or the
battery voltage drops, the air inlet
selection operation indicator light may
blink. This does not indicate a malfunc-
tion. However, if the indicator light
blinks every time you start the engine,
a malfunction may occur in the elec-
trical circuit. Have the vehicle in-
spected at the nearest SUBARU dealer.

(Variable Bit Rate (VBR) compatible)
.MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3), WMA
(Windows Media Audio) and AAC (Ad-
vanced Audio Coding) are audio compres-
sion standards.
.This system can play MP3/WMA/AAC
files on CD-R, CD-RW discs, USB mem-
ory, and Bluetooth device.
.This system can play disc recordings
compatible with ISO 9660 level 1 and level
2 and with the Romeo and Joliet file
system.
.When naming an MP3/WMA/AAC file,
add an appropriate file extension (.mp3/
.wma/.m4a).
.This system plays back files with .mp3/
.wma/.m4a file extensions as MP3/WMA/
AAC files respectively. To prevent noiseand playback errors, use the appropriate
file extension.
.This system can play only the first
session when using multi-session compa-
tible CDs.
.MP3 files are compatible with the ID3
Tag Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1, Ver. 2.2 and Ver. 2.3
formats. This system cannot display disc
title, track title and artist name in other
formats.
.WMA/AAC files can contain a WMA/
AAC tag that is used in the same way as an
ID3 tag. WMA/AAC tags carry information
such as track title and artist name.
.The emphasis function is available only
when playing MP3/WMA files recorded at
32, 44.1 and 48 kHz.
.This system can play back AAC files
encoded by iTunes.
.The sound quality of MP3/WMA files
generally improves with higher bit rates. In
order to achieve a reasonable level of
sound quality, discs recorded with a bit rate
of at least 128 kbps are recommended.
.The MP3/WMA player does not play
back MP3/WMA files from discs recorded
using packet write data transfer (UDF
format). Discs should be recorded using
“pre-mastering”software rather than pack-
etwrite software.
.M3u playlists are not compatible with

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.)
