Maintenance requirements
■Repair and replacement
It is recommended that genuine SUBARU parts be used for repair to ensure
performance of each system. If non-SUBARU parts are used in replacement
or if a repair shop other than a SUBARU dealer performs repairs, warranty
coverage may be affected. To ensure safe and economical driving, day-to-day care and regular
maintenance is essential. It is the owner’s responsibility to perform
regular checks. SUBARU recommends the following maintenance.
■ General maintenance
Should be performed on a daily basis. This can be done by your-
self or by a SUBARU dealer.
■ Scheduled maintenance
Should be performed at specified intervals according to the
maintenance schedule.
For details about maintenance items and schedules, refer to the “War-
ranty and Maintenance Booklet” (except for Canada) or “Warranty and
Service Booklet” (for Canada).
■Do-it-yourself maintenance
You can perform some maintenance procedures yourself.
Please be aware that do-it-yourself maintenance may affect war-
ranty coverage.
The use of SUBARU Service Manuals is recommended.
For details about warranty coverage, see the separate “Warranty and
Maintenance Booklet” (except for Canada) or “Warranty and Service
Booklet” (for Canada).

Checking interval
Inspect and replace the air conditioning filter according to the maintenance
schedule. In dusty areas or areas with heavy traffic flow, early replacement
may be required. (For scheduled maintenance information, please refer to
the “Warranty and Maintenance Booklet” [except for Canada] or “Warranty
and Service Booklet” [for Canada].)
■ If air flow from the vents decreases dramatically
The filter may be clogged. Check the filter and replace if necessary.
CAUTION
■When removing the glove box
Do not forcibly pull the glove box. Otherwise, the lower claws or the lower
claw engagement points may be deformed, making it difficult to reinstall or
close the glove box.
■ When using the air conditioning system
Make sure that a filter is always installed.
Using the air conditioning system without a filter may cause damage to the
system.
