lower than the cu rrent outlet air
temperature. Even in this case, the “A/
C” indicator light on the control panel
illuminates
 The air conditioner may not operate
in the following cases: - When the cabin temperature is
low
- When the ambient temperature
decreases close to 32°F (0°C) 
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

Operating Tips for Heater and Air Conditioner
204system to the setting that had been
selected before the defroster was acti-
vated.
4-6. Operating Tips for Heater and Air Conditioner■ Cleaning Ventilator Grille1) Front ventilator inlet grille
2) CondenserAlways keep the front ventilator inlet grille
free of snow, leaves, or other obstructions
to ensure efficient heating and defrosting.
Since the condenser is located in front of
the radiator, this area should be kept
clean because cooling performance is
impaired by any accu mulation of insects
and leaves on the condenser.
■ Efficient Cooling after
Parking in Direct SunlightAfter parking in direct sunlight, drive with
the windows open for a few minutes to
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
efficiency.■ 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
SeasonCheck the air conditioner unit for refrig-
erant leaks, hose conditions, and proper
operation each spring. Have the air condi-
tioning system checked by your SUBARU
dealer.

Open it further by hand.
1) Open
2) Close4. Remove the fuel filler cap by turning it
slowly counterclockwise.
5. Set the fuel filler cap on the cap holder
inside the fuel filler lid.
WARNING
Before opening the fuel filler cap,
first touch the veh icle body or a
metal portion of the fuel pump or
similar object to discharge any
static electricity that may be present
on your body. If your body is carry-
ing an electrostatic charge, there is
a possibility that an electric spark
could ignite the fuel, which could
burn you. To avoid acquiring a new
static electric charge, do not get
back into the vehicle while refueling
is in progress.
WARNING
 Gasoline vapor is highly flam-
mable. Before refueling, always
turn the ignition switch to the
“OFF” position first and then
close all vehicle doors and
windows. Make sure that there
are no lighted cigarettes, open
flames or electrical sparks in the
adjacent area. Only handle fuel
outdoors. Quickly wipe up any
spilled fuel.

Fuel may be under pressure and
spray out of the fuel filler neck,
especially in hot weather. If you
hear a hissing sound while you
are removing the cap, wait for the
sound to stop and then slowly
open the cap to prevent fuel from
spraying out and creating a fire
hazard.
