■Cooling and Dehumidifying
in High Humidity and Low
Te mperature Weather Condi -
tionUnder certain weather conditions (high
relative humidity, lo w 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 Whe n Engine Is
Heavily LoadedTo improve acceleration and gas mileage,
the air conditio ner compressor is
designed to temporarily shut off during air
conditioner operation whenever the accel-
erator is fully depressed such as during
rapid acceleration or when driving on a
steep upgrade.
■ Refrigerant for Your Climate
Control Syste m1) Air conditioner labelYour air conditioner uses ozone friendly
refrigerant R-1234yf (HFO-1234yf).
Before adding, changing or checking the
refrigerant, check the air conditioner label
in the location shown in the illustration to
confirm the type of refrigerant is used in
your vehicle.
Consult your SUBARU dealer for service.
Repairs needed as a result of using the
wrong refrigerant are not covered under
warranty.
4-7. 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 main-
tain 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.NOTEThe filter can influence the air condi-
tioning, heating and defroster perfor-
mance if not properly maintained.
