Sensors

The sensors are located as follows.

Front interior air temperature sensor

Solar sensor

Rear interior air temperature sensor

The automatic climate control system
employs several sensors. These sensors
are delicate. If they are not treated properly
and become damaged, the system may
not be able to control the interior tempera-
ture correctly. To avoid damaging the
sensors, observe the following precau-
tions.
.

Do not subject the sensors to impact.

Keep water away from the sensors.

Do not cover the sensors.

Do not touch the rear interior air

temperature sensor.

4-7. Operating tips for heater
and air conditioner

Cleaning ventilation grille

Front ventilation inlet grille

Always keep the front ventilation 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 accumulation of insects and leaves
on the condenser.

Efficient cooling after parking
in direct sunlight

After 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 effi-
ciency.

Lubrication oil circulation in
the refrigerant circuit

Operate 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 sea-
son

Check the air conditioner unit for refriger-
ant leaks, hose conditions, and proper
operation each spring. Have the air con-
ditioning system checked by your
SUBARU dealer.

Cooling and dehumidifying in
high humidity and low tem-
perature weather conditions

Under 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 loaded

To 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 on a steep
upgrade.

Refrigerant for your climate
control system

Your air conditioner uses ozone friendly
refrigerant HFO-1234yf. Therefore, the
method of adding, changing or checking
the refrigerant is different from the method
for CFC12 (freon) or HFC134a. Consult
your SUBARU dealer for service. Repairs
needed as a result of using the wrong
refrigerant are not covered under war-
ranty.

4-8. Air filtration system

Your 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 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.

NOTE

The filter can influence the air condi-
tioning, heating and defroster perfor-
mance if not properly maintained.

Replacing a cabin air filter

1. Remove the glove box.

NOTE

We recommend that you take measures
to protect the center console with
masking tape first, so that you avoid
scratching the center console with the
glove box.

(1) Open the glove box.

(2) Remove the damper shaft from the
glove box.

(3) Push in the stoppers located on
both sides of the glove box and then
pull down the glove box as far as it will
go.

(4) Pull out the glove box horizontally
and remove the hinge portion. When

doing this, be careful not to damage
the hinge.

2. Remove the cabin air filter according to
the following procedure in order to prevent
dust on the air cleaner from falling to the
inside of its housing.

(1) Pinch both tabs and remove the
filter cover.
(2) Gently tilt down the end of the filter
and slowly pull it out 0.4 in (1 cm).
(3) Slowly pull out the rest of the filter.

3. Replace the cabin air filter with a new
one and then reinstall the cover.

CAUTION

The arrow mark on the filter must
point UP.
