3-14. Wiper and Washer
NOTEThe windshield wiper motor is
protected against overloads by a
circuit breaker. If the motor operates
continuously under an unusually
heavy load, the circuit breaker may trip
to stop the motor temporarily. If this
happens, park your vehicle in a safe
location, turn off th e wiper switch, and
wait for approximately 10 minutes. The
circuit breaker will reset itself, and the
wipers will again operate normally.
 Clean your blade rubbers and
window glass periodically with a
washer solution to prevent streaking,
WARNING
In freezing weather, do not use the
windshield washer until the wind-
shield is sufficiently warmed by the
defroster.Otherwise the washer fluid can
freeze on the windshield, blocking
your view.
CAUTION
 Do not operate the washer contin-
uously for more than 10 seconds,
or when the washer fluid tank is
empty. This may cause over-
heating of the washer motor.
Check the washer fluid level
frequently, such as at fuel stops.Do not operate the wipers when
the windshield is dry. This may
scratch the glass, damage the
blade rubbers and cause the
wiper motor to bu rn out. Before
operating the wiper on a dry wind-
shield always use the windshield
washer.
 In freezing weather, be sure that
the blade rubbers are not frozen
to the windshield before
switching on the wipers.
Attempting to operate the wiper
with the blade rubbers frozen to
the window glass could cause not
only the blade rubbers to be
damaged but also might cause
the wiper motor to fail. If the blade
rubbers are frozen to the window
glass, be sure to operate the
defroster before turning on the
wiper. If the wipers stop during opera-
tion because of ice or some other
obstruction on the window, this
might cause the wiper motor to
fail even if the wiper switch is
turned off. If this occurs,
promptly stop the vehicle in a
safe location, turn the ignition
switch to the “OFF” position and
clean the window glass to allow
proper wiper operation.
Use clean water if windshield
washer fluid is unavailable. In
areas where water freezes in
winter, use SUBARU Windshield
Washer Fluid or the equivalent.
Refer to "Windshield Washer
Fluid" 
P366.
Also, when driving the vehicle
when there are freezing tempera-
tures, use non-freezing type
wiper blades.
 Do not clean the wiper blades
with gasoline or a solvent, such
as paint thinner or benzine. This
will cause deterioration of the
wiper blades.

■
Cooling and Dehumidifying
in High Humidity and Low
Temperature Weather Condi-
tion
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
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 System1) 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.

Starting and Operating7

7-1. Fuel■
Fuel Requirements
The engine is designed to operate using
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating
of 93 AKI (98 RON) or higher .
If unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating of 93 AKI (98 RON) is not available,
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of
91 AKI (95 RON) may be used with no
detriment to engine durability or
driveability.
However, you may notice a slight
decrease in maximum engine perfor-
mance and you may hear some knocking
(pinging) from the engine while using 91
AKI (95 RON) fuel. Use of 91 AKI (95 RON)
fuel will not affect your warranty
coverage.
▼
Fuel octane rating
Using a gasoline with a lower octane
rating can cause persistent and heavy
knocking, which can damage the engine.
Do not be concerned if your vehicle some-
times knocks lightly when you drive up a
hill or when you accelerate. See your
dealer or a qualified service technician if
you use a fuel with the specified octane
rating and your vehi cle knocks heavily or
persistently.
▽RON
This octane rating is the Research Octane
Number.
▽AKI
This octane rating is the average of the
Research Octane and Motor Octane
numbers and is commonly referred to as
the Anti Knock Index (AKI).
▼Unleaded gasoline
The neck of the fuel filler pipe is designed
to accept only an unleaded gasoline filler
nozzle. Under no circumstances should
leaded gasoline be used because it will
damage the emission control system and
may impair driveability and fuel economy. ▼
Reformulated gasoline
SUBARU supports the use of reformu-
lated gasoline when available. Reformu-
lated gasoline has been blended to burn
more cleanly and reduce vehicle emis-
sions.
▼MMT
Some gasoline contains an octane-
enhancing additive called MMT (Methylcy-
clopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl). If
you use such fuels, your emission control
system performance may deteriorate and
the CHECK ENGINE warning light/
malfunction indicator light may turn on. If
this happens, return to your authorized
SUBARU Dealer for service. If it is deter-
mined that the condition is caused by the
type of fuel used, repairs may not be
covered by your warranty.
▼Gasoline for cleaner air
Your use of gasoline with detergent addi-
tives will help prevent deposits from
forming in your engi ne and fuel system.
This helps keep your engine in tune and
your emission cont rol system working
properly, and is a way of doing your part
for cleaner air. If you continuously use a
high quality fuel with the proper detergent
and other additives, you should never
CAUTION
 Use of a fuel which is low in
quality or use of an inappropriate
fuel additive may cause damage
to the engine and/or fuel system.Some gas stations, particularly
those in high altitude areas, offer
fuels posted as regular octane
gasoline with an octane rating
below 93 AKI (98 RON). Use of
those fuels are not recom-
mended.

Cleaning the Interior
336If your SUBARU is to be parked for a long
time in bright sunlight, it is recommended
that the seats and headrests be covered,
or the windows shaded, to prevent fading
or shrinkage.
You will discover that each leather seat
section will develop soft folds or wrinkles,
which is characteristic of genuine leather.■
Synthetic Leather Upholstery
The synthetic leather material used on the
SUBARU may be cleaned using mild soap
or detergent and water, after first vacu-
uming or brushing away loose dirt. Allow
the soap to soak in for a few minutes and
wipe off with a clean, damp cloth.
Commercial foam-type cleaners suitable
for synthetic leather materials may be
used when necessary.
■
Instrument Panel, Console
Panel, Switches, Combina -
tion Meter, and Other Plastic
Surface
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the instru-
ment panel, center console, combination
meter panel, and switches.■
Center Information Display
To clean the center information display,
wipe it with a silicone cloth or with a soft
cloth. If the monitor is extremely dirty,
clean it with a soft cloth moistened with
neutral detergent then carefully wipe off
any remaining detergent.
CAUTION
Strong cleaning agents such as sol-
vents, paint thinners, window
cleaner or gasoline must never be
used on leather or synthetic interior
materials. Doing so could damage
the surface and cause the color to
deteriorate.
CAUTION
 Do not use organic solvents such
as paint thinners or gasoline, or
strong cleaning agents that
contain those solvents. Doing so
could damage the surface and
cause the color to deteriorate.Do not use chemical solvents that
contain silicone on the vehicle
audio system, electrical compo-
nents of the air-conditioner or
any switches. If silicone adheres
to these parts, it may cause
damage to electrical compo-
nents.
CAUTION
Do not spray neutral detergent
directly onto the monitor. Doing
so could damage the monitor’s
components.Do not wipe the monitor with a
hard cloth. Doing so could
scratch the monitor.Do not use cleaning fluid that
contains thinner, fuel, or any
other volatile substance. Such
cleaning fluid could erase the
lettering on the switches at the
bottom of the monitor.
