WARNING
The cooling function operates
only when the engine is running. Do not leave children or adults
who would normally require the
support of others alone in your
vehicle. Pets should not be left
alone either. On hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle
could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to people
or animals.

Automatic Climate Control Operation
2004-3. Automatic Climate Control OperationWhen this mode is selected, the fan
speed, airflow mode, air-inlet control, and
air conditioner operation are automatically
controlled. To activate this mode, perform
the following.
1. Press the AUTO button. The FULL
AUTO mode is selected and the “FULL
AUTO” indicator light on the display illumi-
nates.
2. Set the preferred temperature using
the temperature control dial.NOTE Operate the automatic climate
control system when the engine is
running.
Even when cooling is not necessary,
the air conditioner will automatically
turn on if the temperature is set much
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
mode operation, the “FULL” indicator
light on the control panel will turn off
and the “AUTO” indicator light will
remain illuminated. You can then
manually control the system as desired
using the button you operated. To
change the system back to the FULL
AUTO mode, press the AUTO button.
To turn off the climate control system,
press the ON/OFF button. Then the air
inlet selection will be set to the following.
When the air inlet selection is set to
auto mode: Outside air circulation
When the air inlet selection is set to
manual mode: No change
When the ignition switch is changed to the
“OFF” or “ACC” position from “ON”, the air
inlet mode will automatically change to the
outside air mode regardless of whether it
is the auto mode or manual mode.
■ Sensors1) Interior air temperature sensor
2) Solar sensorThe automatic climate control system
employs several sensors. These sensors
are delicate. If they are treated incorrectly

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.

instrument panel and some through wind-
shield defroster outlets (A small amount of
air flows to the windshield and both side
windows to prevent fogging.) Heat-def: Windshield defroster outlets,
foot outlets and both side outlets of the
instrument panel
■ Temperature ControlTurn the temperature control dial to set
the preferred interior temperature.NOTEThe controllable temperature range
may vary depending on the regional
specifications of the vehicle.
▼ MAX A/C mode
For quicker cooling, press the MAX A/C
button.
When the MAX A/C mode is on, the
following settings will be changed auto-
matically.
The air conditioner will turn on.
The temperature will be set on the
lowest.
The fan speed will be set on the
maximum speed.
The air inlet will be set to the recircula-
tion mode.
The airflow mode setting will be set to
the ventilation mode.
To turn off MAX A/C mode and return the
previous setting, press the MAX A/C
button again. ▼
SYNC mode
When the SYNC mode is turned on, both
the driver’s and front passenger’s side
temperatures are synchronized using the
driver’s side temperature control dial.
Press the SYNC button to turn on the
SYNC mode. The SYNC button indicator
will illuminate.
Press the SYNC button again or turn the
front passenger’s side temperature
control dial to cancel the SYNC mode.
The SYNC button indicator will not illumi-
nate. In this case, temperature control on
the driver’s side and front passenger’s
side is separated.
The temperature will be controlled individ-
ually using the driver’s and front
passenger’s temperature control dials.
■ Fan Speed ControlSelect the preferred fan speed by turning
the fan speed control dial.■ Air Conditioner ControlThe air conditioner operates only when
the engine is running.
Press the air conditioner button while the

To turn off the air conditioner, press the
button again. The indicator light will turn
off.NOTEFor efficient defogging or dehumidify-
ing in cold weather, turn on the air
conditioner. However, if the ambient
temperature decreases to approxi-
mately 32°F (0°C), the air conditioner
and dehumidification system may not
work properly.■ Air Inlet SelectionSelect the air inlet by pressing the air inlet
selection button.
Recirculation:
When the indicator light on the air inlet
selection button illuminates, interior air is
recirculated inside the vehicle. Press the
air inlet selection button to the ON position
in the following cases.
- When driving on a dusty road
- When you want cooling perfor-
mance to increase (for example, in
particularly hot weather)
Outside air circulation:
When the indicator light on the air inlet
selection button does not illuminate,
outside air is drawn into the passenger
compartment. Press the air inlet selection button to the OFF position in the following
cases.
- When the road is no longer dusty
- When the interior has cooled to a
comfortable temperature
NOTEWhen outside air circulation is
selected, the system may automati-
cally adjust the air inlet setting
depending on such factors as the tem-
perature setting, the temperature
inside the vehicle, or conditions out-
side the vehicle.■ To Turn Off the Climate
Control SystemTo turn off the clim ate control system,
press the ON/OFF button.
4-5. DefrostingSelect the “ ” or “ ” mode to defrost
or dehumidify the windshield and the side
door windows.NOTE When the “” or “” mode is
selected, the air conditioner operates
automatically regardless of the posi-
tion of the air conditioner button to
defrost the wi ndshield more quickly.
However, the indicator on the air condi-
tioner button may not illuminate. At the
same time, the air inlet selection is
automatically set to the outside air
circulation mode.
After defrosting the windshield by
pressing the defroster button “ ”,
pressing the button again returns the
WARNING
Continued operation in the recircu-
lation mode may fog up the win-
dows. Switch to the outside air
circulation mode as soon as the
outside dusty condition clears.

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.
