wheel is not operated for a while and
the power steering control system has
an opportunity to cool down. However,
if the power steering is operated in a
non-standard way which causes
power assist limitation to occur too
frequently, that may result in a mal-
function of the power steering control
system.■ TRAC OFF Indicator

warning light
NOTEIf the electrical circuit of the Vehicle
Stability Control (VSC) system itself
malfunctions, the warning light only
illuminates. At this time, the ABS (Anti-
lock Brake System) remains fully oper-
ational.
 The warning light illuminates when
the electronic control system of the
ABS/Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
system malfunctions.
The Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
system is probably inoperative under any
of the following conditions. Have your
vehicle checked at a SUBARU dealer
immediately.
 The warning light does not illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position.
 The warning light illuminates while the
vehicle is running.NOTEIf the warning light behavior is as
described in the following examples,
the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) sys-
tem may be considered normal.
 The warning light illuminates right
after the engine is started but turns off
immediately and remains off.
 The warning light illuminates after
the engine has started and turns off
CAUTION
The Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
system provides its ABS control
through the electrica l circuit of the
ABS. Accordingly, if the ABS is
inoperative, the Vehicle Stability
Control (VSC) system becomes
unable to provide ABS control. As a
result, the Vehicle Stability Control
(VSC) system becomes inoperative,
causing the warning light to illumi-
nate. Although both the Vehicle Sta-
bility Control (VSC) and ABS are
inoperative in this case, the ordi-
nary functions of the brake system
are still available. You will be safe
while driving in this condition, but
drive carefully and have your vehi-
cle checked at a SUBARU dealer as
soon as possible.

Wiper and Washer
184and to remove accumulations of road
salt or road film. Operate the wind-
shield washer for at least 1 second so
that washer solution will be sprinkled
all over the windshield or rear window.
 Grease, wax, insects, or other mate-
rial on the windshield or the wiper
blade results in jerky wiper operation
and streaking on the glass. If you
cannot remove the streaks after oper-
ating the windshield washer or if the
wiper operation is jerky, clean the
outer surface of the windshield using a
sponge or soft cloth with a neutral
detergent or mild-abrasive cleaner. Do
not, however, use detergent to clean
the blade rubbers. Use only a sponge
or soft cloth (and no neutral detergent
or mild abrasive cleaner) when you
clean the blade rubbers. If you wipe the
rubber of the blade strongly, the black
coating component will peel off, which
will cause the wiper to judder. Also,
after wiping it off, check that the rubber
has not come loose. After cleaning the
window glass and wiper blade rubbers,
be sure to rinse them with clean water.
Rinse the window un til the water does
not form beads on the glass. This indi-
cates that the glass is clean.
 If you cannot eliminate the streaking
even after followin g this procedure,
replace the wiper blades (or blade rubbers) with new ones. For replace-
ment instructions, refer to "Replace-
ment of Wiper Blades"
P367.
 If the wipers do not operate in the
following conditions, turn the wiper
switch to the “ ” position. - The wiper switch is in the “ ”
position, however, it does not work.
- The wiper switch is in the “ ”
position, however, it does not work.

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.
