Automatic climate control system (if
equipped)
Although this climate control system can be used as a
full-automatic climate control system, it can also, if de-
sired, be used as a semi-automatic climate control system.
When it is used as a full-automatic climate control sys-
tem, the outlet air temperature, fan speed, air flow dis-
tribution, air inlet control, and air conditioner compres-
sor operation are all automatically controlled to main-
tain a constant, comfortable temperature inside the vehicle.
NOTE yOperate the automatic climate control system
when the engine is running. y When the engine coolant is cold, the blower
does not run.y In the “AUTO” mode, when the air temperature
in the passenger compartment is sufficiently cool,
the air conditioner compressor does not operate.
For efficient defogging or dehumidifying in cold
weather, press the “A/C” button to operate the air
conditioner compressor. y Even when cooling is not necessary, setting the
temperature much lower than the current outlet air temperature turns on the air conditioner compres-
sor automatically and the “A/C” indicator light on
the control panel comes on. „

Maintenance and service
Main fuse
Main fuse box
The main fuses are designed to melt during an over-
load to prevent damage to the wiring harness and
electrical equipment. Check the main fuses if any elec-
trical component fails to operate (except the starter
motor) and other fuses are good. A melted main fuse
must be replaced. Use only replacements with the
same specified rating as the melted main fuse. If a
main fuse blows after it is replaced, have the electrical
system checked by your nearest SUBARU dealer.Installation of accessories
Always consult your SUBARU dealer before installing
fog lights or any other electrical equipment in your ve-
hicle. Such accessories may cause the electronic sys-
tem to malfunction if they are incorrectly installed or if
they are not suited for the vehicle.

Headlights (U.S.-spec. WRX-STi)
High-intensity-discharge (HID) bulbs are used
for the low beams of the headlights on the U.S.-
spec. WRX-STi. These HID bulbs use an ex-
tremely high voltage. To avoid the risk of an
electric shock and resulting serious injury, you
should not attempt to replace them. Neither
should you attempt to replace the high-beam
bulbs, remove/refit the headlight assemblies,
or remove any headlight-assembly compo-
nents. For replacement of the headlight bulbs
(low-beam and high-beam), removal and instal-
lation of the headlight assemblies, and removal
of headlight-assembly components, contact
your SUBARU dealer.
