!Outside mirror defogger
The outside mirror defogger shares the
control switch with the rear window de-
fogger. Therefore, the outside mirror de-
fogger always operates with the rear
window defogger.
If the rear window defogger is set to the
continuous operation mode, the outside
mirror defogger also follows the contin-
uous setting.
For details, refer to “Rear window defog-
ger button ”F 3-37.
CAUTION
To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not operate the de-
fogger continuously for any longer than necessary.
! Power folding mirror switch (ifequipped)
1) Power folding mirror switch
The power folding mirror switch operates
only when the ignition switch is in the “ON ”
or “Acc ”position.
To fold the outside mirrors, push the power
folding mirror switch. To unfold the mirrors,
push the switch again.
NOTE . When the temperature is low, the
outside mirrors may stop during opera-
tion. Push the switch again. When the
outside mirrors do not work by switch
operation, move them several times manually. This makes it possible to
operate them by switch operation..
When you operate the power folding
mirror switch continuously, it may
temporarily stop working. This is not
a malfunction. Operate it again after
waiting for a short period of time.. When you unfold the outside mirrors
manually, the mirrors may become
unstable. Be sure to unfold the mirrors
by switch operation. If the outside
mirrors are still unstable, fold the
mirrors again manually and then unfold
them by switch operation. Instruments and controls

to the OFF position as soon as the
outside dusty condition clears.
NOTE
When driving on a dusty road or behind
a vehicle that emits unpleasant exhaust
gases, set the air inlet selection button
to the ON position.
From time to time, return the air inlet
selection button to the OFF position to
draw outside air into the passengercompartment. &
Rear air conditioner
The rear air conditioner blows cool air out
of the rear ventilators while the “A/C ”
button on the control panel is in the “ON ”
position. The fan speed of the rear air
conditioner can be adjusted using the rear
air conditioner dial behind the center
console. The fan speed can be adjusted
in four steps by turning the dial. Turn the
dial to the “OFF ”position to stop the fan.
NOTE . When the “A/C ”button is in the
“ OFF ”position and when the “A/C ”
indicator is not illuminated during
AUTO mode operation, the air condi-
tioner compressor does not operate,
meaning that the system merely blows
uncooled air out of the ventilators. .
The outlet air temperature of the rear
air conditioner cannot be adjusted.. The rear air conditioner cannot be
used as a heater. & Temperature sensors
1) Interior air temperature sensor
2) Solar sensor
The 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. Climate control

please contact your SUBARU dealer. ! Sirius satellite radio (for Canada only)
Sirius satellite radio is a recent innovation
that allows the listener to experience
digital sound quality and to have a greater
variety of channels.

! Sirius XM
TMSatellite Radio Activa-
tion (for U.S.A. only)
Models with Sirius XM
TMare eligible for a
3-month complimentary subscription to
the Sirius XM
TMSatellite Radio service.
Activation process:
You can activate the XM Satellite Radio
from the website of the XM Satellite Radio.
For details, visit the website. ! Satellite radio reception
Satellite radio signals are best received in
areas with a clear view of the open sky. In
areas where there are tall buildings, trees,
tunnels or other structures that may
obstruct the signal of the satellites, there
may be signal interruptions. Other circum-
stances that may result in signal loss
include driving near a wall, steep cliff or
hill, or driving on the lower level of a multi-
tiered road or inside a parking garage.
To help reduce this condition, satellite
radio providers have installed ground-
based repeaters in heavily populated
areas. However, you may still experience
reception problems in some areas. ! Displaying satellite radio ID of tuner
When you activate satellite radio, you
should have your satellite radio tuner ID
ready because each tuner is identified by its unique satellite radio tuner ID.
The satellite radio ID will be needed when
you activate satellite radio and receive
satellite radio customer support.
The satellite radio ID can be found on the
