&Cooling and dehumidifying in
high humidity and low tem-
perature weather conditionsUnder 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 loadedTo improve acceleration and gas mileage,
the air conditioner compressor is designed
to temporarily shut off during air condi-
tioner operation whenever the accelerator
is fully depressed such as during rapid
acceleration or when driving up a steep
incline.
&Refrigerant for your climate
control system1) Air conditioner labelYour air conditioner uses ozone friendly
refrigerant HFC134a (as shown on the air
conditioner label). Therefore, the method
of adding, changing or checking the
refrigerant is different from the method
for CFC12 (freon). Consult your SUBARU
dealer for service. Repairs needed as a
result of using the wrong refrigerant are not
covered under warranty.
Air filtration systemYour vehicle’s air conditioning system is
equipped with an air filtration system.
Replace the cabin air filter element ac-
cording to the replacement schedule found
in the“Warranty and Maintenance Book-
let”. This schedule should be followed to
maintain 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.
CAUTION
Contact your SUBARU dealer if the
following occurs, even if it is not yet
time to change the filter:
.Reduction of the airflow through
the vents.
.Windshield gets easily fogged or
misted.NOTEThe filter can influence the air condi-
tioning, heating and defroster perfor-
mance if not properly maintained.
