In freezing weather, do not use the windshield washer until the wind- shield is sufficiently warmed by the defroster. Otherwise the washer fluid can freeze on the windshield, blocking your view.

(cid:121) Do not operate the washer contin- uously for more than ten seconds, or when the washer fluid tank is empty. This may cause overheat- ing of the washer motor. Check the washer fluid level frequently, such as at fuel stops.

(cid:121) Do not operate the wipers when the windshield or rear window is dry. This may scratch the glass, damage the wiper blades and cause the wiper motor to burn out. Before operating the wiper on a dry windshield or rear window, al- ways use the windshield washer.

(cid:121) In freezing weather, be sure that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windshield or rear window be- fore switching on the wipers. At- tempting to operate the wiper with the blades frozen to the window glass could cause not only the wiper blades to be damaged but also the wiper motor to burn out. If the wiper blades are frozen to the window glass, be sure to operate the defroster, wiper deicer (if equipped) or rear window defog- ger before turning on the wiper.

(cid:121) If the wipers stop during opera- tion because of ice or some other obstruction on the window, the wiper motor could burn out even if the wiper switch is turned off. If this occurs, promptly stop the ve- hicle in a safe place, turn the igni- tion switch to the “LOCK” posi- tion and clean the window glass to allow proper wiper operation.

(cid:121) Use clean water if windshield washer fluid is unavailable. In ar- eas where water freezes in winter, use SUBARU Windshield Washer Fluid or (See “Windshield washer fluid” section in chapter 11.) Also, when driving the vehicle when there are freezing tempera- tures, use non-freezing type wiper blades.

(cid:121) Do not clean the wiper blades with gasoline or a solvent, such as paint thinner or benzene. This will cause deterioration of the wiper blades.

NOTE (cid:121) The front wiper motor is protected against overloads by a circuit breaker. If the motor operates continuously un- der an unusually heavy load, the circuit breaker may trip to stop the motor tem- porarily. If this happens, park your ve- hicle in a safe place, turn off the wiper switch, and wait for approximately 10
minutes. The circuit breaker will reset itself, and the wipers will again operate normally. (cid:121) Clean your wiper blades and window glass periodically with a washer solu- tion to prevent streaking, and to re-

move accumulations of road salt or road film. Keep the washer button de- pressed at least for 1 second so that washer solution will be sprinkled all over the windshield or rear window. (cid:121) Grease, wax, insects or other materi- al on the windshield or the wiper blades results in jerky wiper operation and streaking on the glass. If you can- not remove those streaks after operat- ing the washer or if the wiper operation is jerky, clean the outer surface of the windshield or rear window and the wip- er blades using a sponge or soft cloth with a neutral detergent or mild-abra- sive cleaner. After cleaning, rinse the window glass and wiper blades with clean water. The glass is clean if no beads form on the glass when you rinse with water. (cid:121) If you cannot eliminate the streaking even after following this procedure, re- place the wiper blades with new ones. Refer to the “Replacement of wiper blades” section (chapter 11) for re- placement instructions.

low 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 con- ditioner for maximum cooling efficiency.

(cid:132) Lubrication oil circulation in

the refrigerant circuit

Operate 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.

(cid:132) Checking air conditioning

system before summer sea- son

Check the air conditioner unit for refriger- ant leaks, hose conditions, and proper op- eration each spring. Have your SUBARU dealer perform this check.

(cid:132) Cooling and dehumidifying in

high humidity and low tem- perature weather conditions Under 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

400518

Always 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 im- paired by any accumulation of insects and leaves on the condenser.

(cid:132) Efficient cooling after parking

in direct sunlight

After parking in direct sunlight, drive with the windows open for a few minutes to al-

any problem with the air conditioning sys- tem.

(cid:132) Air conditioner compressor

shut-off when engine is heavily loaded

To improve acceleration and gas mileage, the air conditioner compressor is de- signed to temporarily shut off during air conditioner operation whenever the accel- erator is fully depressed such as during rapid acceleration or when driving on a steep upgrade.

(cid:132) Refrigerant for your climate

control system

Your air conditioner uses ozone friendly refrigerant HFC134a. 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.

XMTM Satellite radio recep- tion (if equipped)

XMTM is a continental U.S. based satellite radio service that offers more than 160
coast to coast channels, including music, news, sports, talk and children’s program- ming. XMTM provides digital quality audio and text information, including song title and artist name. A service fee is required to receive the XMTM service. For more in- formation, contact XMTM at www.xmradio.com or call 1-800-XM-RA- DIO (1-800-967-2346). The XMTM satellite radio receiver that is fitted to your vehicle receives the neces- sary signals from two specially designated satellites that are in a geostationary orbit over the equator. One satellite covers the east coast and the other covers the west coast. Both of them direct their signals north. These signals are then relayed throughout the USA by a network of ground repeater stations. The satellite ra- dio signals are transmitted as “line of sight” signals. Line of sight signals can be blocked by objects such as buildings, but the network of repeater stations allows signal coverage within urban areas such as cities. You may experience problems in receiv-

The signal comes from the south and may not be able to reach the antenna in some circumstances when you are driving north.

(cid:121) If you are driving in a tunnel or a cov- ered parking area (cid:121) If you are driving beneath the top level of a multi-level freeway (cid:121) If you drive under a bridge (cid:121) If you are driving next to a tall vehicle (such as a truck or a bus) that blocks the signal (cid:121) If you are driving in a valley where the surrounding hills or peaks block the signal from the south (cid:121) If you are driving on a mountain road where the southern direction is blocked by mountains

(cid:121) If you are driving in an area with tall trees that block the signal (10 m or more), for example on a road that goes through a dense forest (cid:121) The signal can become weak in some areas that are not covered by the repeater station network.

Please note that these may be other un- foreseen circumstances when there are problems with the reception of XMTM sat- ellite radio signals.
