Maintenance and service/Cooling system
contained in the engine coolant
may damage the paint surface.
& Cooling fan, hose and con-
nections
Your vehicle employs an electric cooling
fan which is thermostatically controlled to
operate when the engine coolant reaches
a specific temperature.
If the radiator cooling fan does not operate
even when the coolant temperature high
warning light blinks or illuminates in RED,
the cooling fan circuit may be defective.
Refer to Coolant temperature low indica-
tor light/Coolant temperature high warning
light F3-19.
Check the fuse and replace it if necessary.
Refer to Fuses F11-48 and Fuse panel
located in the engine compartment F12-
16.
If the fuse is not blown, we recommend
that you have the cooling system checked
by your SUBARU dealer.
If frequent addition of coolant is neces-
sary, there may be a leak in the engine
cooling system. It is recommended that
the cooling system and connections be
checked for leaks, damage, or looseness.
