Automatic Climate Control System (If Equipped) - Subaru Legacy Outback 2006 Owner's Manual

Automatic climate control
system (if equipped)
NOTE
Operate the automatic climate con-
trol system when the engine is run-
ning.
When the engine coolant is cold, the
blower does not run.
In the "AUTO" mode, when the air
temperature in the passenger compart-
ment is sufficiently cool, the air condi-
tioner compressor does not operate.
For efficient defogging or dehumidify-
ing in cold weather, press the "A/C"
button to operate the air conditioner
compressor.
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" indica-
tor light on the control panel comes on.
The automatic climate control system au-
tomatically controls outlet air temperature,
fan speed, air flow distribution air-inlet
control, and air conditioner compressor
operation. It activates when the "AUTO"
button is pressed, and is used in conjunc-
tion with the Temperature control dial to
maintain a constant, comfortable climate
within the passenger compartment.
You can set any desired temperature with-
in the following range:
