Always keep the front ventilator inlet grille free of snow, leaves, or other
obstructions to ensure efficient heating and defrosting. Since the con-
denser is located in front of the radiator, this area should be kept clean
because cooling performance is impaired by any accumulation of in-
sects and leaves on the condenser.
J Efficient cooling after parking in direct sunlight
After parking in direct sunlight, drive with the windows open for a few
minutes to allow outside air to circulate into the heated interior. This re-
sults in quicker cooling by the air conditioner. Keep the windows closed
during the operation of the air conditioner for maximum cooling efficien-
cy.
J 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.
J Checking air conditioning system before summer season
Check the air conditioner unit for refrigerant leaks, hose conditions, and
proper operation each spring. This check is best performed by your
SUBARU dealer.
