Cooling And Dehumidifying In High Humidity And Low Temperature Weather Condition; Air Conditioner Compressor Shut-Off When Engine Is Heavily Loaded; Refrigerant For Your Climate Control System - Subaru 1998 Legacy Owner's Manual

J Cooling and dehumidifying in high humidity and low temperature
weather condition
Under certain weather conditions (high relative humidity, low tempera-
tures, 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.
J Air conditioner compressor shut-off when engine is heavily
loaded
To improve acceleration and gas mileage, this air conditioner compres-
sor is designed to temporarily shut off during air conditioner operation
whenever the accelerator is fully depressed such as a rapid acceleration
or driving on a steep upgrade.
J Refrigerant for your climate control system
Your air conditioner is ozone friendly and uses the refrigerant HFC134a.
Therefore, the method of adding, changing or checking the refrigerant is
different from the method for CFC12 (freon). Consult your SUBARU deal-
er for service. Repairs needed as a result of using the wrong refrigerant
are not covered under warranty.
