Rear Air Conditioner (If Equipped); Temperature Sensors - Subaru 2007 B9 Tribeca Owner's Manual

Rear air conditioner (if
equipped)
The rear air conditioner blows cool air out
of the rear ventilators while the "A/C" but-
ton on the control panel is in the "ON" po-
sition. The fan speed of the rear air condi-
tioner can be adjusted using the rear air
conditioner dial behind the center console.
The fan speed can be adjusted in four
steps by turning the dial. Turn the dial to
the "OFF" position to stop the fan.
NOTE
When the "A/C" button is in the
"OFF" position and when the "A/C" in-
dicator is not illuminated during AUTO-
mode operation, the air conditioner
compressor does not operate, mean-
ing that the system merely blows un-
cooled air out of the ventilators.
The outlet air temperature of the rear
air conditioner cannot be adjusted.
The rear air conditioner cannot be
used as a heater.

1) Interior air temperature sensor
2) Solar sensor
The automatic climate control system em-
ploys several sensors. These sensors are
delicate. If they are treated incorrectly and
become damaged, the system may not be
able to control the interior temperature
correctly. To avoid damaging the sensors,
observe the following precautions:
– Do not subject the sensors to impact.
– Keep water away from the sensors.
– Do not cover the sensors.
The sensors are located as follows:
– Solar sensor: beside windshield de-
froster grille
– Interior air temperature sensor: on the
side of the driver-side part of the center
panel
– Outside temperature sensor: behind
front grille
