shut-off when engine is
heavily loaded
To improve acceleration and gas mileage,
the air conditioner compressor is designed
to temporarily shut off during air condi-
tioner operation whenever the accelerator
is fully depressed such as during rapid
acceleration or when driving on a steep
upgrade.
& Refrigerant for your climate
control system
Your air conditioner uses ozone friendly
refrigerant HFC134a. Therefore, the meth-
od of adding, changing or checking the
refrigerant is different from the method for
CFC12 (freon). Consult your SUBARU
dealer for service. Repairs needed as a
result of using the wrong refrigerant are
not covered under warranty.
Air filtration system
Replace the filter element according to the
replacement schedule shown in the fol-
lowing. This schedule should be followed
to maintain the filter's dust collection
ability. Under extremely dusty conditions,
the filter should be replaced more fre-
quently. It is recommended that you have
your filter checked or replaced by your
SUBARU dealer. For replacement, we
recommend the use of a genuine
SUBARU air filter kit.
Replacement schedule:
Every 15 months or 15,000 miles (24,000
km) whichever comes first
