Rear Air Conditioner; Temperature Sensors - Subaru 2011 Tribeca Owner's Manual

& Rear air conditioner
The rear air conditioner blows cool air out
of the rear ventilators while the "A/C"
button on the control panel is in the "ON"
position. The fan speed of the rear air
conditioner 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"
indicator is not illuminated during
AUTO mode operation, the air condi-
tioner compressor does not operate,
meaning that the system merely blows
uncooled 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.
& Temperature sensors
1) Interior air temperature sensor
2) Solar sensor
The automatic climate control system
employs several sensors. These sensors
are delicate. If they are treated incorrectly
and become damaged, the system may
not be able to control the interior tempera-
ture correctly. To avoid damaging the
sensors, observe the following precau-
tions.
– Do not subject the sensors to impact.
– Keep water away from the sensors.
Climate control
– Do not cover the sensors.
The sensors are located as follows.
– Solar sensor: beside windshield
defroster grille
– Interior air temperature sensor: on the
side of the driver-side part of the center
panel
– Outside temperature sensor: behind
front grille
