warm-up until the engine coolant tem-
perature exceeds approximately 508C

& Temperature control dial
This dial is used to set the desired interior
temperature. With the dial set to your
desired temperature, the system automa-
tically adjusts the temperature of air
supplied from the outlets such that the
desired temperature is achieved and
maintained.
If the dial is turned fully counterclockwise,
the system gives maximum cooling per-
formance. If the dial is turned fully clock-
wise, the system gives maximum heating
performance.
NOTE
The controllable temperature range
that is indicated on the dial differs by
vehicle model. It is a range of 20 to
308C (68 to 868F) on some models, but
17 to 278C (63 to 818F) on other models.

each position are as follows:
AUTO: The air flow control is adjusted
automatically in accordance with the air
temperature inside and outside the pas-
senger compartment, the intensity of sun-
light, and other factors. SUBARU recom-
mends using the AUTO position.
