the fan speed control dial or air flow
control dial to a position other than the
AUTO position. Then turn to the "AUTO"
mode. SUBARU recommends using the
AUTO position.
NOTE
The air conditioner's compressor does
not operate with an outside tempera-
ture of 08C (328F) or lower.
& 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 not treated
properly and become damaged, the sys-
tem may not be able to control the interior
temperature correctly. To avoid damaging
the sensors, observe the following pre-
cautions:
– 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 the windshield
defroster grille.
– Interior air temperature sensor: next to
the steering column.
– Outside temperature sensor: behind
the front grille.
