& Cleaning ventilation grille
S04AD01
1 Front ventilation inlet grille
Always keep the front ventilation inlet grille free of snow , leaves , or other obstructions to ensure efficient heating and defrosting . Since the condenser is located in front of the radiator , this area should be kept clean because cooling performance is impaired by any accumulation of insects and leaves on the condenser .

& Efficient cooling after parking in direct sunlight
S04AD02
After parking in direct sunlight , drive with the windows open for a few minutes to allow outside air to circulate into the heated interior . This results in quicker cooling by the air conditioner . Keep the windows closed during the operation of the air conditioner for maximum cooling efficiency .
& Lubrication oil circulation in the refrigerant circuit
S04AD03
Operate the air conditioner compressor at a low engine speed ( at idle or low driving speeds ) a few minutes each month during the off-season to circulate its oil .
& Checking air conditioning system before summer season
S04AD04
Check the air conditioner unit for refrigerant leaks , hose conditions , and proper operation each spring . Have the air conditioning system checked by your SUBARU dealer .
