Subaru Forester: Climate control / Air filtration system

Your vehicle’s air conditioning system is equipped with an air filtration system. Replace the cabin air filter according to the replacement schedule found in the “Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”. This schedule should be followed to maintain the filter’s dust collection ability. Under extremely dusty conditions, the filter should be replaced more frequently. Have your filter checked or replaced by your SUBARU dealer. For replacement, use only a genuine SUBARU air filter kit.

CAUTION

Contact your SUBARU dealer if the following occurs, even if it is not yet time to change the filter:

  • Reduction of the airflow through the vents.
  • Windshield gets easily fogged or misted.

NOTE

The filter can influence the air conditioning, heating and defroster performance if not properly maintained.

  1. Remove the glove box.

    NOTE

    We recommend that you take measures to protect the center console with masking tape first, so that you avoid scratching the center console with the glove box.

    1. Open the glove box.
