Subaru Forester: Climate control / Automatic climate control operation
When this mode is selected, the fan speed,
airflow distribution, air-inlet control, and air
conditioner compressor operation are
automatically controlled. To activate this
mode, perform the following.
NOTE
- Operate the automatic climate control
system when the engine is running.
- Even when cooling is not necessary,
the air conditioner compressor will
automatically turn on if the temperature
is set much lower than the current
outlet air temperature. Even in this
case, the “A/C” indicator light on the
control panel illuminates.
- The air conditioner may not operate
in the following cases:
- When the cabin temperature is
low.
- When the ambient temperature
decreases close to 328F (08C).
- The controllable temperature range
may vary depending on the regional
specifications of the vehicle.
Turn the airflow mode selection dial
and fan speed control dial to the “AUTO”
position.
