Subaru Forester: Automatic climate control operation / Sensors
The sensors are located as follows.

- Interior air temperature sensor
- Solar sensor
The automatic climate control system
employs several sensors. These sensors
are delicate. If they are not treated properly
and become damaged, the system may
not be able to control the interior temperature
correctly. To avoid damaging the
sensors, observe the following precautions.
- Do not subject the sensors to impact.
- Keep water away from the sensors.
- Do not cover the sensors.
The automatic climate control can be
customized on the multi-function display
(color LCD).
Refer to “Setting screen” for
setting methods...
Other information:
Several of the warning and indicator lights
illuminate when the ignition switch is
initially turned to the “ON” position. This
permits checking the operation of the
bulbs.
Apply the parking brake and turn the
ignition switch to the “ON” position...
Check on a daily basis that the tires
are free from serious damage,
nails, and stones. At the same time,
check the tires for abnormal wear.
Contact your SUBARU dealer immediately
if you find any problems.
NOTE
When the wheels and tires
strike curbs or are subjected to
harsh treatment as when the
vehicle is driven on a rough
surface, they can suffer damage
that cannot be seen with the
naked eye...
