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

CAUTION
Do not pick up a bottle from the
bottle holder or put a bottle in the
holder while you are driving, as
this may distract you and lead to
an accident.
When placing a beverage in a
bottle holder, make sure it is
capped. Otherwise, the beverage
could spill when opening/closing
the door or while driving and, if
the beverage is hot, it could scald
you and/or your passengers...
Use windshield washer fluid. If windshield
washer fluid is unavailable, use clean
water.
In areas where water freezes in winter, use
an anti-freeze type windshield washer
fluid.
If you fill the reservoir tank with a fluid with
a different concentration from the one
used previously, purge the old fluid from
the piping between the reservoir tank and
washer nozzles by operating the washer
for a certain period of time...
