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:
After the deployment, the SRS side airbag
immediately starts to deflate. The time
required from detection of an impact to
deflation of an SRS side airbag after
deployment is shorter than the blink of an
eye.
The SRS curtain airbag remains inflated for a while following deployment then
slowly deflates...

Use a good quality polish and wax and
apply them according to the manufacturer’s
