Subaru Crosstrek Owners Manual: Air inlet selection

Select the air inlet by pressing the air inlet selection button.

ON position (recirculation): Interior air is recirculated inside the vehicle. Press the air inlet selection button to the ON position for fast cooling with the air conditioner or when driving on a dusty road.

OFF position (outside air): Outside air is drawn into the passenger compartment.

Press the air inlet selection button to the OFF position when the interior has cooled to a comfortable temperature and the road is no longer dusty.

WARNING

Continued operation in the ON position may fog up the windows. Switch to the OFF position as soon as the outside conditions are no longer dusty.

NOTE

When the indicator light on the air inlet selection button is flashing at engine starting, a malfunction might be occurring in the electrical system.

Contact your SUBARU dealer for inspection.

The indicator light on the air inlet selection button may flash in the following cases. However, this does not indicate a malfunction.

• After the vehicle battery has been disconnected and reconnected.
• When the vehicle battery voltage is low.
