Subaru Crosstrek Owners Manual: Cooling and dehumidifying in high humidity and low temperature weather conditions

Air conditioner compressor shut-off when engine is heavily loaded
To improve acceleration and gas mileage, the air conditioner compressor is designed to temporarily shut off during air conditioner operation whenever the accelerator is fully depressed such as during rapid acceleration or when driving on a steep upgrade.
