Climate Control

I think it's normal in the sense that the 'auto' part of it tries to use some algorithm based on outside/inside airtemp difference and sun loading (there's a photodetector by the defroster vent). When the outside air gets cooler (maybe only a few degrees warmer than inside) later this summer, you will see it go to 'vent' automatically. If its bothersome (dry eyes on long trips for example)you can overide manually.

Well, I'm certainly as confused with the manual (in a few places) as you are. Perhaps they mean that cerc/verssus recirc is automatically selected OR deselected when auto is engaged. That is YOU don't have to worry about it , the SYSTEM will decide for you - based on all its inputs and programming.

Now, my manual claims there is 'something' in the instrumetn cluster that tells you the gas flap is on the right hand side - I don't NEED that thing BUT it bugs me I can't FIND it!

D> Carl,

Look just above the clock and below the center of the tachometer where the needle revolves.

That's where it is on my '01 VDC.

It just says "Fuel Door" with an arrow pointing to the side. My '00 Legacy GT and '03 Forester XSP both have it, although I can't remember the exact location (either above the odometer, or on the tach gauge)

DOH! It's huge - I'm stoopid. Guess I was looking for something small resembling the figure in the manual. thanx
