Subaru Outback (BR): Cleaning ventilator grille
Subaru Outback (BR) 2010-2015 Owners Manual / Climate control / Operating tips for heater and air conditioner / Cleaning ventilator grille
Always keep the front ventilator inlet grille free of snow, leaves, or other obstructions to ensure efficient heating and defrosting. Since the condenser is located in front of the radiator, this area should be kept clean because cooling performance is impaired by any accumulation of insects and leaves on the condenser.

Checking air conditioning system before summer season
Check the air conditioner unit for refrigerant leaks, hose conditions, and proper
