OFF: The fan does not operate.

AUTO: The fan speed is adjusted automatically in accordance with the air temperature inside and outside the passenger compartment, the intensity of sunlight, and other factors. SUBARU recommends using the AUTO position.

Other positions: The fan speed can be adjusted in 7 steps.
