Hi there just been my 2nd day in my 99 type r and there is a button by the i/c spray and im not sure what it does !!!
Its a factory fitted button with A/P and a fan symbol.
Anybody got any ideas. Its in the on position and dont want to turn it off untill im sure !
thanks in advance.

 

Come on lads there must be someone whp knows the answer. It has a light on it that was pulsing on and off today !!!!!! please hellpp

 

Strange thought the buttons were IC spray manual, IC spray auto, rear fog?

Take a pic and post it

 

hi there it definately looks factory fitted....

 

It COULD stand for Auto Pilot... press it and a big inflatable driver appears and takes full control of the car similar to the Airplane Movies.... but i doubt it

Not seen it before myself...

 

would be a good trick on long journeys or traffic..
Yeah i have not come across it before and upon doing a search could only find one other thread on another site but still no conclusion. There is one theory that its air purifier but think its just a stab in the dark.........

 

hello wraggy78, well that is weird??? ive never seen this button before... push it!! just try it out... just have a play and let us know!

 

When i got the car it was allready pushed in.. I have turned it of and on now there is a light that sometimes pulses but today was on constant.
Im thinking now that it may not be a factory fitted button its doing my head in..lol..
it does not do anything with any of the fans ! it just dont seem to do anything...
I think the next stage is to trace the wiring.. i think that is the only way around it
thanks for the input guys. and ill update any findings !

 

i had that button on my type r! could not work out what it did so i turned it into antilag button

 

looks like a dealer extra mabye, have u tried ringing a subaru dealership to see if they can find out what it may be as at least 2 of you had this fitted to your cars.....

.....mabye, you never know

 

It hasnt got a heated demister fan at the rear window has it? Some legacys have.

 

auxilary power???

 

an override to turn the rad fans on constantly?

That was my original thought but it does not do anything to the fans !!!
Cheers for the input guys will come to a conclusion one day

 

i got that on my hawkeye in spain,
its put the fan on secondary spin up, ie if towing, do you have a tow bar or did it, my fan has two stage,
as for ap not sure, also saw a B4 with one, he had a caravan, that help mate
let me know you cant see know difference, but fan will just stay on sndary speed

 

i can confirm its an extra, for hot climates or ppl towing,
i just got an email from subaru in spain, saying its an Anti Purculation Fan???
