Only if the engine is running hot/under too much load and in danger of
overheating. I drive a 1999 Subaru Forester, and have had that happen
only when offroad this summer and climbing *really* steep hills.

I THINK my wife's Outback does - but maybe in ECONO mode only? The
manual is vague in that section.

The wife's 03 OBW has a button that cycles through off-A/C-ECONO (also -
if I hold it down for 3 or so seconds it alters the brightness of the
climate display lights at night).
My 06 WRX is different though.

Does the OBW have Climate Control?

Yes, a sensor to measure the air temp, a solar sensor on the dash over
on the right under the window. makes up it's own mind about turning the
fan on full AFTER it warms up a little in the winter (so you don't get a
blast of cold air up the pants I guess) swithches from recirculate to
'fresh' after the car cools down enough on warm days, etc. Of course,
you can overide any of these manually. Seems my wife is never happy with
the machine;s decisions while I rarely take it off 'auto'. Sometimes I
will change it if I get interior windshield fogging.

The system in my WRX is a little trickier to manually control. But I
rarely do so. Even on extremely hot days it works well (though i do have
decent tint on the windows.)

I know my 91 5spd 2.2 Liberty did but only on full throttle. Not sure with
our 99 O/B or more current range. Easy way to find out once it's broken in
though

Haven't figured out if I can rev the motor from under the hood, Can't
figure where much is yet((. Would be hard to tell if the AC cuts out
when accelerating, unless looking at the clutch, or if the AC dash
light goes off, but don't want to be looking at it while
accelerating.))
