The inside electronic compass mirror has an anti-glare
feature which automatically reduces glare coming
from headlights of vehicles behind you. It also con-
tains a built-in compass." By pressing and releasing the left button, the auto-
matic dimming function is toggled on or off. When the
automatic dimming function is on, the auto dimming in-
dicator light (green) located to the right of the button will illuminate. "

lower part of the mirror.
Even with the mirror in anti-glare mode, the mirror sur-
face turns bright if the transmission is shifted into re-
verse. This is to ensure good rearward visibility during reversing. " Photosensors

front and back sides. If the glare from the headlights of
vehicles behind you strikes the mirror, these sensors

Headlights (U.S. spec. WRX-STi)
High-intensity-discharge (HID) bulbs are used
for the low beams of the headlights on the U.S.
spec. WRX-STi. These HID bulbs use an ex-
tremely high voltage. To avoid the risk of an
electric shock and resulting serious injury, you
should not attempt to replace them. Neither
should you attempt to replace the high-beam
bulbs, remove/refit the headlight assemblies,
or remove any headlight-assembly compo-
nents. For replacement of the headlight bulbs
(low-beam and high-beam), removal and instal-
lation of the headlight assemblies, and removal
of headlight-assembly components, contact
your Subaru dealer.
! Headlight (Except U.S. spec. WRX-STi)
Halogen headlight bulbs become very hot while
in use. If you touch the bulb surface with bare
hands or greasy gloves, finger prints or grease on the bulb surface will develop into hot spots
and cause the bulb to break. If there are finger
prints or grease on the bulb surface, wipe them
away with a soft cloth moistened with alcohol.
NOTE "
If headlight aiming is required, consult your
SUBARU dealer for proper adjustment of the head-
light aim. " It may be difficult to replace the bulbs. Have
your SUBARU dealer replace the bulbs if neces-
sary. ! Low beam light bulbs
