moisten a clean cloth with a diluted
neutral detergent to remove the wax.. The camera lens has hard coating to
help prevent scratches. However, when
washing the vehicle or cleaning the
camera lens, be careful not to scratch
the camera lens. Do not use a washing
brush directly on the camera lens. The
monitor screen may be adversely af-fected.. Strong light shined on the camera

around the light source. This is not amalfunction.. Under fluorescent light, the display
may flicker. However, this is not amalfunction.. The image of the rear view camera
may be slightly different from the
actual color of the objects. & How to use the rear view camera
When the shift lever or select lever is set to “R ”, the rear view camera automatically
displays the rear view image from the
vehicle. When the lever is set to other
positions, the image before setting to “R ”
is displayed.
1. Set the ignition switch to “ON ”.
2. Set the shift lever or select lever to “R ”. NOTE .
For models with the genuine
SUBARU navigation system, the image
of the rear view camera has priority
over other screen displays. Therefore,
while the rear view camera is in opera-
tion, the operations of other screens
are disabled. To operate other screens,
set the shift lever or select lever to a
position other than “R ”.
. The image of the rear view camera is
horizontally reversed as is the case
with the vehicle rearview mirror or the
side view mirror.. It may be difficult to see the image of
the rearview camera in the following
cases. This is not a malfunction of thecamera.
–The vehicle is in a dark place (at
night, in a tunnel, etc.). – The vehicle is in an extremely hot
or cold place.– An object (such as raindrops,
snow, dirt, etc.) that disturbs the
view of the rear view camera sticks
to the lens of the camera. – Strong light shined directly on
the camera lens (occasionally, there
are vertical lines on the screen). &

& Synthetic leather upholstery
The synthetic leather material used on the
SUBARU may be cleaned using mild soap
or detergent and water, after first vacuum-
ing or brushing away loose dirt. Allow the
soap to soak in for a few minutes and wipe
off with a clean, damp cloth. Commercial
foam-type cleaners suitable for synthetic
leather materials may be used when
necessary. NOTE
Strong cleaning agents such as sol-
vents, paint thinners, window cleaner
or gasoline must never be used on
leather or synthetic interior materials. & Climate control panel, audio
panel, instrument panel,
console panel, and switches
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the climate
control panel, audio equipment, instru-
ment panel, center console, combination
meter panel, and switches. NOTE
Do not use organic solvents such as
paint thinners or gasoline, or strong
cleaning agents th at contain those
solvents. &
Monitor (if equipped)
To clean the audio/navigation monitor,
wipe it with a silicone cloth or with a soft
cloth. If the monitor is extremely dirty,
clean it with a soft cloth moistened with
neutral detergent then carefully wipe off
any remaining detergent. NOTE . Do not spray neutral detergent di-
rectly onto the monitor. Doing so could
damage the monitor ’s components.
. Do not wipe the monitor with a hard
cloth. Doing so could scratch the
monitor.. Do not use cleaning fluid that con-
tains thinner, gasoline, or any other
volatile substance. Such cleaning fluid
could erase the lettering on the
switches at the bottom of the monitor. &
Cargo tray (if equipped)
The cargo tray is provided to protect the
cargo area carpet. This cargo tray is
removable to facilitate easy clean up.
Clean with a cloth when necessary using
mild soap and water. It is important that
the bottom of the liner is dry before placing
it back in the cargo area, as mildew mayresult.
It is important that the cargo tray is not
installed if the cargo area carpet is damp
or wet, as mildew may result. Dry the
carpet completely before the cargo tray isinstalled.
Upon installation after prolonged storage,
you may notice that the tray does not
completely lay flat. This is only temporary.
To help return the tray to its original shape,
place the tray on the floor of the vehicle
with a weight on each corner.
