Auxiliary input jack
By connecting a commercial audio pro-
duct to the vehicle, such as a portable
audio player, you can hear its sound via
the vehicle ’s speaker.
An auxiliary (AUX) input jack is equipped
in the lower compartment of the center
console. A stereo mini pin plug (3.5ø) can
be inserted in this jack. The connection
cable is available at electrical appliance or
similar stores.
To use the AUX input jack :
1. Connect a portable audio player to the
AUX input jack.
2. Press the “RSE AUX ”button on the
audio control panel to turn on the auxiliary
audio input. 3. Play back the portable audio player.
Refer to the Owner
’s Manual for the
portable audio player.
NOTE . The output sound of the portable
audio player is not loud, and the sound
via the vehicle ’s speakers that are
connected to the vehicle audio set
may be very low. If you turn up the
volume of the audio set, the volume
becomes louder. However, when you
change from one portable audio player
to another one, the volume levels via
the vehicle ’s speakers may be signifi-
cantly louder compared to the prior
device. To avoid a large volume differ-
ence, turn down the volume when you
change between portable audioplayers.. In some cases, when the sound
volume of the portable audio player is
low, the sound becomes bad when you
turn up the volume of the vehicle audio
system. In this case, adjust the sound
volume of the portable audio player.. In some cases, noise occurs be-
cause of a bad connection between the
portable player and the vehicle audio
system. Try cleaning the stereo jack
and audio plug.. If noise is not reduced, check for disconnection of the cord or malfunc-
tions of the portable player.

Rear Seat Entertainment
(RSE) system operation (ifequipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with the Rear
Seat Entertainment (RSE) system, you
can listen to the audio via the vehicle
speakers. Push the“RSE AUX ”button to
play a DVD using the Rear Seat Entertain-
ment system.
For detailed operating procedures, refer to
the Owner ’s Manual supplement for the
Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) system.
NOTE . To watch a DVD in the front seats
using the monitor of the navigation
system, park the vehicle in a safe
location and apply the parking brake.
Images of the DVD will not be displayed
on the front monitor unless the parking
brake is applied.. The harman/kardon
®audio system
is a stereo system with 2 channels. If a
harman/kardon
®audio system is
equipped, the Rear Seat Entertainment
(RSE) system may not generate a
satisfying realistic sound when playing
5.1 channel audio sources. Precautions to observe when
handling a compact disc
Use only compact discs (CDs, CD-Rs and
CD-RWs) that have the mark shown in the
following illustration. Also, some compact
discs cannot be played.

.You cannot use a DualDisc in the CD
player. If you insert a DualDisc into the
player, the disc may not come out again,
possibly causing the player to malfunction. . In cold and/or rainy weather, dew can
form inside the CD player, preventing
normal operation. If this happens, eject
the CD and wait for the player to dry out. . Skipping may occur when the CD
player is subjected to severe vibration
(for example, when the vehicle is driven
on a rough surface). . To remove a disc from the case, press
the center of the case and hold both
edges of the disc. If the disc surface is
touched directly, contamination could
cause poor tone quality. Do not touch the
disc surface. . Use a clean disc whenever possible. If there are deposits, wipe the disc surface
from the center outward with a dry, soft
cloth. Be sure not to use a hard cloth,
thinner, benzine, alcohol, etc. .
Do not use any disc that is scratched,
deformed, or cracked. Also, do not use
any disc that has a non-standard shape
(for example, a heart shape). Malfunctions
or problems might result. . A disc is vulnerable to heat. Never
keep it either in places exposed to direct
sunlight, near heaters or in vehicles
parked in the sun or on hot days.

Cleaning the interior
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the climate
control panel, audio equipment, instru-
ment panel, center console, combination
meter panel, and switches. (Do not use
organic solvents.) &Seat fabric
Remove loose dirt, dust or debris with a
vacuum cleaner. If the dirt is caked on the
fabric or hard to remove with a vacuum
cleaner, use a soft blush then vacuum it.
Wipe the fabric surface with a tightly
wrung cloth and dry the seat fabric
thoroughly. If the fabric is still dirty, wipe
using a solution of mild soap and luke-
warm water then dry thoroughly.
If the stain does not come out, try a
commercially available fabric cleaner. Use
the cleaner on a hidden place and make
sure it does not affect the fabric adversely.
Use the cleaner according to its instruc-tions. NOTE
When cleaning the seat, do not use
benzine, paint thinner, or any similarmaterials. &
Leather seat materials
The leather used by SUBARU is a high
quality natural product which will retain its
distinctive appearance and feel for many
years with proper care.
Allowing dust or road dirt to build up on the
surface can cause the material to become
brittle and to wear prematurely. Regular
cleaning with a soft, moist, natural fiber
cloth should be performed monthly, taking
care not to soak the leather or allow water
to penetrate the stitched seams.
A mild detergent suitable for cleaning
woolen fabrics may be used to remove
difficult dirt spots, rubbing with a soft, dry
cloth afterwards to restore the luster. If
your SUBARU is to be parked for a long
time in bright sunlight, it is recommended
that the seats and headrests be covered,
or the windows shaded, to prevent fading
or shrinkage.
Minor surface blemishes or bald patches
may be treated with a commercial leather
spray lacquer. You will discover that each
leather seat section will develop soft folds
or wrinkles, which is characteristic of
genuine leather. & 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, switches,
combination meter, and other
plastic surface
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 that contain thosesolvents. Appearance care
