Windshield Wipers
To turn on the wipers, press the wiper control lever down
one level for intermittent, two levels for low, or three levels for
high speed. Return the lever to the “OFF” position to stop
the wipers. For a single wipe, move the lever up. To spray

To operate the rear wiper, rotate the end of the knob upward

Daytime Running Lights
Daytime running lights are standard on your vehicle. Only a
reduced brightness high beam will be automatically turned
on when the engine has started and the parking brake is
fully released and the light switch is in the “OFF” or “
”
position. The brightness of the illumination of the high beam
headlights is reduced by the daytime running light system.
You must always switch on your headlights when it’s dark
outside by turning the light switch to the
position.

Location of Spare Tire and Jack
A jack and other maintenance tools are stored in the tool bucket in the center of the
spare tire, located in the trunk or cargo area. Raise the center lid and remove the bucket
from the center of the spare tire. Take the jack out of the bucket. The jack handle is
stowed on the back of the center lid of the cargo area.
Towing Your All-Wheel Drive Vehicle
Since all-wheel drive distributes engine power to all four wheels, improper
towing will severely damage your AWD system. A flatbed truck is the only
recommended way to properly transport your AWD vehicle. If towing is
necessary, it is best done by your Subaru dealer or a commercial towing service.

Assistance is available anytime during the 3-year/36,000-mile Subaru Lim\
ited
Warranty, whichever comes first.* A Subaru Roadside Assistance decal has
