door locks, home lighting, and security
systems. There are three HomeLink
®buttons on the sun visor, each of which
you can program for operation of one desired device. For details on the device
types which can be operated by this
system, consult the HomeLink website at
www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515.

garage door opener or other
device. Make sure that people
and objects are out of the way
of the garage door opener or
other device to prevent potential
harm or damage.
. Do not use the HomeLink
®Wire-
less Control System with any
garage door opener that lacks
the safety stop and reverse fea-
ture as required by applicable
safety standards. A garage door
opener which cannot detect an
object, signaling the door to stop
and reverse, does not meet these
safety standards. Using a garage
door opener without these fea-
tures increases risk of serious
injury or death. For more infor-
mation, consult the HomeLink
website at www.homelink.com
or call 1-800-355-3515.
CAUTION
When programming the HomeLink
®Wireless Control System to operate
a garage door opener or an entrance
gate, unplug the device ’s motor
from the outlet during programming
to prevent motor burnout. NOTE .
After programming your HomeLink
®Wireless Control System for the de-
sired devices, retain the hand-held
transmitters for further programming
or device testing in the event of aproblem..It is recommended that you insert a
new battery in the hand-held transmit-
ter of a device to ensure correctprogramming. & Garage door opener pro-
gramming in the U.S.A.
NOTE
When programming the HomeLink
®Wireless Control System for a garage
door opener, it is suggested that you
park the vehicle outside the garage.

ton and check the HomeLink
®indicator
light. If the indicator light stays on con-
tinuously, your garage door should acti-
vate and the programming is completed.
If the indicator light flashes rapidly for 2
seconds and then stays on continuously, your garage door opener may be pro-
tected by a rolling code feature. In this
case you need to perform additional steps.

equipped)
A rear view camera is attached to the rear
gate. When the ignition switch is
“ON ”and
the select lever is set to “R ”, the rear view
camera automatically displays the rear
view image behind the vehicle on the
navigation monitor or on the inside mirror.
WARNING
. Since the rear view camera uses
a wide-angle lens, the image on
the monitor is different from the
actual view in terms of distance.
. Since the range of the image on
the monitor is limited, you should
always check the rear view and
Interior equipment/Rear view camera6-21

6-22Interior equipment/Rear view camera
the surrounding area with your
eyes and mirrors, and move
backward at a slow speed. Mov-
ing backward only by checking
the rear view image from the
camera could cause an accident.
. Do not disassemble or modify the
camera, switch or wiring. If
smoke comes out or you smell
a strange odor, stop using the
rear view camera immediately.
Contact your SUBARU dealer
for an inspection. Continued use
may result in accident, fire or
electric shock.
CAUTION
. If your vehicle is washed with a
high-pressure washer, do not
allow water to contact the camera
directly. Entry of water in the
camera lens may result in con-
densation, malfunction, fire or
electric shock.
. Since the camera is a precision
device, do not subject it to strong
impacts. Otherwise, malfunction,
fire or electric shock may occur.
. If mud or snow sticks to or is
frozen on the camera, you must be very careful removing it.
Otherwise, damage done to the
camera may cause a fire or
electric shock. Pour water or
lukewarm water over the camera
to remove mud and ice, and wipe
it with a soft, dry cloth.
. Do not put a flame close to the
camera or wiring. Otherwise, da-
mage or fire may occur.
. When replacing the fuse, be sure
to use a fuse with the specified
rating. Use of a fuse with a
different rating may result in amalfunction.
. If the rear view camera is used for
a long time while the engine is
not operated, the battery may
become completely discharged.
NOTE . Do not wipe the camera with alcohol,
benzine or paint thinner. Otherwise,
discoloration may occur. To remove
contamination, wipe the camera with a
cloth moistened with a diluted neutral
detergent and then wipe it with a soft,
dry cloth.. When waxing the vehicle, be careful
not to apply the wax to the camera. If it
comes in contact with the camera, 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
lens may develop white light stripes
around the light source. This is not amalfunction.. Under the fluorescent light, the dis-
play may flicker. However, this is not a malfunction. . 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 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 select lever to “R ”.
