Maintenance and care
■After a fuse is replaced
●If the lights do not turn on even after the fuse has been replaced, a bulb
may need replacement. (→P. 340)
●If the replaced fuse blows again, have the vehicle inspected by your
SUBARU dealer.
■If there is an overload in the circuits
The fuses are designed to blow, protecting the wiring harness from damage.
WARNING
■To prevent system breakdowns and vehicle fire
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may cause damage, and possibly a fire or injury.
●Never use a fuse of a higher amperage rating than indicated, or use any
other object in place of a fuse.
●Always use a genuine SUBARU fuse or equivalent.
●Do not modify the fuse or the fuse box.
CAUTION
■Before replacing fuses
Have the cause of electrical overload determined and repaired by your
SUBARU dealer.

Maintenance and care
■When replacing light bulbs
SUBARU recommends that you use genuine SUBARU products designed
for this vehicle.
Because certain bulbs are connected to circuits designed to prevent over-
load, non-genuine parts or parts not designed for this vehicle may be unus-able.

WARNING
■Replacing light bulbs
●Turn off the lights. Do not attempt to replace the bulb immediately after
turning off the lights.
The bulbs become very hot and may cause burns.
●Do not touch the glass portion of the light bulb with bare hands. When it is
unavoidable to hold the glass portion, use and hold with a clean dry cloth
to avoid getting moisture and oils on the bulb.
Also, if the bulb is scratched or dropped, it may blow out or crack.
●Fully install light bulbs and any parts used to secure them. Failure to do so
may result in heat damage, fire, or water entering the headlight unit. This
may damage the headlights or cause condensation to build up on the lens.
■When changing the back-up lights
Stop the engine and wait until the exhaust pipe has cooled sufficiently. The
lights are located near the exhaust pipe and touching a hot exhaust pipe can
cause burns.

WARNING
■Discharge headlights
●Contact your SUBARU dealer before replacing the discharge headlights
(including light bulbs).
●Do not touch the discharge headlight’s high voltage socket when the head-
lights are turned on.
An extremely high voltage of 25000 V will be discharged and could result
in serious injury or death by electric shock.
●Do not attempt to take apart or repair the low beam discharge headlight
bulbs, connectors, power supply circuits, or related components.
Doing so could result in electric shock and serious injury or death.
■To prevent damage or fire
Make sure bulbs are fully seated and locked.
