Audio/Voice command system
!Casual speech recognization
Due to natural language speech recogni-
tion technology, this system enables re-
cognition of a command when spoken
naturally. However, the system cannot
recognize every variation of each com-
mand. In some situations, it is possible to
omit the command for the procedure and
directly state the desired operation. Not all
voice commands are displayed in the
function menu.
NOTE
If the command cannot be recognized
completely, the command input screen
will be displayed. (Search results will
be shown based on the part of the
command that was recognized.)

Rear view camera
Legacy
Outback
A rear view camera is attached to the
trunk lid (Legacy) or rear gate (Outback).
When the ignition switch is“ON”and the
shift lever (MT models) or select lever
(CVT models) is set to“R”, the rear view
camera automatically displays the rear
view image behind the vehicle on the
audio/navigation monitor.
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
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 orelectric 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 a

malfunction.
.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 a
malfunction..Under fluorescent lighting, 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 performing the following procedure,
the rear view camera automatically dis-
plays the rear view image from the
vehicle.
1. Set the ignition switch to“ON”.
2. Set the shift lever or select lever to“R”.
When any of the following conditions
occur, the image before setting to“R”will
be displayed.
.Several seconds have passed since
the shift lever is set to a position other than
“R”(MT models) (off delay function).
.Several seconds have passed since
the select lever is set to a position other
than“P”or“R”(CVT models) (off delay
function).
.The vehicle speed is more than 5 mph
(8 km/h).
.The select lever is set to“P”(CVT
models).
NOTE
.For models with the genuine
SUBARU navigation system, the image
of the rear view camera has priority
over other screen displays. To operate
other screens, set the shift lever (MT
models) or select lever (CVT models) to
a position other than“R”.
.The image of the rear view camera is
horizontally reversed as is the case
with the vehicle rear view mirror or the
side view mirror.
.It may be difficult to see the image of
the rear view camera in the following
cases. This is not a malfunction of the
camera.
–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).

Interior equipment/Rear view camera
tion cannot be seen on the screen.
CAUTION
The range that can be viewed with
the rear view camera is limited.
Always be sure to check with your
eyes when moving backward and
proceed slowly.
&Help line
The help line (distance marker and vehicle
width line) is a guide to help you realize
the actual distance from the screen.
Help lines
1) Vehicle width line (oblique vertical line)
2) Approx. 10 feet (3 m) from the bumper
(green horizontal line)
3) Approx. 3 feet (1 m) from the bumper
(yellow horizontal line)
4) Approx. 1.5 feet (0.5 m) from the bumper
(red horizontal line)
5) Vehicle centerline
When the shift lever or select lever is set
to position“R”, the monitor screen dis-
plays the help lines together with the rear
view image.
CAUTION
.When moving backward, always
check the back with your eyes
without relying on the help lines.
.The actual position may be dif-
ferent from the indication of the
help lines.
.Differences may occur due to
number of passengers or loaded
cargo.
.When the vehicle is on a slope or
when the vehicle is inclined
against the road, the indication
is different from the actual posi-
tion.
.Be sure to observe the displayed
warning message“Check Sur-
roundings Before Backing Up”.
NOTE
If you shift to the“R”range shortly
after turning on the ignition switch, the
warning message“Check Surround-
ings Before Backing Up”may not be
displayed. Wait for several seconds or
more after turning on the ignition
switch before shifting to the“R”range.
Then the warning message will be
displayed.

!Difference between screen and ac-
tual road

loaded. It may be different from the actual
distance depending on the loading condi-
tions or road conditions.
