Installation of accessories Always consult your SUBARU dealer
before installing a citizen band radio or
other transmitting device in your vehicle.
Such devices may cause the electronic
control system to malfunction if they are
incorrectly installed or if they are not
suited for the vehicle.
Audio set Your SUBARU may be equipped with one
of the following audio sets. Refer to the
pages indicated in this section for operat-
ing details.
NOTE If a cell phone is placed near the audio
set, it may cause the audio set to emit
noise when the phone receives calls.
This noise does not indicate an audio
set malfunction. Note that a cell phone
should be placed as far as possible
from the audio set. Audio/Installation of accessories

Tips for operating the audio/
visual system & Operating information CAUTION. To avoid damage to the audio/
visual system:
– Be careful not to spill bev-
erages over the audio/visual
system.
– Do not put anything other than
an appropriate disc into the
disc slot.
NOTE The use of a cellular phone inside or
near the vehicle may cause a noise
from the speakers of the audio/visual
system which you are listening to.
However, this does not indicate a
malfunction.
! Radio
Usually, a problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with the
radio — it is just the normal result of
conditions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and terrain can interfere with FM reception. Power
lines or phone wires can interfere with AM
signals. And of course, radio signals have
a limited range. The farther the vehicle is
from a station, the weaker its signal will
be. In addition, reception conditions
change constantly as the vehicle moves.
Here, some common reception problems
that probably do not indicate a problem
with the radio are described.
! FM
Fading and drifting stations: Generally, the
effective range of FM is about 25 miles (40
km). Once outside this range, you may
notice fading and drifting, which increase
with the distance from the radio transmit-
ter. They are often accompanied by
distortion.
Static and fluttering: These occur when
signals are blocked by buildings, trees or
other large objects. Increasing the bass
level may reduce static and fluttering.
Station swapping: If the FM signal being
listened to is interrupted or weakened, and
there is another strong station nearby on
the FM band, the radio may tune in the
second station until the original signal can
be picked up again. ! AM
Fading: AM broadcasts are reflected by
the upper atmosphere — especially at
night. These reflected signals can inter-
fere with those received directly from the
radio station, causing the radio station to
sound alternately strong and weak.
Station interference: When a reflected
signal and a signal received directly from
a radio station are very nearly the same
frequency, they can interfere with each
other, making it difficult to hear the broad-
cast.
Static: AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high
tension power lines, lightening or electrical
motors. This results in static.
! SiriusXM
. Cargo loaded on the roof luggage
carrier, especially metal objects, may
adversely affect the reception of SiriusXM
Satellite Radio.
. Alternation or modifications carried out
without appropriate authorization may in-
validate the user ’ s right to operate the
equipment.Audio/Tips for operating the audio/visual system

. It may not be possible to play discs
recorded on a personal computer depend-
ing on the application settings and the
environment. Record with the correct
format. (For details, contact the appropri-
ate application manufacturers of the ap-
plications.)
. CD-R/CD-RW discs may be damaged
by direct exposure to sunlight, high tem-
peratures or other storage conditions. The
unit may be unable to play some damaged
discs.
. If you insert a CD-RW disc into the
player, playback will begin more slowly
than with a conventional CD or CD-R disc.
. Recordings on CD-R/CD-RW cannot
be played using the DDCD (Double
Density CD) system.
