Precautions When Using the System
WA R N I N G
Read this manual first
Read this manual carefully before using the audio and visual
system. We are not liable for accidents or other problems
resulting from failure to follow the instructions in this
manual.
Avoid operating the audio and visual system while driving
You should stop the vehicle in a safe place before operating
the audio and visual system. For safety, some of the audio
and visual system's functions cannot be used unless the
vehicle is stopped.
If you stare at the display too much or operate the buttons of
the system while driving, the audio and visual system could
distract your attention from the current traffic conditions. Be
sure to enter as much information as possible into the
system before departing. Also, be sure to stop your vehicle
in a safe place if you need to enter information.
The touch button on the display screen that cannot be used
have their colors toned down. Buttons on the touch screen
that cannot be used have their colors toned down.
Operating the audio and visual system while driving could
cause your attention to be distracted from the current traffic
conditions. This could result in a severe or fatal accident. Follow
the descriptions of all operations and the instructions for
safety given in this manual without fail.
Look at the audio and visual system screen only when
necessary
When you need to look at the audio and visual system
screen, do so for the shortest time possible. Looking away
from the road for too long could lead to an accident.
Keep the volume low enough for you to hear outside sounds
Keep the system's volume level low enough for you to be
able to hear outside sounds while driving. Otherwise, you
may not be able to react appropriately to traffic conditions,
resulting in an accident.

Before Using the Audio and Visual System
About the audio and visual system
•Subjecting the control buttons or liquid crystal display to excessive
shock could result in audio and visual screen deformation or other
damage.
•Keep any heat source (including lighted cigarettes) away from the
audio and visual system. If a heat source is brought into contact with
the audio and visual system cabinet or panel, they could be
deformed or otherwise degraded.
•In extreme cold, the audio and visual screen may operate sluggishly
and the display may dim. Such conditions do not indicate a problem.
They will disappear when the temperature inside the vehicle rises to
a normal temperature.
•Tiny black and white dots may occasionally appear on the liquid
crystal display. These dots are a normal characteristic of the display.
They do not indicate a problem.
•When the audio and visual screen requires cleaning, gently wipe it
with a silicone cloth or other soft cloth. If necessary, spray the cloth
with neutral cleaning fluid. Be sure to wipe away any cleaning fluid
left on the audio and visual screen. Do not spray the cleaning fluid
directly onto the audio and visual screen. Spraying cleaning fluid
directly onto the audio and visual screen could cause an adverse
effect on internal components. It is also not recommended to wipe
the audio and visual screen with a stiff cloth or attempt to clean it
using thinners, alcohol, or any other volatile solvent. Doing so could
leave scratches or erase the control button labels. CAUTION
Never disassemble or modify the audio and visual system
Never disassemble or modify the system. Doing so may lead
to a fire, an electric shock, or some other type of accident.
Do not continue using the audio and visual system if it
malfunctions
If the system shows any sign of malfunctioning (for example,
the monitor displays no picture), stop using it immediately
and contact the nearest SUBARU dealer. Continuing to use
the system could lead to a fire, an electric shock, or some
other type of accident.
If the audio and visual system gets dirty, or emits smoke or an
odd smell, stop using it
If a foreign object gets inside the system, liquid is spilled
onto the system, or the system emits smoke or an unusual
smell, stop using it immediately and contact the nearest
SUBARU dealer. Continuing to use the system could lead to a
fire, an electric shock, or some other type of accident.

184 Audio and Visual
Before Using the Audio and Visual System
•Do not allow the audio and visual screen to get wet. If the screen
gets wet (for example, from a spilled drink or wet umbrella), its
internal electronic circuitry may malfunction.
•In hot weather, cool the passenger compartment before using the
audio and visual system. The liquid crystal display operates correctly at
temperatures between 0°C and 60°C (32°F and 140°F). When the
temperature exceeds 60°C (140°F), the audio and visual system circuit
protection function is activated, causing the display to dim.
•The liquid-crystal display may be difficult to read when wearing
polarized glasses.
