lowing situations. This is not a malfunction.
●When the vehicle is in a dark area (at night, in a tunnel, etc.).
●When the vehicle is in an extremely hot or cold place.
●When foreign matter (such as raindrops, snow, dirt, etc.) that disturbs the

■Taking care of the rear view camera
●Do not clean the rear view camera with alcohol, benzine or paint thinner.
Otherwise, discoloration may occur. To remove contamination, wipe the
rear view 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 wax to the rear view
camera. If wax contacts the rear view camera, remove it with a clean
cloth moistened with a diluted neutral detergent.
●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

WARNING
■When using the rear view camera
●Since the rear view camera uses a wide-angle lens, the image on the
screen will be different from the actual view in terms of distance.
●Since the range of the image displayed on the screen is limited, you
should always check the area behind the vehicle and the surrounding area
with your eyes and mirrors, and move backward at a slow speed. Moving
backward only by checking the rear view image from the rear view camera
could lead to an accident.
●Do not disassemble or modify the rear view camera, switch or wiring. If
smoke comes from any of the parts 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.
●Do not expose the rear view camera or wiring to an open flame as damage
or a fire may occur.
●Do not use the system if the trunk is open.
