Headlight beam leveler (if
equipped)
&Automatic headlight beam
leveler (models with HID
headlights)
The HID headlights generate more light
than conventional halogen headlights.
Therefore a driver of an oncoming vehicle
may experience too much glare if your
headlight beam height adjustment is high
when the vehicle is carrying a heavy load.
The automatic headlight beam leveler
adjusts the headlight beam height auto-
matically and optimally according to the
load being carried by the vehicle.

Wiper and washer
WARNING
In freezing weather, do not use the
windshield washer until the wind-
shield is sufficiently warmed by the
defroster.
Otherwise the washer fluid can
freeze on the windshield, blocking
your view.
CAUTION
.Do not operate the washer con-
tinuously for more than 10 sec-
onds, or when the washer fluid
tank is empty. This may cause
overheating of the washer motor.
Check the washer fluid level
frequently, such as at fuel stops.
.Do not operate the wipers when
the windshield or rear window is
dry. This may scratch the glass,
damage the rubber wiper blades
and might cause the wiper motor
to fail. Before operating the wiper
on a dry windshield or rear
window, always use the wind-
shield washer..In freezing weather, be sure that
the rubber wiper blades are not
frozen to the windshield or rear
window before switching on the
wipers. Attempting to operate the
wiper with the rubber wiper
blades frozen to the window
glass could cause not only the
rubber wiper blades to be da-
maged but also might cause the
wiper motor to fail. If the rubber
wiper blades are frozen to the
window glass, be sure to operate
the defroster, windshield wiper
deicer (if equipped) or rear win-
dow defogger before turning on
the wiper.
.If the wipers stop during opera-
tion because of ice or some other
obstruction on the window, this
might cause the wiper motor to
fail even if the wiper switch is
turned off. If this occurs,
promptly stop the vehicle in a
safe place, turn the ignition
switch to the“LOCK”/“OFF”po-
sition and clean the window
glass to allow proper wiper op-
eration.
.Use clean water if windshield
washer fluid is unavailable. In
areas where water freezes in

This setting can be changed by a
SUBARU dealer. Consult your SUBARU
dealer for details.
CAUTION
Do not attach anything that disturbs
the rear wiper operation on the rear
gate. Doing so may damage the rear
wiper when it operates.
!Washer
To wash the rear window while the rear
wiper is operating, turn the knob switch
upward to the“
”position. The washer
fluid sprays until you release the knob.
To wash the rear window when the rear
wiper is not in use, turn the knob switch
downward to the“
”position. The washer
fluid sprays and the wiper operates until
you release the knob.
Mirrors
Always check that the inside and outside
mirrors are properly adjusted before you
start driving.
&Inside mirror
The inside mirror has a day and night
position. Pull the tab at the bottom of the
mirror toward you for the night position.
Push it away for the day position. The
night position reduces glare from head-
lights.
&Outside mirrors
!Convex mirror (passenger side)
WARNING
Objects look smaller in a convex
mirror and farther away than when
viewed in a flat mirror. Do not use
the convex mirror to judge the
distance of vehicles behind you
when changing lanes. Use the inside
mirror (or glance backwards) to
determine the actual size and dis-
tance of objects that you view in
convex mirror.
