&Daytime running light system
WARNING
When the daytime running lights are
illuminated, the tail lights do not
illuminate. When it becomes dark
outside, turn the light switch to the
“
”position to illuminate the head-
lights and tail lights. This will im-
prove visibility and allow other dri-
vers to see your vehicle more easily.
The daytime running lights will automati-
cally illuminate when the following condi-
tions are fulfilled.
.The engine is running.
.The parking brake is fully released.
.The light control switch is in the“AUTO”
(if equipped),“
”or off position..For CVT models, the select lever is in a
position other than the“P”position.
NOTEWhen the light switch is in the“
”
position, the instrument panel illumina-
tion, front side marker lights, tail lights
and license plate lights are also illumi-
nated.
Steering Responsive Head-
light (SRH) (if equipped)1) The target area of illumination when SRH
is activated
2) The target area of illumination when SRH
is not activatedSRH is a function that automatically moves
the headlight beam to the left or right in
accordance with the steering angle and
vehicle speed. This function helps to
improve the visibility at night by illuminat-
ing the road ahead at corners and inter-
sections.

You can turn the SRH function on or off by
pressing the SRH OFF switch.1) SRH OFF indicatorThe SRH OFF indicator on the combina-
tion meter turns off when SRH is turned on.
The SRH OFF indicator on the combina-tion meter illuminates when SRH is turned
off.
If SRH is malfunctioning, the SRH OFF
indicator on the combination meter flashes
when the ignition switch is in the“ON”
position. It indicates that SRH has been
deactivated. Contact a SUBARU dealer for
an inspection.
NOTE.If you turn the ignition switch to the
“OFF”position with SRH turned off and
then start the engine again, SRH will
automatically turn on.
.When you turn the ignition switch to
the“ON”position, the SRH OFF indi-
cator will illuminate and turn off after
several seconds.
.SRH only activates when the vehicle
is traveling forward at the speed of
approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) or more.
.SRH may not activate when the shift
lever (MT models) is selected in 1st
gear.
Headlight beam leveler
(models with LED headlights)The LED headlights produce more light
than conventional halogen headlights.
When the vehicle is carrying a heavy load
and the headlight beams are angled
upwards, the driver of an oncoming vehicle
may experience glare.
To prevent this, the automatic headlight
beam leveler adjusts the headlights to the
optimum height automatically depending
on the load the vehicle is carrying.

and off based on the steering angle and
vehicle speed when entering a curve or
driving on curved roads. The system is
intended to help prevent accidents by
enabling better visibility of curves ahead
and early recognition of any disabled
vehicles or other obstacles.
The front fog light on the inside of a curve
will turn on if all of the following conditions
are met..The light control switch is in the“
”
position, or the light control switch is in the
“AUTO”position and the low beam head-
lights are turned on automatically

Starting and stopping the en-
gine (models without push-
button start system)
CAUTION
Do not operate the starter motor
continuously for more than 10 sec-
onds. If the engine fails to start after
operating the starter for 5 to 10
seconds, wait for 10 seconds or
more before trying again.NOTEIt may be difficult to start the engine
when the battery has been discon-
nected and reconnected (for mainte-
nance or other purposes). This diffi-
culty is caused by the electronically
controlled throttle’s self-diagnosis
function. To overcome it, keep the
ignition switch in the“ON”position
for approximately 10 seconds before
starting the engine.
&Starting engine!General precautions when starting
engine
WARNING
.Never start the engine from out-
side the vehicle (except when
using the remote engine start
system). It may result in an acci-
dent.
.Do not leave the engine running
in locations with poor ventilation,
such as a garage and indoors.
The exhaust gas may enter the
vehicle or indoors, and it may
result in carbon monoxide poi-
soning.
.Do not start the engine near dry
foliage, paper, or other flammable
substances. The exhaust pipe
and exhaust emissions can cre-
ate a fire hazard at high tempera-
tures.
CAUTION
.If the engine is stopped during
driving, the catalyst may over-
heat and burn..When starting the engine, be sure
to sit in the driver’s seat (except
when using the remote engine
start system).
NOTE.Avoid rapid racing and rapid accel-
eration immediately after the engine
has started.
.For a short time after the engine has
started, the engine speed is kept high.
When the warm-up is completed, the
engine speed lowers automatically.
.On rare occasions, it may be difficult
to start the engine depending on the
fuel and the usage condition (repeated
driving of a distance in which the
engine has not warmed up sufficiently).
In such a case, it is recommended that
you change to a different brand of fuel.
.On rare occasions, transient knock-
ing may be heard from the engine when
the accelerator is operated rapidly such
as a rapid start-up and a rapid accel-
eration. This is not a malfunction.
.The engine starts more easily when
the headlights, air conditioner and rear
window defogger are turned off.
.Do not shift the select lever (CVT
models) or shift lever (MT models)
while the starter is cranking.

–Vehicles that are not approaching
your vehicle even though they are in
the detection area (either on a
neighboring lane to the rear or be-
side your vehicle when reversing)
(The system determines the pre-
sence of approaching vehicles
based on data detected by the radar
sensors.)
–Vehicles traveling at significantly
different speeds
–Vehicles driving in parallel at al-
most the same speed as your vehi-
cle for a prolonged time
–Oncoming vehicles
–Vehicles in a lane beyond the
neighboring lane
–Vehicles travelling at a signifi-
cantly lower speed that you are
trying to overtake
.On a road with extremely narrow
lanes, the system may detect vehicles
driving in a lane next to the neighboring
lane.
.When the 8-inch audio/navigation
system is performing a software up-
date, the RCTA warning icons may not
be displayed on the audio/navigation
screen until the update is complete.
&BSD/RCTA approach indica-
tor light/warning buzzerWhen the BSD/RCTA is active, the BSD/
RCTA approach indicator light will operate
to alert the driver when there are vehicles
in the neighboring lanes. When reversing
the vehicle, the BSD/RCTA approach
indicator light and warning buzzer will
operate to alert the driver that a vehicle is
approaching from the left or right side.
!BSD/RCTA approach indicator lightBSD/RCTA approach indicator lightIt is mounted in each side of the outside
mirrors.
The indicator light will illuminate when a
vehicle approaching from behind is de-
tected.
The indicator light will flash to warn thedriver of dangers under the following
conditions.
.While the indicator light illuminates, if
you operate the turn signal lever toward
the side in which this light turned on.
.When reversing the vehicle while the
system detects a vehicle approaching
from either side.
!BSD/RCTA approach indicator
light dimming function
When the headlights are turned on, the
brightness of the BSD/RCTA approach
indicator light will be reduced.
NOTE.You may have difficulty recognizing
the BSD/RCTA approach indicator light
under the following conditions.
–When affected by direct sunlight
–When affected by the headlight
beams from the vehicles behind
.While the illumination brightness
control dial is in the fully upward
position, even if the headlights are
turned on, the brightness of the BSD/
RCTA approach indicator light will not
be reduced. For details about the
illumination brightness control dial,
