!Tips for the high beam assist
function
.The high beam assist function recog-
nizes the condition surrounding the vehicle
based on the brightness of illumination
ahead of your vehicle, etc. Therefore, the
headlight mode may switch in some
situations that do not match to the driver’s
sense.
.A bicycle or cargo cycle may not be
detected.
.Under the following situations, the high
beam assist function may not work prop-
erly. As a result, the glare of the high beam
may disturb the oncoming vehicle or
vehicle ahead. Also, the low beam mode
may continue although there are no
oncoming vehicles and vehicles ahead.In the such cases, change the headlight
mode manually.
–In bad weather (fog, snow, sand
storm, heavy rain, etc.)
–When the windshield glass is dirty,
fogged, cracked or damaged
–Whenthestereocameraisde-
formed or the stereo camera lenses
are dirty
–If there are lights similar to the
headlights or the tail lights in the
surrounding area
–When an oncoming vehicle or ve-
hicle ahead is driven without its head-
lights and tail lights on
–If the headlights of an oncoming
vehicle or the tail lights of a vehicle
ahead are dirty or discolored, or if the
light beams are not aimed correctly
–When a rapid change of brightness
continues while driving
–When driving on a road with many
ups and downs, uneven surfaces or
curves
–When there are some objects that
reflect light strongly, such as a road
sign or a mirror in vehicle ahead
–When the rear part of the vehicle
ahead, such as a container, reflects
light strongly
–When the headlights of your vehicle
are damaged or dirty

trolYou can adjust the illumination brightness
of the combination meter, the climate

.To brighten, turn the control dial up-
ward.
.To darken, turn the control dial down-
ward.
Themulti-functiondisplay(colorLCD)
automatically adjusts its brightness to-
gether with the brightness level of the

NOTEThe brightness setting is not canceled
even when the ignition switch is turned
to the“LOCK”/“OFF”position.&Automatic dimming functionIf you turn on the parking lights, the
illumination brightness of the combination
meter, the climate control panel or other
functions will automatically darken.NOTEWhen you turn the control dial fully
upward, the illumination brightness
becomes the maximum level and the
automatic dimming function will not
work at all.&Auto dimmer cancel functionIf you turn on the parking lights with the
ambient light bright, the illumination bright-
ness of such items will not darken.
The operational/non-operational setting
and sensitivity of the auto dimmer cancel
function can be changed by your SUBARU
dealer. Contact your SUBARU dealer for
details.
Headlight beam leveler (if
equipped)&Automatic headlight beam
leveler (models with LED
headlights)The LED 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 fre-
quently, such as at fuel stops.
.Do not operate the wipers when
the windshield is dry. This may
scratch the glass, damage the
blade rubbers and might cause
the wiper motor to fail. Before
operating the wiper on a dry
windshield, always use the wind-
shield washer.
.In freezing weather, be sure that

北米Model "A1700BE-B" EDITED: 2017/ 10/ 11
the blade rubbers are not frozen
to the windshield before switch-
ing on the wipers. Attempting to
operate the wiper with the blade
rubbers frozen to the window
glass could cause not only the
blade rubbers to be damaged but
also might cause the wiper motor
to fail. If the blade rubbers are
frozen to the window glass, be
sure to operate the defroster or
the windshield wiper deicer (if
equipped) 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 operation.
.Use clean water if windshield
washer fluid is unavailable. In
areas where water freezes in
winter, use SUBARU Windshield
Washer Fluid or the equivalent.
Refer to“Windshield washer
fluid”F11-38.Also, when driving the vehicle
when there are freezing tempera-
tures, use non-freezing type wi-
per blades.
.Do not clean the wiper blades
with gasoline or a solvent, such
as paint thinner or benzine. This
will cause deterioration of the
wiper blades.
NOTE.The windshield wiper motor is pro-
tected against overloads by a circuit
breaker. If the motor operates continu-
ously under an unusually heavy load,
the circuit breaker may trip to stop the
motor temporarily. If this happens, park
your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the
wiper switch, and wait for approxi-
mately 10 minutes. The circuit breaker
will reset itself, and the wipers will
again operate normally.
.Clean your blade rubbers and win-
dow glass periodically with a washer
solution to prevent streaking, and to
remove accumulations of road salt or
road film. Operate the windshield
washer for at least 1 second so that
washer solution will be sprinkled all
over the windshield.
.Grease, wax, insects or other mate-rial on the windshield or the blade
rubbers results in jerky wiper operation
and streaking on the glass. If you
cannot remove those streaks after
operating the washer or if the wiper
operation is jerky, clean the outer sur-
face of the windshield and the blade
rubbers using a sponge or soft cloth
with a neutral detergent or mild-abra-
sive cleaner. After cleaning, rinse the
window glass and blade rubbers with
clean water. The glass is clean if no
beads form on the glass when you rinse
with water.
.If you cannot eliminate the streaking
even after following this procedure,
replace the wiper blades (or blade
rubbers) with new ones. For replace-
ment instructions, refer to“Replace-
ment of wiper blades”F11-39.
