Rear view cameraA rear view camera is attached to the trunk
lid. When the ignition switch is“ON”and
the shift lever (MT models) or select lever
(CVT models) is set to“R”, the rear view
camera automatically displays the rear
view image behind the vehicle on the
monitor of the navigation system or the
audio display.
WARNING
.Since the rear view camera uses a
wide-angle lens, the image on the
monitor is different from the
actual view in terms of distance.
.Since the range and field of view
of the image on the monitor islimited, you should always check
the rear view 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 camera could cause an
accident.
.Do not disassemble or modify the
camera, switch or wiring. If
smoke comes out or you smell a
strange odor, stop using the rear
view camera immediately. Con-
tact your SUBARU dealer for an
inspection. Continued use may
result in accident, fire or electric
shock.
CAUTION
.When washing your vehicle with
a high-pressure washer, do not
allow water to contact the camera
directly. Entry of water into the
camera lens may result in con-
densation, malfunction, fire or
electric shock.
.Since the camera is a precision
device, do not subject it to strong
impacts. Otherwise, malfunction,
fire or electric shock may occur..If mud or snow sticks to or is
frozen on the camera, you must
be very careful when removing it.
Otherwise, damage to the camera
maycauseafireorelectric
shock. Pour water or lukewarm
water over the camera to remove
mud and ice, and wipe it with a
soft, dry cloth.
.Do not put a flame close to the
camera or wiring. Otherwise, da-
mage or fire may occur.
.When replacing the fuse, be sure
to use a fuse with the specified
rating. Use of a fuse with a
different rating may result in a
malfunction.
.Do not use the rear view camera
for a long time while the engine is
not operating. Otherwise, the ve-
hicle battery may become com-
pletely discharged.
NOTE.Do not wipe the camera with alcohol,
benzine or paint thinner. Otherwise,
discoloration may occur. To remove
contamination, wipe the 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 the wax to the camera. If it
comes in contact with the camera,
moisten a clean cloth with a diluted
neutral detergent to remove the wax.
.The camera lens has a 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 camera
lens. The image quality of the rear view
camera may deteriorate.
.Strong light shined on the camera
lens may develop vertical lines around
the light source. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
.Under fluorescent light, the display
may flicker. However, this is not a
malfunction.
.The image of the rear view camera
may be slightly different from the actual
color of the objects.
&How to use the rear view
cameraWhen the shift lever (MT models) or select
lever (CVT models) is set to“R”, the rear

image before setting to“R”is displayed.
1. Set the ignition switch to“ON”.
2. Set the shift lever (MT models) or
select lever (CVT models) to“R”.NOTE.The image of the rear view camera

screens, set the shift lever or select
lever to a position other than“R”.
.The image of the rear view camera is
horizontally reversed as is the case
