WARNING
.Before leaving the vehicle, ob-
serve the following instructions
for safety.
–Remove the key from the igni-
tion switch (models with con-
ventional type ignition
switch).
–Carry out the access key fob
(models with push-button
ignition switch).
–Never allow an unattended
child to remain in the vehicle.
Failure to observe these instruc-
tions could result in injury to a
child or others. Children could
operate the power windows, the
moonroof or other controls, or
even make the vehicle move.
.Never turn the ignition switch to
the“LOCK”/“OFF”position while
driving or being towed. Doing so
will lock the steering wheel, pre-
venting steering control. In addi-
tion, when the engine stops, it
takes a much greater effort thanusual to steer.
CAUTION
.To prevent the vehicle battery
from discharging, keep the igni-
tion switch in the“LOCK”/“OFF”
position when the engine is not
running.
.Do not use electrical accessories
for a long time with the ignition
switch in the“ON”or“ACC”
position. Doing so can cause the
battery to go dead.

.When the operation indicator on
the push-button ignition switch
flashes in orange, contact a
SUBARU dealer immediately.NOTE.When doors are not locked because
the access key fob is left inside the
trunk, you cannot open the trunk lid by
pushing the trunk opener button on the
trunk lid. Press the trunk opener switch
for approximately 1 second to open the
trunk lid. Refer to“To open the trunk lid
from inside”F2-36.
.Do not leave the access key fob
inside the trunk. Depending on the
status of the access key fob and
situation, the trunk lockout protect
function may not operate. Make sure
that you carry the access key fob, and
close the trunk lid.
.Even when the access key fob is
within the operating ranges inside the
vehicle, the access key warning for
engine start may be provided depend-
ing on the status of the access key fob
and the environmental conditions..When the access key fob is taken out
of the vehicle through an open window,
the access key takeout warning or
passenger access key takeout warning

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.

celed and the system stops operating.
CAUTION
.To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not operate the
defogger and deicer system con-
tinuously for any longer than
necessary.
.Do not use sharp instruments or
window cleaner containing abra-
sives to clean the inner surface of
the rear window. They may da-
mage the conductors printed onthe window.
NOTE.Turn on the defogger and deicer
system if the wipers are frozen to the
windshield.
.If the windshield is covered with
snow, remove the snow so that the
windshield wiper deicer works effec-
tively.
.While the defogger and deicer sys-
tem is in the continuous operation
mode:
–If the vehicle speed remains at 9
mph (15 km/h) or lower for 15
minutes, the windshield wiper dei-
cer system automatically stops op-
erating. However, the rear window
defogger system and outside mirror
defogger system maintain continu-
ous operation in this condition.
–If the vehicle battery voltage
drops below the permissible level,
continuous operation of the defog-
ger system and deicer system is
canceled and the system stops
operating.

sonal injury.
.If the lever cannot be raised to the
fixed position, adjust the steering
wheel again. It is dangerous to
drive without locking the steering
wheel. This may cause loss of
vehicle control and result in per-
sonal injury.
