2020 SUBARU OUTBACK belt

Head Restraint Adjustment
Pull the head restraint up to raise it. To lower it,
push it down while pressing the release button
on the top of the seatback. Each head restraint
should be adjusted so that the center of the
head restraint is closest to the top of the
occupant’s ears. This adjustment should be
made for any seating position, front or rear,
that has a new occupant.
You can adjust the angle of the front head
restraints by tilting them forward. You will hear
a click when the restraint is locked. Pulling the
head restraint as far forward as it will go will
allow it to return to the fully upright position.
Seatbelt Adjuster
Always position the seatbelt adjuster so the
shoulder belt passes over the middle of your
shoulder without touching your neck. Pull the
adjuster out and slide it up or down. Release
the adjuster and make sure it is locked in
place.
TILT AND TELESCOPIC STEERING COLUMN
Pull the lever down firmly to unlock, then adjust the
height and lengthwise position of the column. Push
the lever firmly back up to lock the column in place.

When active, the Touchscreen shows the
steering direction, vehicle angle and power
distribution. If the vehicle speed reaches
25 mph while X-MODE is active, the system is
cancelled and you will need to activate it again
once you reach a lower speed.
Hill Descent Control (HDC)
This function helps maintain a constant vehicle speed when driving down steep hills or
declines. HDC is automatically engaged with X-MODE and functions with the select lever
in the “D” or “R” position.

brake switch. The indicator light on the parking
brake switch will illuminate and “PARK” will
