Headlight Beam Leveler
1823-12. Headlight Beam LevelerThe 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.

may occur after transporting your
vehicle on a flat-bed truck, or if the
vehicle is parked and restarted on
different angles. In such cases,
have the headlight alignment
checked by a SUBARU dealer.

3-14. Wiper and Washer
NOTEThe windshield wiper motor is
protected against overloads by a
circuit breaker. If the motor operates
continuously under an unusually
heavy load, the circuit breaker may trip
to stop the motor temporarily. If this
happens, park your vehicle in a safe
location, turn off th e wiper switch, and
wait for approximately 10 minutes. The
circuit breaker will reset itself, and the
wipers will again operate normally.
 Clean your blade rubbers and
window glass periodically with a
washer solution to prevent streaking,
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 contin-
uously for more than 10 seconds,
or when the washer fluid tank is
empty. This may cause over-
heating of the washer motor.
Check the washer fluid level
frequently, 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 cause the
wiper motor to bu rn out. Before
operating the wiper on a dry wind-
shield always use the windshield
washer.
 In freezing weather, be sure that
the blade rubbers are not frozen
to the windshield before
switching 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 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 location, turn the ignition
switch to the “OFF” position 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" 
P366.
Also, when driving the vehicle
when there are freezing tempera-
tures, use non-freezing type
wiper 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.

184and to remove accumulations of road
salt or road film. Operate the wind-
shield washer for at least 1 second so
that washer solution will be sprinkled
all over the windshield or rear window.
Grease, wax, insects or other mate-
rial on the windshield or the blade
rubbers results in jerky wiper opera-
tion 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
surface of the windshield or rear
window and the blade rubbers using a
sponge or soft cloth with a neutral
detergent or mild abrasive 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 followin g this procedure,
replace the wiper blades (or blade
rubbers) with new ones. For replace-
ment instructions, refer to "Replace-
ment of Wiper Blades" 
P367.
 If the wipers do not operate in the
following conditions, turn the wiper
switch to the “ ” position.
- The wiper switch is in the “ ”
position, however, it does not work.
- The wiper switch is in the “ ”
