shown in the illustration.
NOTE If the light control switch is in the
“AUTO” position and the headlights do
not turn on when it becomes dark
outside, turn the light switch to “ ” position. If this happens, have your vehicle inspected
by your SUBARU
dealer as soon as possible.

High/Low Beam Change
(Dimmer)
While the light control switch is in the “ ”
or “AUTO” position in a dark place, the
headlights will turn on.
Pushing the lever forward and releasing it
will activate the high beam. Pulling the
lever rearward and releasing it will switch
the headlights to low beam.
For models with the High Beam Assist,
when the light control switch is in the
“AUTO” position, pushing the lever
forward turns the High Beam Assist is on. Refer to "High Beam Assist Function (If
Equipped)"
P177.
When the headlights are on high beam,
the high beam indicator light “ ” on the
combination meter is also on.

Headlight Flasher
To flash the headlights, pull the lever
toward you and then release it. The high
beam will stay on for as long as you hold
the lever. The headlight flasher works
even though the lighting sw itch is in the off
position.
CAUTION
If any object is placed on or near the
sensor, the sensor may not detect
the level of the ambient light cor-
rectly and the auto on/off headlights
may not operate properly.

Winter Driving
296warning flasher to alert other drivers.
Refer to "Hazard Warning Flasher"
P127.
We recommend use of non-freezing type
wiper blades (winter blades) during the
seasons you could have snow and
freezing temperatures. Blades of this type
give superior wiping performance in
snowy conditions. Be sure to use blades
that are suitable for your vehicle.NOTEWhen the season requiring non-freez-
ing type wiper blades is over, replace
them with standard wiper blades.■
Corrosion Protection
Refer to "Corrosion Protection" P334.
■
Snow Tires
In winter, it may be possible to enhance
performance through use of tires
designed specifically for winter driving
conditions.
If you choose to install winter tires on your
vehicle, be sure to use the correct tire size
and type.
You must install four winter tires that are of
the same size, construction, brand and
load range and you should never mix
radial, belted bias or bias tires since this
may result in dangerous handling charac-
teristics. When you choose a tire, make
sure that there is enough clearance
between the tire and vehicle body.
CAUTION
During high-speed driving, non-
freezing type wiper blades may not
perform as well as standard wiper
blades. If this happens, reduce the
vehicle speed.
WARNING
When replacing or installing
winter tire(s), all four tires must
be the same for the following
items.
(a) Size(b) Speed symbol(c) Load index(d) Circumference(e) Construction(f) Manufacturer(g) Brand (tread pattern)(h) Degrees of wearFor items (a) to (c), you must
obey the specification that is
printed on the tire inflation pres-
sure label. The ti re inflation pres-
sure label is located on the
driver’s center pillar.If all four tires are not the same in
items (a) to (h), serious mechani-
cal damage could be caused to
the drivetrain of the car, and
affect the followings.
- Ride- Handling- Braking- Speedometer/Odometer cali-
bration- Clearance between the bodyand the tires
It also may be dangerous and
lead to loss of vehicle control,
and it can lead to an accident.
Do not use a combination of
radial, belted bias or bias tires
since it may cause dangerous
handling characteristics and lead
to an accident.

Flat Tires
304
NOTEContact a SUBARU dealer when jack-
ing up the vehicle using a garage jack.
1. Park on a hard, level surface, when-
ever possible, then stop the engine.
2. Set the parking brake securely and
shift the shift lever in reverse (MT models)
or the select lever to the “P” (Park) posi-
tion (AT models).
3. Turn on the hazard warning flasher
and unload all occupants and luggage
from the vehicle.
4. Put wheel blocks at the front and rear
of the tire diagonally opposite the flat tire.5. Take out the jack, jack handle and
wheel nut wrench.
The tools and the spare tire are stored
under the floor of the trunk. Refer to
"Maintenance Tools"
P302.
NOTEMake sure that the jack is well lubri-
cated before using it.
6. Models with spare tire: Take out the
under-floor storage compartment and turn
the attaching bolt counterclockwise, then
take the spare tire out.
Always turn off the engine before
raising the flat tire off the ground
using the jack. Never swing or
push the vehicle supported with
the jack. The jack can come out of
the jacking point due to a jolt and
this can result in serious injury or
death. All passengers must exit the
vehicle before you raise it with
the jack. Raising the vehicle with
someone inside of it could result
in serious injury or death.Do not start the vehicle while it is
supported by the jack. Doing so
could result in serious injury or
death.
CAUTION
Do not hit and bend the disc rotor
backing plate when removing and
installing the tire. A bent backing
plate may scrape against the disc
rotor and cause noise while the
vehicle is in motion.

Flat Tires
308Do not use tire chains on a sealed
tire.Do not tow a trailer.If used for a purpose other than
sealing a flat tire, the flat tire
repair kit may cause a severe
accident or injury due to the fact
that compressed air can act as an
explosive or propellant.Safely park your vehicle on the
roadside so that you do not
obstruct the flow of traffic and so
that you are able to seal the flat
tire without being in danger.Apply the parking brake, even if
the vehicle is parked on a level
road, to make sure that the
vehicle will not move.Stop the engine before sealing
the flat tire.Turn on the hazard warning
flasher while sealing the flat tire.Do not attempt to remove foreign
objects like nails or screws that
have penetrated the tire. Leave
them as they are. Never leave the flat tire repair kit
unattended while in use.Only one tire can be repaired with
one bottle of sealant.
The tires can be repaired when
the ambient temperature is −22 °F
( − 30 °C) or higher.
CAUTION
Remember that the flat tire repair
kit only provides temporary
mobility. Regulations concerning
tire repair after usage of flat tire
repair kit may di ffer from country
to country. We recommend that
you consult your SUBARU dealer
or tire dealer for advice. Store the flat tire repair kit safely
and secure it under the floor of
the trunk. Storing it anywhere in
the passenger compartment is
not advisable because it could
strike an occupant in the event of
a sudden stop or collision and
cause injury. Use the flat tire repair kit with
original vehicle tires only.Do not keep the air compressor
operating for more than 10
minutes, otherwise there is a risk
of overheating.The temperature of the air
compressor may become high.
Be careful not to burn yourself.
When raining, take measures to
prevent the air compressor from
being exposed directly to the
rain. Exposing to rain may cause
a malfunction.Do not use air compressors other
than the one in the repair kit.
Using an air compressor other
than the one in the repair kit may
damage the tires.Do not disassemble or modify the
air compressor to enable the use
of a power supply or a battery
other than DC 12 V.If a temporary puncture repair is
performed with the repair kit, the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) (if equipped) may not
operate normally.
