LIGHT CONTROLS
1AUTO: If equipped, rotate the end of the
lever to set your headlights to
automatically turn on or off, depending
on the level of light outside. When in the

automatically turn on when the
windshield wipers operate several times.
NOTE: The sensitivity of the automatic
headlights can be adjusted through the
STARLINK
®multimedia display.
2 Parking Lights: Rotate the end of the lever to turn on the instrument panel
illumination, parking lights, side marker lights, tail lights, and license plate lights.
3 Headlights: Rotate the end of the lever to turn on the headlights, instrument panel
illumination, parking lights, side marker lights, tail lights, and license plate lights. To
flash the headlights, pull the lever toward you, then release. The high beams will stay
on as long as you hold the lever.
4 High Beams: Push the lever forward to change from low beam to high beam. When
set to the “AUTO” position, pushing the lever forward also activates the High Beam
Assist (HBA) system, if equipped. Pull the lever back to center to return to low beam.
5 Fog Lights: If equipped, rotate the dial to turn on the fog lights when the headlights
are on low beams in the “

Illumination Brightness
When the light controls are on (in the
,, or “AUTO” position), and
ambient light is low, rotating the
illumination brightness dial on the
instrument panel upward will make
the instrument panel illumination
brighter. When the dial is fully
rotated upward (dots aligned), the
instrument panel illumination stays
at full brightness. Rotating the dial
downward dims the instrument
panel illumination.
When the ambient light is bright, the
illumination brightness is set to the
maximum regardless of the position
of the control dial.
For more information, please refer to “Instruments and Controls” in your
Owner’s Manual.

EYESIGHT®OVERVIEW
Your Subaru features a variety of safety
systems that are the culmination of everything
Subaru Engineers know about safety. These
systems are referred to as “Driver Assist
Technologies” and add confidence to every
trip you and your passengers take. Working
together, these systems provide enhanced
awareness, safety, and convenience in front,
to the sides, and behind your Subaru. Subaru
Driver Assist Technologies include:
• EyeSight
®Driver Assist Technology
• Rear-Vision Camera
• Pre-Collision Braking
• Blind-Spot Detection (BSD)
• Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA)
• Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB)
• High Beam Assist (HBA)
• Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
• Steering Responsive Headlights (SRH)
OPERATION
EyeSight®is a driver assist technology that
uses dual color cameras to serve as an extra
pair of eyes on the road ahead to identify
vehicles in front, pedestrians, traffic lanes, or
other objects. If need be, the EyeSight
®
system can apply the brakes and/or reduce
engine power to help avoid or reduce the
severity of a collision. During these events, the
system will provide audible and visual alerts to
assist you in making decisions.
Since the characteristics and limitations of the
EyeSight
®color cameras are similar to human
eyes, it is important that the cameras,
windshield, and area in front of the cameras
are treated with special care. Please refer to
“Care and Limitations” on page 91 in this
Getting Started Guide for more details.

HIGH BEAM ASSIST (HBA)(if equipped)
This function uses the EyeSight®cameras to automatically switch
the headlights between high and low beam settings, enhancing
safety for both you and other drivers on the road. To activate High
Beam Assist, set the headlight control switch to the “AUTO”
position and push the headlight lever forward to the high beam
position. The green HBA indicator illuminates on the Combination
Meter.
HBA automatically activates the high beams when the forward area is dark, there are no
preceding/oncoming vehicles or sharp curves in the road, and your speed is approximately
20 mph or greater. When an preceding/oncoming vehicle is detected, the forward area is
bright, your speed decreases to 10 mph or less, or the EyeSight
®system is malfunctioning
or is temporarily stopped, HBA automatically switches to low beams.
STEERING RESPONSIVE HEADLIGHTS (SRH)
(if equipped)
The Steering Responsive Headlights (SRH) system aims the headlight beams in the
direction you are steering, improving visibility at corners and intersections when driving at
night. Although the system is normally on, you can turn the system off using the SRH OFF
switch located on the lower left console.
For more information, please refer to “Instruments and Controls” in your Owner’s
Manual.
