Rear View Camera
264NOTEDo not wipe the camera with
alcohol, benzine or paint thinner.
Otherwise, discoloration may occur.
To remove contamination, wipe the
camera with a cloth moistened with a
diluted neutral detergent. Then wipe it
with a soft, dry cloth. 
When waxing the vehicle, be careful
not to apply the wax to the camera. If it
comes in contact with the camera,
moisten a clean cloth with a diluted
neutral detergent to remove the wax.
 The camera lens has a hard coating
to help prevent scratches. However,
when washing the vehicle or cleaning
the camera lens, be careful not to
scratch the camera lens. Do not use a
washing brush directly on the camera
lens. The image quality of the rear view
camera may deteriorate.
 Strong light shined on the camera
lens may develop vertical lines around
the light source. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
 Under the fluorescent light, the
display may flicker. However, this is
not a malfunction.
 The image of the rear view camera
may be slightly different from the
actual color of the objects.
 If there is a malfunction on the
center information display, refer to
"Malfunctions of the Center Informa-
tion Display" P327.
■ How to Use the Rear View
CameraWhen the shift lever/se lect lever is set to
“R”, the rear view camera automatically
displays the rear view image from the vehicle. When the lever is set to other

positions, the image before setting to “R”
is displayed.
1. Set the ignition switch to “ON”.
2. Set the shift lever/ select lever to “R”.
NOTEThe image of the rear view camera is
horizontally reversed as is the case
with the vehicle inside mirror or the
outside mirror.
 When “Rear Camera Delay Control”
is on, the rear view image from the rear
view camera will be displayed on the
center information display for a certain
amount of time after the shift lever (MT
models) or select lever (AT models) is
shifted from “R” to another position.
When any of the following conditions
are met, the rear view image will be
canceled: - The select lever is shifted to “P”
(AT models)
- The vehicle speed becomes
approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) or
more
- The parking brake is engaged
- 9 seconds have elapsed since
the shift lever (MT models) or select
lever (AT models) was shifted from
“R” to another position
 If mud or snow sticks to or is
frozen on the camera, you must
be very careful when removing it.
Otherwise, damage to the camera
may cause a fire or electric shock.
Pour water or lukewarm water
over the camera to remove mud
and ice, and wipe it with a soft,
dry cloth. Do not put a flame close to the
camera or wiring. Otherwise,
damage or fire may occur. When replacing the fuse, be sure
to use a fuse with the specified

Flat Tires
312outlet. Apply the parking brake and turn on
the ignition switch to the “ACC” position.Turn the air compressor switch on and
adjust the air pressure to the appropriate
level (green zone of the air gauge).
NOTE After the compressor starts to
operate, the air pressure will tempo-
rarily rise to 45 psi (300 kPa, 3.0 kgf/
cm
2) or higher. After about 30 seconds
when all of the sealant is inside the tire,
the air pressure will lower, repre-
senting the air pressure in the tire.
 In extremely low temperatures −22°F
to −4°F ( −30°C to − 20°C), the viscosity
of the sealant increases and the
sealant will flow more slowly. In such
temperatures, bring the sealant into
the vehicle to warm it up before use.
 When mending the tire, if the air
pressure gauge is hard to read, turn
the compressor switch off once to get
an accurate reading. 5. While filling the tire with air, attach the

speed limit label on the position shown in
the illustration.

more than 10 minutes as it can
get hot. Be care ful not to get
burned. If tire pressure doesn’t reach the
green zone for 10 minutes, this kit
will be unable to seal the tire.
Please contact your SUBARU
dealer for help.
WARNING

Towing
324holes, return the plugs to their original
places.■Using a Flat-Bed Truck
This is the best way to transport your
vehicle. Use the following procedures to
ensure safe transportation.
1. Shift the select lever into the “P” posi-
tion for AT models. Sh ift the shift lever into
the 1st position for MT models.
2. Apply the parking brake firmly.
3. Secure the vehicle onto the carrier
properly with safety chains. Each safety
chain should be equally tightened and
care must be taken not to pull the chains
so tightly that the suspension bottoms out.
■ Towing with All Wheels on
the Ground
WARNING
Use the rear tie-down holes only for
downward anchoring. If they are
used to anchor the vehicle in any
other direction, cables may slip out
of the holes, possibly causing a
dangerous situation.
900488
CAUTION
Transport by flat -bed truck may
cause the headlights to become
misaligned. In such a case, have the
headlight alignment checked by a
SUBARU dealer after transporting
the vehicle by flat-bed truck.
WARNING
 Never turn the ignition switch to
the “OFF” position while the
vehicle is being towed because
the steering wheel and the direc-
tion of the wheels will be locked. Remember that the brake booster
and power steering do not func-
tion when the engine is not
running. Because the engine is
turned off, it w ill take greater
effort to operate the brake pedal
and steering wheel.
