When the headlights are on high beam,
the high beam indicator light “ ” on the
combination meter also illuminates.■ High Beam Assist Function
(If Equipped)
NOTE The high beam assist function
utilizes the stereo camera installed at
the position of th e front map lights.
 For details on how to handle the
stereo camera, refer to the Owner’s
Manual supplement for the EyeSight
system.
The high beam assist function automati-
cally changes the headlight from high
beam to low beam (or vice versa).
When all of the following conditions are
met, the headlight will change to high
beam.
 When the vehicle speed increases to or
above 20 mph (32 km/h).
 There is no preceding or oncoming
vehicle.
 The forward area of the vehicle is dark.
 The road does not have a sharp curve.
When any of the following conditions are
met, the headlight will change to low
beam. 
When the vehicle speed decreases to
or below 10 mph (16 km/h).
 When the forward area of the vehicle is
bright.
 When there is a preceding or oncoming
vehicle.
 When the EyeSight system is malfunc-
tioning or is temporarily stopped.
NOTE Do not overestimate the capacity of
the high beam assist function. The
driver always has the responsibility to
understand the surrounding situation,
to drive safely, and to change the head-
light mode manually if necessary.
 The factory setting (default setting)
for this function is set as “operational”.
This setting can be changed to OFF
(non-operation) at SUBARU dealers.
For more details, contact a SUBARU
dealer.
▼ How to use the high beam assist
function
The high beam assist function will be acti-
vated when all the following conditions are
met.
 The light control swit ch is in the “AUTO”
position and the low beam headlights are
on automatically.
 The turn signal lever is pushed forward.
High beam assist indicatorWhen the high beam assist function is
activated, the high beam assist indicator
on the combination meter will illuminate.NOTEIf the high beam ass ist function is mal-
functioning or is temporarily stopped,
the headlight will be fixed at low beam.
▼ Temporary stop of high beam
assist functionIf the high beam assist function stops
temporarily due to poor visibility or
abnormal temperature, the message
appears on the combination meter. Once
the conditions have been remedied, drive
the vehicle for a while to restore the
system.

178NOTEEven when the operation conditions of
the high beam assist function are met,
there may be a case in which the high
beam assist indicator does not illumi-
nate.▼ How to temporarily lower the sensi -
tivity of the high beam assist func -
tion
The sensitivity of the high beam assist
function can be lowered by using the
following operations.
1. After turning the ignition switch to the
“ON” position, set the light control switch
to the “AUTO” position and push the
signal lever forward (high beam position).
2. After the high beam assist indicator on
the combination meter will illuminate, turn
the ignition switch to the “OFF” position.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON”
position and within approximately 15
seconds, press the “ ” (following
distance setting) switch more than 10
times consecutively.
When the sensitivity of the high beam
assist function is lowered, the high beam
assist indicator light “ ” on the combina-
tion meter display (col or TFT) will flash.
NOTEThe sensitivity of the high beam
assist function cannot be lowered in
the following conditions. - Cruise control or Adaptive
Cruise Control indicator is illumi-
nated.
- The EyeSight warning indicator
(yellow) is illuminated
 The sensitivity of the high beam
assist function retu rns to normal level
the next time the ignition switch is
turned to the “OFF ” position and the
engine is restarted.
▼ How to change the headlight mode
manually
Change to the low beam:
 Set the light control switch to “ ”.
 Pull the lever while the high beam is
turning on and release it.
Change to the high beam:
Push the lever forward and release it.
At this time, the high beam assist function
will turn off, the high beam assist indicator
will turn off and the high beam indicator
light will turn on.NOTE After manually changing the head-
light mode to the high beam, if you turn on the high beam assist function, push

the lever forward and release it.
 When manually changing the head-
light mode to the high beam, if you turn
the light control switch to the “ ”
position, the parking lights, side
marker lights, tail lights and license
plate lights will turn on.
▼ Tips for the high beam assist
system
The high beam assist function recog-
nizes the condition surrounding the
vehicle based on the brightness of illumi-
nation ahead of your vehicle, etc. There-
fore, the headlight mode may switch in
some situations that do not match to the
driver’s sense.
 A bicycle or cargo cycle may not be
detected.
 Under the following situations, the
brightness of ambient illumination may not
be detected correctly and the high beam
assist function may not work properly. As
a result, the glare of the high beam may
disturb the oncoming vehicle or vehicle
ahead. Also, the low beam mode may
continue although there are no oncoming
vehicles and vehicles ahead. In the such
cases, change the headlight mode manu-
ally.

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.
3-13. Turn Signal Lever1) Right turn
2) Lane change right signal
3) Lane change left signal
4) Left turnTo activate the turn signal:
Pushing the turn signal lever up/down and
releasing it activates the turn signal. Then
the lever returns to its original position.
To cancel the turn signal:
Push and release the turn signal lever
slightly in the opposite direction of the
active turn signal. To signal a lane change:
1. Push the turn signal lever up or down

slightly.
2. Hold in the signal lever during the lane
change.
The turn signal indicator lights will flash in
the direction of the turn or lane change.
The lever will return automatically to the
neutral position when you release it.
■ One-Touch Lane ChangerTo flash the turn signal and turn signal
indicator light three times, push the turn
signal lever up or down slightly and imme-
diately release it.NOTEThe operational/non-operational set-
ting of the one-touch lane changer can
be changed by a SUBARU dealer. Con-
tact the nearest SUBARU dealer for
details. The setting can also be
changed by operating the center infor-
mation display. For details, refer to
"Car settings" P165
CAUTION
In certain circumstances, the head-
lights may become misaligned, and
the headlight beam leveler will not
reset them to the proper angle. This
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.
