Warning and Indicator Lights
142force will be restored after the steering
wheel is not operated for a while and
the power steering control system has
an opportunity to cool down. However,
if the power steering is operated in a
non-standard way which causes
power assist limitation to occur too
frequently, that may result in a mal-
function of the power steering control
system.■ TRAC OFF Indicator
LightThis light illuminates when the TRAC
system is off. For detai ls, refer to "Vehicle
Stability Control ( VSC)/TRAC System"

warning light
NOTEIf the electrical circuit of the Vehicle
Stability Control (VSC) system itself
malfunctions, the warning light only
illuminates. At this time, the ABS (Anti-
lock Brake System) remains fully oper-
ational.
 The warning light illuminates when
the electronic control system of the
ABS/Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
system malfunctions.
The Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
system is probably inoperative under any
of the following conditions. Have your
vehicle checked at a SUBARU dealer
immediately.
 The warning light does not illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position.
 The warning light illuminates while the
vehicle is running.NOTEIf the warning light behavior is as
described in the following examples,
the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) sys-
tem may be considered normal.
 The warning light illuminates right
after the engine is started but turns off
immediately and remains off.
 The warning light illuminates after
the engine has started and turns off
CAUTION
The Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
system provides its ABS control
through the electrica l circuit of the
ABS. Accordingly, if the ABS is
inoperative, the Vehicle Stability
Control (VSC) system becomes
unable to provide ABS control. As a
result, the Vehicle Stability Control
(VSC) system becomes inoperative,
causing the warning light to illumi-
nate. Although both the Vehicle Sta-
bility Control (VSC) and ABS are
inoperative in this case, the ordi-
nary functions of the brake system
are still available. You will be safe
while driving in this condition, but
drive carefully and have your vehi-
cle checked at a SUBARU dealer as
soon as possible.

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.

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

mode may differ due to the following
factors. - Color or brightness of the headlights

of an oncoming vehicle or the tail lights

vehicle or the tail lights of the vehicle
ahead are covered with mud, snow,
etc.

oncoming vehicle or the tail lights of a
vehicle ahead illuminate on only one
side.

Wiper and Washer
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 wiper
blade results in jerky wiper operation
and streaking on the glass. If you
cannot remove the streaks after oper-
ating the windshield washer or if the
wiper operation is jerky, clean the
outer surface of the windshield using a
sponge or soft cloth with a neutral
detergent or mild-abrasive cleaner. Do
not, however, use detergent to clean
the blade rubbers. Use only a sponge
or soft cloth (and no neutral detergent
or mild abrasive cleaner) when you
clean the blade rubbers. If you wipe the
rubber of the blade strongly, the black
coating component will peel off, which
will cause the wiper to judder. Also,
after wiping it off, check that the rubber
has not come loose. After cleaning the
window glass and wiper blade rubbers,
be sure to rinse them with clean water.
Rinse the window un til the water does
not form beads on the glass. This indi-
cates that the glass is clean.
 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 “ ”
position, however, it does not work.
In these cases, contact your SUBARU
dealer.
