2023 SUBARU BRZ height

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.

BSD/RCTA (If Equipped)
271
Starting and Operating7
– CONTINUED –
- When the temperature around
the radar sensors becomes
extremely low
- When the vehicle battery voltage
lowers
- When the vehicle voltage
exceeds the battery voltage rating
The BSD/RCTA will resume operation
once these conditions are corrected,
and the BSD/RCTA OFF indicator will
disappear. However, if the BSD/RCTA
OFF indicator appears for a prolonged
period of time, have the system
inspected at a SUBARU dealer as soon
as possible.
 The detectability of the radar
sensors is restricted. The BSD/RCTA
detection may be impaired and the
system may not operate properly
under the following conditions. - When the rear bumper around
the radar sensors is distorted
- When ice, snow or mud adheres
to the rear bumper surface around
the radar sensors
- When stickers, etc. are affixed on
the areas of the radar sensors on the
rear bumper
- During adverse weather condi-
tions such as rain, snow or fog
- When driving on wet roads such
as snow-covered roads and through
puddles 
The radar sensors may not detect or
may have difficulty detecting the
following vehicles and objects. - Small motorcycles, bicycles,
pedestrians, stationary objects on
the road or road side, etc.
- Vehicles with body shapes that
the radar may not reflect (vehicles
with lower body height such as a
trailer with no cargo and sports
cars)
- Vehicles that are not
approaching your vehicle even
though they are in the detection area
(either on a neighboring lane to the
rear or beside your vehicle when
reversing) (The system determines
the presence of approaching vehi-
cles based on data detected by the
radar sensors.)
- Vehicles traveling at signifi-
cantly different speeds
- Vehicles driving in parallel at
almost the same speed as your
vehicle for a prolonged time
- Oncoming vehicles
- Vehicles in a lane beyond the
neighboring lane
- Vehicles travelling at a signifi-
cantly lower speed that you are
trying to overtake
 On a road with extremely narrow
lanes, the system may detect vehicles driving in a lane next to the neigh-
boring lane.

to warn the
driver of dangers under the following
conditions.
 While the indicator light is illuminating,
if the turn signal lever is operated toward
the side in which this light turned on
 When reversing the vehicle while the
system detects a vehicle approaching
from either side
▽ BSD/RCTA approach indicator
light dimming function
When the headlights are turned on, the
brightness of the BSD/RCTA approach
indicator light will be reduced.
NOTE You may have difficulty seeing the
BSD/RCTA approach indicator light
under the following conditions. - When sunlight shines directly on
it
- When the headlight beams from
a vehicle traveling behind shines
directly on it
 While the illumination brightness
control dial is in the fully upward posi- tion, even if the headlights are turned

on, the brightness of the BSD/RCTA
approach indicator light will not be
reduced. For details about the illumina-
tion brightness control dial, refer to
"Illumination Brightness Control"
 P130.
▼ BSD/RCTA approach warning
buzzer (only when reversing)
A warning buzzer sounds along with
flashing of the BSD/RCTA approach indi-
cator light to warn the driver of dangers.
The setting of the warning buzzer volume
can be changed by operating the center
information display. For details, refer to
"Car settings"  P165.
▼ Safety tips regarding the BSD/
RCTA approach indicator light/
warning buzzer
 In the following cases, operation of the
BSD/RCTA approach indicator light and
the warning buzzer may be delayed or the
system may fail to issue these warnings.
- When a vehicle moves to the neigh-
boring lane from a lane next to the
neighboring lane
- When driving on a steep incline or
on repeated sharp uphill and downhill
grades
- When going beyond a pass - When both your vehicle and a

vehicle driving on a neighboring lane
are driving on the far side of each lane.
- When several narrowly-spaced
vehicles are approaching in a row
- In low radius bends (tight bends or
when making turns at an intersection)
- When there is a difference in height
between your lane and the neighboring
lane
- Immediately after the BSD/RCTA is
activated by touching “BSD/RCTA”
- Immediately after the shift lever/
select lever is shifted to the “R” position
- When extremely heavy cargo is
loaded in the trunk
 During reversing, operation of the BSD/
RCTA approach indicator light and the
warning buzzer may be delayed or the
system may fail to issue these warnings
under the following conditions.
- When backing out of an angled
parking space
- When a large-sized vehicle is
parked next to your vehicle (That
vehicle prevents the propagation of
radar waves.)
- When reversing on sloped roads
- When reversing at a high speedBRZ_U.book 272 ページ ２０２２年３月２９日　火曜日　午後３時５９分

For U.S.A.
39413-1. For U.S.A.The following information has been
compiled according to Code of Federal
Regulations “Title 49, Part 575”.
13-2. Tire Information■ Tire LabelingMany markings (e.g . Tire size, Tire
Identification Number or TIN) are
placed on the sidewall of a tire by
tire manufacturers. These marking
can provide you with useful informa-
tion on the tire.
▼ Tire size
Your vehicle comes equipped with
P-Metric tire size. It is important to
understand the sizing system in
selecting the proper tire for your
vehicles. Here is a brief review of
the tire sizing system with a break-
down of its individual elements.
▽ P Metric
With the P-Metric system, Section
Width is measured in millimeters.
To convert millimeters into inches,
divide by 25.4. The Aspect Ratio
(Section Height divided by Section
Width) helps provide more dimen-
sional information about the tire
size. Example:
(1) P = Certain tire type used on

light duty vehicles such as
passenger cars
(2) Section Width in millimeters
(3) Aspect Ratio (= section height ÷
section width).
(4) R = Radial Construction
(5) Rim diameter in inches
▽ Load and Speed Rating Descrip -
tions
The load and speed rating descrip-
tions will appear following the size
designation.
They provide two important facts
about the tire. First, the number
designation is its load index.
Second, the letter designation indi-
cates the tire’s speed rating.Example:
P 205 / 60 R 16(1) (2) (3) (4) (5)
P 205 / 60 R 16 91 V
Size designation (6) (7)
