Light Control Switch
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.

3-14. Wiper and Washer
NOTEThe windshield wiper motor is
protected against overloads by a
circuit breaker. If the motor operates
continuously under an unusually
heavy load, the circuit breaker may trip
to stop the motor temporarily. If this
happens, park your vehicle in a safe
location, turn off th e wiper switch, and
wait for approximately 10 minutes. The
circuit breaker will reset itself, and the
wipers will again operate normally.
 Clean your blade rubbers and
window glass periodically with a
washer solution to prevent streaking,
WARNING
In freezing weather, do not use the
windshield washer until the wind-
shield is sufficiently warmed by the
defroster.Otherwise the washer fluid can
freeze on the windshield, blocking
your view.
CAUTION
 Do not operate the washer contin-
uously for more than 10 seconds,
or when the washer fluid tank is
empty. This may cause over-
heating of the washer motor.
Check the washer fluid level
frequently, such as at fuel stops. Do not operate the wipers when
the windshield is dry. This may
scratch the glass, damage the
blade rubbers and cause the
wiper motor to bu rn out. Before
operating the wiper on a dry wind-
shield always use the windshield
washer.
 In freezing weather, be sure that
the blade rubbers are not frozen
to the windshield before
switching on the wipers.
Attempting to op erate the wiper
with the blade rubbers frozen to
the window glass could cause not
only the blade rubbers to be
damaged but also might cause
the wiper motor to fail. If the blade
rubbers are frozen to the window
glass, be sure to operate the
defroster before turning on the
wiper. If the wipers stop during opera-
tion because of ice or some other
obstruction on the window, this
might cause the wiper motor to
fail even if the wiper switch is
turned off. If this occurs,
promptly stop the vehicle in a
safe location, turn the ignition
switch to the “OFF” position and
clean the window glass to allow
proper wiper operation.
 Use clean water if windshield
washer fluid is unavailable. In
areas where water freezes in
winter, use SUBARU Windshield
Washer Fluid or the equivalent.
Refer to "Windshield Washer
Fluid" P366. 
Also, when driving the vehicle
when there are freezing tempera-
tures, use non-freezing type
wiper blades. Do not clean the wiper blades
with gasoline or a solvent, such
as paint thinner or benzine. This
will cause deterioration of the
wiper blades.

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.

CAUTION

Before programming HomeLink
®
to a garage door opener or gate
operator, make sure that people
and objects are out of the way of
the device to prevent potential
harm or damage.
 When programming a garage
door opener, it is advised to park
outside of the garage. Do not use HomeLink
® with any
garage door opener that lacks
safety stop and reverse features
as required by U.S. federal safety
standards (this includes any
garage door opener model manu-
factured before April 1, 1982). A
garage door that cannot detect an
object signaling the door to stop
and reverse does not meet
current U.S. federal safety stan-
dards.
 It is also recommended that a new
battery be placed in the hand-
held remote (garage door opener
remote) of the device for quicker
and more accurate training.
