NOTE
3-1. Ignition switch (models
without “keyless access with
push-button start system”)
CAUTION
.
Keep the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” position when the engine
is not running.
Do not attach a large key holder or
key case to either key. If it banged
against your knees or hands while
you are driving, it could turn the
ignition switch from the “ON” posi-
tion to the “ACC” or “LOCK” posi-
tion, thereby stopping the engine.
Also, if the key is attached to a key
holder or to a large bunch of other
keys, centrifugal force may act on it
as the vehicle moves, resulting in
unwanted turning of the ignition
switch.
.
Using electrical accessories for a
long time with the ignition switch in
the “ON” or “ACC” position can
cause the battery to go dead.
WARNING
.
.
Never turn the ignition switch to
the “LOCK” position while the
vehicle is being driven or towed
because that will lock the steer-
ing wheel, preventing steering
control. And when the engine is
turned off, it takes a much greater
effort than usual to steer.
.
If the ignition switch will not move
from the “LOCK” position to the
“ACC” position, turn the steering
wheel slightly to the left and right as
you turn the ignition switch.
& Key positions
Before leaving the vehicle, al-
ways remove the key from the
ignition switch for safety and
never allow an unattended child
to remain in the vehicle. Failure to
follow this procedure could re-
sult in injury to a child or others.
Children could operate the power
windows, the moonroof or other
controls or even make the vehicle
move.

Description
The key can only be inserted
or removed in this position.
The ignition switch will lock
the steering wheel when you
remove the key.

seconds to check that the tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) is functioning
properly. If there is no problem and all tires
are properly inflated, the light will turn off.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pres-
sure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a
different size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label, you should determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those tires.)
If this light illuminates when the engine is
running, it may indicate that the transmis-

NOTE
.
If the tire pressures are not correct
and/or the tires are not all the same
size and brand, the rear differential
will be heavily loaded when the
vehicle is driven, resulting in an
abnormally high oil temperature.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates

a low tire pressure telltale when one or
more of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and
can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with
a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-
bined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long
as the malfunction exists. When the mal-
function indicator is illuminated, the sys-
tem may not be able to detect or signal low
tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunc-
tions may occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replacement or
alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning prop-
erly. Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.
Should the warning light illuminate steadily
after blinking for approximately one min-
ute, have the system inspected by your
nearest SUBARU dealer as soon as
possible.
Otherwise an accident involving
serious vehicle damage and serious
personal injury could occur.
If this light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire pres-
sure, a tire may have significant
damage and a fast leak that causes
the tire to lose air rapidly. If you have
a flat tire, replace it with a spare tire
as soon as possible.
When a spare tire is mounted or a
wheel rim is replaced without the
original pressure sensor/transmitter
being transferred, the Low tire pres-
sure warning light will illuminate
steadily after blinking for approxi-
mately one minute. This indicates
the TPMS is unable to monitor all
four road wheels. Contact your
SUBARU dealer as soon as possible
for tire and sensor replacement and/
or system resetting.
WARNING
If this light does not illuminate
briefly after the ignition switch is
turned on or the light illuminates
steadily after blinking for approxi-
mately one minute, you should have
your Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem checked at a SUBARU dealer as
soon as possible.
If the light illuminates steadily after
blinking for approximately one min-
ute, promptly contact a SUBARU
dealer to have the system inspected.
If this light illuminates while driving,

The 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.

If you turn the ignition switch to the
“OFF” position with SRH turned off
and then start the engine again, SRH
will automatically turn on.
When you turn the ignition switch to
the “ON” position, the SRH OFF
indicator light will illuminate and
turn off after several seconds.
SRH only activates when the vehicle
is traveling forward at the speed of
approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) or
more.
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

In freezing weather, be sure that
the blade rubbers are not frozen
to the windshield or rear window
before switching on the wipers.
Attempting to operate the wiper
with the blades 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, windshield wiper dei-
cer (if equipped) or rear window
defogger before turning on the
wiper.

To flash the turn signal and turn signal
indicator light three times, push the turn
signal lever up or down slightly and
immediately release it.
WARNING
In freezing weather, do not use the
windshield washer until the wind-
shield is sufficiently warmed by the
defroster.
NOTE
The operational/non-operational
setting of the one-touch lane changer
can be changed by a SUBARU dealer.
Contact the nearest SUBARU dealer for
details. The setting can also be chan-
ged by operating the combination me-
ter display (color LCD). For details,
refer to “Vehicle Setting” �P199.
Otherwise the washer fluid can
freeze on the windshield, blocking
your view.
CAUTION
.
.
Do not operate the washer con-
tinuously for more than 10 sec-
onds, or when the washer fluid
tank is empty. This may cause
overheating of the washer motor.
Check the washer fluid level fre-
quently, such as at fuel stops.
.
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 place, turn the ignition
switch to the “LOCK”/“OFF” po-
sition and clean the window glass
to allow proper wiper operation.
Do not operate the wipers when
the windshield or rear window is
dry. This may scratch the glass,
damage the blade rubbers and
might cause the wiper motor to
fail. Before operating the wiper
on a dry windshield or rear win-
dow, always use the windshield
washer.

blade results in jerky wiper opera-
tion and streaking on the glass. If
you cannot remove the streaks after
operating the windshield washer or
if the wiper operation is jerky, clean
the outer surface of the windshield
and rear window using a sponge or
soft cloth with a neutral detergent or
mild-abrasive cleaner. Do not, how-
ever, use detergent to clean the
blade rubbers. Use only a sponge
or soft cloth (and no neutral deter-
gent or mild abrasive cleaner) when
you clean the blade rubbers. If you
wipe the rubber of the blade
strongly, the black coating compo-
nent will peel off, which will cause
the wiper to judder. Also, after wip-
ing it off, check that the rubber has
not come loose. After cleaning the
window glass and wiper blade rub-
bers, be sure to rinse them with
clean water. Rinse the window until
the water does not form beads on the
glass. This indicates that the glass is
clean.
.
If the wipers do not operate when the
wiper switch is in the “Lo” position,
turn the wiper switch to the “High”
position. In these cases, we recom-
mend that you contact your
SUBARU dealer.
Refer to “Windshield washer
fluid” �P479.
.
Do not clean the blade rubbers
with gasoline or a solvent, such
as paint thinner or benzine. This
will cause deterioration of the
blade rubbers.
& Windshield wiper and washer

NOTE
The wiper operates only when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “ACC” position.

The windshield wiper motor is pro-
tected against overloads by a circuit
breaker. If the motor operates con-
tinuously under an unusually heavy
load, the circuit breaker may trip to
stop the motor temporarily. If this
happens, park your vehicle in a safe
place, turn off the 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 win-
dow glass periodically with a washer
solution to prevent streaking, and to
remove accumulations of road salt
or road film. Operate the windshield
washer for at least 1 second so that
washer solution will be sprinkled all
over the windshield or rear window.

If programming a garage door opener
or gate operator, it is advised to unplug
the device during the “cycling” process
to prevent possible overheating.
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter remote signals to “time-out”
(or quit) after several seconds of transmis-
sion, which may not be long enough for
HomeLink to pick up the signal during
programming. Similar to this Canadian
law, some U.S. gate operators are de-
signed to “time-out” in the same manner.
The indicator LED on the hand-held
remote will go off when the device times
out, indicating that it has finished transmit-
ting.
Proceed with “Programming a New
