the entire map program for the United States. This option is great if you normally stay in
your home state and/or surrounding states.

Updating Maps Using Your PC/MAC
Maps can also be updated using a USB memory device, which will
allow the entire map program to be updated at one time. This is a
great option if you are going to take a cross-country trip and your
maps have not been updated in a while.
To update the map using a USB memory device, start by going to
www.subaru-maps.com.
CLOCK
You can adjust the clock manually or set the clock to update
automatically. When set to “Auto,” the clock automatically adjusts
when a Bluetooth
®connected phone is paired (vehicles without
navigation), or through the GPS signal (vehicles with navigation

The following sections contain step-by-step instructions for setting
the clock, and you can scan the QR codes for a helpful “how to”
video. Choose the appropriate QR code based on your
