GAUGES AND WARNING LIGHTS

Illumination Brightness
When the light controls are on
(in the
,, or “AUTO”
position), and ambient light is low,
rotating the illumination
brightness dial on the instrument
panel upward will make the
instrument panel illumination
brighter. When the dial is fully
rotated upward (dots aligned),
the instrument panel illumination
stays at full brightness. Rotating
the dial downward dims the
instrument panel illumination.
When the ambient light is bright,
the illumination brightness is set
to the maximum regardless of the position of the control dial.
For more information, please refer to “Instruments and Controls” in your Owner’s
Manual.
Daytime Running Lights
The daytime running lights automatically turn on when the engine is running, the parking
brake is fully released, the select lever is out of the “P” position, and the light switch is set
to Off, “AUTO”, or “
”. Always turn on the headlights when it’s dark outside by rotating
the dial to the “
” or “AUTO” position.
TURN SIGNALS
Push fully up for the right turn signal and fully
down for the left turn signal. Your Subaru also
has a one-touch lane changer feature: push
slightly up and release to signal a right lane
change or push slightly down and release to
signal a left lane change.

Paddle Shift Control Switches
You can shift gears using the
paddle shift control switches.
To upshift to the next higher gear,
pull the “+” paddle on the right
toward you. To downshift to the
next lower gear, pull the “–”
paddle on the left toward you.
You can temporarily shift gears
even when the select lever is in
the “D” position by pulling either
the “+” or “–” paddle toward you.
Once vehicle speed stabilizes, the
transmission will switch back to
normal mode.
ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE (EPB)
To apply the parking brake,
depress the brake pedal and pull
the parking brake switch up.
The indicator light on the parking
brake switch will illuminate and
“PARK” will appear in the
Combination Meter.
To release the parking brake
manually, depress the brake pedal
and push the parking brake
switch down with the ignition in
the “ON” position. To
automatically release the parking
brake, gently press the accelerator pedal with the select lever in the “D” or “R” position.
NOTE: Automatic parking brake release will not work unless all the doors are closed and
your seatbelt is fastened.

HIGH BEAM ASSIST (HBA)
This function uses the EyeSight®cameras to automatically switch the
headlights between high and low beam settings, enhancing safety for
both you and other drivers on the road. To activate High Beam Assist,
set the headlight control switch to the “AUTO” position and push the
headlight lever forward to the high beam position. The green HBA
indicator illuminates on the Combination Meter.
HBA automatically activates the high beams when the forward area is dark, there are no
preceding/oncoming vehicles or sharp curves in the road, and your speed is approximately
20 mph or greater. When a preceding/oncoming vehicle is detected, the forward area is
bright, your speed decreases to 10 mph or less, or the EyeSight
®system is malfunctioning
or is temporarily stopped, HBA automatically switches to low beams.
STEERING RESPONSIVE HEADLIGHTS (SRH)
The Steering Responsive Headlights (SRH) system aims the headlight beams in the
direction you are steering, improving visibility at corners and intersections when driving at
night. You can turn the SRH system on or off using the steering wheel mounted “i/SET”
switches to access the settings menu on the Combination Meter Display (CMD).
For more information, please refer to “Instruments and Controls” in your Owner’s
Manual.
REVERSE AUTOMATIC BRAKING (RAB)(if equipped)
This system uses four rear bumper mounted sonar
sensors to detect objects when moving between
1 and 9 mph in reverse. RAB uses the Rear-Vision
Camera image to display colored proximity alerts
when an object is detected. As an object becomes
closer to the rear of your vehicle, audible beeps
provide additional awareness in progressive levels.
If RAB determines that a collision with an object is
possible, the system can automatically apply the
brakes to help prevent or minimize the impact.
Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) OFF
In some cases, such as connecting a trailer, it may be helpful to temporarily turn the
system off. RAB can be turned off using the buttons in the lower corners of the
touchscreen when the select lever is in the “R” position.
Select and hold the “RAB ON” button in the lower part of the touchscreen
until it changes to “RAB OFF” to disable the automatic braking functions of
the RAB system.
Select and hold the “P))) ON” button in the lower part of the touchscreen until
it changes to “P))) OFF” to disable the audible beeping of the RAB system.
DRIVER ASSIST TECHNOLOGIES
103

EYESIGHT®DISCLAIMER
EyeSight®is a driver assist technology which may not operate optimally under all driving
conditions. The driver is always responsible for safe and attentive driving. System
effectiveness depends on many factors such as vehicle maintenance, weather and road
conditions. See Owner’s Manual for complete details on system operations and limitations.
The Pre-Collision Braking system is designed to provide automatic braking that either
prevents a collision or reduces the severity of a frontal impact.
The Pre-Collision Throttle Management system is designed to reduce acceleration and
minimize the severity of certain frontal impacts.
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control and Brake Light Recognition are designed to assist the
driver and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving.
Lane Centering function operates only when used in conjunction with Advanced Adaptive
Cruise Control.
Lane Departure Prevention operates only when the lane markings are visible, and system
effectiveness depends on many factors.
Blind-Spot Detection, Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert are systems
designed to assist the driver by monitoring the rear and side areas of the vehicle during a
lane change or reversing and are not a substitute for safe and attentive driving.
The Reverse Automatic Braking System is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving.
System effectiveness depends on many factors, such as vehicle maintenance, weather
and road conditions. Always exercise caution and use vehicle mirrors and the Rear-Vision
Camera when backing up. See Owner’s Manual for complete details on system operation
and limitations.
