If equipped, your Subaru can
be programmed to automatically
recall your preferred Power
Driver’s Seat position. For step by
step instructions on setting the
Power Memory Seat, please refer
to page 110.
Head Restraint Adjustment
Pull the head restraint up to raise
it. To lower the head restraint,
push it down while pressing the
release button on the top of the
seatback. Each head restraint
should be adjusted so that the
center of the head restraint is
closest to the top of the
occupant’s ears.
The angle of the front head
restraints can be adjusted by
tilting them forward. You will hear
a click when the restraint locks in
place. Pulling the head restraint
as far forward as it will go allows it
to return to the fully upright position.
