Introduction 9
Before Use
•Always replace fuses with fuses of the same specified 
capacity (amperage). Using a fuse with a higher capacity 
than the specification may result in a fire.
•If a foreign object or water enters the unit, smoke or a 
strange odor may be emitted. If such an abnormality occurs, 
stop using the unit immediately and contact your SUBARU 
dealer. An accident, fire or electric shock may result if you 
continue to use the unit under these conditions.
•In a thunderstorm, do not touch the antenna line or the unit. 
Lightning may cause an electric shock.
•Do not park or stop in prohibited areas to use the unit.
•If direct sunlight shines into the vehicle, light may reflect off 
the product. Be very careful while driving.
•Never use headphones or earphones while driving. Driving 
while not being able to hear sounds from outside the vehicle 
may result in a traffic accident.
CAUTION
•Although the unit can be used when the ignition switch is 
set to either ON or ACC, to protect the battery, start the 
engine before using the unit.
•Do not use the unit anywhere other than in a vehicle. Doing 
so may result in an electric shock or other injury.
•While driving, keep the volume low enough for you to hear 
outside sounds. Driving while not being able to hear sounds 
from outside the vehicle may result in an accident.
•Be careful of the volume when turning on the power. If a 
loud noise is emitted suddenly when you turn on the power, 
it may damage your hearing.
•Do not apply a strong force to the display. Doing so may 
result in a malfunction.
•Do not put your fingers or hands into the disc slot or SD 
memory card slot. Doing so may result in an injury.
•Do not touch the hot parts of the unit. The hot parts may 
burn you.
•Do not use while there is an abnormality such as sound 
breakup or distortion. Doing so may result in a fire.
•Using the unit during extremely high or low temperature 
may result in mistaken operation or a malfunction. In 
particular, the temperature inside the vehicle can often rise 
to a high level during the summer. Cool the vehicle, for 
example by opening a window, before using the unit.
•Be careful if metal or water enters the unit, or the unit is 
exposed to a strong impact, because it may result in a 
malfunction.
•The touch buttons on the display screen may not operate 
correctly if condensation forms inside them. If this happens, 
do not attempt to operate the switches until the 
condensation has disappeared.

Introduction 19
Before Use
•Leaving the USB memory for a long time in a place exposed to direct sunlight 
may result in deformation or discoloration due to the high temperature, or 
cause a malfunction. In such cases, Fuji Heavy Industries will not give any 
compensation. When you are not using the USB memory, keep it in a place 
away from direct sunlight. Further, when leaving the vehicle, do not keep the 
USB memory inside.
•When the audio source is USB, do not disconnect the USB memory. Doing so 
may damage the data in the USB memory. Before disconnecting the USB 
memory, turn the ignition switch to the Off position or switch the audio 
source to a source other than USB, and then disconnect it.About the Unit Modes

Before Use
Precautions for Using Bluetooth Devices
Be careful of the following when using Bluetooth devices.
WA R N I N G
•To ensure safety, the driver should not operate Bluetooth-
connected phones while driving.
•Do not make calls on a cell phone while driving. If you 
receive a call on your phone, calmly stop the vehicle in a safe 
place and then answer the call. If you must answer the call, 
use the handsfree function to inform the caller that you will 
call back later. Then, stop the vehicle in a safe place and call 
back.
•Buttons on the touch screen that cannot be used have their 
colors toned down.
Operating the navigation system while driving could cause 
your attention to be distracted from the current traffic 
conditions. This could result in a severe or fatal accident. 
Follow the descriptions of all operations and the instructions 
for safety given in this manual without fail.
•When using a cell phone in a vehicle, be sure to observe the 
local laws and regulations.
CAUTION
•Do not leave a Bluetooth-connected phone inside the vehicle.
(Direct sunlight may cause the vehicle interior to rise to a very 
high temperature.)
•When using a Bluetooth-connected phone, keep away from 
devices inside the vehicle. If you get too close to a device 
inside the vehicle, the sound or connection quality may drop.
•The frequency band used by these devices is the same band 
that is used by microwave ovens, wireless devices used in 
factory production lines for identifying moving objects 
(license required), special low output wireless devices (license 
not required), amateur radios (license required), and other 
industrial, scientific and medical devices. (The 3 types of 
wireless devices above are hereafter called “other wireless 
devices”.) When using a Bluetooth-connected phone, check 
whether “other wireless devices” are used nearby. If the 
Bluetooth-connected phone causes harmful radio wave 
interference in “other wireless devices”, immediately move the 
phone to a different location to stop the wireless interference. 
The frequency band used by Bluetooth-connected phones is 
the 2.4 GHz band. T
he FH-SS modulation scheme is used. The 
estimated distance in which interference may occur is less than 
10 m. The band used by Bluetooth-connected phones is the full 
band, which helps avoid interference with the band used by 
devices that identify moving objects.

Read First
Most of these icons can be understood intuitively. The following table 
shows the most frequently displayed route events. The symbol design is 
the same in each field.■Lane information & signs
When using route guidance on roads with two or more lanes, it is 
important that you drive in the correct lane. When lane information is 
available on the Map, the lane and direction are indicated below the 
map with small arrows. The lane that you should drive in is highlighted.
When detailed information is available, the arrows are removed and 
signs are displayed. Signs are displayed at the top of the map. The color 
and design of the signs is the same as signs actually found at the side of 
the road or overhead signs. These signs show the district and the route 
number for the lane direction.

Navigation 91
Read First
All signs are displayed in the same manner even when driving without 
using the navigation system. During navigation, only the sign that 
shows the lane in which you should drive is highlighted, the other signs 
are toned down.
■Junction display 
When approaching an expressway exit or a complicated intersection, 
the map switches to a 3D display if the necessary information can be 
displayed. An arrow indicates the lane in which you should drive. Signs 
are also displayed if the information is available. 
■Types of 3D Objects 
The following 3D object types are supported. 
Type Explanation
3D Topography  On a 2D map, the changes in topography or 
undulations in the ground are displayed; and 
when using 3D this data is used to create a 
route map image during navigation. On a 3D 
map, hills and mountains are displayed in the 
background, whilst on a 2D map they are 
expressed using changes in color and shading. 
Elevated Roads  Complicated intersections and three 
dimensional road objects (such as overpasses or 
overhead bridges) are displayed in 3D.

Reference Data
The following pages explain the software's various features and menu screens.
Feature
Smart Zoom
Smart zoom offers a large improvement over standard zoom functions.
•While driving the route: When approaching an intersection, the 
screen is enlarged and the viewpoint raised so that you can easily 
see which way to drive at the next intersection. After navigating the 
intersection, the screen is reduced and the angle lowered to check 
the road in front.
•When driving without route navigation: The screen is enlarged as 
you slow down and reduced as you speed up.
Switching between Day and Night Screens
For the Map screen and menu screen, the colors differ between day and 
night.
•During daytime, the screen's colors are the same as those of a 
printed map, and the menu is brighter.
•At night, the screen uses dark colors for large objects and reduces 
the overall brightness of the screen.
The screen's color scheme differs between day and night. When Link to 
Day/Night View on the Settings screen is set to “Headlight” (See Page 
28.), day view or night view is selected based on whether the lights 
(sidelights, tail lights, license plate light) are on or off, to make it easier to 
view the screen. When “Time” is set (See Page 28.), the view changes at 
the set time. Also, when set to “None” (See Page 29.), you can manually 
switch to a day view or a night view screen at any time.
