66 1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)
WARNING
■Seatbelt damage and wear
●Do not damage the seatbelts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be
jammed in the door.
●Inspect the seatbelt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose
parts. Replace a damaged seatbelt immediately. Damaged seatbelts can-
not protect an occupant from death or serious injury.
●Ensure that the belt and plate are locked and the belt is not twisted.
If the seatbelt does not function correctly, immediately contact your
SUBARU dealer.
●Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been
involved in a serious accident, even if there's no obvious damage.
●Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the
seatbelts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by your SUBARU
dealer. Inappropriate handling of the pretensioner may prevent it from
operating properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
■When using the seatbelt guide
●Always make sure that the belt is not twisted, and runs freely through the
guide.
●Regardless of whether the guide is used or not, always secure the seatbelt
guide button.
●Do not hang from or pull the guide forcefully.
■Before using the rear seatbelts
●Always make sure that the seatbelt is
not caught in the seatback or twisted in
one of the hooks that secure the seat-
back. Failure to do so may cause the
seatbelt to not be fastened correctly or
to become ineffective in a collision,
resulting in serious injury.

Before driving
WARNING
■When driving the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while driving.
Failure to do so may result in loss of control of the vehicle and cause an
accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Do not adjust the mirrors while driving.

●Both the driver and passenger side mirrors must be extended and properly
adjusted before driving.

burn you.

161 2-1. Driving procedures

When driving
WARNING
●On vehicles with a manual transmission, do not release the clutch pedal
too quickly. Doing so may propel the vehicle forward, possibly causing an
accident.
●Moving the select lever to N (vehicles with an automatic transmission) or
shift lever to neutral (vehicles with a manual transmission) while the vehi-
cle is moving will disengage the engine from the transmission. Engine
braking is not available when N or neutral is selected.
●During normal driving, do not turn off the engine. Turning the engine off
while driving will not cause loss of steering or braking control, but the
power assist to these systems will be lost. This will make it more difficult to
steer and brake, so you should pull over and stop the vehicle as soon as it
is safe to do so.
●Use engine braking (downshift) to maintain a safe speed when driving
down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose
effectiveness. (oP. 182, 188)
●Do not adjust the position of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or
outside rear view mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control that can cause accidents,
resulting in death or serious injury.
●Always check that all passengers' arms, heads or other parts of their body
are not outside the vehicle, as this may result in death or serious injury.
●Do not drive in excess of the speed limit. Even if the legal speed limit per-
mits it, do not drive over 85 mph (140 km/h) unless your vehicle has high-
speed capability tires. Driving over 85 mph (140 km/h) may result in tire
failure, loss of control and possible injury. Be sure to consult a tire dealer
to determine whether the tires on your vehicle are high-speed capability
tires or not before driving at such speeds.

When driving
■Rear view camera display
●On vehicles with a genuine SUBARU navigation system, the rear view
camera display will be prioritized over other displays. To display another
display, shift the select lever (vehicles with an automatic transmission) or
shift lever (vehicles with a manual transmission) to a position other than
“R”.
●Images from the rear view camera will be displayed horizontally reversed
as is the case with the vehicle’s rear view mirror or a side view mirror.
●Images on the screen may look different depending on the number of
passengers and loading conditions.
●When the vehicle is on an incline or decline, distances displayed on the
screen may look different than the actual distance.
●When the vehicle is loaded, the distance on the screen will look farther
than the actual distance, as is the case when approaching an upward
incline.
●The color of objects on the screen may be different from the actual color
of the objects.
●Be sure to check your surroundings when “Check Surroundings Before
Backing Up” is displayed.
●If you shift to “R” shortly after turning the engine switch to the “ON” posi-
tion (vehicles without a keyless access with push button start system) or
the push-button ignition switch to “ON” mode (vehicles with a keyless
access with push button start system), “Check Surroundings Before
Backing Up” may not be displayed. Wait several seconds or more after
turning the engine switch to the “ON” position (vehicles without a keyless
access with push button start system) or the push-button ignition switch
to “ON” mode (vehicles with a keyless access with push button start sys-
tem) before shifting to the “R” range. The warning message can then be
displayed.

When driving
WARNING
■When using the rear view camera
●Since the rear view camera uses a wide-angle lens, the image on the
screen will be different from the actual view in terms of distance.
●Since the range of the image displayed on the screen is limited, you
should always check the area behind the vehicle and the surrounding area
with your eyes and mirrors, and move backward at a slow speed. Moving
backward only by checking the rear view image from the rear view camera
could lead to an accident.
●Do not disassemble or modify the rear view camera, switch or wiring. If
smoke comes from any of the parts or you smell a strange odor, stop using
the rear view camera immediately. Contact your SUBARU dealer for an
inspection. Continued use may result in accident, fire or electric shock.
●Do not expose the rear view camera or wiring to an open flame as damage
or a fire may occur.
●Do not use the system if the trunk is open.
