Maintenance and care
■Condensation build-up on the inside of the lens
Contact your SUBARU dealer for more information in the following situa-
tions. Temporary condensation build-up on the inside of the headlight lens
does not indicate a malfunction.
●Large drops of water are built up on the inside of the lens.
●Water has built up inside the headlight.
■LED light bulbs
The headlights, parking lights/daytime running lights, front turn signal lights,
front fog lights (if equipped), stop/tail lights, stop lights, rear turn signal lights,
rear side marker lights and high mounted stoplight consist of a number of
LEDs. If any of the LEDs burn out, take your vehicle to your SUBARU dealer
to have the light replaced.
■When replacing light bulbs
SUBARU recommends that you use genuine SUBARU products designed
for this vehicle.
Because certain bulbs are connected to circuits designed to prevent over-
load, non-genuine parts or parts not designed for this vehicle may be unus-
able.

WARNING
■Replacing light bulbs
●Only replace a bulb when it is cool enough to touch. Do not attempt to
replace bulbs while they are hot, as doing so may cause burns.
●Do not touch the glass portion of the light bulb with bare hands. When it is
unavoidable to hold the glass portion, use and hold with a clean dry cloth
to avoid getting moisture and oils on the bulb.
Also, if the bulb is scratched or dropped, it may blow out or crack.
●Fully install the light bulbs and any parts used to secure them. Failure to
do so may result in heat damage, fire, or water entering a light unit. This
may damage the light or cause condensation to build up on the inner side
of the lens.
■When changing the back-up lights
Stop the engine and wait until the exhaust pipes have cooled down suffi-
ciently. The lights are located near the exhaust pipe and touching a hot
exhaust pipe can cause burns.
■To prevent damage or fire
Make sure bulbs are fully seated and locked.

WARNING
■Maintenance of the tires (vehicles with a tire pressure monitoring
system)
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label (tire and load information label). (If your vehicle has tires of a differ-
ent size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label [tire and load information label], you should determine the
proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale (tire pressure warning light) when one or more of your tires is sig-
nificantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale
(tire pressure warning light) illuminates, you should stop and check your
tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driv-
ing on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and
can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and
tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning
light).
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator
to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS mal-
function indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale (tire pres-
sure warning light). When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale
will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illu-
minated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups
as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illu-
minated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure
as intended.
