■After a fuse is replaced
●If the lights do not turn on even after the fuse has been replaced, a bulb
may need replacement. ( →P. 405)
● If the replaced fuse blows again, have the vehicle inspected by your
SUBARU dealer.
■ If there is an overload in the circuits
The fuses are designed to blow, protecting the wiring harness from damage.
WARNING

Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may cause damage, and possibly a fire or injury.
●Never use a fuse of a higher amperage rating than indicated, or use any
other object in place of a fuse.
● Always use a genuine SUBARU fuse or equivalent.
● Do not modify the fuse or the fuse box.
CAUTION
■Before replacing fuses
Have the cause of electrical overload determined and repaired by your
SUBARU dealer.

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.
