Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) System (If Equipped)
277
Starting and Operating7
– CONTINUED –
7-21. Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB) System (If Equipped)Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) is a
system designed to help avoid collisions
or reduce collision damage when
reversing the vehicle. If a wall or an
obstacle is detected in the reversing direc-
tion, the system will notify the driver with a
warning sound and may activate the
vehicle’s brakes automatically.
NOTEThe Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB)
system records and stores the follow-
ing data when automatic braking oper-
ates. It does not record conversations,
personal information or other audio
data.
 Distance from the object
 Vehicle speed
 Accelerator pedal operation status
 Brake pedal operation status
 Select lever position
 Outside temperature
 The sensitivity setting of the sonar
sensors
SUBARU and third parties contracted
by SUBARU may acquire and use the
recorded data for the purpose of vehi-
cle research and development.
SUBARU and third parties contracted
by SUBARU will not disclose or pro-
vide the acquired data to any other
third party except under the following
conditions.
 The vehicle owner has given his/her
consent.
 The disclosure/provision is based
on a court order or other legally
enforceable request.
 Data that has been modified so that
the user and vehicle cannot be identi-
fied is provided to a research institu-
WARNING
 Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) is not a system intended to
replace the driver’s responsibility
to check their surroundings for
vehicles or obstacles to avoid a
collision. The driver is responsible for
driving safely. Before reversing,
be sure to first depress the brake
pedal and visually check the
surroundings.
 There are some cases in which
the vehicle cannot avoid colli-
sion, because the system opera-
tion has limitations. The warning
sound or automatic braking may
be delayed or may not operate at
all even when an obstacle is
present. Make sure to set the Automatic
Braking to OFF when the vehicle
is on the free roller or on the
chassis dynamometer. Other-
wise, the vehicle may move and it
may cause an accident. Make sure to set the Automatic
Braking to OFF when towing the
vehicle. Otherwis e, the vehicle
may move and it may cause an
accident. The system is not designed to
detect people (including chil-
dren), animals or other moving
objects. Depending on the vehicle condi-
tion or the surrounding environ-
ment, the sonar sensor’s ability
to detect objects may become
unstable.

Cleaning the Interior
335
Appearance Care10
– CONTINUED –
Check the interior of the vehicle for water
and dirt accumulation under the floor mats
because that could cause corrosion.
Occasionally check under the mats to
make sure the area is dry.
Keep your garage dry. Do not park your
vehicle in a damp, poorly ventilated
garage. In such a garage, corrosion can
be caused by dampness. If you wash the
vehicle in the garage or put the vehicle
into the garage when wet or covered with
snow, that can cause dampness.
If your vehicle is operated in cold weather
and/or in areas where road salts and other
corrosive materials are used, the door
hinges and locks, trun k lid lock, and hood
latch should be inspected and lubricated
periodically.
10-3. Cleaning the InteriorUse a soft, damp cloth to clean the climate
control panel, audio equipment, instru-
ment panel, center console, combination
meter panel, and switches. (Do not use
organic solvents.)■ Seat Fabric MaterialRemove loose dirt, dust or debris with a
vacuum cleaner. If the dirt is caked on the
fabric or hard to remove with a vacuum
cleaner, use a soft brush then vacuum it.
Wipe the fabric surface with a tightly
wrung cloth and dry the seat fabric thor-
oughly. If the fabric is still dirty, wipe using
a solution of mild soap and lukewarm
water then dry thoroughly.
If the stain does not come out, try a
commercially available fabric cleaner. Use
the cleaner on a hidden place and make
sure it does not affect the fabric adversely.
Use the cleaner according to its instruc-
tions.
NOTEAs the color of the meter visor may
transfer, do not place anything on top
of it.■ Leather Seat MaterialsThe leather used by SUBARU is a high
quality natural product which will retain its
distinctive appearance and feel for many
years with proper care.
Allowing dust or road dirt to build up on the
surface can cause leather to become
brittle and wear prematurely. To maintain
its resiliency, leather should be cleaned
monthly or whenever it becomes soiled.
Before cleaning leather upholstery,
vacuum it to remove dust. Use a soft and
lint-free cloth dampened with lukewarm
water and mild soap, taking care not to
soak the leather or allow water to pene-
trate the stitched seams. Use a gentle
circular motion while cleaning the leather -
do not rub or apply extreme pressure.
Wipe the leather again with another clean,
slightly damp cloth to remove soap
residue and dry with a soft cloth.
Minor surface blemishes or difficult dirt
spots may be treated with a commercial
leather spray. Never use alcohol, cleaning
solvents, leather oils, varnishes or
polishes on your leather as it will dry out
the leather finish.
CAUTION
When cleaning the seat, do not use
benzine, paint thinner, or any simi-
lar materials. Doing so could dam-
age the surface and cause the color
to deteriorate.

Cleaning the Interior
336If your SUBARU is to be parked for a long
time in bright sunlight, it is recommended
that the seats and headrests be covered,
or the windows shaded, to prevent fading
or shrinkage.
You will discover that each leather seat
section will develop so ft folds or wrinkles,
which is characteristic of genuine leather.■ Synthetic Leather UpholsteryThe synthetic leather material used on the
SUBARU may be cleaned using mild soap
or detergent and water, after first vacu-
uming or brushing away loose dirt. Allow
the soap to soak in for a few minutes and
wipe off with a clean, damp cloth.
Commercial foam-type cleaners suitable
for synthetic leather materials may be
used when necessary.
■ Instrument Panel, Console
Panel, Switches, Combina -
tion Meter, and Other Plastic
SurfaceUse a soft, damp cloth to clean the instru-
ment panel, center console, combination
meter panel, and switches.■ Center Information DisplayTo clean the center information display,
wipe it with a silicone cloth or with a soft
cloth. If the monitor is extremely dirty,
clean it with a soft cloth moistened with
neutral detergent then carefully wipe off
any remaining detergent.
CAUTION
Strong cleaning agents such as sol-
vents, paint thinners, window
cleaner or gasoline must never be
used on leather or synthetic interior
materials. Doing so could damage
the surface and cause the color to
deteriorate.
CAUTION
 Do not use organic solvents such
as paint thinners or gasoline, or
strong cleaning agents that
contain those solvents. Doing so
could damage the surface and
cause the color to deteriorate. Do not use chemical solvents that
contain silicone on the vehicle
audio system, electrical compo-
nents of the air-conditioner or
any switches. If silicone adheres
to these parts, it may cause
damage to electrical compo-
nents.
CAUTION
 Do not spray neutral detergent
directly onto the monitor. Doing
so could damage the monitor’s
components. Do not wipe the monitor with a
hard cloth. Doing so could
scratch the monitor. Do not use cleaning fluid that
contains thinner, fuel, or any
other volatile substance. Such
cleaning fluid could erase the
lettering on the switches at the
bottom of the monitor.
