!Tips for the high beam assist sys-
tem
.The high beam assist function recog-
nizes the conditions surrounding the ve-
hicle based on the brightness of illumina-
tion ahead of your vehicle, etc. Therefore,
the headlight mode may switch in some
situations that do not match to the driver’s
sense.
.A bicycle or cargo cycle may not be
detected.
.Under the following situations, the
brightness of ambient illumination may
not be detected correctly and the high
beam assist function may not work prop-
erly. As a result, the glare of the high beam
maydisturbtheoncomingvehicleor
vehicle ahead. Also, the low beam mode
may continue although there are no
oncoming vehicles and vehicles ahead.
In the such cases, change the headlight
mode manually.
–In bad weather (fog, snow, sand
storm, heavy rain, etc.).
–When the windshield glass is dirty or
fogged.
–When the windshield is cracked or
damaged.
–Whenthestereocameraisde-
formed or the stereo camera lensesare dirty.
–If there are lights similar to the
headlights or the tail lights in the
surrounding area.
–When an oncoming vehicle or ve-
hicle ahead is driven without its head-
lights and tail lights on.
–If the headlights of an oncoming
vehicle or the tail lights of a vehicle
ahead are dirty or discolored, or if the
light beams are not aimed correctly.
–When a rapid change of brightness
continues while driving.
–When driving on a road with many
ups and downs or uneven surfaces.
–When driving on a road with many
curves.
–When there are some objects that
reflect light strongly, such as a road
sign or a mirror in vehicle ahead.
–When the rear part of the vehicle
ahead, such as a container, reflects
light strongly.
–When the headlights of your vehicle
are damaged or dirty.
–When your vehicle is tilted, such as
in case the vehicle has a flat tire or is
being towed.
–Immediately after the engine has
started.
.In the following conditions, the head-
light mode will not be automatically chan-ged from the high beam to the low beam.
–When your vehicle passes an on-
coming vehicle suddenly in a blind
curve.
–When another vehicle passes in
front of your vehicle.
–When an oncoming vehicle or ve-
hicle ahead comes in and out of view
because of continuous curves, median
strips, roadside trees, etc.
.If the stereo camera detects the light of
the front fog lights of an oncoming vehicle,
the headlight mode may change from the
high beam to the low beam automatically.
.The headlight mode may change from
the high beam to the low beam, or the low
beam mode may continue, when affected
by a street light, traffic signal, illumination
of an advertisement board, or a reflective
object such as a road sign and signboard.
.The timing of the change of headlight
mode may differ due to the following
factors.
–Color or brightness of the headlights
of an oncoming vehicle or the tail lights
of a vehicle ahead.
–The headlights of the oncoming
vehicle or the tail lights of the vehicle
ahead are covered with mud, snow,
etc.
–Movement and direction of an on-
coming vehicle or a vehicle ahead.

Headlight beam leveler
(models with LED headlights)The LED headlights produce more light
than conventional halogen headlights.
When the vehicle is carrying a heavy load
and the headlight beams are angled
upwards, the driver of an oncoming vehicle
may experience glare.
To prevent this, the automatic headlight
beam leveler adjusts the headlights to the
optimum height automatically depending
on the load the vehicle is carrying.

Wiper and washer
WARNING
In freezing weather, do not use the
windshield washer until the wind-
shield is sufficiently warmed by the
defroster.
Otherwise the washer fluid can
freeze on the windshield, blocking
your view.
CAUTION
.Do not operate the washer con-
tinuously for more than 10 sec-
onds, or when the washer fluid
tank is empty. This may cause
overheating of the washer motor.
Check the washer fluid level fre-
quently, such as at fuel stops.
.Do not operate the wipers when
the windshield or rear window is
dry. This may scratch the glass,
damage the blade rubbers and
might cause the wiper motor to
fail. Before operating the wiper
on a dry windshield or rear win-
dow, always use the windshield
washer..In freezing weather, be sure that
the blade rubbers are not frozen
to the windshield or rear window
before switching on the wipers.
Attempting to operate the wiper
withthebladesfrozentothe
window glass could cause not
only the blade rubbers to be
damaged but also might cause
the wiper motor to fail. If the blade
rubbers are frozen to the window
glass, be sure to operate the
defroster, windshield wiper dei-
cer (if equipped) or rear window
defogger before turning on the
wiper.
.If the wipers stop during opera-
tion because of ice or some other
obstruction on the window, this
might cause the wiper motor to
fail even if the wiper switch is
turned off. If this occurs,
promptly stop the vehicle in a
safe place, turn the ignition
switch to the“LOCK”/“OFF”po-
sition and clean the window glass
to allow proper wiper operation.
.Use clean water if windshield
washer fluid is unavailable. In
areas where water freezes in
winter, use SUBARU Windshield
Washer Fluid or the equivalent.

(215,1)
北米Model "A1320BE-C" EDITED: 2017/ 10/ 10
Refer to“Windshield washer
fluid”F11-28.
.Do not clean the blade rubbers
with gasoline or a solvent, such
as paint thinner or benzine. This
will cause deterioration of the
blade rubbers.
NOTE.The windshield wiper motor is pro-
tected against overloads by a circuit
breaker. If the motor operates continu-
ously under an unusually heavy load,
the circuit breaker may trip to stop the
motor temporarily. If this happens, park
your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the
wiper switch, and wait for approxi-
mately 10 minutes. The circuit breaker
will reset itself, and the wipers will
again operate normally.
.Clean your blade rubbers and win-
dow glass periodically with a washer
solution to prevent streaking, and to
remove accumulations of road salt or
road film. Operate the windshield
washer for at least 1 second so that
washer solution will be sprinkled all
over the windshield or rear window.
.Grease, wax, insects or other mate-
rial on the windshield or the blade
rubbers results in jerky wiper operationand streaking on the glass. If you
cannot remove those streaks after
operating the washer or if the wiper
operation is jerky, clean the outer sur-
face of the windshield or rear window
and the blade rubbers using a sponge
or soft cloth with a neutral detergent or
mild-abrasive cleaner. After cleaning,
rinse the window glass and blade
rubbers with clean water. The glass is
clean if no beads form on the glass
when you rinse with water.
.If you cannot eliminate the streaking
even after following this procedure,
replace the blade rubbers with new
ones. For replacement instructions,
refer to“Replacement of wiper blades”
F11-29.
&Windshield wiper and washer
switchesThe wiper operates only when the ignition
switch is in the“ON”or“ACC”position.
!Operating the wiper lever
: Mist operation (for a single wipe): Off: Intermittent operation: Low speed operation:High speed operation
For a single wipe of the wipers, push the
lever up. The wipers operate until you
release the lever.
