Headlight beam leveler
(Canada-spec. 2.5XT)
The 2.5XT has High-Intensity Discharge
(HID) headlights on the low beam setting.
The HID headlights generate more light
than conventional halogen headlights.
Therefore a driver of an oncoming vehicle
may experience too much glare when
your headlight beam height adjustment is
high due to the vehicle carrying a heavy
load.
The headlight beam leveler can be used
to adjust beam height to avoid such a con-
dition.
The higher the number the switch is
turned to, the lower the beam height be-
comes.
Parking light switch
The parking light switch operates regard-
less of the ignition switch position.
By pushing the front end of this switch, fol-
lowing lights will come on.
– Parking lights
– Front side marker lights
– Tail lights
– License plate lights
To turn off, push the rear end of the park-
ing light switch.
Avoid leaving these lights on for a long
time because that will run down the bat-
tery.Front fog light button
The front fog lights operate only when the
headlights are on low beam. Push the
front fog light button to turn the front fog
lights on.
However, the front fog lights turn off when
the headlights are switched to high beam.
Press the button again to turn them off.
The indicator light located on the button
will illuminate when the front fog lights are on.

11 - 4 6 Maintenance and service
„Headlights (Except Canada-
spec. 2.5XT)
NOTE
y If headlight aiming is required, con-
sult your SUBARU dealer for proper
adjustment of the headlight aim. y It may be difficult to replace the
bulbs. Have your SUBARU dealer re-
place the bulbs if necessary. Before replacing the left-hand (battery-
side) low- or high-beam light bulb, remove
the screw that retains the windshield
washer nozzle and tip the windshield
washer nozzle sideways. T
Low beam light bulbs
1. Remove the bulb cover, by turning it
counterclockwise.
2. Remove the retainer spring, then pull
out the bulb and electrical connector unit.
Halogen headlight bulbs become
very hot while in use. If you touch
the bulb surface with bare hands or
greasy gloves, finger prints or
grease on the bulb surface will de-
velop into hot spots and cause the
bulb to break. If there are finger
prints or grease on the bulb surface,
wipe them away with a soft cloth
moistened with alcohol.
