WINDSHIELD WIPERS
To turn on the wipers, press the wiper control
lever down one position for intermittent, two
positions for low speed, or three positions for
high speed. When the lever is in the
intermittent position, rotate the dial to adjust
the operating interval of the wipers. To turn the
wipers off, return the lever to the “OFF”
position. For a single wipe, move the lever up
from the “OFF” position.
Pull the lever toward you to wash the
windshield. The washer will spray and the wipers will operate while you pull the lever.
REAR WINDOW WIPER
Rotate the end of the lever up one position for
intermittent, or two positions for continuous
operation.
When the lever in is the intermittent position,
the wiper operates at intervals corresponding
with vehicle speed. When you move the select
lever to the “R” position, the wiper will switch
to continuous operation. It will return to
intermittent when you move the select lever
out of “R”.
Rotate the dial up from the continuous operation position or down from the “OFF” position
to spray washer fluid. The washer will spray until you release the dial, then return to the
previous position and resume operation.
Rear-vision Camera Washer
To help keep your vision clear, your Subaru
comes equipped with a Rear-vision Camera
Washer. To clean the Rear-vision Camera,
simply use the rear window washer.
For more information, about the Rear
Vision Camera and Rear Vision Camera
Washer, please refer to page 93 or your
Owner’s Manual.
