be programmed to automatically
recall your preferred Power
Driver’s Seat and side mirror
positions each time you enter
your vehicle. For step by step
instructions on setting the Power
Memory Seat, please refer to
page 118.
Head Restraint Adjustment
Pull the head restraint up to raise
it to the first position. To raise it
farther, press the release button
on top of the seatback while
raising the head restraint. To lower
the head restraint, push it down
while pressing the release button.
Each head restraint should be
adjusted so that the center of the
head restraint is closest to the top
of the occupant’s ears.
The angle of the front head
restraints can be adjusted by
tilting them forward. You will hear
a click when the restraint locks in
place. Pulling the head restraint as far forward as it will go allows it to return to the fully
upright position.

calls, or play music directly from your device while keeping it stowed for safety.
For step-by-step instructions on how to pair a Bluetooth
®device to the audio system,
please see page 119 for Android devices or page 123 for Apple devices. A QR code and
link to more information can also be found on page 72.

the CD icon on the “Media” Screen. Depending on the CD format, the CD album art work
may appear on the Touchscreen.
USB / iPod
You can plug in a USB memory storage device or iPod into the USB ports. This will bring
up the media screen with controls. If using an iPod, make sure to use an Apple certified
cable or MFi certified cable for proper operation.
AUX Input
The AUX jack is a port that allows input from
an audio device such as MP3 players, portable
music players, and iPods. To access the AUX
menu, plug in the device to the AUX jack and
the menu will appear, or select the AUX menu
from the “Media” Screen.

Updating Maps Using Your PC/MAC

allow the entire map program to be updated at one time. This is a
great option if you are going to take a cross-country trip and your
maps have not been updated in a while.
To update the map using a USB memory device, start by going to
www.subaru-maps.com.

DROWSY/INATTENTIVE WARNINGS
DriverFocus®detects when the driver is possibly not paying
attention or is becoming drowsy while driving. It works whether you
are a registered user or not. The system does not provide alerts
when the turn signals are operating or when the select lever is in the
“R” position.
When the system perceives the driver is not paying attention, the
“Keep Eyes on Road” warning will appear in the CMD along with
three rapid beeps.
When the system perceives drowsy driving, various warnings will
appear in the CMD and/or MFD, along with beeps.
Press the Driver Monitoring System OFF button on the instrument
panel to turn the system off. Press it again to turn the system back on again.
