TABLE OF CONTENTS

Daytime Running Lights
The daytime running lights automatically turn on when the engine is running, the parking
brake is released, the select lever is out of the “P” position, and the light switch is set to
Off, “AUTO”, or “
”. Always turn on the headlights when it’s dark outside by rotating
the dial to the “
” or “AUTO” position.
TURN SIGNALS
Push fully up for the right turn signal and fully
down for left turn signal. Your Subaru also has
a one-touch lane changer feature: push slightly
up and release to signal a right lane change or
push slightly down and release to signal a left
lane change.
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.

Auto Vehicle Hold (AVH)
Auto Vehicle Hold gives your feet a break by
automatically holding your Subaru in place
when at a complete stop, such as at a traffic
signal, even after you release the brake pedal.
To turn on Auto Vehicle Hold:
1On the Home screen select the “Car
Settings” icon.
2In the “Vehicle Control” menu, select
“Auto Vehicle Hold”. The AVH indicator
will illuminate in the combination meter.
While your Subaru is being held by this
function, the operation indicator in the
combination meter will illuminate. The function
is canceled when you depress the accelerator
pedal or the brake pedal.
Select “Auto Vehicle Hold” again to turn it off.
The function works with the select lever in
either the “D” or “R” position.
NOTE:
• For this system to work your seatbelt must
be fastened.
• Make sure to turn off this function before
entering an automatic car wash.

SOUND
To change the sound settings, press the “Home” button and select “Settings”, then
“Sound”. Choose the setting you want to change.
SETTING FUNCTION
Audio In the audio settings, you may have the following setting capabilities:
•Sound Customization— This function allows you to set the Equalizer,
Balance/Fader and Vocal Image Control.
•Equalizer— How good an audio program sounds is largely
determined by the mix of the treble, mid and bass levels. In fact,
different kinds of music and vocal programs usually sound better
with different mixes of treble, mid and bass.
•Balance/Fader— A good balance of the left and right stereo
channels and of the front and rear sound levels is also important.
Keep in mind that when listening to a stereo recording or broadcast,
changing the right/left balance will increase the volume of 1 group of
sounds while decreasing the volume of another.
•Vocal Image Control— Extracts only vocal sound from whole
sound and adjusts volume balance off vocals only.
•Sound Restorer— This function plays compressed audio with quality
near original sound by adding the complement signal of high tone.
•Virtual Bass— This function corrects the bass sound by adding
harmonic sound.
•Dynamic Beat Enhancer— This function expands the dynamic range
lost in data compression and creates a sharp beat sound.
•Speed Volume Control— The system adjusts to the optimum volume
and tone quality according to vehicle speed to compensate for increased
vehicle noise.
•AUX Volume Gain— Sets the AUX volume gain.

FRONT VIEW MONITOR(if equipped)
The Front View Monitor provides you with
visibility from the front grille shown in the
Center Information Display, improving visibility
when making turns with an obstructed view or
pulling into a narrow parking spot. A guide line
is also displayed to provide distance and
width references.
Press the Front View Monitor
switch on the center console to
display the Front View Monitor
image on the Center Information
Display (CID). You can manually
turn off the Front View Monitor by
pressing the Front View Monitor
switch again or with the Car
Settings icon, Home button, or
Driver Profiles icon. The function
also automatically turns off when
the select lever is shifted to “P”,
the parking brake is applied,
vehicle speed becomes 12.5 mph
or more, or 3 minutes have
passed since the last operation.
BLIND-SPOT DETECTION (BSD)/ REAR CROSS-
TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA)(if equipped)
This system uses radar sensors mounted behind the rear bumper on the left and right
sides that warn you if another vehicle is sensed in your blind spots. These functions
provide additional awareness when changing lanes or driving in reverse.
Blind-Spot Detection (BSD)
This function senses if a vehicle is in your blind spot and provides a
visual warning (yellow light) in the corresponding side mirror frame.
Lane Change Assist (LCA)
Lane Change Assist (LCA) works with Blind Spot Detection to
provide an additional level of warning if you attempt to change lanes
with a vehicle in your blind spot. LCA will rapidly flash the corresponding side mirror
indicator if you operate your turn signal when a vehicle is sensed in your blind spot.

“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 along with beeps.
